Chapter 1918


    She Only Wanted Jefferson


    Adrienne was a medical student. There were certain things that she couldn''t understand at the time,


    but she came to a realization after poring over the matter. After knowing the truth, she could have


    proposed a divorce, but she didn''t.


    Adrienne said resolutely, "If I were given the chance to go back in time, I would still make the same


    choice without a slight hesitance."


    Zelson was so shocked by her words that he remained dumbstruck for a long while. After he pulled


    himself together, he asked, "Adrienne, do you really want a loveless marriage?"


    "Who said that it''s a loveless marriage? He loves me, and I love him too. That alone is enough,"


    Adrienne blurted out without a second thought. It was then that she understood what the missing


    factor was, the answer that was buried deep in her heart.


    Yes, Adrienne loved Jefferson, that was why she was still willing to go along with his scheme and


    marry him.


    The reason she dared to drink unscrupulously and let down her guard in front of Jefferson, was


    because she loved him. Furthermore, she knew that even if she was drunk, she was willing to let


    him do anything to her.


    She even liked it when he did that.


    "You love him?" Zelson shook his head over and over again, as if he had heard something


    unbelievable. "No, what you felt for him is not love. It''s a dependency towards him that you''ve


    developed since you were a child. Adrienne, I can give you a shoulder to lean on as well, just like


    he did."


    "No, you can''t." Hearing what Zelson had to say, Adrienne suddenly smiled brightly. "Mr. Zelson,


    thank you for helping me realize that I really do love Jefferson. This morning, he asked me whether I


    loved him. I was not sure then, as I thought that I could do to others the same things I do to him."


    Just then, Zelson''s confession enlightened her to the fact that she only loved Jefferson. "Thanks to


    you, Mr. Zelson, I now understand that I don''t want any other man or any other shoulder to lean on


    other than Jefferson''s."


    That morning, Jefferson had asked her if she loved him.


    At that time, Adrienne did not quite grasp it. She even thought that if the other party was as


    goodlooking as Jefferson, she would have acted the same way she did towards him. However, right


    then, she knew very well that there was no room for any other man in her heart.


    The reason Adrienne sneakily kissed him when he was sleeping that morning was because she


    loved him. She did it because she was following her heart.


    All of a sudden, Adrienne longed to see Jefferson and tell him loudly that she loved him, she loved


    him very much.


    "Adrienne, I acknowledge that Jefferson has his own merits, but could you give me a chance?" Out


    of nowhere, Zelson grabbed Adrienne''s hand excitedly. "Adrienne,e with me. I know you don''t


    love me, bute with me. Let''s go to a ce where no one knows us and start over again."


    Adrienne drew her hand back forcefully. After reaching an understanding of her feelings, she


    became particrly calm. "Mr. Zelson, I''m a married woman, and I love my husband very much. I


    will not leave him for anyone. As my mentor, I respect you, so please respect me too. Please don''t


    say this to a married woman again."


    "You always listened to me, so why won''t you listen to me again this time?” Zelson understood that


    his request was excessive, but only in that way could he help her.


    "I listened to you in the past because you were right. But, confessing to a married woman is


    extremely unreasonable. Thus, I apologize as I can only decline." Adrienne was far behind when it


    came to emotions, but once she thought it through, she would only ept one man to love for life.


    She couldn''t tolerate anyone other than Jefferson, and she believed that it was the same for


    Jefferson too. "I''m sorry! I''ll be leaving now."


    If Jefferson knew that Zelson asked her out that day to confess his love for her, he would definitely


    go into a rage. When she thought of that, Adrienne thought that Jefferson could be quite adorable at


    times.


    "Adrienne, please listen to me one more time." Seeing that Adrienne was about to leave, Zelson


    immediately stood up and grabbed her. Adrienne struggled to break free, but she was too weak


    compared to Zelson, and it was a futile effort.


    Seeing Zelson holding her hand, a feeling of disgust spiked in Adrienne all of a sudden. However,


    she knew that she couldn''t deal with it by force, so she said coldly, "My husband is waiting for me


    outside, and I don''t want him to misunderstand. Mr. Zelson, please let go of me."


    Adrienne was speaking that politely because she still valued their rtionship as mentor and


    student, but her tone was cold. She even brought up Jefferson, who couldn''t possibly be there. It


    unsettled Zelson.


    Just as Adrienne finished speaking, Jefferson suddenly appeared, even when she did not expect


    him to. He looked like he was at ease, but his gaze was piercing as he asked, "Dr. Jacob, do you


    want to lose the ability to hold a scalpel forever?"


    Zelson was not afraid of Jefferson''s threat, but he didn''t want Adrienne to think badly of him, so he


    let go of her.


    Jefferson approached and took out a piece of wet wipe. He took Adrienne''s hand and wiped it


    thoroughly. "Don''t touch such filth in the future."


    "Okay." Adrienne wondered whether her brain was functioning properly. How could she just nod?


    Wasn''t she indirectly admitting that Zelson was ''filth'' by doing that?


    Only then did Jefferson turn his head towards Zelson slowly. "Dr. Jacob, did you study for so many


    years only to end up brainless? Don''t you know that pestering a married woman won''t bring you any


    good?"


    Zelson did not answer.


    Zelson always had a stoic face, but that time, his face was livid to an extreme.

    "Don''t ever show up in front of me again, and don''t even think about harassing my wife! I will show


    you no mercy if you do it again." With those harsh words, Jefferson wrapped his arm around


    Adrienne''s waist and made a graceful exit.


    Zelson looked at their retreating figures with a convulsing heart. He was in so much pain that he


    broke out into a cold sweat.


    He had waited for two years for Adrienne to understand what love was all about.


    Right then, Adrienne finally understood it, but what she understood was her love towards Jefferson


    instead of him.


    In reality, Zelson already knew that Jefferson was different from other men to Adrienne. He had


    hidden his feelings very well the whole time. He originally nned to watch over her from afar and


    love her one- sidedly, even if it meant that she would go her whole life not knowing about his


    feelings for her.


    However, the day before, Zelson had learned about a certain thing... Therefore, he was raring to get


    Adrienne out of that mess and take her away. He didn''t want to see her get hurt again.


    But in the end, she didn''t love him. No matter what he said, she would not follow him.


    Zelson sat on the chair, powerless. He gripped onto the armrest tightly with hisrge palms to


    restrain himself from rushing to snatch Adrienne back.


    After what he had done, Adrienne''s good impression of him that took years to build up had vanished


    in an instant.


    Despite that, Zelson felt that it was fine for things to have ended up that way. At least when she


    found out the truth in the future, she would have one less person to feel sorry for.


    Perhaps he was overthinking it. Even if he had not made a fool of himself like that, Adrienne might


    not even feel bad for him if she learned the truth.


    Because he had never been in her heart in the slightest.
