Chapter 1937


    "Of course it''s because of you. How long has it been since you visited Grandpa? He misses you so


    much that he hasn''t been able to eat or sleep well, so he asked me toe to Chatterton Town to


    take you home." Sierra was being honest.


    She was only in Chatterton Town because Maxwell was missing Jefferson, and it just so happened


    that Johan had business to do here, too.


    Jefferson admitted he hadn''t visited Maxwell in the capital in a while. The thought of it made him


    feel rather guilty. "I''ve been so upied with work recently that I couldn''t even make time to see


    him and I hardly give him any phone calls either. s, I admit that I should have done better as a


    grandson."


    Sierra added again, "Then you should go home and pack up. We''ll go back tomorrow."


    Jefferson leaned back on his chairzily. He tapped the teacup in front of him with his slender


    fingers and rejected her, "Not now."


    Sierra put on a dignified look and scolded him, "What do you mean ''not now''? Why can''t you leave


    now? I never thought that I would hear those wordsing through your lips." "What are you


    talking about? I have a case at hand so I can''t leave just yet. After the case is closed, I''ll bring


    Adrienne along to meet Grandpa. I believe he''ll be very happy to see her." Jefferson hoped that he


    could find the perfect solution to solve this case. Only by solving Sheridan''s case would Adrienne be


    left unharmed. Then, he would have a chance to take her to the capital.


    "In the beginning, Grandpa didn''t want you to be in this line of work, but you insisted. Nheless,


    he really loves you, and you were determined so he didn''t stop you. But how can you put work


    before him now? Do youck the money or something? You should know that if he gives his word,


    you won''t be able to keep your job." Sierra wasn''t trying to threaten him because Maxwell really didN?velDrama.Org content.


    have the ability to do so. Knowing how much he adored Jefferson, he would definitely be willing to


    do just anything.


    "I''m aware of his influence, but you should ask him if he wants to control my life or if he wants me to


    live the life I want to live." Back when Jefferson chose to venture into criminal investigation, Maxwell


    had done everything he could to stop him. Meanwhile, Jefferson also tried his best to gain his


    approval.


    "All Grandpa is concerned about is your safety,"


    Sierra argued in Maxwell''s defense. She knew Jefferson well. If she kept pushing him, he would


    only distance himself further. However, if she spoke nicely, perhaps he could be persuaded.


    "Jefferson, it''s not that he wants to control your life. He''s getting old, and you''re his favorite


    grandson. He misses you and wants you by his side. I don''t think he''s being unreasonable at all."


    "Okay. You should head back first and let Grandpa know that I''ll visit him once I''m done with work,"


    Jefferson promised. Maxwell was getting old, and his health had been deteriorating each year. The


    time he had with his children and grandchildren was getting less, and Jefferson was well aware of


    that.


    Adrienne had told him to spend more time with his family as she did not want him to regret not


    having done so after losing them like she did.


    Sierra persuaded patiently, "Can''t you get someone else to take over the case?"


    Jefferson shook his head.


    "You!" Sierra let out a long sigh. "Why are you so stubborn? You''re just like Adrienne. Both of you


    are so strong-headed yet somehow you two ended up together."


    "My Little Specky is cute when she''s being stubborn. I like her foolish determination." When they


    spoke about Adrienne, Jefferson''s lips unconsciously curled into a smile. The admiration in his gaze


    could not be concealed.


    Jefferson''s feelings for Adrienne were written all over his face. As if he wanted to tell the whole


    world that he loved his little idiot. Sierra was envious, and in a trance, Jefferson''s face suddenly


    turned into a solemn handsome face...


    "Sierra, why are you staring at me like this?" Jefferson''s voice broke her train of thought. She smiled


    and found a random topic, "I''m wondering when you and Adrienne are going to have a baby."


    "Hmm, probably next year," Jefferson replied with a soft chuckle. In fact, it was Adrienne''s fertile


    window the past few days and he had been working extra hard the night before too. Perhaps they


    had already seeded in conceiving the baby.


    "Grandpa would be overjoyed." Seeing how well Jefferson and Adrienne were doing, Sierra was


    happy for them. However, she also felt a little uneasy, perhaps it was because she had not figured


    out what had happened the night before.


    She continued, "Jefferson, you don''t have to tell me what happenedst night, but you must be


    honest with Adrienne about it. Don''t make her overthink."


    Jefferson fell silent.


    Sierra added, "You have to understand that a woman is way more sensitive than a man.


    Communication is the most important factor between two people. Nothing may happen now, but if


    this continues, it would definitely turn into an issue between the two of you. Suspicions are like a


    seed, and they will slowly sprout and grow in one''s heart. Once an outburst happens, the trust


    between the two of you will be broken forever."


    "I know that, but I have my reasons for not telling her," Jefferson answered as he nodded.


    "What''s the reason? Is it to protect her?" Sierra shot him one question after another. "Jefferson, how


    do you know what''s best for her?"


    He didn''t know how to answer.


    Adrienne had been emphasizing that she was already an adult. In fact, she''s also his wife and no


    longer the little girl he used to shield under his wings. She wanted to shoulder their burdens


    together instead of him secretly carrying the burden by himself.


    Jefferson knew all of this. However, the culprit was Sheridan, Adrienne''s father, who was


    supposedly dead for two years at that time. There was no way Adrienne would be able to take it


    when she found out the truth.


    Jefferson remained silent. Sierra knew that he was thinking about her words seriously, so she


    carried on, "Jefferson, do you know what I sawst night?"


    "What did you see?" Jefferson asked.


    Sierra replied, "I was alone in the hotelst night, and I was really bored. So, I drove to your


    neighborhood. When I reached the parking lot and was about to call you, I saw something."


    Jefferson continued to ask, "What is it?"


    Sierra answered, "Your father''s secretary brought a document and gave it to Adrienne to sign."


    "What document?" Jefferson was stunned.


    Sierra paused for a moment to organize her thoughts. "I parked my car not far from them at that


    time, and I could vaguely hear what they were talking about. The story was Adrienne thought that


    you were in danger, so she called your father for help, and your father took the opportunity to ask


    her to sign the document."


    Upon hearing this, Jefferson flew into a rage and punched the table. Everyone immediately looked


    over to them. Sierra quickly patted his hand andforted, "Don''t get too worked up just yet. Let


    me finish." "Go ahead," Jefferson urged angrily.
