Chapter 1934


    "How dare you call me an idiot? You''re asking for it." Jefferson lowered his head and bit Adrienne''s


    earlobe.


    Adrienne did not dare to breathe or move. Then, his seductive voice sounded in her ears, "Baby,


    let''s have a child."


    Jefferson thought that by having a child, it could perhaps distract Adrienne from her focus on


    tracking down her parents'' murderer. That way, Adrienne would not suffer a huge blow when the


    truth was finally revealed.


    Then, she wouldn''t get hurt.


    She would always put her child first if anything happened. Perhaps this would make their


    rtionship even stronger.


    Adrienne wanted to refuse him. She hoped that he would give her a little more time, but she had no


    chance to say it out loud.


    Adrienne soon forgot about traveling. There was only one thought in her mind. Jefferson, the Devil''s


    stamina was so strong that it felt like an eternity had passed when they were at it.


    After an intense session, Adrienne was leftpletely drained.

    Sheid in Jefferson''s arms powerlessly. In a daze, she heard Jefferson''s deep voice. "Baby, can


    you promise me one thing?"


    "Sure." Before he could say what it was, Adrienne agreed to his request.


    Jefferson lowered his head and rubbed her nose with the tip of his nose. He continued, "Little idiot, I


    haven''t even said what it is yet, but you promised me so quickly. Aren''t you afraid that I''ll pull a fast


    one on you?"


    "Will you do that to me, though?" Adrienne opened her eyes slightly. Her eyes were more


    enchanting than usual, making Jefferson''s heart waver as he looked at her.


    He couldn''t help but hug her even tighter, so tight that they could feel each other''s heartbeat. "Well,


    I might. If I did do that one day, would you hate me?"


    Adrienne was exhausted, but she thought carefully before giving her answer, "No."


    Jefferson was perplexed. "Why?"


    Adrienne shook her head. "I don''t know."


    Perhaps in her heart, she saw Jefferson as someone who treated her the best in this world. If he


    really did lie to her, he must have done it for her


    sake.


    "You little idiot!" Jefferson scolded in an affectionate voice. Adrienne didn''t even know what lie he


    could tell, yet she refused to hold it against him. Jefferson really wanted to flick her forehead so that


    she could be smarter and not believe in others so unconditionally.


    "Then tell me, what do you want me to promise you?" From Adrienne''s voice, it was obvious that


    she was exhausted. All she wanted to do at that moment was to shut her eyes and drift off to sleep,


    but she tried her best to stay awake to listen to him.


    "Promise me that you will live well no matter what happens in the future." Jefferson knew that no


    matter how hard he tried to conceal it, Adrienne would eventually find out what Sheridan had done


    over the years. The only thing he could do right then was to prepare her mentally and minimize the


    damage it would bring to her.


    "Why are you suddenly saying something like this?" Instead of such deep conversations, shouldn''t


    he be saying sweet nothings to her to make her happy after an intimate time together? Adrienne


    thought.


    Well, Jefferson was unlike any other man. In his heart, she was probably just someone unworthy of


    his love and affection.


    "Adrienne, you have to remember that although our lives were given to us by our parents, we are


    independent of them. Our lives are our own, not affiliated by anyone else," Jefferson emphasized.


    "I know." Although she was drowsy, her mind was inexplicably clear. Once again, she was sure that


    the person Jefferson had met that night had something to do with her parents'' murder.


    Jefferson was such a huge fool. He could always hide his emotions, but he could never hide the


    worried look in his eyes from her.


    It was only recently that she realized he would be extraordinarily nervous whenever it came to


    anything rted to her.


    Jefferson suddenly shouted out. "You don''t know!"


    Adrienne was taken aback.


    "Why is he so fierce all of a sudden?" Adrienne thought to herself.


    She rubbed her head against his chest andforted pitifully, "I do know. Don''t worry, okay?"


    Realizing that he had overreacted, Jefferson immediately gathered himself and added, "Let me give


    you an example."


    "Okay," Adrienne answered softly.


    "If I did something against thew one day and the police had no evidence to arrest me, what would


    you do to me if you found out about it?" Jefferson asked.


    Adrienne did not think much about it and replied, "If I can confirm that you''ve done something


    against thew, I think I will go ahead and expose you. If you vite thew, you will be punished.


    Everyone is equal before thew, and no one can be excluded."


    Adrienne''s answer was what he wanted to hear, but it was just a make-shift scenario. Since it was


    just a hypothesis, she could keep her senses and think rationally. If she was actually met with such


    a situation, that might not be the case anymore.


    "What will you do after I''m punished by thew?" Jefferson asked again.


    Adrienne shook her head, "I don''t know."


    "Think about it," Jefferson urged.


    Adrienne thought about it seriously and responded, "I still don''t know."


    Jefferson sighed.


    Adrienne continued, "Because I''m well aware that you will never do anything against thew. So


    why would I waste my brain cells on thinking about something that would never happen?"


    Jefferson didn''t know how to respond.


    He didn''t want to continue the conversation anymore, but he had to. "What I want to tell you is that


    even though you are my wife, what I''ve done has nothing to do with you. Don''t me yourself


    because of my actions, and don''t be bothered by what other people think either."


    "It''s not like we''re in the 12th century. Punishment of a crime doesn''t extend to families." Adrienne


    leaned into his arms and chose afortable position. "I don''t know what you''re worried about."


    "I meant psychologically. Don''t feel responsible if I happen to do something against thew


    someday," Jefferson uttered.


    Adrienne nodded. "Okay."


    "Little Specky, I hope that no matter what you encounter in the future, you will always remember


    what you''ve promised me tonight. You must make sure that you will live well no matter what."


    Adrienne did not answer him right then, so he looked down and found that she had fallen asleep.


    He said helplessly and dotingly, "My little idiot!"


    Adrienne was already asleep, but Jefferson wasn''t feeling sleepy at all. There was a tough battle


    coming up, and he had no time to rx.


    There was no progress on Freya''s case as new evidence could not be found. Everyone was


    anxious, but there was nothing else they could do.


    Adriennebed through the evidence over and over again, but nothing came up.


    Before she got off work, she received a call from the station asking her to go over to help out.


    There were limited numbers of pathologists at the station, so they would have to be avable


    whenever they were needed. Adrienne didn''t think too much about it nor did she expect that Zelson


    would be working there too.


    Before she left, she called Jefferson and informed him, "I got a call from the headquarters to assist


    them on a case. I''m not sure what time I''ll be done. You should head home without me and have


    dinner first. Don''t wait for me."
