My Husband, Warm The Bed

Chapter 1941 1 Couldn't Live Without You

After leaving the burger shop, Jefferson suggested they take a walk. Before Adrienne could agree, he was already dragging her along to the well-known Mangrove Bay in Chatterton Town.

Mangrove Bay was near the sea; a vibrant area famous for its nightlife. Hence, although it was already pretty late at night, there were still tons of people coming and going along the path.

Jefferson was the one who had forced Adrienne into that walk, but he was unusually quiet. He didn't say an entire word; he just held her hand tightly. Even someone as slow as Adrienne could tell that something was off with him. She asked, "Jefferson, what's the matter with you today?"

Jefferson pulled her closer to him and asked, "Can't I take you out for a walk?"

Adrienne looked up at him and all she saw was his chiseled jaw. She couldn't help but reach out to pinch him. "Jefferson, I feel like you're getting even more handsome nowadays."

"Well, I always knew that I was handsome. Don't tell me you've just realized that now, you little idiot?" Jefferson grabbed her hand and nibbled at it lightly. A faint smile appeared on his face. Needless to say, he was very pleased by her words.

"I mean, Mr. Hefner, can't you at least try to be humble about it?" That man was really arrogant. After just one compliment, he would be acting like he was the best-looking man on earth.

With no hesitation, Jefferson immediately answered, "If I'm handsome, why should I be humble about it? You'll never find anyone as goodlooking as yours truly."

Adrienne wanted to roll her eyes at him, but when she saw how proud and insolent he was, a feeling of warmth spread in her heart. That was the Jefferson she knew. Not the person who dragged her along without saying a word.

She used to think that his arrogant and overbearing personality was hateful. However, after having experienced so many things, she began to feel that such enthusiasm was a rare thing indeed and she hoped that he would remain that way forever.

Therefore, she tried hard to play along with him. "Yes, it's difficult to find someone better-looking than you are. To be honest, it makes me insecure." NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

"What's there to be insecure about?" Jefferson let go of Adrienne's hand, and put his arms around her waist instead. He pulled her into his embrace and said, "No matter how attractive I am, and no matter how many women are trying to get me, my heart is already occupied. You are the only little idiot I have in my heart."

"Jefferson, can't you say that in a nicer way?" Adrienne pretended to push him away, but her strength was no match to his. Before she could struggle to break free, he wrapped her tightly in his arms. Her face was pressed to his chest, and she could hear his strong and steady heartbeat. He said in a low voice, "Little Specky, I really love you. I can't live without you. If you decide to leave me one day, I'd probably die."

"J-Jefferson, what are you talking about? Don't say things like that." The sudden and formal confession made Adrienne's scalp tingle with fear.

She was scared because he was acting abnormally that time.

If this was in the past, Jefferson would've said something like, "You little idiot, how could you not know that I love you? Are you trying to p*ss me off?"

Then, she would remain in disbelief and just think to herself that it was his new way of messing with her.

At that moment, she believed him fully, but she was afraid at the same time.

Because she knew that his sudden change in attitude must have something to do with the thing that he was reluctant to tell her.

"I'm being serious. I've never been this serious in my life." Jefferson cupped Adrienne's face in his hands, and tilted it up so that she was looking into his eyes. With a never- before- seen solemn expression, he told her in a sonorous tone, "Adrienne, remember this. Without you, I would die."

"Jefferson, I told you not to talk nonsense, didn't you hear me?" Adrienne was so angry that she punched him on the chest and shouted, "You're a fully- grown man! How can you spout nonsense like that?"

They were making so much noise that several passers by looked over.

"Miss, do you know him?" Among the onlookers, two men went forward, as if they were ready to stand up for Adrienne once she denied knowing Jefferson. Some people even took out their phones and were ready to call the police at any time.

Surprisingly, Jefferson wasn't mad at all. In fact, his eyes betrayed a hint of a smile.

After all, they were just trying to protect his Little

Specky.

"Thank you guys, so sorry that I made you worry. He's my husband, and we're just joking around." Adrienne smiled at the good Samaritans who stood up for her. She proactively grabbed Jefferson's hand, hinting at him to thank the kind stranger too.

"No thanks needed. I didn't do anything." One of the men who had stepped forward replied to her, a little embarrassed. After all, he really hadn't done anything but she was giving him her gratitude.

"The fact that you cared to ask really warms my heart." There were so many scams going on in present- day society that humans wouldn't trust each other easily anymore. Oftentimes when people were met with real danger, those who wanted to reach out to help would hesitate because they were afraid of bringing trouble onto themselves.

But even then, some people were still willing to stand up for complete strangers. Right then, with her, all they did was ask a question. But if one day they did meet a girl who was involved with a bad man, they would become her savior.

Even though the world had a dark side to it, many people's hearts were full of light.

Someone from the crowd said, "Young man, that

girl is so well-mannered and polite. You have to treat her well. Don't bully her."

Both Jefferson and Adrienne looked at the source of the voice simultaneously. It was a grey-haired lady, sitting beside an old man whose hair had turned completely white. They were holding hands, and it was obvious that they had a good relationship.

Adrienne smiled. But before she could speak up, Jefferson, who typically ignored strangers, cut ahead of her. He said, "Thank you! I will take good care of her, just like how your husband treats you. I hope that in a couple decades, we'll be holding hands and walking around Mangrove Bay just like you two."

The tension between Jefferson and Adrienne had disappeared completely thanks to the onlookers' interference. After they had left, Jefferson grabbed Adrienne's hand and continued walking.

As they walked, Adrienne came to a halt. She grabbed onto his arm and said shyly, "Jefferson, all this walking has tired me out. Can you give me a piggyback ride for the rest of the way?"

"Do you think that I'm your slave, Adrienne? Asking me to carry you, huh?" Although Jefferson's were harsh, he still squatted down obediently in front of her. "Hop on, little idiot."

His actions touched Adrienne so much that tears welled up in her eyes. They were tears of joy, not sadness.

Adrienne immediately blinked her eyes, forcing the tears back into her eyes. She then patted him on the back, and ran forward. "What an idiot!"

How could she bear to let him carry her on his back? She was just intending to tease him. She didn't expect Jefferson, that idiot, to take her words seriously.
