My Husband, Warm The Bed

Chapter 1921 - I'm Yours

Britney ignored Jefferson altogether and went forward to hold Adrienne's hands tightly. After at looking Adrienne from head to toe, she asked, "Adrienne, have you been very busy with work recently?" Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Adrienne replied politely, "Not really."

Britney looked distressed as she continued, "Although it's only been a few days since we last met, you've lost a lot of weight. If it's not because of your work, then it must be Jefferson. Did he bully you?"

Without waiting for Adrienne's reply, Jefferson butted in. "My Queen, you can't wrong your son like that. I'm telling you, it's already a wonder that I'm not being bullied by Little Specky at home. How would I dare bully her?"

Adrienne glared at him.

Britney patted him on the head with a smile, "You, getting bullied? How many people in the world are able to bully you? Don't think that I don't know what type of person you are."

"Whatever my personality is, you're the one who gave birth to me. It's all your fault," Jefferson replied.

Britney asked, "So your birth was a mistake I made?"

"No, no, it wasn't a mistake. Only an outstanding mother like you could give birth to such an excellent son like me." Jefferson answered.

Britney retorted, "You really have a way with words, huh?"

As Adrienne watched the mother and son bicker, she felt as if she was seeing her own mother.

When Adrienne's mother was alive, like any other child, Adrienne would occasionally piss her mother off. When that happened, Adrienne would only need to hug her mother, call her "Mrs. Carter" sweetly, and praise her for being the most beautiful mother in the world. Then, her anger would subside, and she would look at Adrienne tenderly.

It was a pity that Adrienne could no longer see her mother's gentle and beautiful smile in that lifetime. She could no longer hear her mother call her with that sweet voice anymore. She could no longer see her father's handsome and kind face too... If Adrienne had known that such a thing would happen, she would have stayed by their side all the time, so that she could have even a second more with them.

"Little Specky, why are you standing there like a fool? Let's go in." Jefferson suddenly grabbed her slim waist with his strong arms, bringing Adrienne back to her senses. She raised her head slightly and looked at him. Fortunately, even after she had lost all her relatives, she still had him by her side.

"Little Specky, don't look at me like that, or you'll have to bear the consequences," Jefferson quipped. Adrienne definitely didn't know how seductive her innocent and bright eyes were. If he wasn't at his parents' place right then, he would have embraced her and gone for another round.

Adrienne just gave him a slight smile and said, "Jefferson, thank you."

"Thank me? How do you plan to thank me?" Jefferson asked. Adrienne had only thanked him with her words but Jefferson hoped that she would use her actions to show her appreciation. For example, she could exercise more so that her stamina would improve.

Looking into Jefferson's eyes, Adrienne knew that he was thinking of something inappropriate again. Thus, she did not answer him and just went straight inside. As soon as she entered the house, she saw Albert sitting on the sofa. He did not look over, but Adrienne still felt a sense of discomfort all over. She greeted him softly, "Mr. Albert." "Mm," Albert replied while drinking his tea.

In the past, he would try to be respectful towards Adrienne in front of Jefferson and Britney, but he couldn't care less to do that anymore right then.

Britney was unhappy at that sight. She walked to Albert's side, pinched him hard and shot him a warning look. It was only then did Albert look at Adrienne and say, "Have a seat."

"Okay." Adrienne responded, but she did not sit. She tugged at Jefferson's clothes and asked him, "Didn't you say that you wanted to show me something? Where is it?"

Jefferson wondered when he had ever said such a thing.

"My Queen, I'll take Little Specky upstairs to look at something. Let us know when dinner is ready. Thanks!" Jefferson knew that Adrienne felt uncomfortable there, so he took her hand and went upstairs.

They went to his room. As soon as they were inside, Jefferson pressed Adrienne against the door and asked, "Little Specky, tell me honestly, did Albert do anything to you?"

Feeling guilty, Adrienne looked away. "What are you talking about? He's your father. What could he possibly do to me?"

Jefferson knew Adrienne inside and out. Her face would turn red when she lied, and she would turn flustered. Anyone could see through her at a glance. He asked again, "What did he do to you?"

Adrienne stammered, "He- he didn't do anything. Don't talk nonsense."

"Well, if you don't want to tell me yourself then I'll go and ask him," Jefferson said sternly.

"Jefferson!" Adrienne reached out to hold onto Jefferson, who was about to leave. She put her little face on his back and rubbed it gently. "I want to stay with you for the rest of my life."

Jefferson froze.

Adrienne continued, "You are my husband. Your parents are my parents too. I want to be filial to them, I don't want you to quarrel with them because of me and make them unhappy."

Jefferson was happy to hear that, but at the same time, Adrienne's words had also proved his guess right. Albert must've done something to Adrienne behind his back.

In the past, he had wondered constantly the reason Adrienne didn't like going to his parents' home. That day, he understood everything after he thought about it.

How could Jefferson bear his Little Specky to be wronged like that?

Now that Jefferson knew about it, he insisted on getting to the bottom of the matter. "Tell me, what on earth did he do to you?"

Adrienne continued hugging him. She did not look up as she was afraid that she couldn't say anything under his gaze. "He really didn't do anything."

Once Jefferson decided on something, especially if it concerned Adrienne, no one would be able to stop him. "If you don't want to say it, then so be it.

I will go and ask him myself."

"Jefferson, don't..." Adrienne held him tightly. Her strength was nothing compared to Jefferson's, but he deliberately let her hold him down. She finally said, "I'll tell you, but promise me that you won't be angry and confront your father about it, okay?"

Jefferson lowered his head, tipping her face back so that their eyes met. "Okay. Don't lie to me."

"It's just that he doesn't approve of us being together. He thinks that Eunice is a better match for you." Seeing that Jefferson's expression had turned even darker, Adrienne added, "But it doesn't matter whether he approves of us or not. We are married now. You want me, and I want you. As long as we have each other, no one can't get between us."

Hearing that Albert actually did such a thing behind his back, Jefferson was furious at first, but his anger was instantly extinguished by Adrienne's following words.

Jefferson gently pinched her delicate face with his calloused fingers. "Little Specky, you must remember that I'm yours. I won't allow you to give me to anyone else."

"Yeah, I know that." Adrienne was still nestled in his arms, listening to his strong and steady heartbeat. She then said in a soft voice, "I'm yours too, Jeff."

Jefferson still heard what she said even though she spoke extremely softly.

Jefferson hugged her, and his blazing lips once again pressed against hers.
