My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 1979

"Why are you smiling there like a fool?" As soon as Jefferson got hold of his luggage, he looked back and saw Adrienne looking at him with a smile on her face. Her smile warmed the cockles of his heart, but his words were, as always, blunt.

"I'm smiling because..." Adrienne deliberately dragged her sentence. Seeing that Jefferson's expression was about to turn sour again, she quickly added, "My Jeff has grown up and become such a sensible man. I don't need to worry about you anymore."

"When have I ever made you worry about me though?" Jefferson said as he tapped on the tip of her nose. Adrienne took the opportunity to snuggle into his arms, saying, "Then that simply means you've grown even more considerate than before."

"You finally know what to say to make me happy, huh?" His tone was still as overbearing as usual, but Adrienne could see right through to the gentleness in his eyes.

He held the suitcase in one hand and Adrienne in the other. As they wove through the crowd, he said, "It's been a long day. Let's go back and have a good rest."

Adrienne nodded. "Okay, whatever you say. I'll listen to you, Jeff."

"Jefferson! Adrienne!" Jefferson and Adrienne could hear Freddy and the lot shouting their names the moment they exited the airport.

Jefferson frowned. They were at an airport, a place where clamor reigned, yet they were still yelling at full volume. Did they think it wasn't noisy enough there? He replied, "We can see you. What's with all the shouting?"

Freddy and the others gathered around. Bruce helped Jefferson with the luggage and said, "Jefferson, Adrienne, welcome back to Chatterton Town."

"How did you guys know that we're coming back today?" asked Jefferson with his eyebrows raised.

Freddy took a step forward. "Because we're always keeping an eye out for you guys. You've been away from Chatterton Town for so long, and it wasn't easy for you guys to come back here. How could we not come to pick you two up?"

Jefferson patted Freddy on his shoulder and said, "Well, I appreciate your kindness. But I'll take a rain check today."

Hearing his words, Bruce and Tommy grumbled simultaneously, "Jefferson, we came all the way here to welcome you home. How could you not go drinking with us? That doesn't sound like you at all."

Could it be that Jefferson had become a different man after that long trip?

The four men chatted back and forth, pestering Jefferson to join them for a drink.

While Jefferson wasn't paying attention, Adrienne slipped away and walked over to Freya, wearing a guilty expression.

Before she could apologize, Freya stepped forward and gave Adrienne a hearty hug. "Adrienne, everything is over now. I'm fine, and let's not think about those unpleasant things anymore. We will always be the best of friends like we always do, okay?"

"Freya..." Adrienne held Freya tightly and tried to fight back her tears. She whispered, "Thank you!"

"You don't need to thank me." Freya patted her on the back. "What's there to thank? I have three years on you and you're like my sister. You'd better drop all these pleasantries, alright?"

Freya did not blame Adrienne for what had happened at all. If anything, she felt sorry for Adrienne who had finally found out the truth about her father.

Honestly speaking, Adrienne was the one who suffered the most in that incident.

Throughout that period of time, Freya was worried that Adrienne would not be able to get past this dark time of her life. She even lost some weight from all her worry.

However, Freya was happy beyond words now that Adrienne had returned safe and sound. How could she bear to let Adrienne blame herself?

"Freya, just because you don't blame me for it doesn't mean that those bad things didn't happen." Ever since they were young, Freya had always cared for Adrienne. She was like a sister who accepted each and every one of Adrienne's shortcomings.

Adrienne knew how well Freya treated her.
