My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 1927

"Could it be the perpetrator behind all these recent cases?"

Adrienne thought to herself.

Why would Jefferson go see him alone?

Why didn't he bring any backups?

Although Adrienne knew Jefferson must have had his own reasons for doing so, when she thought about his life possibly being in danger, she just couldn't sit still.

Right then, the person that popped into her mind was Jefferson's father, Albert.

Albert was a reputable figure in Chatterton Town. He had eyes everywhere and he was in a position of power. Besides that, he had the support of the Yard family. If they stepped in, no one would dare to lay their fingers on Jefferson.

Without much further thought, Adrienne quickly dialed Albert's number.

The call connected extremely quickly, so much so that Adrienne wondered if Albert had been waiting for her call.

Adrienne went right to the heart of the matter. She said, "Sorry for bothering you this late, Mr. Albert.

Jefferson went out to meet someone tonight. I don't know who it is, but I know that he may be in danger. Can you please send someone to rescue him?"

"I can." Albert did not ask her what had happened, as if he already knew about it all along. "But on one condition."

A condition?

Jefferson's life was at stake! How could Albert be talking about conditions?

Nervous, Adrienne gulped. "Please go ahead."

"You have to promise me that you'll leave Jefferson, that you'll never appear in front of him again, and don't ever let him find you. Then, I'll send someone to save him immediately. I'll give you my word that he will be back home safe and sound." Albert's tone was emotionless.

"He is your son. Aren't you worried about his safety?" Adrienne held onto her phone tightly. It was the only way she could calm herself down a little. "Why would you still try to haggle over conditions at a time like this?"

As if Albert had exhausted all his patience, his tone became even frostier as he told Adrienne, "If it weren't for you, he wouldn't have been in danger at all tonight. That's the reason I'm asking you to leave him."

Adrienne did not understand what the incident that night had to do with her. Thus, she asked, "What does it have to do with me?"

Albert replied, "You've been investigating the cause of your parents' death, and Jefferson has been helping you. You should know that it was not just a simple murder case. The closer he gets to the truth, the more danger he will be in."

Adrienne fell silent.

She had known since long ago that the case was a complicated one, because every time she got closer to the truth, she would end up arriving at a deadlock, and more murder cases would happen. For the past two years, there had been no exception to that mode of operation.

Adrienne knew that it was dangerous to continue investigating. That was why she always wanted Jefferson to stay out of the matter. However, because of her, Jefferson still forced his way into the situation and put himself in danger time and time again.

Noting Adrienne's silence, Albert said again, "Of course, you can continue to stay with Jefferson for the sake of your love and your parents and let him risk his life. I've told him before as well that if he insists on staying with you, it's as good as him disowning me as his father. Since he doesn't acknowledge me as his father, I have no obligation to save him."

Every word he spoke was like a bullet piercing right through Adrienne's heart. She found herself unable to retort Albert's words at all.

In the past, before Adrienne realised her feelings for Jefferson and that she couldn't live without him, she would have agreed to leave him in a heartbeat.

But now, she had already planned to live a good life with Jefferson. Adrienne even promised him that once Freya's case was solved, she would take time off and go on a honeymoon with him.
