Chapter 1852


    Jefferson wished he could shut her up and make her apany him. But when he saw her naive


    look, he simply couldn''t bear to do it. He sighed, "I wonder what sins I havemitted in my past


    life."


    "Sins?" Adrienne could not disagree more with Jefferson''s sigh. "If a sinner can be born into such a


    family, then I need tomit more sins."


    "You little idiot!" Jefferson stared at her and poked her on the forehead. "If you don''t want to walk,


    let''s just go home. There are still plenty of things to do waiting for us tomorrow."


    "Yes, I''m going back to work tomorrow. You should stay at home and stop running about. It''s


    worrisome." Adrienne sighed heavily when she thought of Jefferson''s busy lifestyle.


    However, Jefferson disagreed. He immediately retorted, "Me? Running about? Little Specky, can


    you tell me with your good conscience, which of us is more worrying than the other?"


    "Fine, I make you worry every day. Can you please get in the car and fasten your seat


    belt? I''m going to take us home." What could she do? He was such a petty man. Couldn''t he give in


    just for once?


    They bickered continuously while on the way home, hence time flew by quickly. Soon, they arrived


    home.


    After returning home, Adrienne hurriedly said, "Jefferson, go and wash up. I''ll help you change your


    wound dressing."


    Jefferson smiled coyly and said, "My hand hurts, please wash my body for me."


    Adrienne gave him a look. "Don''t even think about it. Do it yourself, or I won''t redress your wounds."


    "You''re so cruel." Jefferson reluctantly went to the bathroom alone. It didn''t take long for him to


    come out. As expected, he came out stark naked.


    Though Adrienne was already used to his perverted manner, she still couldn''t help but blush upon


    seeing him naked. She didn''t know if she was red from embarrassment or from anger.


    Meanwhile, Jefferson did not feel self-conscious at all. He sat down on the bed and waved to her,


    saying, "Come here and change the bandage for me."


    Adrienne did not dare to look at him. She turned her back to him and said, "Put on your clothes."


    "You''ll have to take it off, anyway. Don''t you think that would be too troublesome? I do," Jefferson


    spoke brazenly.


    "You''re not going to get dressed, are you?" Adrienne threw the medicine to him. "Do it yourself


    then."


    "Little Specky, you''ve be bolder and boldertely. Do you really think I wouldn''t dare to do


    anything to you?" He threatened her fiercely. If she didn''te over to his side, he was ready to


    pick her up and give her a good beating.


    Adrienne ignored him and turned to leave.


    As soon as she became tough, Jefferson could only give in. "Okay, okay. I''ll get dressed."


    He picked up his bathrobe and loosely put it on. "Is this okay?"


    Adrienne nced back at him and quickly turned away. "Put on your underwear."

    "It''s not like you haven''t seen it before. Don''t y dumb." Although he was dissatisfied with her


    behavior, he still listened to her and put his underwear on. Then he said, "Anything else you''re not


    satisfied with?"


    Adrienne finally came over. She took the medicine and helped him rewrap his bandages. But as she


    was doing it, she could feel something was wrong. She immediately stood up and retreated,


    grumbling, "Pervert, change it yourself."


    "You can''t me me for my physiological reaction, can you?" Jefferson felt wronged, but that little


    idiot had already run out. Heined in a low voice, "It''s all your fault for being so attractive."


    What''s worse was that Adrienne did not return to the master bedroom to sleep. Instead, she went to


    hide in the guest room and even locked the door.


    As the door was sturdy, Jefferson couldn''t kick it open no matter how he tried. He furiously decided


    that he would demolish the guest room the next day. "Let''s see how she will avoid me then!"


    Without Jefferson''s pestering, Adrienne had a really good sleep. Jefferson, on the other hand, got


    no sleep at all.


    The next morning, Adrienne ran into him as soon as she exited the room. At the sight of the heavy


    dark circles under his eyes, she couldn''t help butugh. "What were you up tost night?"


    "Little Specky, I dare you tough again." Jefferson red at her fiercely.


    Adrienne tried to hold back herughter and deliberately avoided him. "I''ll go and get breakfast


    ready for you. I am going to work after breakfast. As for you, have a good rest at home."


    "Are you trying to poison me again?" asked Jefferson unhappily.


    Adrienne shrugged helplessly and replied, "Okay, I won''t cook. I''ll get you a takeout."


    Jefferson was speechless.


    He was so angry that he gritted his teeth.


    No new cases had happened in the past two days, but everyone was still busy looking for clues


    about the dismembered corpses case.


    As soon as Adrienne arrived at the detachment, she started work. Her colleague from the same


    department, Lte, came over mysteriously and said, "Adrienne, you haven''te to work for two


    days. I''m assuming you don''t know what happened here?"


    "What happened?" Adrienne asked while continuing to do her work.


    "I heard that Sergeant Scott stepped down from his position."


    "Stepped down? What do you mean?"


    Lte looked over to the door to make sure that no one was around before continuing. "The


    captain position of the Paramount Criminal Police Team will be taken over by someone else.


    Sergeant Scott is going to be an assistant to the new captain."


    "Oh..." Adrienne took a long time to digest this news. "How... how is this possible? Sergeant Scott is


    doing such a good job, why would he suddenly be reced? What is going on?"


    "I heard that it was Sergeant Scott himself who applied for the change. He requested the superiors


    to assign someone more capable, while he would remain as an assistant."


    Adrienne eximed, "But why?"


    Lte moved in closer to Adrienne and whispered, "I guess you haven''t heard since you haven''t


    been to work. The other day during a meeting, someone from the identification department talked


    back to Sergeant Scott in front of everyone. She called him useless... In a fit of rage, Sergeant Scott


    went to request the superiors to let him step down so that someone more capable could take on the


    job."


    "Hmm..." Adrienne didn''t feel like Quill was that impulsive. He would not have asked to be demoted


    just because he had a conflict with one of his colleagues. However, why had he done so then?


    She couldn''t figure it out. She looked at Lte, who then added, "Maybe he wants to show


    everyone that the newly- recruited captain will not be as good as him. He wants to prove that he is


    more suited to be captain."


    Adrienne shook her head andmented, "No, I don''t think so."


    Lte didn''t understand. "Why not?"


    "I just don''t think that''s his reason." Quill was an experienced criminal police officer. He had done a


    good job in the field, and he loved this job.


    If he willingly gave up his position, it was more likely that the case on hand was too tough for him to


    solve. He couldn''t solve it, and he didn''t want to dy it either, so he had no choice but to let the


    superiors allocate someone better than him over. Nheless, who in Chatterton Town could be


    better at this job than Quill?
