Chapter 1760


    "Knock, knock-"


    "Little Specky, are you swimming inside the bathroom?" Adrienne was not yet done washing herself


    up, but Jefferson was already knocking on the door and yelling. He really was a pain in the a*s.


    "Why don''t youe in and swim on your own?" Adrienne itched to reply that to him, but she


    attempted to control her temper. "I will be done soon," she answered.


    Jefferson leaned against the door and said, "Little Specky, I had a sudden thought."


    "What''s the matter?" Adrienne put on her bathrobe, opened the door, and went out. She got a towel


    to dry her hair. As she was not wearing her spectacles, she looked at him a little dopily, which


    appeared quite endearing to Jefferson.


    He averted his gaze reluctantly and asked, "If I hadn''te earlier on, would you have gotten a


    room with Zelson?"


    Jefferson had not forgotten Zelson''s sly gaze when he was looking at Adrienne. D*mn, if he had not


    arrived in time, who knows what Zelson would have done, Jefferson thought.


    "Yes." Adrienne nodded honestly. She had agreed to Zelson''s suggestion to stay together at a hotel


    earlier on. If Jefferson had note, the one apanying her at this moment would certainly be


    Zelson.


    Earlier on, Jefferson had taken her away. She wondered how Zelson was doing at this instant.


    Adrienne decided to call Zelsonter.


    Jefferson raised his tone and questioned, "Adrienne, do you f*cking know what your''re saying?"


    "What''s wrong with you now?" Adrienne asked. She didn''t know what she had done to provoke him


    and get him so enraged again. This man really liked making mountains out of molehills, she


    thought.


    Jefferson had just been thinking that Adrienne was pretty, but at this instant, he could only see an


    idiot. He asked, "Do you know that you''re a married woman?"


    Adrienne asked, "Jefferson, can you stop being unreasonable and talk about it civilly?"

    "I''m being unreasonable? How can you, an idiot, criticize me while you were fully prepared to share


    a room with another man behind my back?"


    "What''s wrong with that? We would have been sleeping on separate beds," Adrienne answered.


    She was so infuriated, but in order not to egg him on, she tried to exin to him, "Jefferson, can you


    stop being so dirty-minded? Zelson is not only my superior, but he''s also the mentor who lead me


    into this field. He is an honest man, unlike you."


    "Unlike me?" These two words were like a fuse which blew up Jefferson instantly. "Would you


    believe me if I said I''d kill you now?"


    "Jefferson, go take a leak and look at yourself and thenpare yourself with Mr. Zelson. Isn''t he a


    better person than you? Isn''t he more honest than you? Isn''t he more trustable than you?" Adrienne


    had a lot to say in reply but she did not dare to voice it out because she knew Jefferson too well. If


    she said these words to him, he would definitely kill her.


    For the sake of keeping the peace, Adrienne continued dodging the topic. "Whatever, I''m going to


    bed."


    "We''re not done yet. Who allowed you to go to bed?" Jefferson argued. "I told you that Zelson was


    not a good person. Are you turning a blind ear to my words?"


    Jefferson was ticking Adrienne off so much that she started to get a little mean. She retorted, "Yeah,


    yeah. Zelson is not a good person, neither is anyone else. You''re the only good person in the world.


    Are you satisfied now?"


    Jefferson replied, "No."


    "Then what else do you want?" Adrienne asked. She had endured him again and again, but she


    really couldn''t endure it anymore. "In your eyes, I''m only an idiot. I''m not a good person either. So


    why don''t you stay away from me? Am I the one who caused us to hate each other like this?"


    Hate each other!


    Jefferson knew that Adrienne was unhappy about their rtionship. However, when she said that


    they hated each other, he still felt a stabbing, inexpressible pain in his heart.


    Every time at such a moment, he wanted dearly to finish off this woman who made him feel pain.


    However, he couldn''t f*cking bear to hurt her, so he mmed the door and left every time. This time


    was no different.


    As soon as he shut the door and looked up, he saw another person who he wanted dearly to beat


    up.


    The man was standing at the door of the room next to his. The door had the number te ''8816'' on


    it. Jefferson nearly blew his top. "You''re really haunting me," he voiced.


    Zelson was just done taking a bath and he was wearing a white bathrobe. He had opened the door


    because the hair dryer in the room was broken; he was waiting for an attendant to send a new one


    to him. He was also surprised to see Jefferson appearing at the door beside his. However, he did


    not intend to pay attention to Jefferson.


    He threw an indifferent nce at Jefferson and was about to go back into his room.


    Jefferson took a long stride forward and walked to Zelson in two steps to stop him from closing the


    door. "Zelson, I think you should change your working environment," Jefferson said.


    Zelson smiled. His tone was polite but he barely concealed his disdain. "What are you worried


    about, Mr. Hefner? Are you worried that Adrienne will leave you? Are you worried that Adrienne will


    not like you at all? Or are you worried that Adrienne loves me?"


    Zelson''s words were so annoying that Jefferson really had the urge to tear him apart. He retorted,


    "Keep dreaming! Do you think you can attract Little Specky''s affection with your sanctimonious


    appearance?"


    Zelson asked again, "In that case, what do you need to worry about, Mr. Hefner?"


    Jefferson fell silent.


    Once again, he was shut down by Zelson''s rebuttal.


    Zelson went on to criticize him, "Jefferson, I can tell you quite responsibly that if you continue to


    treat Adrienne in your so-called good manner, not only will you not be closer to her, but you will only


    push her farther and farther away from you. She is a human being with her own feelings and


    thoughts. She is not your possession. But you, Mr. Jefferson, you don''t understand this key point at


    all."


    "I don''t understand?" Jefferson sneered. "Zenson, how long have you known Adrienne? Do you


    know how long I have known her? Don''t think that just because you parade and preen around, you


    know our rtionship well. She is my woman and also the person I protect. I will kill whoever has


    evil intentions towards her."


    Jefferson definitely understood that Adrienne was a human being with her own feelings and


    thoughts. It was because he knew her too well that he treated her in his own way.


    That night, she saw another murder at the ce her parents were killed. Many had not seen how


    terrified she was, but he had seen it. If he didn''t think of a way to distract her, if nothing else


    unexpected happened, she would have nightmares again that night.


    It was not that Jefferson did not want to tell Adrienne that he loved her. He did not marry her for fun;


    he sincerely wanted to take good care of her for the rest of his life as her husband. However,


    Adrienne, that little idiot, did not believe it at all.


    Since she didn''t believe it at present, then he would wait. Jefferson had faith that she would be


    enlightened and understand him one day. He knew that it might be a very long process, but no


    matter how long it was, even if it was a lifetime, he was willing to wait for her.


    It would be that way unless she told him personally that she did not need his love or his protection


    even after she understood his feelings for her.
