Chapter 1849
"Freya, I''ve told you before." Adrienne hugged Freya''s arms with both hands and said with a smile,
"Jeff told me that he likes me. I didn''t believe it at first, but now I do."
"Yes." Freya nodded. "I know that."
"So I thought, why not marry him?" Adrienne added, "Marrying a man you know well is much better
than marrying a stranger."
After listening to Adrienne''s words, Freya finally understood why Jefferson was upset. If she were in
his shoes, and Adrienne wanted to marry him for this reason, she would feel distraught, too.
"Adrienne, is that how you really feel?"
Adrienne asked in confusion, "Is there anything wrong with that, Freya?"
"You silly girl!" Freya couldn''t help but poke Adrienne''s forehead. "Don''t you have any other feelings
for Jefferson? You want to marry him, but do you like him even a tiny bit?"
"Other feelings? Do you mean whether I like him? I suppose I do." As long as he treated her well
and didn''t go crazy for no reason, she still felt very happy and safe. That must be what Freya meant
by like1.
"Adrienne, let me correct myself. Do you love him?" Freya looked at Adrienne and added slowly,
"Do you want to marry him because you love him?"
"Do I want to marry him because I love him? I''m not sure." Adrienne couldn''t really exin it. She
relied on Jefferson and was used to having him around. She felt uneasy sometimes when he wasn''t
around.
As for what it was like to love someone, she had never seriously thought about it, nor had she loved
anyone romantically before.
But if she had to choose someone to love for the rest of her life, she felt like Jefferson was a good
choice. She would try her best to love him. After all, he was willing to give up his life for her.
"Adrienne, keep this between us, okay? Don''t tell Jefferson." Freya patted her on the shoulder.
"When you get back, you should think properly about how you feel about him."

"Freya, let''s leave this behind and eat first." Adrienne rubbed her stomach and whined, "I haven''t
eaten the whole day. My stomach is rumbling, and I just want to eat more of your food here."
"Alright, you can head back in first. I will ask them to serve the food," Freya said as they both turned
around. Unexpectedly, they were met with the sight of Jefferson. He was leaning against the wall,
his deep gaze fixated on Adrienne.
From his expression, Freya could tell that he had overheard their conversation. She suddenly felt an
overwhelming feeling of guilt. "Jefferson, I..."
"Everyone is waiting. Ask them to serve the food," Jefferson interrupted Freya and said with a t
tone. He then went back into the private room and did not look at Adrienne again.
Just as Adrienne was about to go in, Freya stopped her. "Adrienne, Jefferson just heard our
conversation."
"I know," Adrienne said matter-of-factly.
Freya held her aching head. "You know... and you''re not worried at all?"
Adrienne was dumbfounded once again. "Why should I be worried?"
"Aren''t you worried that Jefferson will be angry?"
"Freya, you know him well." Adrienne exined, "He gets angry 300 days out of 365 days a year. I''d
be more worried if he wasn''t mad."
Freya massaged her throbbing temples. She suddenly didn''t want to talk to Adrienne anymore. In
fact, she didn''t want to talk to her for the rest of their lives. "Go ahead then. I''ll have the waiters
serve the dishes."
Adrienne entered the private room after that. Freya looked in the direction in which her figure
disappeared and shook her head helplessly. "You clueless little girl, you will really torture Jefferson
to death."
The atmosphere in the private room was very lively.
Tommy took the initiative to speak. "I''ve just calcted, and there are only 20 days left until Freddy
and Freya''s wedding. How are the preparations going? Aren''t you guys going to take a few days
off?"
Freddy replied, "Everything is ready. All that''s left to do is to marry my love."
Bruce chimed in, "Congrattions, Freddy! Congrattions on leaving the bachelor life."
Freddy chuckled and answered, "I hope you two can leave the bachelor life behind too, especially
Tommy and Bruce. Hopefully, you will both meet the girl you would want to spend the rest of your
lives with."
Jefferson, who typically never joined in their chats, suddenly uttered, "Have you guys lost your sight
and hearing? Do you guys not notice my presence?"
The others smiled and said, "Jefferson, you''re already in a rtionship. You don''t need our
blessings to leave the bachelor life."
"Hey, I might be a bachelor. It''s hard to say if I''m taken or not," said Jefferson with a clipped tone.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone turned their eyes to Adrienne. However, Adrienne was
drinking her tea silently. It seemed like she hadn''t been paying any attention to what they were
talking about.
"If you wanted to, I''m sure you could have a girl on each arm." Tommy was desperately trying to
trigger Adrienne''s attention. If Adrienne had feelings for Jefferson, she would definitely be offended
by his words. However, Adrienne still did not answer. She was too absorbed in her aromatic tea.
"A girl on each arm? That sounds nice, I''m just afraid my stamina can''t keep up." It was strange.
Although Jefferson had overheard Freya and Adrienne''s conversation, he was still acting pretty
normally. No, not normal. In fact, he was acting overly friendly. He was being so chummy with the
others. This wasn''t like his arrogant self at all.
At this moment, all the dishes had been served, and Freya took her seat.
When she saw that Jefferson wasn''t throwing a tantrum, she thought that perhaps he had changed.
Hence, she asked everyone to dig in. "I personally made these two dishes to entertain my most
honorable friends."
"Our greatest gratitude to the beautiful, generous, and considerate Mrs. Yaleman!" Everyone here
knew each other so well that all five of them spoke almost the same time.
"Oh, don''t call me that. It sounds so nauseating. I can''t stand you guys." Freya was a very easy-
going person. When she thought of how she was going to spend the rest of her life with the man
she loved, she started blushing like a shy little girl.
Tommy raised his ss of wine and said, "Friends, ever since we graduated, we have all gotten
different jobs. Everyone is busy, and it''s rare for all of us to get together. So I want to take this
opportunity to propose a toast. I wish Freddy and Freya a happy marriage! And I wish for all of us to
be blessed with our own love soon!"
After that, Tommy nced at Adrienne, who quickly raised her cup.
Everyone else followed suit, including Jefferson.
