My Husband, Warm The Bed

Chapter 1818

"Grandpa, you like him? Are you sure you don't want to beat him up?" No way, Adrienne thought. From what she knew, Hodge couldn't wait to chase Jefferson away with a stick every time he saw Jefferson. Why had he suddenly taken a liking to him?

"Don't you believe me? Honestly, it was hard for me to believe it too, but that rascal really has a way to make a person love and hate him." Seeing Adrienne's expression lighten up, Hodge deliberately dragged his words. "More importantly..."

Hodge purposely kept her guessing, which aroused her interest. She hurriedly asked, "What is it?"

Hodge chuckled and said, "The important thing is he likes you. As long as he likes you and treats you well, I'll remember it in my heart. There won't be any mistake."

Adrienne was stunned and stammered, "He... likes me? Did... he tell you that?"

"There was no need for him to tell me." Hodge pointed at his own eyes. "I've seen the world and I noticed it with my own eyes. He can't hide anything from me."

"You saw it? Grandpa, are you sure you didn't see wrongly?" Even Hodge could see it, how could she not see it herself? "But Grandpa, didn't you always say that he's not a good man and that he bullies me too much?"

Hodge answered again, "Think about it carefully. How did he bully you? Did he hurt you?"

"No," Adrienne replied bashfully. "He also told me that he liked me, but I didn't believe it."

"Silly child." Hodge poked her forehead. "How could I have such a foolish granddaughter? If he didn't like you, why would he follow you around every day like a pug?"Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

"A pug?" Adrienne was amused by Hodge's description. "Now that I think about it, he does kind of look like a pug."

"Look at how he treats other girls. For so many years, I've never seen him treat any girl that nicely, nor has he had any romantic relationships with anyone."

Upon hearing Hodge's words, Adrienne felt like that was indeed the case.

"Of course, it's just my opinion as an old man. It's your own decision whether you want to accept his love. After all, you are going to live with him in the future, not me."

"Grandpa, the truth is..." Adrienne felt bad for

not having informed Hodge of her marriage earlier, and currently, she was too embarrassed to say it out loud. She felt so unfilial.

Hodge's face was full of curiosity as he waited for Adrienne's shocking news. "What's the truth?"

"The truth is, Jefferson and I got married a few months ago." The more Adrienne looked at Hodge, the more guilt she felt. "We are now a legally wed couple."

"Well, well, well..." Hodge laughed happily. "Little Specky, you're finally married. I don't need to worry about your future anymore."

"Grandpa, are you not surprised at all?" There was only happiness and no surprise on Hodge's face. Adrienne was perplexed.

Hodge spoke, "Jefferson isn't the kind of guy to play by the books. He likes you. I'm not surprised at all that he managed to trick you into marrying him."

"It was not really a trick. If I didn't want to deep down, could he have tricked me?" Although she was indeed a little confused at that time, if she really didn't want to, it wasn't like Jefferson would force her with a gun to her head.

"It's even better since you were willing." Hodge knew that if Adrienne didn't want to,

Jefferson would not have been able to fool her. All along, Adrienne had Jefferson in her heart; she just hadn't realized her own feelings for him.

Fortunately, Jefferson was patient. He was willing to spend so much time and energy on her, and he was willing to wait for her for so many years.

"Grandpa, it's such a big deal, but I didn't tell you. Aren't you mad at me?" Adrienne wished he would show at least a little dissatisfaction. That way, she wouldn't feel as foolish.

Otherwise, it would mean that everyone had known that Jefferson liked her except herself.

"Little Specky, you've found your happiness. I'm overjoyed. How could I be mad?" Hodge kindly rubbed Adrienne's head. "Adrienne, I'm really happy for you."

Although Hodge hadn't expected them to be married already, Hodge wasn't surprised at all, knowing Jefferson and his methods.

Many men got together with girls, slept with them, and even knocked them up, yet still found all sorts of excuses not to get married. They were too afraid of taking responsibility.

Jefferson wasn't like that. He sought to marry the girl he liked and become her legal husband. He thought of sensible and

legitimate ways to protect his woman. "How righteous of him!" Hodge thought. How could Hodge feel anything else but joy?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt like Jefferson was a good man. He was bold and responsible. No one was better than Jefferson to stay by Adrienne's side.

However, Hodge didn't want Jefferson to get complacent. He told himself that one of these days, he must ask that rascal out for drinks. Hodge wanted to show his seniority and put Jefferson in his place. That way, Jefferson wouldn't feel like Little Specky was that easy to get.

"Yes, I must teach that rascal a lesson," Hodge thought.

"Grandpa, do you really think so highly of him?" Before coming to the hospital, Adrienne was still thinking about how to persuade Hodge to accept Jefferson. She had no idea that Hodge already had such a clear understanding of the situation. He had just never let it show before.

"At present, I think highly of him. But if he ever lets you down, I won't be this kind." Hodge appreciated Jefferson, therefore he accepted him. The premise was that Jefferson must treat Adrienne well, otherwise, everything else would be irrelevant.

"He won't! He wouldn't dare!" Adrienne did not know why, but she was sure that Jefferson would always be with her and 'bully' her.

"Then tell me why he didn't come with you to the hospital today." According to Hodge's understanding of Jefferson, there was no way he would leave Adrienne alone for so long, especially at night.

Adrienne felt a pain in her chest again but she forced a smile. "He is on a business trip and will return in two days. When he comes back, we will come to visit you together."

"Okay, I'll be waiting." Hodge looked up at the clock on the wall. "Adrienne, it's getting late. You have work tomorrow, you better go back earlier to rest."

"Grandpa, I'll accompany you for a while more." Adrienne took the newspaper that Hodge had put down before. "I'll read today's news for you."

Hodge nodded. "Okay."
