Chapter 1881
On their way home, Jefferson drove slowly and steadily because Adrienne had fallen asleep. He
wanted Adrienne to have a good sleep and catch back on all the sleep that she had lost.
When the car arrived at the parking lot, Jefferson''s cell phone suddenly rang. He immediately
answered the phone and whispered, "My Queen, is there anything I can do for you?"
Britney''s explosive voice sounded from the phone, "You little brat, what are you doing these days?
Why didn''t you guys eat the food I sent you yesterday? If you think that they''re not delicious, you
should have told me earlier. I''m not that free to send you guys food now and then."
The night before, they received a new case before they got off work. They weren''t able to go home
for a day and a night. Hence, they couldn''t eat what Britney had prepared for them. However,
Britney didn''t know that so she called to question them.
Jefferson did not intend to exin, either. He said softly, "My Queen, my baby is asleep now. Let''s
talkter, okay? I don''t want to wake her up."
My baby?
Britney was stunned at first but realized who Jefferson was talking about. She immediatelyughed
andmented, "Adrienne is asleep? Alright, lower the volume of your cell phone so that you don''t
wake her up."
Was there a need for her to say that?
Jefferson rolled his eyes, but did not dare to say it out loud.
Britney, at the other end of the phone, changed her attitude greatly. She added, "Jefferson, I''ve
brought you both food again. I''ve put them on the dining table. You two can eat them immediately
after getting home. Remember to ask Adrienne to eat more and gain more weight. She''s so thin. I
just can''t help but worry whenever I see her."
"Alright," Jefferson replied softly.

In fact, that was what Jefferson wanted, too. But Adrienne was born with a fast metabolism. No
matter how much she ate, she just couldn''t gain any weight. He was nothing he could either.
Britney was worried that she might wake Adrienne up so she mumbled in a low voice, "I''ll leave you
two alone then. I''m heading home now."
Before Jefferson could say anything, Britney had already hung up the phone.
That was as expected of her!
Jefferson turned his head to the side and looked
at Adrienne, who was lying in the front passenger
seat, sleeping like a log.
He reached out to flick
her delicate and fair face and mocked, "You little idiot. You really are likable, huh? Even My Queen,
a picky middle-aged woman, is so fond of you." "Stop it..." Adrienne raised her hand and pped
his hand away. Then, she turned over and continued to sleep.
"You!" To be honest, after Mr. and Mrs. Carter''s death, Adrienne rarely had a good sleep and she
would often be awakened by nightmares. It seemed that she was indeed ovee with fatigue that
day to be able to fall asleep so soundly in the car.
Jefferson could not bear to disturb her any longer. He gently opened the door, got out of the car,
went to the door to the front passenger seat, and then gently carried her in his arms. He brought
Adrienne back to their house in the manliest way possible.
Adrienne was not a petite woman. She was about 1.68m. Nevertheless, when Jefferson was
holding her in his arms, he couldn''t feel much weight. It was as if he was holding a doll.
Jefferson thought that he must find a way to make Adrienne gain some weight. He didn''t want
Hodge to think that he had treated her granddaughter poorly.
Adrienne was really a girl that would test Jefferson''s limits at all times. When he held her, she buried
her head in his arms and then continued to sleep again.
Her action made Jefferson''s heart flutter so much that he could no longer control himself. He swore
not to touch her, but in the end, he folded. He had always been a man of action. He didn''t care
whether he was in the elevator or whether people would see them. He lowered his head and looked
for Adrienne''s lips.
Sure enough, Adrienne''s lips still tasted so sweet that he wanted to kiss them for the rest of his life if
he could. He didn''t want to stop even half a second...
When Jefferson was enjoying his little dessert, the elevator arrived on the first floor, and two middle-
aged women came into the elevator. Their eyes fell on Jefferson and Adrienne, but Jefferson still
didn''t stop.
This showed how eager he was to kiss Adrienne.
He didn''t care much about the two women who were staring at them, so one of them spoke, "This is
a public area. Some people should pay more attention to their behavior."
Upon hearing that, Jefferson gently pushed Adrienne''s head into his embrace and turned his head
to look at the middle- aged woman who made thement. He didn''t say a word but with just a
cold re. The woman was so afraid that she immediately stepped back to the corner of the
elevator. If the elevator had a crack, the woman would probably escape through the crack at that
instant.
Just when the middle-aged woman was shivering with fear, Jefferson took out an ess card and
pressed the elevator button. Soon, the elevator rang, and the two women rushed out in fear.
After the elevator door had closed, Jefferson returned his gaze to Adrienne, and the look in his eyes
became gentle in an instant. He bowed his head and kissed her on the forehead. "My Little Specky
really is the cutest."
After returning home, Jeffersonid Adrienne on the bed. He took off her shoes and coat and
covered her with the quilt. Then, he went to the bathroom and wet a towel with warm water before
squeezing it dry. After that, with the warm towel, he wiped her face and hands clean.
Jefferson nagged as he helped Adrienne freshen up, "I must''ve owed you a lot in myst life. You
always say that I am the boss, but look, who is the true boss here? I don''t even see you taking care
of me like this before. I''ve never done these things in my entire life, so you''d better treat me nicely,
or I''ll have your guts for garter."
After doing all that, Jefferson went to the dining room to check out the food that Britney had brought
over. The food was all stored in thermal containers. When he opened the lid, he noticed that the
soup was still steaming hot. He could even smell the fragrance of the other dishes.
Britney really was considerate. When she came to send the dishes, she did not forget to take away
the food that she sent the day before as well as help them clean up the kitchen and dining room.
Jefferson opened the refrigerator and saw that Britney had also filled up the empty refrigerator. It
was now full of vegetables and some soy-based products. They could simply cook some dishes
with those ingredients whenever they were hungry.
Jefferson knew the nature of Adrienne''s work well, so he would never store any frozen meats in the
refrigerator. He didn''t expect that Britney remembered that too. It seemed that she truly loved
Adrienne as her own daughter.
Even though he would always say that Britney was biased toward Adrienne and repeatedly
reminded Britney that he was her biological son, he was actually delighted that Britney loved and
cared about Adrienne that much.
After checking on those things, Jefferson went to take a bath. He thought Adrienne would''ve woken
up after he had finished his shower, then they could have dinner together. He even thought that they
could perhaps do something that he had been wanting to do with her.
Nheless, Jefferson never expected that Adrienne would be sleeping so soundly that she wasn''t
showing any signs of waking up. Jeffersonid beside her and couldn''t sleep after tossing and
turning on the bed. He was tempted to wake her up, but he gave up as soon as he saw the dark
circles under her eyes.
Jefferson told him himself, "Just hold it in. It''s not like I''ve never done that before. But I''ll definitely
make her pay for it ten times in the future for making me suffer like this."
