Chapter 1777


    Adrienne moved to the right awkwardly. Jefferson shot daggers at her and warned her in a


    dangerous tone, "Little Specky, don''t you dare move again."


    "We haven''t seen each other for a long time, Jefferson!" Since Jefferson stepped into the room, he


    had never looked at Eunice. He had never intended to take the initiative to talk to her. Thus, she


    had to talk to him first.


    Jefferson''s eyes fell on her, but as soon as he spoke, he made everyone present speechless.


    "Eunice, don''t call me as you like from now on. I''m not rted to you and I don''t have time to deal


    with you."


    Jefferson had always been like this and he had never spoken nicely to anyone except for Adrienne.


    Everyone was used to it and did not think that he was mean. But, Eunice was still so embarrassed


    that her face fell.


    Adrienne noticed it and secretly nudged him. She didn''t know if Jefferson did not understand, but he


    red at Adrienne and grunted, "If you have something to say, say it. Why did you hit me?"


    Adrienne was dumbfounded.


    Eunice''s smile faltered further.


    The atmosphere of the gathering turned tense because of Jefferson''s attitude.


    Soon, the waiter knocked on the door and came in. One after another, the dishes were served.


    When everyone was trying to ease the atmosphere, Jefferson ordered again, "Serve the soup first


    and give her a bowl of it."


    Sure enough, he was referring to Adrienne.


    Jefferson not only told the waiter to fill Adrienne''s bowl with soup, but also put Adrienne''s favorite


    dishes in front of her.


    Adrienne was often taken care of by Jefferson. She just epted his help naturally and did not feel


    anything wrong about it.


    These small details were unsightly for Eunice. She tried so hard to have Jefferson, but she couldn''t


    even get near him.


    As for Adrienne, she had never worked for it but she could get all his attention and care.


    All these years, Eunice had been thinking about the reason.


    After thinking about it for so many years, she still couldn''t understand why.


    Adrienne was slightly younger than them, that''s all. What was the difference between her and


    Adrienne other than age?


    There were many doubts that Eunice couldn''t figure out, but she tried to keep her emotions in


    check. Since Jefferson put the dishes that Adrienne liked in front of her, she helped serve the food.


    "Adrienne, you are so thin. You should eat more meat."


    She put a piece of pork onto Adrienne''s te, but Adrienne could not eat it. After she performed an


    autopsy, it was repelling for her to eat meat. Among these people, Jefferson was the only one who


    knew it.


    Since Adrienne did not know how to refuse, Jefferson reached out his arms and snatched


    Adrienne''s te away. He handed it to a waiter who just came in and ordered, "She doesn''t eat


    meat, give her another te."


    Adrienne didn''t eat meat?


    As soon as Jefferson''s words were spoken, the others'' gaze was focused on Adrienne. Tommy


    spoke without a second thought, "Adrienne, when did you stop eating meat?"


    They grew up together. How could they not know that Adrienne did not eat meat?


    "Sorry! I''m going to the bathroom." Eunice tried to smile but she still couldn''t hide the tears in her


    eyes. She got up and hurriedly left.


    As soon as Eunice left, the rest of them turned to Jefferson. Although they dared not scold him, their


    eyes were full of me as they stared at him.


    "Jefferson, Eunice just returned today. Can''t you be more polite to her? You almost made her cry."


    Adrienne looked at him disapprovingly, then left for the bathroom.


    "I..." Adrienne angered Jefferson. Thus, he could only vent his anger on the others. "Tell me


    truthfully, did I say something wrong?"


    Freya hesitated for a moment and felt that she should voice out her opinion. "Jefferson, we know


    that you have eyes for Adrienne only and there is no room for Eunice at all. But, can you turn her


    down in another way?"

    Hearing what Freya said, Jefferson nodded and agreed, "Okay, then I''ll tell her directly that I don''t


    like her. I''ll tell her not to use Little Specky to ask me out."


    The other four raised their hands and rubbed their temples.


    Oh my, there was such a man in this world. No wonder he couldn''t win the girl he adored. They all


    had the same thought.


    When Jefferson saw that the others were silent, he added discontentedly, "This won''t work either?


    Then, what do you want me to do?"


    The other three men turned their eyes to Freya again and let her be the representative. Freya had


    no choice but to say, "Jefferson, you''d better not turn her down in front of us. Why don''t you find


    another time to meet Eunice alone and have a good talk with her?"


    "Talk? What is there to talk about with her? I''ve told her before that I won''t like her... But, she said


    that it doesn''t matter whether I like her or not, and I can''t deprive her of her right to like me. It''s her


    freedom to like someone." Back then, Jefferson was furious about this. It was also because of that


    that he never met Eunice alone again.


    Freya asked, "Jefferson, does Adrienne like you?"


    "Of course..." As soon as Jefferson said it, he gradually became less confident. To be honest, he


    didn''t know what kind of feelings Adrienne had for him.


    "Jefferson, Adrienne must have also rejected you before..." Freya continued. Seeing that Jefferson''s


    facial expression did not change, Freya took a deep breath quietly. She mustered the courage to


    carry on the sentence, "You have not given up, either. Instead, you follow her around every day.


    Wherever she is, you will be there."


    "Bullsh*t! What''s the rtionship between Adrienne and me? What''s the rtionship between


    Eunice and me? They are not the same." Jefferson felt a little guilty. Was he in Adrienne''s eyes the


    same as him in Eunice''s eyes? Was he annoying?


    Tommy chimed in, "We all grew up together." After he said that, he felt a cold gazending on him.


    He quickly stated further, "But we all know that you and Adrienne are the closest. You even helped


    her change her diaper when she was a child."


    "I''ve lost my appetite because of your words. I don''t want to eat anymore!" Jefferson felt slightly


    nervous. As soon as he put down his cutlery, he got up and walked to the bathroom. He didn''t


    intend to eavesdrop, but he stopped outside the women''s restroom .


    The door of the women''s restroom was not tightly closed and the conversation inside reached the


    ears of Jefferson.


    Eunice was asking, "Adrienne, you don''t like Jefferson and you hate him for bothering you all the


    time, right?"


    "I..." Adrienne didn''t expect that Eunice would say that. Before she could speak, Eunice cried out,


    "Adrienne, I like Jefferson. I have always liked him. I have liked him for many years, but he is


    unwilling to talk to me. Can you let him know on my behalf?"
