My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 1937

"Of course it's because of you. How long has it been since you visited Grandpa? He misses you so much that he hasn't been able to eat or sleep well, so he asked me to come to Chatterton Town to take you home." Sierra was being honest.

She was only in Chatterton Town because Maxwell was missing Jefferson, and it just so happened that Johan had business to do here, too.

Jefferson admitted he hadn't visited Maxwell in the capital in a while. The thought of it made him feel rather guilty. "I've been so occupied with work recently that I couldn't even make time to see him and I hardly give him any phone calls either. Alas, I admit that I should have done better as a grandson."

Sierra added again, "Then you should go home and pack up. We'll go back tomorrow."

Jefferson leaned back on his chair lazily. He tapped the teacup in front of him with his slender fingers and rejected her, "Not now."

Sierra put on a dignified look and scolded him, "What do you mean 'not now'? Why can't you leave now? I never thought that I would hear those words coming through your lips." "What are you talking about? I have a case at hand so I can't leave just yet. After the case is closed, I'll bring Adrienne along to meet Grandpa. I believe he'll be very happy to see her." Jefferson hoped that he could find the perfect solution to solve this case. Only by solving Sheridan's case would Adrienne be left unharmed. Then, he would have a chance to take her to the capital.

"In the beginning, Grandpa didn't want you to be in this line of work, but you insisted. Nonetheless, he really loves you, and you were determined so he didn't stop you. But how can you put work before him now? Do you lack the money or something? You should know that if he gives his word, you won't be able to keep your job." Sierra wasn't trying to threaten him because Maxwell really did have the ability to do so. Knowing how much he adored Jefferson, he would definitely be willing to do just anything.

"I'm aware of his influence, but you should ask him if he wants to control my life or if he wants me to live the life I want to live." Back when Jefferson chose to venture into criminal investigation, Maxwell had done everything he could to stop him. Meanwhile, Jefferson also tried his best to gain his approval.

"All Grandpa is concerned about is your safety,"

Sierra argued in Maxwell's defense. She knew Jefferson well. If she kept pushing him, he would only distance himself further. However, if she spoke nicely, perhaps he could be persuaded. "Jefferson, it's not that he wants to control your life. He's getting old, and you're his favorite grandson. He misses you and wants you by his side. I don't think he's being unreasonable at all."

"Okay. You should head back first and let Grandpa know that I'll visit him once I'm done with work," Jefferson promised. Maxwell was getting old, and his health had been deteriorating each year. The time he had with his children and grandchildren was getting less, and Jefferson was well aware of that.

Adrienne had told him to spend more time with his family as she did not want him to regret not having done so after losing them like she did.

Sierra persuaded patiently, "Can't you get someone else to take over the case?"

Jefferson shook his head.

"You!" Sierra let out a long sigh. "Why are you so stubborn? You're just like Adrienne. Both of you are so strong-headed yet somehow you two ended up together."

"My Little Specky is cute when she's being stubborn. I like her foolish determination." When they spoke about Adrienne, Jefferson's lips unconsciously curled into a smile. The admiration in his gaze could not be concealed.

Jefferson's feelings for Adrienne were written all over his face. As if he wanted to tell the whole world that he loved his little idiot. Sierra was envious, and in a trance, Jefferson's face suddenly turned into a solemn handsome face...

"Sierra, why are you staring at me like this?" Jefferson's voice broke her train of thought. She smiled and found a random topic, "I'm wondering when you and Adrienne are going to have a baby."
