Chapter 1768


    When Jefferson went out of his way to be nice to Adrienne, her first reaction was not to thank him,


    but to think that he was ill.


    D*mn it!


    Jefferson wanted to pry her head open to see just what was going on inside her head.


    Usually, he would insult her. However, Britney was there that day, and he had made the decision to


    treat her better. He couldn''t give up halfway. Therefore, the angry Jefferson kept his expression


    neutral and said, "Don''t worry about me, I''m good. Do you want more food? I''ll get some for you."


    "Jeff... I- I can do it by myself." Adrienne stammered out of nervousness because of Jefferson''s


    unusual behavior, for fear that he would y a dirty trick on her in the next second.


    This must be yet another new trick of his, she thought.


    Definitely.


    Otherwise, he would never treat her so well all of a sudden.


    Adrienne looked at Jefferson, searching his eyes for an answer. However, there didn''t seem to be


    anything unusual in his gaze.


    No way!


    Previously, when he came up with new pranks to y on her, his eyes would exude a proud and


    mischievous glint.


    Jefferson was full of wicked ideas. No one could foresee what he woulde up with.


    Adrienne grew more and more scared. It was as if a strong gust of cold wind was blowing behind


    her, making her hair stand on end.


    "Adrienne, eat up before the food gets cold." Britney knew that Jefferson usually mistreated


    Adrienne. This sudden change would definitely be unbelievable to Adrienne, so she stepped in to


    help Adrienne. "Jefferson, eat. Don''t talk too much at the dinner table."


    "All right." In Britney''s presence, Adrienne felt more at ease. She knew that Jefferson couldn''t act


    rashly in front of Britney.


    Jefferson thought to himself, "Mom, you wanted me to take better care of Little Specky, but now


    you''re stopping me. What''s going on?" A woman''s mind was hard to decipher, Jefferson told


    himself. Unfortunately for him, he was destined to get involved with women throughout his life.


    Albert had always been quiet. After he greeted Adrienne, he said nothing more. At that moment,


    Albert couldn''t help but look at his son. It urred to him that not only was Jefferson arrogant, he


    was also ignorant. Didn''t he realize that Adrienne was frightened by him?


    It was indeed true that Jefferson had not noticed Adrienne''s fear. When he misunderstood her


    conduct as not epting his kindness, he red at Adrienne as if warning her that he would teach


    her a lesson when they got home.


    During that meal, Adrienne ate with mixed feelings. In the end, she did not eat much but pretended


    to be full instead.


    Before leaving, Britney took Adrienne''s hand and said, "Adrienne, this is your home. No matter


    when you want toe here, you''ll be wee. Jefferson is back here now. If it is inconvenient for


    you toe on your own, I''ll get him to pick you up."


    Since her parents'' death, Adrienne''s only source of maternal love was from Britney. A sudden


    sadness overwhelmed her and she almost shed tears. "Thank you, Auntie."


    Seeing that she was about to cry, Jefferson pulled Adrienne into his arms and said, "Adrienne, you


    still have work to do. What are you waiting for?"


    Why was Jefferson hugging her oundishly with Britney there? Adrienne squirmed and tried to


    escape from his arms, but he did not intend to let go at all.


    On the other hand, Britney was pleased to see the disy of affection between them. She said,


    "Adrienne, go to work then. Your work is tiring, you can''t even rest well on weekends. Let Jefferson


    drive you to work."


    Adrienne said, "Goodbye, Auntie!"


    Jefferson waved goodbye to Britney. "Mum, go keep old fogeypany."

    Britney watched them leave with a satisfied smile.


    It was not an easy task for Jefferson to get Adrienne back from Britney''s clutches. He whistled in


    delight while driving. Seeing that, Adrienne''s scalp tingled and she subconsciously leaned against


    the window.


    As soon as Jefferson saw her avoiding him like he was a leper, his amiable mood came to an end


    abruptly. He looked at Adrienne discontentedly and said, "Little Specky, you need a f*cking lesson."


    "From your point of view, I need to be taught lessons every day." Adrienne breathed a sigh of relief


    as Jefferson started talking like his normal self.


    Not long after they drove out of the vi area, they arrived at a street filled with restaurants.


    Jefferson parked the car and said, "Get off."


    Adrienne replied in a daze, "Jefferson, we''ve just finished eating. What are we doing here?" He


    brought her there because she hadn''t eaten much. But, he merely said, "I''ll do whatever I want as


    long as it makes me happy."


    Adrienne was speechless.


    Each time, it was always the same answer but she still couldn''t help but ask.


    There was a well-known seafood restaurant there. Jefferson pulled Adrienne to the restaurant. They


    sat down and he ordered shrimp congee. After that, he crossed his legs and went on his phone.


    Adrienne couldn''t hold herself back and asked again, "Don''t you dislike shrimp? Why did you order


    shrimp congee?"


    Jefferson looked at Adrienne stonily again.


    D*mn it.


    Adrienne asked all sorts of dumb questions. Not only did Jefferson not like eating shrimp, he also


    did not like congee. The reason he chose this restaurant was because Adrienne said that she


    wanted to try it previously.


    Sometimes, Jefferson really wanted to bang his head against the wall. Why was he treating her well


    when she only got on his nerves every day?


    Frightened by his cold gaze, Adrienne quickly drank her ss of water.


    After they waited for about half an hour, the congee was served. Jefferson signaled for the waiter to


    fill Adrienne''s bowl; he did not intend to eat it.


    As Adrienne ate the fresh and delicious shrimp congee, she stole a nce at Jefferson. He did


    things capriciously, she thought. He did not eat shrimp, but he foolishly ordered shrimp congee. It


    seemed that she had to eat more.


    Adrienne ate three small bowls of congee, and this time she was really full.


    When she put down her bowl, she belched with satisfaction. After hearing that, Jefferson frowned in


    disgust and asked, "Can''t you be moredylike?"


    Adrienne smiled. "I don''t have to put on an elegant act for you."


    Jefferson had known her since they were babies. She did not have any privacy at all with him. He


    must have never regarded her as a woman. She did not need to care about her image in front of


    him.


    Jefferson often heard Freddy say that women would be willing to dress up for the men they loved.


    If a woman didn''t care about her image in front of a man, it showed that she didn''t regard him as a


    man at all, let alone love him.


    With that thought in mind, Jefferson raised his foot and kicked Adrienne under the table, eximing,


    "Little idiot!"


    Adrienne yelped, "It hurts!"


    "You deserve it!"Jefferson said.


    Adrienne said, "You..."


    Forget it, she couldn''t be bothered to argue with him!
