With Jefferson's long legs, he quickly caught up to Adrienne and yanked her back. "Little idiot, what did you just say? I dare you to say it again."
Adrienne laughed and said, "Idiot, I called you an idi..."
Before she could finish saying the word 'idiot', Jefferson sealed her lips with a kiss. Adrienne was so taken aback that her body stiffened.
They were in a park. There were many people coming and going, and soon some people were looking over at them.
Adrienne wailed internally, "Mr. Hefner, can't you pay more attention to our surroundings before doing something like this?"
Fortunately, Jefferson soon let her go, but he held her in his arms again. Adrienne could not break free; she was trapped like a bird in a cage. She acted like she couldn't see the people walking by. Yes, as long as she couldn't see them, they couldn't see her, right...?
However, Adrienne soon heard Jefferson's arrogant voice, which shattered her fantasy. "What are you looking at? I'm kissing my wife, it's none of your business."
Adrienne was too embarassed to speak.
There was nothing wrong with him kissing his wife, but couldn't he be more aware of where they were?
They were in a public area, not his backyard. Or did he think that every park in the world was his own personal garden?
Adrienne wished that she could pretend she didn't know him.
But there was nothing she could do. His grip around her was way too tight. She was almost out of breath in his arms but she couldn't even break free or rebuke him.
The people around them were scared off by Jefferson's fierce look. No one dared to stare at them anymore; they quickly dispersed. The people passing by all went around them as if they were avoiding the plague.
It was only then did Jefferson let go of Adrienne. Seeing Adrienne's face blush bright red, a smug smile appeared on his face. He said, "I'm your man, Adrienne. What's wrong with me kissing you when I want to?"
Adrienne didn't know where to start. She just wanted to bite him. However, in terms of height and strength, she knew she would lose so she could only say, "Jefferson, can we just pretend that we don't know each other when we go out from now on?"
Jefferson pinched her face. "If you say something that makes me unhappy again, I'll carve the words 'Jefferson's wife' on your forehead. Then we'll see if you can ever act like you don't know me."
Adrienne knew that Jefferson liked to scare her but he really thought that she would be frightened by that? She decided to argue back, "From now on, when I go out, I'll pretend that I don't know you. Mark my face if you dare."
"Little idiot, you think I won't do it?" The sinister smile on Jefferson's face sent chills down Adrienne's spine. She regretted it immediately, wondering if he might actually do as he said. Before she could respond, Jefferson acted first.
He opened his mouth and bit her face.
"Jefferson, what are you doing? You just bit me!" That b*stard bit her, and on the face even. The pain made her squirm, and just as she thought a chunk of her face was about to be ripped off by him, he let go. He looked at her intensely. "Little Specky, no matter how bold you are, if I say you can't do something, then you're not allowed to do it."
Adrienne touched the part of her face that Jefferson had just bitten, and tears began to welled up in her eyes. She scolded in exasperation, "You're a b*stard!"
Jefferson went closer to her, his warm breath tickling her ear. "It's not like you didn't know that I've been a b*stard all along."
Adrienne fought back the tears in her eyes and glared at him. Then, she turned around and walked away.
"Little Specky..." Jefferson immediately caught up with her, but he noticed Adrienne was really angry at him that time. There were many people around, and she was much smaller than Jefferson, so she could move much quicker through the crowd but it took Jefferson quite some effort before he caught up to her.
