My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 1940

Upon hearing what Adrienne said, Jefferson's fury extinguished in an instant. He couldn't help but soften his voice as he said, "You've been working the whole day. You have to eat. Let's just grab a quick bite."

"Let's go to Freddy and Fre..." Adrienne wanted to suggest eating at Freddy's restaurant. However, she remembered that Freya had a murder charge hanging over her head and was detained at the station. Adrienne's cheerfulness immediately drained away.

Jefferson reached over to pat her shoulder and comforted her, "We'll be able to eat at Well Eaten Farm and Restaurant again in a few days."

Adrienne cocked her head sideways and glanced at him. "Did you get your hands on new clues without telling me?"

The hand Jefferson had on the steering wheel trembled slightly before he answered, "What are you talking about?"

Adrienne continued, "You don't seem in a hurry to deal with Freya's case so I'm thinking that you must have found something."

Jefferson replied, "Kind of, but it's not confirmed yet."

"Why haven't I heard anything about it?" Adrienne demanded.

After speaking to Sierra, Jefferson had intended to come clean about the whole affair with Sheridan to Adrienne. However, he had yet to think of a way to explain it to her, so he could only play dumb for the time being. "Adrienne, who's the head of the Paramount Criminal Police Team? You or me?"

Adrienne replied hesitantly, "I..."

Jefferson interrupted her. "All right, all right. You should rest well during your off hours. Let's stop talking about work."

Adrienne fell silent.

That man really deserved a good thrashing. Adrienne swore that she would think of a good way to get back at him one day.

Soon, Jefferson and Adrienne arrived at a burger place that they often frequented.

Although the shop was small-scale, it had been around forever. There were many customers who came from far and wide just to get a taste of the burgers there.

In the past, Hodge was a frequent customer too.

Whenever there was a long line, he would tell Adrienne how much he respected the people who could turn such a small business around to become that successful.

Adrienne had not visited for a long time. When she was suddenly met with the familiar sign, smell, and tables, it felt like she could see Hodge sitting by the table at the entrance, eating his favorite beef burger right then.

Burgers could be found anywhere else, but Hodge loved the ones there in particular. Adrienne had eaten at that shop before, but she didn't note anything special about the food there. Hodge used to say that she didn't understand and she never understood what it was that she 'didn't understand' in the past.

At this moment, Adrienne finally realized it. Hodge didn't go there for the taste of the burgers but for the nostalgic experience.

"Jeff, Adrienne, long time no see." By that time, rush hour had passed so there was no ridiculously long line there. However, the place was still quite occupied with customers. The middle-aged lady who ran the place looked around and smiled warmly at the familiar faces. She quickly cleared a table by the door for them. "We're all full inside, so this is the best I can do for you two. Hope you guys understand."

"We're fine with it. I like this seat." Adrienne smiled, took a chair from the side, and pulled Jefferson to sit down. "Madam Betty, please give us two of your signature beef burgers."
