Chapter 1931


    It was already two o''clock in the morning by the time Jefferson arrived home.


    At such ate hour, most people would be asleep. However, he noticed two people at the entrance


    of the parking lot. One was Adrienne, and the other was his cousin, Sierra Yard, who he hadn''t seen


    in quite a while.


    When Jefferson''s gaze fell on Adrienne, he couldn''t help but clench his fist. He was afraid that the


    dull girl would be sharp all of a sudden and notice something through the look in his eyes.


    Although Jefferson knew it wasn''t possible for that slow little idiot to be that perceptive out of


    the blue, his face was still ridden with anxiety.


    Jefferson took a moment topose himself before getting out of the car. Deliberately avoiding


    Adrienne, he stepped forward to give Sierra a hug. "Sierra, you''ve visited Chatterton Town quite a


    few times, yet you''ve never hit me up. Are you trying to surprise me or scare me by showing up at


    my doorstep all of a sudden?"


    Sierra looked at him, feigning dissatisfaction. "When did you be this stupid? Even if I never


    told you I was in town, you should know I would be if Johan was here. Besides, are only men


    allowed to have fun? Can''t Ie over to see Adrienne?"


    Sierra''s words had a double meaning. How could Jefferson not possibly see through it? He


    immediately yed along and said, "Sierra, I told Adrienne that I went out to work. How could you


    expose my lie so soon? Do you want me to sleep in the dog kennel tonight?"


    "I noticed that Adrienne was worried about you, that''s why I told her you didn''t have an operation


    tonight and that you went out to meet Johan." Raising a fist, Sierra punched Jefferson yfully.


    "Well, it''s gettingte. Since you''re home, I''ll go back to the hotel too. Well meet again when


    everyone is all rested up."


    "Sierra..." Jefferson still had something to say, but Sierra interjected. "Adrienne was very worried


    about you. As a husband, how could you let your wife worry like this? You should reflect on your


    actions. Otherwise, I''ll call both my sisters and get them to reprimand you on Adrienne''s behalf."


    "Please don''t do that, Sierra." It was hard enough for Jefferson to deal with Britney who was


    constantly protecting Adrienne. If the three sisters of the Yard family came into the picture, he would


    never know peace again.


    "If you don''t want them to get involved, then don''t bully Adrienne anymore. Stop making her worry


    about you." Sierra looked at Adrienne and said, "Adrienne, if Jefferson bullies you again, make sure


    you give me a call. I''ll bring some of my people over to beat him up."


    Adrienne smiled. "Okay, Sierra."


    "Alright, I''ll be on my way then. You two should get home and rest early." Sierra waved her hand,


    getting into a taxi that had stopped at the curb since earlier.


    Jefferson watched her leave before turning back to Adrienne. As soon as he did, he saw Adrienne,


    who had been smiling cheerily in front of Sierra, burst into tears. His heart ached at the sight of it.


    Jefferson immediately wiped her tears and asked, "My Little Specky, what''s wrong?"


    Adrienne batted his hand away, turned around and walked into the neighborhood. Jefferson left his


    car parked by the road and followed her in a hurry. "Why are you crying?" he asked again.


    Adrienne stopped and looked at him. "Go and park your car properly. It''ll be inconvenient for other


    people if you park like that. Try to be more considerate from now on, okay?"


    Adrienne was crying her eyes out but she was still concerning herself with how his parking would


    affect others. Jefferson was really thrown for a loop. He said, "Okay, don''t cry,e with me and


    well park the car properly, okay?"


    Adrienne ignored him and walked away.


    Jefferson wanted to catch up with her, but he decided to follow her advice and park his car first.


    When he returned home, he opened the door and saw Adrienne sitting in the living room, looking at


    him sadly.


    Adrienne''s gaze made Jefferson panic. She was looking at him as if he had done something wrong


    behind her back.


    While changing into his room slippers, Jefferson asked, "Baby, what''s the matter?"


    Adrienne continued looking at him with an upset expression. She asked, "Jefferson, tell me


    honestly, where have you been tonight?"

    After Jefferson''s room slippers were fit snugly, he walked over and sat beside her. "Didn''t Sierra


    mention it just now? Johan asked me to hang out with him."


    "Who said you could sit?" Adrienne suddenly shouted. Jefferson was so spooked that he


    immediately stood up. "Okay, okay, okay, I won''t sit without your permission. Baby, let''s just talk it


    out nicely. Don''t be mad, it''s not good for your health. I''ll feel bad if anything happens to you."


    "Would you feel bad, though? If so, you wouldn''t have lied to me." As she said that, Adrienne''s tears


    began to fall again, and she looked as pitiful as she could be.


    At the sight of the steady stream of tears down Adrienne''s face, Jefferson''s heart ached. He was at


    a loss; he couldn''t help but soften his voice, coaxing her like he would a child, "Little Specky, let''s


    just talk it out. Don''t cry, okay?"


    Adrienne sniffed with tears in her eyes and blurted out, "Jefferson, tell me, who am I to you?"


    "Little idiot, what kind of question is that? You''re my wife."


    Jefferson wanted to pull her into his arms, but as soon as he moved, he was met with her fierce but


    teary-eyed stare. He quickly withdrew his hands.


    Jefferson knew that incident would not blow over smoothly.


    Although Adrienne seemed gentle and delicate, as though even a gust of wind could blow her


    down, she was as stubborn as a donkey. Once she had made up her mind about something, it


    would be hard to change her mind.


    Suddenly, an ominous feeling welled up in Jefferson''s heart. Adrienne was that concerned; she kept


    asking him where he had been. Could it be that she had heard of something from someone?


    Jefferson was frantic with worry; he was worried that she might already know something and that


    this was just her testing him.


    As his uneasiness grew, Adrienne retorted, "So you do know that I''m your wife, huh?"


    "What nonsense are you talking about?" asked Jefferson with a smile as he tried to mask his


    anxiety.


    At his nonchnt answer, Adrienne cried even harder. "You''ve never treated me as your wife. Not


    even once."


    "Little Specky, if not you, who else would I treat as my wife then?" Jefferson asked, feeling


    thoroughly wronged.


    Adrienne red at him and wiped her tears roughly. "Whenever anything happens, you never tell


    me about it. Because you think that I''m still a child, a child that will never grow up."


    Jefferson was speechless. If she was just a child to him, why would he marry her?


    "You assume I can''t do anything right, so you want to do everything for me. That''s why you never


    tell me anything," Adrienne added.


    "I..." Jefferson opened his mouth, wanting to exin. Adrienne interrupted him, saying, "You don''t


    have to exin. I know that''s what you think of me."


    "Little Specky, can you stop being so unreasonable?" Jefferson was beginning to panic too.


    With tears brimming in her eyes, Adrienneshed out at him, "I''m talking sense, but you call me


    unreasonable. What else do you see me as if not a clueless child?"
