My Husband, Warm The Bed

Chapter 1935

"I'll take you there."

Jefferson replied.

Adrienne refused, "It's not very far away. You should attend to your own matters instead. I don't want them to get delayed because of me."

Jefferson raised his voice slightly. "Adrienne, how can I let you go over by yourself when Zelson is working there too."

Adrienne was speechless.

In that case, she couldn't reject him, could she?

If she dared to say no, Jefferson would never let her hear the end of it.

As a result, Jefferson sent her to the headquarters. When she was getting out of the car, he grabbed her hand and reminded her, "Little Specky, be extra careful with Zelson. Don't let him take advantage of you."

"Mr. Zelson isn't that kind of person," Adrienne argued.

Jefferson glared at her, and Adrienne immediately shut up.

Jefferson was still worried. "You know what? I'll go in with you instead."

"Don't you have something else to attend to? Besides, not everyone can go in and out of our workplace as they like," Adrienne commented.

Just as Jefferson was about to tell her that he was not occupied with work, he received a notification on his phone. He took the phone out of his pocket and saw that it was Sierra.

Adrienne added, "If you have something to do, you can leave first. I'll be fine by myself. This is the headquarters, not some lion's den. What are you worried about?"

"Zelson is even more worrying than a lion," Jefferson grunted.

Adrienne sighed internally.

"Aren't you going to ask who messaged me?" Jefferson asked again.

"If you want to tell me, just say it. Why do you have to make me ask?" Adrienne was starting to feel annoyed.

Jefferson was upset by Adrienne's indifferent attitude so he said, "Little Specky, aren't you curious who it is? Aren't you afraid that some other woman is texting me to ask me out?"

Adrienne was really not worried. In fact, there were even times when she hoped that the two of them could have more personal space so that he would stop bothering her all the time. She answered, "Jefferson, what are you trying to get at? You refused to tell me about it when asked last night, but now that I'm leaving you be, you actually complain that I don't care enough about you. What on earth do you want?"

"Fine, you should go. Call me when you're done. I'll come over to pick you up," Jefferson responded. He admitted that he was being a little unreasonable.

Adrienne nodded, turned around, and walked into the office building.

As soon as she entered, she saw Zelson standing only a few steps away from her. It seemed that he had been waiting for her for a long time.

His complexion looked terrible as if he hadn't slept for the entire night.

Adrienne was a little worried as she greeted, "Mr. Zelson..."

"Adrienne, come with me to my office." Zelson turned around and staggered toward her.

Adrienne immediately rushed up and wanted to help him up, but in the end, she did not do so. She did not want Jefferson to misunderstand, so she asked instead, "Mr. Zelson, are you okay?"

Zelson shook his head and tried to keep his balance. "Did Jefferson drop you off just now?"

Adrienne nodded, "Yes."

He added, "What happened last night..."

Adrienne immediately cut him off, "Mr. Zelson, I know that you didn't lie to me about what happened last night. Jefferson was most likely in danger, just as you mentioned. Fortunately, he managed to return home safely."

They arrived at Zelson's office as they spoke.

Zelson pushed open the door and let Adrienne in, following closely behind her.

As soon as Adrienne entered the door, she got straight to business. "Mr. Zelson, what can I do for you?"

"We haven't gotten the files yet so well need to wait a little longer." Zelson motioned for her to sit and said, "In the meantime, can I ask you something?" NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

"Go ahead, Mr. Zelson." Adrienne was curious.

"Are you sure you don't want to consider leaving Chatterton Town?" Zelson asked.

"Mr. Zelson, I think I have made it very clear to you before." Adrienne was a straightforward person, and she preferred to express her exact thoughts. She replied, "I won't be with you even if I leave Chatterton Town."

Adrienne was a gentle and quiet person, but she reminded him of Jefferson when she stood up for herself. Zelson smiled bitterly and said, "Adrienne, please don't misunderstand me. I'm not the kind to dwell on these things. You have made things clear with me so I'll not pester you anymore, but I hope that we can still remain as friends."

Professionally, Adrienne had always respected Zelson. If Zelson could put his romantic feelings for her behind him, she would gladly upkeep their relationship.

Adrienne assured him, "Mr. Zelson, you'll always be my respected mentor."

"You have to learn to protect yourself, do you understand?" Zelson was worried.

Adrienne nodded and questioned, "Mr. Zelson, can I ask you something?"

Zelson fixed his gaze on her and urged, "Go ahead."

"The person Jefferson went to see last night must have something to do with my parents' case. It made you so worried, and even Jefferson refused to tell me about it so I'm guessing that the person he met was the person who killed my parents," Adrienne presumed.

Hearing Adrienne's speculation, Zelson was shocked.

Although Zelson knew that Adrienne was great at her job, he had never thought that she would be able to confirm so quickly that the man Jefferson had met the night before was the murderer who killed her parents.

Adrienne added, "You know that person, and you're familiar with him, am I right?"

Zelson stared at her blankly.

Zelson wanted to deny it, but he wasn't able to do so under her firm gaze. His silence showed that he acquiesced.

"Jefferson must know him as well, but none of you are willing to tell me who that person is." She shrugged and smiled helplessly. "I guess I don't perform as well as I thought, so none of you think I have what it takes to bring the murderer to justice."

"No, Adrienne, it's not like that," Zelson answered. It was not because she did not have what it took, but because they were afraid that she would get hurt. After all, the murderer was no ordinary man but someone she had held dear to her heart.

"Mr. Zelson, you don't need to comfort me. I know both of you must have your reasons for keeping the truth from me. I will try to understand it from your point of view." Unfortunately, it didn't seem like they considered things from her point of view at all. They had no idea how badly she wanted to find out who the murderer was.

If the murderer wasn't brought to justice, it was very likely he would commit more crimes and more innocent people could end up getting hurt.

Of course, the thing that bothered Adrienne the most right then was her parents to be able to rest in peace.

"Adrienne, there are some things I don't want to admit, but I have to. Jefferson really loves you. You just have to believe in him." Although Zelson was unwilling to acknowledge Jefferson's feelings for Adrienne, they unanimously chose to hide the truth from her because they didn't want to see her get hurt.

Adrienne chuckled, "Thanks for telling me that, Mr. Zelson."

Zelson continued, "Sometimes it's better when certain things are left unknown. You should learn to let go, don't be so stubborn, or you will be the one who gets hurt. If you really like Jefferson, then please leave the past behind and focus on living a nice and simple life with him."
