My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 1972

"Adrienne is a good girl. If we don't help her, then should we just watch as you bully her?" Maxwell was by no means trying to bully Jefferson, but he was worried that this brat would bully and anger his granddaughter-in-law. If so, Jefferson would definitely grow old and die alone.

"When did I bully her?" Staring at Adrienne's pleasantly smiling face, Jefferson felt like he was being treated unfairly. It was that little idiot who was getting on his nerves all these while.

Adrienne pinched him covertly and thought, "Who is the one annoying the other, huh?"

"Since we're on the topic, let's talk then." Maxwell looked at Jefferson and said, "Tell me how much you love Adrienne."

Jefferson was taken aback by Maxwell's question.

It was one thing for him to love Adrienne, but he couldn't be saying it out loud in front of everyone, could he?

He had a reputation to keep up too, all right.

"If you love someone, then you should tell them directly. Look at you. You are so being so hesitant and shy. You should be more decisive like a real man." Maxwell pulled Jefferson's and Adrienne's hand, clasped them together, and said, "Now, say it out loud and let the whole world hear it."

"It's not like I'm doing a live broadcast. How am I supposed to let the whole word hear me?"

Besides, since when had he been shy and hesitant?

Everyone who knew him knew he was taken with Adrienne. There was no need for him to say it out loud.

"That's just a metaphor. Well, it seems like you don't dare to say it out loud after all." Since Jefferson refused to admit, Maxwell glared at him discontentedly and then said earnestly, "Adrienne, although this fella is reluctant to say that he loves you in front of me, I still know that he loves you very much and he has been wanting to marry you for the longest time.

"It doesn't matter if he doesn't say it. As long as I can feel it, Grandpa." Honestly, Adrienne would have been shy anyway if Jefferson were to confess his feelings for her in front of Maxwell.

She was relieved that Jefferson did not actually do that.

"It's good that you can feel that he loves you." Maxwell stared at Jefferson and said, "This brat is a coward. He has loved you for so many years, but he didn't even dare to say it aloud. He was afraid that you wouldn't accept him, and that you wouldn't love him in return..."

A coward?

This was the first time Adrienne had heard someone call Jefferson a coward.

He had always acted like a devil in front of her.

She turned her head to look at Jefferson, who was staring at her unsatisfactorily.

She found the situation hilarious. That man was just a fluke in front of his family, pretending to be all tough.

He really had never admitted outright that he loved her in front of anyone else but Adrienne had never expected it was because he was afraid that she wouldn't reciprocate his feelings.

Perhaps he himself knew how much he had bullied her over these past few years. That was why he was so worried.

The two were shooting flirting looks at each other, but Maxwell pretended not to notice it.

He cleared his throat and said, "The two of you are still young, and there is still a long way ahead. There will be sure to be some bumps along the way, and you will encounter many different things in life. However, as long as you communicate with each other in time, listen to each other patiently, and think about things from each other's perspectives, then your journey together will be one for a lifetime."

"Don't worry, Grandpa. I'll go easy on her. I'll drag her along with me on that journey if I have to." Jefferson just couldn't resist cutting in again.

Maxwell glared at him once again and said, "Listen to me first."

Jefferson immediately shut up.

"Since when did Maxwell become so bossy?" Jefferson thought.
