My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 1962

Among the villagers, Phoebe, who often took care of Adrienne, triumphed over everyone in their curiosity.

Her neck was tired from all the craning when she finally saw Adrienne and a man approaching them.

However, they were still a little far away, so they could not see the man's appearance clearly. They could only see that the man was very tall. And judging from his figure, they could tell that he was a man worthy of Adrienne.

Phoebe couldn't wait anymore as she hurried to greet him. "Miss Carter, I slaughtered one of my chickens today for you. Here you go, it'll be a good source of protein."

She obviously came for Jefferson, but she acted as if she had just noticed his presence. "Miss Carter, this is?"

However, her acting skills could not catch up with her intention. Anyone with a discerning eye would be able to see that she already knew who Jefferson was.

Adrienne did not expose her but smiled sheepishly and did not intend to answer. In any case, Jefferson would pick up the baton for her.

However, Jefferson did not. He stared at her, as if he was waiting for her to confirm his identity to the villagers.

It was impolite for her not to answer when asked, so Adrienne finally replied, "He's my husband."

Upon hearing Adrienne's admission of his identity, Jefferson was proud and pleased beyond words. He felt like he was on cloud nine.

"Oh, so you're Miss Carter's husband. Young fella, you are indeed handsome enough to be with her." Now that Phoebe had a reason, she planted her gaze on Jefferson and sized him up from head to toe. Not only did he have a great physique, his face was good looking, too.

Jefferson was pleased by Phoebe's compliment, so he shot a smile at her and said, "Yes, Madam, I am her husband. Thank you for your praise, and thank you for taking care of Adrienne all these while."

Adrienne didn't join in the conversation.

Who knew what kind of show he's putting on again? She thought.

At that moment, the other villagers chimed in, "He's not bad at all. He's handsome and friendly too. He doesn't have the airs of a big city folk."

Adrienne widened her eyes in surprise.

She had never heard anyone describe Jefferson as friendly before. Even in front of their best friends, he always had the temper of a haughty big boss.

He never liked anyone, and he was always unreserved with his words.

It was obvious that he was faking it at that moment.

"All of you should really wait to get to know the real him before praising him. Otherwise you'll be eating your words one day," thought Adrienne.

Everyone surrounded Jefferson, and one by one they praised him. They pretty much used up every compliment in the book. Meanwhile, Adrienne had been left aside, without anyone paying any attention to her.

The villagers who had brought food over for Adrienne immediately stuffed them all in Jefferson's hands. "Welcome to our village, young man. If you need our help in the future, just let us know.”

"Adrienne and I will be staying here for a while. I'm sure we'll be in need of your help in the future. Please accept my thanks in advance." At the mention of Adrienne, Jefferson turned his head and realized his wife was missing.

However, thanks to his tall stature, he could look

over the crowd. He scanned around and found that Adrienne had already entered the house and was about to close the door.

He quickly said, "Everyone, Adrienne is angry at me now. If I don't go back now, she definitely won't let me through the door tonight."

The villagers understood in an instant and consciously spread out, making way for him. "You'd better go to her quickly."

"Yes, yes, thanks guys..." Jefferson held onto all the things the villagers had given him and hurried to chase up to Adrienne. However, he was a step too late as Adrienne shut the door in his face. "Adrienne, open the door!"

Adrienne ignored him.
