novelxo Chapter 1925 Who Are You Trying To Seduce
Jefferson had to admit, his mother had been living
happily for as far as he knew, and she was never miserable about anything.
She took care of her
husband and son willingly. No one had ever forced her to do that.
Nonetheless, his mother was only happy because she didn't know what Albert had been doing behind her back. If the terrible things his father had been doing got exposed, her happiness all these years would seem like a joke.
Albert said, "I have a clear conscience, I have done nothing wrong all these years."
"Albert Hefner, it looks like I've overestimated you." Jefferson said as he clenched his fist, "You're a coward that only has the guts to do these things, but doesn't have the guts to admit it."
Albert replied, "Jefferson, you think I did all those hurtful things to your mother just by looking at a few pictures?"
"I saw it with my own eyes, how could it be fake?" Jefferson said fiercely.
Albert smiled and said, "You shouldn't forget that technology is very advanced in this day and age. I wouldn't be surprised at all if someone could create an exact clone of myself, let alone a few pictures." Albert sounded so sure that Jefferson began to doubt whether Albert had actually cheated on his mother. He started to suspect that the man he saw cheating on his mother might not be Albert. Whether it was true or not, Jefferson didn't want his mother to be unhappy, so he bore with it and said, "Since you're willing to keep up the lie, then well continue to do so. I want my mother to maintain her happy and optimistic mindset, I don't want her to be sad because of your horrible behavior."
Albert chuckled, "She's my wife, of course I'd know how to make her happy."
"What about making me happy? What are you guys talking about?" Britney appeared under the moonlight with Adrienne behind her, and they both looked at the father and son with a puzzled look. "We were talking about how we're going to make our beloved queen happy every day." Jefferson walked over to Adrienne and held onto her waist as he pulled her into his arms.
Britney giggled and said, "Stop flattering me just to make me happy. It's getting late, you and Adrienne should go home and rest early."
"Yes, My Queen." Jefferson pulled Adrienne away so hastily that Adrienne didn't even have a chance to bid goodbye to Britney and Albert properly.
As they watched the two leave, Britney looked up at Albert. She felt that he was still as handsome and sophisticated as when they first met, no matter how many years had passed by. She said, "Albert, I'm so sorry that you have to go through this."
Albert held onto her shoulders and said gently, "With you by my side, there's nothing to be sorry about."
Britney said with a smile, "I knew you were framed and that you didn't cheat on me, but I wouldn't let you explain it to our son, and you didn't blame me for it either. I'm sorry that you have to endure the pain all by yourself."
A gentle smile appeared on Albert's face, and he said, "You're my wife that I've put in so much effort to pursue, and Jefferson is the child you gave birth to. This pain is nothing when it's for the both of you." "Albert, thank you for bearing with my capriciousness." Britney snuggled into Albert's embrace as she said, "By the way, were you going to tell me that you didn't want Jefferson to be with Adrienne?" Although it was a question, Britney sounded very certain about it.
Albert nodded.
Britney grabbed onto his hand and said tenderly, "Adrienne is an independent individual, she has her own thinking. We watched her growing up and we know her personality well. Moreover, Sheridan had passed away so long ago too. What are you worrying about?"
Albert said, "Nowadays, I kept having the feeling that he's..."
Albert suddenly stopped talking. Britney lifted her head and asked him, "He's what?"
Albert shook his head and said, "It's nothing."
Back then, Sheridan Carter's body was
dismembered into many parts, and they couldn't confirm if it was him through mere facial recognition. However, the DNA results showed that it was indeed Sheridan, so he shouldn't have had such an absurd thought....
Jefferson was in a bad mood.
Adrienne could see it, but she didn't know why he was moody.
Every once in a while, she would turn her head to look at him, only to see that his hands was grasping onto the steering wheel so tightly that his veins were popping.
"Are you okay?" she asked.
The entire journey was extremely quiet, and the atmosphere was depressing. Adrienne gave it a thought, and decided to ask in the end, even though she knew that he wouldn't answer her even if she asked. Upon hearing her tender voice, Jefferson relaxed a little. He held her hand with his right hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
Adrienne pouted, "You're not fine. You'd always pretend to be fine in front of me, then I'll have to guess what's up with you myself. Don't you know that I'll get tired of it too?"
Jefferson chuckled. "Then tell me little idiot. What are your guesses?"
Adrienne retracted her hand angrily, "I'm guessing that you have another woman outside? That you don't want to be with me anymore?"
Jefferson laughed heartily, "Wow, it seems like my Little Specky is jealous."
Adrienne was speechless.
She was not jealous, absolutely not.
Adrienne went straight to the bathroom to take a shower as soon as they arrived home, as she was still mad at Jefferson. She thought that Jefferson was going to follow her, but she didn't see Jefferson even after she was done showering.
She couldn't help but go look for him in the study room, and saw that he was working in front of the computer. She was worried that he would tire himself out so she said, "It's already midnight, are you not going to shower or sleep? What are you up to at this hour?"
"Come here," Jefferson said without lifting his head.
He didn't even look at her. Was she supposed to go over to him just because he told her to?
Adrienne muttered in her heart, but her feet didn't listen to her orders, and they took her right next to Jefferson in a few steps.
Jefferson switched off the computer and stroked her head. "Can't sleep? You're not used to sleeping without me, aren't you?" Adrienne said haughtily, "I can definitely sleep, I'd sleep soundly without you."
"That's good." Jefferson pinched her cheeks and said, "My previous colleague needs my help, so I'll have to go out in a while. You should go to bed first." "Oh." Jefferson was already occupied with his work as a criminal police, yet his old colleague came to seek help from him? Did they think that he was some iron man? Who had inexhaustible energy?
Adrienne was a little displeased, but thought that the colleague must've sought help from Jefferson only because the matter was complicated. The matter might involve many citizens' safety, so it wasn't right for her to stop him. "Okay, be extra careful, okay? Make sure you keep yourself safe no matter what."
Jefferson lowered his head and gave her a kiss on her forehead, "You don't want me to leave, do you?"
Adrienne nodded and snorted softly, "Yeah."
Jefferson pulled her onto his lap and buried his head into her neck.
She had just taken a shower, so the scent of shampoo and shower gel lingered on her body. It was subtle, but it smelled nice. He couldn't help but say, "Adrienne, who are you trying to seduce, smelling so nice?"
