My Husband, Warm The Bed

Chapter 1794

At the mention of her parents' murder case, Adrienne suddenly stood up. "Mr. Albert, do you know the truth behind my parents' death? Who is the murderer? What was his motive?"

"Adrienne, as long as you divorce Jefferson and convince him to date Eunice, I will tell you everything you wish to know. If not, you can search for the rest of your life but you'll never know the truth," Albert sipped his tea and spoke slowly.

"Why?" Adrienne's eyes turned red. She didn't understand. How did Albert know about the truth behind her parents' murder? Why did he want her to leave Jefferson so badly?

Didn't he say repeatedly that he treated her as his own daughter?

Wouldn't it be best if she could marry Jefferson and be a part of the Hefner family?

"As I said, as long as you get me the results I want, I'll answer all your questions," said Albert slowly. "Remember, don't tell Jefferson about this. If he knows, then our deal no longer stands. Of course, you two can investigate on your own if you'd like. I'm sure you'll find out the truth one day, but who knows when will that day come?"

Adrienne was in a daze and had no idea how she left the cafe. Even after she returned to the detachment, Albert's words were still ringing loudly in her ears.

Albert was an important figure in Chatterton Town. In fact, he received outstanding awards annually. He was a well-known official and was well-loved by the citizens. Adrienne also respected him very much.

At this instant, Adrienne realized that not everyone was as they seemed. Albert definitely wasn't what she thought he was. He wasn't as kind as she thought at all. On the contrary, he had a darker side to him that chilled her to the bones.

Of course, Jefferson wasn't someone who he seemed either. Although he seemed arrogant and violent, bullying her every day, he would always be the first one to rush and support her when she was in danger.

Was Albert against her being together with Jefferson because Jefferson cared about her? Perhaps, Albert was worried Jefferson would get dragged into her parents' murder case investigation.

Adrienne couldn't figure it out. "What do I do now?" she asked herself inwardly.

"Should I push Jefferson away?"

She could do it.

But what right did she have to persuade him to date Eunice?

Why should Jefferson sacrifice his happiness for her?

She couldn't do that.

"Adrienne..."

Beside her, Adrienne's colleague was calling out for her. Adrienne came back to her senses and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Dr. Jacob wants to see you in his office."

"Okay." Adrienne shook her head and tried to push this whole Albert matter to the back of her head for the moment. She tidied up a bit and then headed to Zelson's office. "Mr. Zelson, are you looking for me?"

Zelson pointed to the seat opposite him and said, "Sit down, let's talk."

Adrienne was stunned for a moment before sitting down. "Mr. Zelson, what's the matter?"

Zelson handed her a cup of coffee and said, "Adrienne, there are some things we can't change. Don't think too much and just do your best."

Adrienne said, "I don't think about that matter anymore."

"Then, why were you in such a daze this

morning?"

It turned out that she had let her personal affairs affect her work. She apologetically said, "It's a personal issue. I'll try to be more focused on the job."

Zelson replied, "Is it because of Jefferson?"

Adrienne nodded. "Sort of."

"Jefferson might have a bad temper, but he's a good person. As long as he sees you as a friend, he'll treat you well. Don't let something insignificant ruin your friendship."

"Thank you, Mr. Zelson! I know Jefferson is a good person and I will cherish the relationship between us." Zelson had seen Jefferson several times. Every time they met, Jefferson was extremely hostile towards Zelson. Jefferson even warned her not to get too close to Zelson.

Comparing how Jefferson and Zelson treated people, Adrienne felt like Jefferson really was a very petty man.

Zelson handed a document on his desk to Adrienne. "I have a document here. It's the notes I wrote down at the forensics conference yesterday. Take it back and have a look. I hope it will help you with your work in the future."

Adrienne received it with both hands. "Mr. Zelson..." "Don't need to thank me. I'm your senior and I've guided you this far. I am always willing to help you in any way I can for your work."

"Thank you!" Although Zelson had told her not to say it, she still felt the need to. To get into this career under his guidance was really a blessing for her.

In the afternoon, Adrienne focused on working hard instead of thinking about Albert.

While Adrienne was in the detachment, Jefferson was also busy.

He had a quick lunch outside. Then, he went to the supermarket to buy a bunch of stuff, including clothes and food. He stuffed them all into the back of his car and headed to the hospital to visit Hodge.

Hodge was chatting with another patient happily. When he saw Jefferson, his face immediately fell. "Jefferson, Little Specky isn't here today. Why have you come alone?"

"Am I not allowed to visit you if Little Specky isn't around?" Jefferson was never good at reading the room. Despite Hodge showing clear reluctance to speak to him, Jefferson still boldly stepped towards him. "Little Specky is busy with work, but I'm free, hence I came to chat with you to relieve your boredom."

Hodge felt a headache come on when he saw all the bags that Jefferson had brought in with him. "I have other patients to talk to. You needn't bother yourself, Jefferson."

"Mr. Hodge, do you really dislike me that much?" Jefferson put the bags down in the room and sat down beside Hodge's bed. "Take a good look at me. I'm good looking and talented. If Little Specky marries me, she'll be able to hold her head high with me as her husband. Wouldn't you agree?"

When Hodge heard that Jefferson was aiming for his granddaughter again, he immediately became alert. "Jefferson, don't frighten me. I'm too old to be scared like this."

However, Jefferson didn't stop. He didn't even bother to try and ease the situation with more subtle words. Instead, he directly expressed his purpose of coming and said, "Mr. Hodge, will you stop Little Specky if she wants to marry me?"

Hodge looked at him. It was clear that Jefferson was here to ask for Adrienne's hand in marriage. However, Hodge felt like Jefferson was being disrespectful, and he got angry. He replied rudely, "Little Specky is short-sighted; she isn't blind."

Jefferson was an arrogant man. He replied, "Mr. Hodge, what are you talking about? Little Specky is blind. That is the only explanation as to why she doesn't like such an amazing man like myself."

Hodge was speechless.

He had never met someone so arrogant and shameless.

Who would praise themselves this much in front of other people every day?

However, although Jefferson was arrogant and sometimes even annoying, Hodge actually quite liked him.
