My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 1941

After leaving the burger shop, Jefferson suggested they take a walk. Before Adrienne could agree, he was already dragging her along to the well-known Mangrove Bay in Chatterton Town.

Mangrove Bay was near the sea; a vibrant area famous for its nightlife. Hence, although it was already pretty late at night, there were still tons of people coming and going along the path.

Jefferson was the one who had forced Adrienne into that walk, but he was unusually quiet. He didn't say an entire word; he just held her hand tightly. Even someone as slow as Adrienne could tell that something was off with him. She asked, "Jefferson, what's the matter with you today?"

Jefferson pulled her closer to him and asked, "Can't I take you out for a walk?"

Adrienne looked up at him and all she saw was his chiseled jaw. She couldn't help but reach out to pinch him. "Jefferson, I feel like you're getting even more handsome nowadays."

"Well, I always knew that I was handsome. Don't tell me you've just realized that now, you little idiot?" Jefferson grabbed her hand and nibbled at it lightly. A faint smile appeared on his face. Needless to say, he was very pleased by her words.

"I mean, Mr. Hefner, can't you at least try to be humble about it?" That man was really arrogant. After just one compliment, he would be acting like he was the best-looking man on earth.

With no hesitation, Jefferson immediately answered, "If I'm handsome, why should I be humble about it? You'll never find anyone as goodlooking as yours truly."

Adrienne wanted to roll her eyes at him, but when she saw how proud and insolent he was, a feeling of warmth spread in her heart. That was the Jefferson she knew. Not the person who dragged her along without saying a word.

She used to think that his arrogant and overbearing personality was hateful. However, after having experienced so many things, she began to feel that such enthusiasm was a rare thing indeed and she hoped that he would remain that way forever.

Therefore, she tried hard to play along with him. "Yes, it's difficult to find someone better-looking than you are. To be honest, it makes me insecure."

"What's there to be insecure about?" Jefferson let go of Adrienne's hand, and put his arms around her waist instead. He pulled her into his embrace and said, "No matter how attractive I am, and no matter how many women are trying to get me, my heart is already occupied. You are the only little idiot I have in my heart."

"Jefferson, can't you say that in a nicer way?" Adrienne pretended to push him away, but her strength was no match to his. Before she could struggle to break free, he wrapped her tightly in his arms. Her face was pressed to his chest, and she could hear his strong and steady heartbeat. He said in a low voice, "Little Specky, I really love you. I can't live without you. If you decide to leave me one day, I'd probably die."

"J-Jefferson, what are you talking about? Don't say things like that." The sudden and formal confession made Adrienne's scalp tingle with fear.

She was scared because he was acting abnormally that time.

If this was in the past, Jefferson would've said something like, "You little idiot, how could you not know that I love you? Are you trying to p*ss me off?"

Then, she would remain in disbelief and just think to herself that it was his new way of messing with her.

At that moment, she believed him fully, but she was afraid at the same time.

Because she knew that his sudden change in attitude must have something to do with the thing that he was reluctant to tell her.

"I'm being serious. I've never been this serious in my life." Jefferson cupped Adrienne's face in his hands, and tilted it up so that she was looking into his eyes. With a never- before- seen solemn expression, he told her in a sonorous tone, "Adrienne, remember this. Without you, I would die."
