My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 1960

"Miss Carter, I'll study diligently, and I won't make my mother worry about me anymore."

Bennett nodded obediently, which made Adrienne feel that this little boy in front of her had grown up in an instant.

Whether it was an adult or a child, anyone would change, however slight after encountering something life changing.

Some people became better, while some...

Adrienne shook her head and told herself not to think too much.

That person was already a matter of the past.

What mattered the most from now on was hers and Jefferson's baby.

After the drowning incident, Bennett became a lot more mature and restrained.

He listened attentively in class and was a lot less naughty than before.

It was a good thing of course, but Adrienne was worried that Bennett might have lost his playfulness as a child.

During class, she could not take special care of Bennett. It might cause more harm than good to him if he were to find out.

Adrienne's gaze swept over the children in the classroom and asked, "Dylan, will you answer my question? What is the answer to seven times three?"

Dylan stood up quickly, counted on his fingers, and replied, "Miss Carter, it's twenty four."

"That's incorrect." Adrienne said softly, "But that's fine. Let's try harder to memorize the multiplication table today, okay? You might get it wrong this time, but try to get it right the next time, yeah?"

"Okay, Miss Carter." Dylan bobbed his head hard.

Dylan thought that Miss Carter was the best, for she had never scolded him even if he had answered her questions wrongly. In the past, he had to get spanked on the hand if he answered a question wrong.

"You may be seated, Dylan." Adrienne looked over to Bennett. "Bennett, do you know the answer?"

Rising to his feet, Bennett recited the multiplication table inwardly and replied, "The answer is twenty one."

Adrienne smiled and said, "Yes, very good. The answer is twenty one. We must practice memorizing the multiplication table by heart. Once we master it, we'll be able to answer the questions in a heartbeat."

Adrienne asked another two questions and selected a couple of the students to answer them. Everyone differed in their abilities, but she taught all of them patiently.

"Now, I'll take the lead, and we'll recite the multiplication table together." She started, "One times one is..."

As the class went on, a ball of crumpled paper flew in from the window and hit Adrienne on the head.

"Which naughty student is there? Show yourself." She set down the book and went to the window. "Kids, keep reciting."

Approaching the window, she was about to look out when Jefferson's tall and strong figure barged straight into her line of sight.

In that instant, Adrienne felt a lump in her throat. Her eyes swelled, close to the point of tears.

Unexpectedly, Jefferson suddenly said, "Hey, kids, what's the fun in reciting the multiplication table. Let's go, I'll take you guys to the mountains to catch wild boars."

Adrienne was at a loss for words.

She was so angry that she wanted to send him flying all the way back to Chatterton Town.

Staring at her angry expression, Jefferson grabbed onto the windowsill and hopped into the classroom nimbly.

Ignoring Adrienne's anger, he said to the children, "You kids, close your eyes. I need to hug Miss Carter for a while."

Despite their curiosity, they still, for no apparent reason, followed his instructions and clamped their eyes shut.

Adrienne was stunned.

"I've never seen them being so obedient in class, have I?" she thought.
