My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 1975

Her heart buoyant, Adrienne wore a smile on her face, the kind of smile which showed everyone the profound extent of her joy.

However, always one to say what she did not mean, she blurted, "You promised that I could go shopping with Sierra today. Why did you follow me here? Can't you give me a whit of freedom?"

"Adrienne, I swear I will hurl you off this building." Jefferson glared at Adrienne, begrudgingly. He really wanted to bestow her a good beating.

Jefferson's heart had never left Adrienne the moment she left the house. He followed them around for a while but never showed himself, allowing them all the time in the world to shop to their heart's content.

When Adrienne was footing the bill, Jefferson realized that all her money was with him. That was the only reason he showed up and paid for the bill. To his chagrin, she was annoyed by him.

"It was you..." While Adrienne was speaking, she noticed that Jefferson's expression was off, and she immediately stopped.

She knew that Jefferson was really angry at that moment, and who knew what he might do if she were to provoke him further?

"Hurl her if you dare," Sierra said calmly as she stared Jefferson down. "I can even lend you a hand, should you need any."

Jefferson knew what kind of a person Sierra was. She was a real troublemaker. "Sierra, you mother of all devils. Would it cost you anything if you just sit still and stop causing trouble for a day?"

Smile blossoming on her face, Sierra rebuked, "You were the one who said you wanted to hurl her off the building. I'm just trying to help you out of the kindness of my heart. Why would you flip at me? Jefferson, you're a man. You should keep your word."

"Sierra Yard..." Jefferson was about to argue with Sierra when he saw a familiar figure through his peripheral vision.

He immediately whipped his head around and was met with the sight of Johan standing not too far away from them.

Johan was with his assistant, looking as if they were there for work.

It might have been a chance encounter the first time they met but they were still running into each other even after they had switched malls. Furthermore, this mall wasn't even owned by the Silas Group. Only a fool would believe that it was just a coincidence.

Jefferson was about to release his temper on Sierra, but he had switched his target to Johan that instant. "Johan, I never got the chance to meet you whenever I wanted to in the past. Yet somehow today, we keep bumping into each other. Are you, by any chance, looking to acquire this mall, Mr. Silas?"

Johan looked at him frigidly and did not respond.

Alexis, who was behind Johan, said, "Mr. Hefner, that information is confidential, and we haven't released it to the public yet. How did you know?"

Jefferson was taken aback by the response.

"What the f**k!"

Was Johan really going to buy this shopping mall?

In the midst of Jefferson's confusion, Alexis added, "Mr. Hefner, Mr. Silas really isn't following you guys around. We're here simply because of work."

Alexis finally understood why Johan had decided to bring forward the acquisition. It turned out that it was to create another chance encounter with Sierra.

"This man is really the lowest of the low. Words cannot describe him, even." Alexis thought to himself.

Everyone could tell that this encounter was not a coincidental one, so it was not surprising that Jefferson would think so as well.

But how did Johan know that Sierra would be at that specific mall?

Could it be that he had installed a tracking device on Sierra?
