My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 1944

"I guessed it right, didn't I? I must have. Otherwise you wouldn't be looking so shocked." Jefferson stared at him in utter disbelief as she smiled gently and calmly. Adrienne continued, "I have been trying to find the murderer who killed them for the past two years, but I never thought that..."

Jefferson grabbed her on the shoulder and said with his teeth gritted, "Yes, Adrienne, you're right. Your father didn't die, and he's living under a new identity. Your mother was the only one who died two years ago."

"So he just stood by and watched those bad guys hurt my mother? Or was he the person who killed her?" Adrienne reckoned that such things wouldn't even happen in soap operas, and yet she was experiencing it herself.

"I'm not sure. The only person who knows the truth is your father." Back then, the crime scene was destroyed, and even the supposed victim was different right then. It would be tough for them to find out the truth unless Sheridan confessed his crimes himself.

Adrienne took a deep breath before asking,

"Jefferson, can you tell me what he had been up to in the past two years?"

"He's now the head of the largest drug trafficking group in Chatterton Town, and also the instigator behind those serial cases we have recently encountered." Each word he spoke was like an arrow that shot right through Adrienne's heart.

She didn't want to believe it, but she had to.

Adrienne knew that Jefferson would not tell her all this so confidently if he hadn't already found evidence.

She wanted to cry, but she couldn't. "In the past two years, I have fantasized countless times, hoping that everything that had happened was just a dream. I would always dream that my parents would still be alive once I wake up from my sleep... Now that I know he's still alive and what he did, I actually wished that he did die two years ago."

"Adrienne..." The moment Jefferson called her name, she interrupted him once again, "Jefferson, do you think I should be happy or sad?"

"Adrienne, stop! Stop talking!" He grabbed her hand and found that her hand was as cold as ice. He immediately wrapped it in his palms and rubbed it. "Don't overthink, okay?" "I'm fine." She glanced at him with a smile. She still had him; there was nothing that couldn't be solved with him by her side. "We have already agreed that whoever goes against the law must be brought to justice. No one can be an exception."

Jefferson nodded, and Adrienne continued, "Jefferson, I know that considering my current position, I shouldn't ask you any more questions, but I can't help but wonder. Have you already gotten any conclusive evidence of his crime?"

"Yes, I have what I need. I'm just waiting for the opportunity to take him and his organization down in one fell swoop." Although this was confidential information, Jefferson decided to be honest with her. He believed that Adrienne had her principles and professional ethics. He had faith that she would not reveal any of these to anyone.

Adrienne asked again, "Can I meet him?"

Jefferson knew who she was referring to and he wasn't surprised by her request at all. He wasn't worried about her disclosing anything, rather he was concerned that she would get hurt.

He questioned back with great solemnity, "Adrienne, are you sure you want to meet him?"
