Chapter 1742


    Hearing her words, Jefferson''s hazy eyes suddenly lit up. "You know?"


    "Yes." Adrienne was almost unable to stand up straight because of his weight, but she still nodded.


    "I saw the photo on your desk that morning. She was the one who poured water on you that day.


    She was really beautiful. If I were a man, I would probably like her too. If you like her, you should


    just go for it. I won''t hold you back just because I''m your wife on paper."


    "Are you trying to infuriate me to death?" Jefferson''s eyes gradually darkened as he looked at her


    with a muddled look as if he was a soulless person. "Adrienne, the woman I like is you."


    "Me?" Adrienne knew that she shouldn''t beughing at this moment, but she felt like it was a


    ridiculous thing to hear.

    Jefferson could usually drink quite a lot. Adrienne wondered how much he drank that day. He was


    so drunk that he was spouting all sorts of nonsense such as him liking her.


    "What are youughing at?" Jefferson clenched his fist and wished he could give her a good


    beating. "Adrienne, you don''t f*cking know at all. I like you. I have always liked you."


    "Okay, okay, I am the one you like. I didn''t know before, but now I know. Come on, stop fooling


    around. Let''s get home first." He said that he liked her, so she just let him say what he wanted. She


    felt that she shouldn''t bother arguing with a drunkard.


    "Little Specky, I really like you!" If Jefferson had not been drunk, he would not have been able to say


    such words especially after beingughed at for his first-ever love confession.


    "Yes, you like me. You love me. I like you too. You''re my most- liked person in the world, Jeff!"


    Adrienne was disgusted by her own words.


    "You like me?" Jefferson took Adrienne''s hand and pouted. "Pinky promise! You can''t go back on


    your words if you pinky- promised me. You can only like me from now on. No one else."


    "Okay! Let''s swear on it!" Adrienne scolded him for being so childish in her heart, but she still pinky


    promised him. It was not like they were taking it seriously. When they were younger, he promised


    not to bully her too, but that onlysted for a second before he made her cry again.


    "You''re my wife now!" Jefferson grinned like a fool.


    "Yes, yes. I am your wife now." Adrienne felt that the weight on her body was getting heavier to


    carry. When she looked up, she realized that Jefferson had fallen asleep.


    "B*stard, stop drinking all the time. You''re just creating more trouble for me." With much effort,


    Adrienne dragged him to the car and fastened his seatbelt on. "Be a good little boy. I''ll take you


    home."


    She had intended to let Jefferson sit in the back seat. However, even though he was drunk, he was


    insistent on sitting in the front passenger seat.


    Adrienne really wondered if he was deliberately pretending to be drunk to make trouble for her but it


    did not look like it. His acting skills weren''t this good.


    Adrienne drove while ncing at Jefferson from time to time. Seeing that he was doing okay, she


    sped up. After more than half an hour, she finally reached their home.


    Jefferson waspletely slumped over by then. When Adrienne helped him onto the bed, she felt


    exhausted. However, Jefferson was still going on and on, and he shouted, "Little Specky, I''m thirsty.


    Get me a ss of water."


    Adrienne really wanted to give him a ss of water mixed with poison. She wanted to poison him to


    death, but she would have to pay for his death with her life. She had no intention of exchanging her


    precious life for his lousy one.


    She poured a ss of warm water and handed it to him, but he did not reach out to take it as if he


    had passed out. She had no choice but to help him up and feed him water slowly.


    In her arms, Jefferson really did look like a child. Adrienne felt her heart soften and she couldn''t help


    but take a second look at him.


    From her angle, she could see his eyshes clearly. His eyshes were really long, and they


    looked nice, especially on his face. They suited him well.


    If he weren''t so arrogant all the time, he''d probably be quite well-liked. Unfortunately, no matter how


    good- looking his appearance was, no one could withstand his annoying personality.


    Therefore, in Adrienne''s eyes, Jefferson wasn''t good-looking at all.


    She pinched his face hard to make funny faces. "Ugly monster, I told you to be nicer to me.


    "Little Specky..." Jefferson suddenly yelled at her, which scared Adrienne so much that she quickly


    let go of her hand. "Sir, what''s wrong with you again?"


    "Remember what you said! Don''t break your promise!" He was so drunk that he was half asleep but


    he was still bringing up Adrienne telling him that she liked him too.


    "Mr. Hefner, do you know who is serving you right now? You look so affectionate that I almost


    believed you." Fortunately, Adrienne was very logical. She knew that in order to trick her, he was


    willing to do anything. She would never trust in what he said.


    If she believed him, he would definitely go around spreading rumors that she had a crush on him.


    "Lie down and don''t move. Otherwise, I''ll throw you out of the window." After feeding Jefferson


    some water, Adrienne put him back into the bed.


    Seeing his face in a mess, she went to the bathroom to get a towel and wiped his face. While she


    did that, she didn''t forget to take some revenge and pinched his face from time to time.


    After everything was done and she was about to leave, she realised that Jefferson was feeling really


    hot. She pressed her cheek against his forehead. "D*mn it, he has a fever."


    No matter how Jefferson suffered, he never got sick. Why did he suddenly get a fever?


    Adrienne immediately started to feel anxious...


    She wasn''t someone who easily caught a cold or a fever either, so there were no medicines at


    home. At this hour, the pharmacies were probably all closed.


    Regardless of whether the pharmacies were closed or not, Adrienne still hurried down the stairs.


    The pharmacy in her neighborhood had already closed. She wandered around for a few blocks


    before she finally found one that was still open.


    After buying the medicine and returning home, Adrienne was already sweating.


    Unexpectedly, when she returned home, Jefferson was lying on the ground.


    "Jefferson, why are you lying on the floor?" When she could not wake him up, she tried her best to


    drag him back to bed.


    She must have owed him too much in her past life; that was why she had to repay her debt to him in


    this life. He was having a cold and a fever, and yet he could still roll onto the floor.


    Usually, she wouldn''t care if he rolled onto the floor. However, as he was sick this instant, she


    couldn''t leave him there.


    More importantly, he would not go back to his parent''s ce to let his mother take care of him even


    if he was sick. If he didn''t get well soon, the one suffering would be Adrienne.


    It was too bad that the City Hall was closed. Otherwise, she would have dragged him there to sign


    their divorce papers while he was drunk. Then, they could each go their own ways without bothering


    each other.


    Every cell in Adrienne''s body was repelling Jefferson, but she still took good care of him. She fed


    him his medicine, and from time to time, she would check his temperature... By the time his fever


    subsided, it was already dawn.


    Adrienne was so sleepy that she fell asleep beside him.
