Chapter 1903


    Adrienne''s voice was still the same as usual; soft, gentle, but imbued with power.


    She finally understood what the marriage certificate meant to them, that Jefferson was her man, and


    he should not get too close to other women.


    Jefferson knew that bit by bit, he was slowly invading Adrienne''s heart.


    His heart suddenly swelled with happiness, like a bright and beautiful flower which was about to


    bloom.


    However, before it could fully bloom, Adrienne''s gentle and seductive voice was heard. "No one


    wants their things to be coveted by others, it''s the same for me too."


    Upon hearing that, the blooming flower bud in Jefferson''s heart wilted immediately. "Little Specky,


    so am I just a ''thing'' to you?"


    Adrienne immediately shook her head. "No, you''re no thing!"


    "What do you mean I''m ''nothing''?" Jefferson asked while raising his eyebrows.


    When she realized that no matter how she exined, it would cause a misunderstanding, she


    panicked. "I''m just making an analogy. I''m not telling you off. Don''t be angry."


    "Little idiot!" Jefferson said while ring at her.


    In order to please Jefferson, Adrienne immediately changed the subject, "Jefferson, do you have


    any requests towards me?"


    Oh, he did have a lot of requests for her.


    In an instant, a n materialized in Jefferson''s mind. "So I''m free to state my request? Will you


    agree to it though?"


    Seeing that his mood might swing anytime, Adrienne did not dare to turn him down. She braced


    herself and nodded, answering, "Of course."


    "Alright, my request is simple. Don''t meet or contact Zelson again in the future," Jefferson said


    bluntly.


    Adrienne felt that his request was simply unreasonable. "Zelson is my mentor and my work partner.


    He''s an experienced pathologist too and I have a lot more to learn from him. How can I not meet or


    contact him?"


    With that trump card in hand, Jefferson insisted on being unreasonable till the end. "How dare you


    use that as an excuse to contact him. Very well, Little Specky!"


    Adrienne said, "It''s not like you don''t understand my line of work. In our field, everyone has their


    own strengths, and it''s not unheard of to ask for advice from other pathologists."


    "So will you be happy if I go and meet Eunice?" Jefferson asked again.


    Adrienne pouted and grunted in an aggrieved manner, "How are those two the same thing? Eunice


    is interested in you, and both of you don''t even work in the same field, but Mr. Zelson and I..."


    "Little idiot, do you really not know that Zelson that guy likes you? Or are you just pretending not to


    know?" Jefferson interrupted her harshly.


    Adrienne answered, "I''m his student, and mind you, his best one at that. Everyone is well aware of


    my performance during the two years I was studying under him, so, of course he likes me.


    Otherwise, do you actually expect him to like you?" At that instant, Jefferson felt like knocking her


    head with a stick. "He''s your mentor, but he''s also a man. His feelings for you have long


    transcended beyond a mentor-mentee rtionship."


    "What do you mean by that?" Adrienne was bewildered. "Then, tell me, how does he feel about


    me?"


    So speechless was Jefferson that he felt like rolling his eyes. He said, "He sees you as a woman,


    just like how Eunice sees me. Do you understand?"


    Adrienne immediately denied, "That''s absurd. Mr. Zelson ispletely different from Eunice."


    Zelson had never asked her out for a date, nor did he order someone to tell her that he liked her.


    He and Eunice operated on a different way.


    Jefferson was so annoyed that his chest began to ache. He thought that Adrienne really was


    hopeless when it came to rtionships. "Little idiot!" He scolded inwardly.


    Looking at how exasperated Jefferson was, Adrienne realized that he wasn''t ying around with


    her so she thought about it seriously.


    Zelson was an indifferent person, and also a man of few words. He never spoke much to her except


    when they were at work, unlike Jefferson who followed her everywhere and thought of ways to bully


    her just because he liked her.


    Zelson had never done anything that Jefferson had done to her.


    In short, Adrienne did not, for the life of her, believe that Zelson liked her romantically.


    Jefferson was speechless.


    That little fool.


    Just as he was about to curse out of anger, Adrienne suddenly thought things through and said, "Mr.


    Hefner, so you often go against Mr. Zelson because you mistook him for liking me?"


    "What do you mean by ''mistook''?" Jefferson was so furious that his eyes widened. He sped into the


    underground parking lot and stopped the car in anger. He opened the door, got off the car, and


    mmed the door shut heavily. Not bothered if Adrienne had gotten off the car, he just turned


    around and left. "Adrienne, you really have nothing between your ears."


    "What?" Jefferson left without taking the car key and locking the car. So, Adrienne quickly took the


    car key with her and trotted after him. "Alright, alright, Mr. Hefner, your verdict is everything, okay?"


    What did she mean by that?


    Why did it sound like he was a tyrant who was acting unreasonably?


    What he said was all facts.


    With that, Jefferson''s anger kicked up a notch. He continued to storm forward, leaving Adrienne far


    behind.


    Seeing that she could not catch up with Jefferson and that he was about to enter the elevator, an


    idea shed through Adrienne''s mind. She pretended to stumble to the ground. "Ah..."


    Before she could recite the lines that she had prepared, Adrienne saw that Jefferson, who was


    partially inside the elevator, turned back and dashed toward her.

    In an instant, Jefferson came to her and hoisted her off her feet, carrying her. "You idiot. How did


    you manage to fall even on a t surface? You''re so going to die because of that stupidity of yours


    one day."


    Despite his vicious words, he could not hide the concern in his eyes.


    All of a sudden, she regretted her small prank. "I''m fine. Don''t worry."


    "Shut up!" Jefferson scolded fiercely, but the way he held her was very gentle, as if he was afraid to


    touch the ce where she was injured.


    "I''m really fine! It''s just a prank. I saw that I couldn''t catch up with you because you were walking too


    fast, so I pretended to fall," Adrienne said softly. Then, she buried her head in his chest and rubbed


    against it gently. "I''m sorry, I shouldn''t have done that."


    Jefferson was at a loss for words.


    Did this little idiot really think that her little trick would be able to fool him?


    Although Jefferson knew that she was pulling a little trick on him, he still could not control himself


    and run towards her, allowing her n to seed. All said and done, it wasn''t Adrienne''s fault in


    the end. Everything happened because he loved her and couldn''t bear to see her suffer even a bit.


    While they were in the elevator, Adrienne raised her head carefully from his chest, peeked at his


    tensed jaw, and said solemnly, "Although there''s nothing between me and Mr. Zelson, since you''re


    unhappy about it, then I''ll try my best to keep a distance from him. If I have no choice but to ask him


    for advice because of work, I will make sure to tell you beforehand, or let youe with me. I''ll


    definitely not cause any unnecessary misunderstandings between Mr. Zelson and I."
