My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 1957

Maxwell was really happy to see Jefferson.

From the moment he laid eyes on Jefferson, the smile on his face had never faded even a second. He even invited Jefferson out to the park early in the morning to spar.

Jefferson didn't want to ruin the mood, but he didn't dare to go too hard on Maxwell either. After just two moves, Maxwell complained, "You brat, at least try to be less obvious when you're going easy on me."

"Since you can tell I'm going easy on you, then let's just stop right here, alright?" said Jefferson with a smile. "Wouldn't it be nicer if we just sit down and have a chat while drinking tea?"

"Look at you, you're such a young chap yet you're so much less active than I am. Sparring is something you need to practice everyday, or you will lose your touch on it. Am I clear?" Because of his identity, Maxwell was strict to himself as well as his children and grandchildren.

Dote as he might on his heirs, there was a limit to it. He would never break away from his principles, and he would never resort to anything illegal.

Therefore, the Yard family was extremely reputable in the capital.

"Okay, I'll keep that in mind, Grandpa. I'll practice hard every day, I'll not slack even a day." Jefferson helped Maxwell over to take a seat at the nearby bench and poured him some tea. "Here, have some tea, Grandpa."

Maxwell took two sips before he set his teacup on the table and said, "Why did you come alone this time? Why didn't you bring Adrienne with you?"

Maxwell was dying to have some greatgrandchildren, but none of his grandchildren were living up to his wishes.

His eldest granddaughter, Jovane, was an advocate of a child-free life. She had been married for years, yet he had no great-grandchildren to be cradled in his arms.

His second granddaughter, Kaelyn, actually told him that she wanted to enjoy more time alone with her husband, which disappointed Maxwell yet again.

As for Sierra, it was even more of a lost cause. Her wedding date hadn't even been set yet. Who knew how much longer he would need to wait?

Hence, Maxwell had to put all his hopes on Jefferson. Considering his feelings for Adrienne, Maxwell should be able to expect a couple greatgrandchildren in the next three years.

"Grandpa, what does me coming to see you have anything to do with Adrienne? Are you close to her?" asked Jefferson. Jefferson was sulking, but Maxwell was too focused on the thoughts of his future great-grandchildren to notice it.

He asked, "Do you not like Adrienne anymore?"

"Who said that I liked her?"

"It goes without saying the fact that you're smitten with that girl. A more apt question would be who doesn't know that you like her?"

Everyone knew about his feelings for Adrienne, except Adrienne herself. Jefferson felt a little depressed as he said, "Who cares about her, I don't want to have anything to do with her anymore."

Maxwell looked at Jefferson and said, "So you're saying that you don't like Adrienne then?"

Jefferon chose not to answer and sipped on his tea instead.

How could he not like Adrienne? But when he thought about how she had left him behind, his heart twisted in discomfort.
