Chapter 1736


    Adrienne didn''t know why, but when she heard Jefferson say that, she let out a sigh of relief. Her


    beating heart started to calm down.


    Hodge coughed softly and said, "Jefferson, we are having a serious discussion. Please don''te


    in here and cause trouble."


    "Mr. Hodge, I''m taking good care of Little Specky. You don''t have to waste your efforts in looking for


    someone else," said Jefferson. In his hand, he was still wiping his body with his shirt. "With me


    taking care of her, you don''t need to worry anymore."


    "I''m even more worried since it''s you." The sight of Jefferson made Hodge feel a headache setting


    in. He immediately pointed at Adrienne and said, "Jefferson, you better open your eyes wide and


    take a good look at Adrienne."


    "I have my eyes wide open. Hmm." Not only did Jefferson look at her, but he also pinched her face.


    "She is a little ugly, but her skin is nice at least. It''s smooth and firm."


    After listening to Jefferson''s words, Hodge got very dissatisfied. How dare Jefferson call Adrienne


    ugly?


    However, that moment wasn''t the time to debate Adrienne''s physical appearance. Hodge wanted


    Jefferson to think she was ugly. "Yes, yes, you''re right. Adrienne is as skinny as a stick. She has no


    sense of style either. All she wears is ck clothes like an old widow. The degree of her sses


    must be at least 500. Without her sses, she''s as blind as a bat. Furthermore, she wears sses


    with such thick, heavy, ck frames... No matter how I look at it, she doesn''t deserve a man like


    you, Jefferson."


    "Grandpa, am I even your granddaughter?" How could Hodge have insulted Adrienne that much in


    front of Jefferson?


    Jefferson looked gleeful at that instant.


    "Mr. Hodge, I know Little Specky is too ugly to be with me. I guess a woman who deserves me


    hasn''t been born yet. What can I do? I can''t stay single forever just because someone else is ugly,


    right?" He knew Hodge was just putting on an act and he was not buying it one bit.


    He snuck closer to Adrienne and ced his face close to hers. "Mr. Hodge, take a good look at


    Little Specky''s face, and then at mine. I promise you, if she marries me, we''ll have a child together


    and your family genes will improve tremendously."


    Jefferson was so arrogant, his nose was up in the air. Hodge only felt his blood reaching a boiling


    point, almost making him dizzy with anger. "Cough, cough, cough..."


    "How unfortunate!" Hodge thought.


    How could such a lovely and sensible girl like Adrienne be gued by Jefferson?


    Jefferson waspletely unaware of his conceit. Perhaps he was aware but he was too narcissistic


    to care. "I''m right, aren''t I?"


    "Jefferson, this is none of your business. You can leave now." Adrienne forcefully pushed Jefferson


    out of the ward. If he continued to stir up trouble there, things would not end well.


    After sending Jefferson away, Adrienne returned to the ward. Hodge, who was coughing his lungs


    out earlier, was fine currently. He looked at Adrienne with great interest. "Adrienne, did you refuse


    Zelson because of Jefferson?"


    "Oh, why hasn''t Mr. Zelsone back from getting water?" Adrienne deliberately changed the topic


    but Hodge did not fall for it. "Answer me, Adrienne."Belongs to N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    Adrienne scratched her head and said, "Grandpa, you''re overthinking it. There''s no way I would


    ever date that monster. You know how he bullied me since I was a child."


    Hodge said, "I don''t care. You have to choose one of them today. If you don''t want to choose, I


    will..."


    He wanted to say that he would refuse to take his medication, but he couldn''t bear to do such a


    thing to his granddaughter. In the end, he didn''t say it out loud. Rather, he started to sulk like a child.


    "Adrienne, I want greatgrandchildren."


    "Grandpa..."


    How could Adrienne be in the mood to settle down with a partner and have children at this time?


    However, Hodge insisted on the matter. "Adrienne, I just want to find someone to apany you


    and share your burdens."


    There were some things that he did not mention, but Adrienne understood.


    Hodge was in poor health and always worried that he would suddenly leave one day, leaving her


    alone without anyone to take care of her.


    Adrienne really wanted to make the old man happy, but getting married and giving birth to children


    was not a joke. It was a huge decision to make and she couldn''t just treat it lightly.


    Nheless, she really couldn''t bear to see her grandfather sad. If she had found a man to have


    children with, would he be happy?


    When Adrienne thought of this, the first man that came to her mind was Jefferson. Since they were


    married already, he should be alright with giving her a child, right?


    At this time, Jefferson stopped Zelson outside the ward. "Zelson, right?"


    Zelson didn''t even look at Jefferson, let alone respond to him.


    Jefferson didn''t seem to mind and continued, "I''m warning you to drop whatever thoughts you have.


    Adrienne is my woman, so don''t even think about it."


    After saying that, Jefferson was about to leave, but Zelson, who had remained quiet all this while,


    said lightly, "I''m not just thinking about it."


    Jefferson jerked his head back. There was a gleam of light in his usually carefree eyes; his re


    was so piercing that it could suck out one''s soul. "What did you just say?"


    Zelson smiled and didn''t say anything else. Then, he walked right past Jefferson.


    After watching Hodge fall back to sleep, Adrienne came out of the ward with dread in her heart. As


    soon as she opened the door, the first person she saw was Jefferson.


    He leaned against the wall, his upper body naked with a cigarette in his hand. Adrienne was


    bothered by this image and immediately stepped forward to take the cigarette out of his hand. "You


    can''t smoke in a hospital. Don''t you have anymon sense?"


    "I''ll do what I want!"


    Adrienne said with frustration, "Fine, fine. Do as you please then. It''s gettingte. Let''s go back


    first."


    Jefferson stretched out his arms and grabbed onto Adrienne''s waist to pull her into his arms. "Let''s


    go home."


    Adrienne did not struggle; perhaps because she was used to his severity. She obediently remained


    in his arms and rested her face against his bare naked chest. This made Jefferson itch and he


    silently called her a ''tempting seductress'' under his breath.


    On the way home, Adrienne was so sleepy that she dozed off in the passenger''s seat. Jefferson


    stopped the car by the roadside, covered her with a nket, and then continued driving.


    After more than half an hour, they arrived home. However, Adrienne still did not wake up. Jefferson


    carefully picked her up and said, "Little Specky, I keep referring to you as a pig all the time and now


    you really have be one."


    Adrienne was in a really deep sleep. Despite his insults, she did not awaken.


    Jefferson was tempted to bite her to wake her up, but when he saw her dark circles under her


    sses, his heart ached. He held her tightly to his chest; her head resting right where his heart was.


    He had married such a silly woman. If he didn''t treasure her, how will he avoid their divorce?
