Chapter 1967 She Called His Name In Her Sleep


    Adrienne threw the towel at his face and huffed, "Do what you want. If you don''t dry yourself and


    catch a cold, it''s your own fault. You''re a full-grown man, I''m not going to take care of you."


    "What a heartless woman!" Jefferson took away the towel which Adrienne had used to cover her


    face. "Since you don''t want to dry me off, then don''t. I will stay cold because no one will feel sorry


    for me even if I fall sick anyway."


    "You..." Adrienneughed out of frustration. "Are you a three-year-old child? Could you not be this


    childish?"


    "Am I being childish? I''m sad because you don''t care about me," replied Jefferson.


    Adrienne really was powerless against him. She knew that if she didn''t help him, he would really


    stay there in the cold. So, she gave in. "Turn around."


    "What do you mean ''turn around''?" Jefferson reached out and pulled her into his arms. Then, he


    said arrogantly, "Adrienne, you''ve seen and touched everyst inch of me. So why are you


    pretending like you''ve never seen me naked? You''d better stop that."


    "Let go of me." Adrienne''s face was pressed tightly to his chest, and she could hear his steady


    heartbeat. Immediately after, he picked her up by the waist.


    Her body was suddenly hoisted into the air. Spooked, Adrienne instinctively reached out and


    hugged his neck. The distance between them closed and they could feel each other''s breath on


    their skin.


    "Jefferson, what are you doing?" While Adrienne was rattled, Jefferson set her down on the bed.


    His imposing figure approached her. Seeing him getting closer to her, Adrienne closed her eyes out


    of instinct.


    However, in the next second, a thought suddenly came to Adrienne''s mind. She immediately


    reached out to stop him, saying, "Jefferson, no, absolutely not..."


    "What''s wrong?" Adrienne''s sudden, firm resistance made Jefferson stop in his tracks. He looked at


    her and asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"


    "No, it''s just that..." Adrienne hadn''t figured out how to tell Jefferson about the baby. She was a little


    anxious at the moment; her face turned pale with fear.


    She was still iming there was nothing wrong despite the fact that her face was as pale as a


    sheet. That woman was about to drive him insane.


    Jefferson stuffed her into the quilt and said discontentedly, "It''s not like I''ll devour you. Are you really


    that scared?"


    Even then, he was harsh towards her. Adrienne''s nose twitched and tears began welling up in her


    eyes. "Can you stop being so fierce to me?"


    "Was I being fierce though?" Seeing her aggrieved and pitiful look, Jefferson couldn''t help but soften


    his tone. "Little idiot, when have I ever done anything to hurt you?"


    He had never done that, but she would feel anguish whenever he yelled at her, and the urge to cry


    welled up without her wishing it.


    Jefferson caressed her head and sighed. "Have I ever forced you into it when you didn''t want to?


    Let''s just sleep then."


    Adrienne sank into the quilt while Jefferson turned around to dry himself off. He casually wrapped a


    towel around himself andy next to her. She wanted to inch away, but unexpectedly, the moment


    she did, Jefferson pulled her into his arms and held her tightly. He said again, "Let''s sleep." "I can''t


    sleepfortably like this." Jefferson''s muscles were firm and he was holding her that tightly.


    Adrienne couldn''t sleep well in that position, but he refused to let go. Instead, he said, "I dare you to


    move again."


    Adrienne kept quiet.


    How could Jefferson think that he wasn''t being fierce to her?


    If that wasn''t considered fierce, what was it then?


    Adrienne didn''t dare to move again and let him hold her. After a long time, as she was about to fall


    asleep, Jefferson''s pleasant, but arrogant voice sounded above her head. "I haven''t seen you in so


    long. Can''t I just hug you?"


    It wasn''t that Adrienne didn''t want him to hug her, she was just worried that he wouldn''t be able to


    control himself. She didn''t want anything to happen to their baby because they were caught up in


    the heat of the moment.


    In fact, Adrienne liked his hugs. His body was warm; he could drive the coldness of the night away


    so that she could finally have a good night''s sleep.


    She instinctively snuggled up into his arms as Jefferson held her in his arms. "Don''t move, sleep


    well."


    Jefferson was struggling to suppress his desires. For that little idiot, he had to.


    "I''m sorry, Jefferson!" She suddenly apologized in his embrace.


    Jefferson already knew what she meant. "What''s the use of apologizing? You know your mistakes.


    Just don''t do anything to worry me again."


    "I won''t." No one was obligated to wait for her to realise her mistakes. Adrienne had to learn how to


    control her own emotions and work on herself so that she could stand proudly beside him as his


    equal.


    "You little idiot!" Although it was an insult, the way Jefferson looked at her was gentle and


    affectionate.


    After a while, Adrienne fell asleep. Meanwhile, Jefferson, who had been busy for the past several


    days, was not sleepy at all.


    Jefferson looked down at Adrienne''s sleeping face and could not resist kissing her on the forehead.

    It took him that long to find her. It wasn''t just longing he felt, but also worry.


    Jefferson was worried that Adrienne wasn''t eating or sleeping well. He worried himself sick over


    whether she was having nightmares every night or whether she was losing weight...


    When Jefferson saw her earlier, it struck him that she had lost weight, but she was doing quite well


    mentally. At that moment, a huge burden was lifted off his chest.


    Jefferson was not someone who was good at expressing his feelings, nor did he know how to coax


    a girl with sweet nothings. He only knew how to tell her frankly that he loved her.


    But that little idiot never believed him.


    If she wouldn''t believe him the first time, then he would keep saying it until she did.


    He had been saying it to her for that long, but Adrienne still wouldn''t understand his feelings.


    At that thought, Jefferson gently grabbed her hand, raised it to his lips and kissed it again and


    again. "Adrienne, you have no idea how much I love you. I was worried to death when I couldn''t find


    you. I bet you never thought about how I would live on if something happened to you."


    When would she finally take him into consideration when making her decisions? Jefferson


    pondered.


    Jefferson knew that it would take a long time for her to love him like he did for her. He might even


    have to wait for a lifetime, but he was willing to do so.


    "Jeff..." Just as Jefferson was looking at Adrienne, she parted her pink lips and called his name.


    That little idiot was calling for him in her dream. At that instant, it was as if someone had drowned


    his heart in honey, so sweet that it was about to overflow. "Baby, I''m here. What''s the matter? Do


    you have anything to tell me?"


    "Jeff..." Adrienne didn''t say anything else but his name as Jefferson held her tight in his embrace.


    "I''m here, right beside you. You can tell me whatever you want," said Jefferson as he patted her on


    the back and his heart had already melted into a puddle at her calling him by that name.


    His baby was calling out for him in her dreams. Did that mean he could assume that she did love


    him?
