My Husband, Warm The Bed

Chapter 1875

"No, I'm not." Adrienne pushed her glasses up the bridge of her nose and commented, "My vision is getting a little blurry. I think I need to find time to get another pair of glasses."

"I'll go with you tomorrow." Jefferson reached out his hand to take her glasses off. "You always keep your glasses on and often bury yourself in work, that's why your power has increased so quickly. Don't wear the glasses anymore. I'll be your eyes tonight."

"No..." As soon as the glasses were taken off, the whole world immediately went blur. Adrienne didn't like this feeling. She wanted to take back the glasses but Jefferson raised his hand and held it high in the sky, avoiding her with no effort. "Little Specky, I'm here by your side. What are you afraid of?"

Adrienne pouted her lips and cried out, "I can't see clearly. I feel insecure."

Jefferson replied in an overbearing manner. 'TH make you feel safe. You have to get used to not wearing glasses."

Adrienne refused to give in. "It's not like I don't have the money to get new glasses. Why do I have to get used to it?" "What if your glasses break one day and you can't wear them? What if I'm not by your side? What will you do?" It was unknown why Jefferson was insisting on her not wearing the glasses all of a sudden. However, his persistence made Adrienne overcome the fear of not wearing glasses. Later, in a sudden incident, Adrienne was able to escape unscathed because of this.

"How could there be so many 'what ifs'..." Adrienne was extremely reluctant to do so, but she couldn't say no. "Why are you so bossy? You don't even let me wear glasses."

If she remembered it correctly, he didn't like it when she didn't wear glasses when they went out in the past. But now, he was forcing her to take off her glasses. She thought that Jefferson was behaving strangely. It felt like she no longer understood him.

In fact, she did not know how beautiful she looked without her glasses. Jefferson didn't want other people to covet her beauty so he would insist on her wearing glasses.

However, the situation was different now. She was Jefferson's wife. It was fine for other people to look at her. She belonged to him alone, so it was not a big deal for others to look at her.

"I have always been like this. What's the big deal for being bossy this time round?" Adrienne gritted her teeth as she listened to his words. At that instant, she really wanted to bite him to remind him that she was not a woman to be trifled with.

Seeing her gritting her teeth, Jefferson rubbed her head with a smile and coaxed, "Don't dawdle. Go get changed quickly. It'll be daybreak if you keep dawdling."

Adrienne argued, "Give me back my glasses. I'll give it back after I change my clothes. Is that okay?"

"Just get changed. I'll keep an eye on it for you." Jefferson insisted on not returning the glasses to her.

Adrienne was so angry that she stomped her feet. She turned around and went to the locker room to get changed. However, when she had just taken a step, both of their mobile phones rang at the same time. They exchanged looks and answered the calls respectively. After a while, both of them replied at the same time, "I'll be there right away."

After hanging up, Adrienne turned around to pick up the crime scene kit as she uttered, "There's a new case. Let's go over now."

Looking at the dark circles under her eyes which appeared because she hadn't rested well for days, Jefferson was distressed. He stepped forward and held her in his arms tightly. He really wanted to tell her, "Don't think about work anymore! Let's go home and have a good rest."

However, Jefferson couldn't say so. He put on the glasses for her and patted her back. "Let's go!"

Phoenix Hill was a famous sight-seeing spot in the northern part of the Paramount Area. There was a river named Phoenix River which flowed into the sea. This sight- seeing spot was just outside the city and could be easily accessed by various transportation, hence attracting many tourists, especially on weekends.

The case took place at Phoenix River, at the foot of Phoenix Hill.

Two environmental workers reported the case. When they were cleaning up the garbage in the river, they saw a floating body. They pulled the body up and found that the woman was already dead.

The cleaner recognized the deceased. She was Shermaine Campbell, a 23 years old young lady who worked at the ticketing counter at Phoenix Hill.

It hadn't been long since Shermaine started working at Phoenix Hill after graduating from college. She was good- looking and attracted much attention. She stole the limelight of the prettiest woman at Phoenix Hill, Myra Jerry. The unmarried male employees were all interested in her, which included Myra's boyfriend, Sibyl Gibson.

Myra was very dissatisfied with Shermaine. Some of the employees heard that they quarreled the day before. During the argument, Myra even mentioned that she would kill Shermaine...

When Jefferson arrived at the scene with Adrienne, a group of investigators reported the information they had collected to Jefferson. Jefferson looked around the scene as he listened to the report. While inspecting the scene, he ordered, "Talk to the suspects immediately."

Adrienne was the first to approach Shermaine's body and confirmed that she was dead. However, since she was found in the water, it was difficult to determine the time of death based on the surface of the body.

There were no obvious fatal injuries on the body's surface, but there were abrasions on the back of the clothes and several scars on the back. They must have formed when the body was being dragged on the ground.

However, those were not fatal injuries and there weren't any other injuries on the body that Adrienne could examine. At present, she could not tell whether the victim was already dead before being pushed into the river or that she had drowned. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Adrienne had to conduct further tests to determine whether it was a homicide or an accident.

The forensics had not even come out with a conclusion, but the on-lookers around had begun to argue irresistibly, "Myra is a ruthless woman. She just said that she would kill Shermaine, and she's dead now. Women are scary."

Someone continued, "Myra killed her and dumped her body into the river to create an illusion that she had drowned. She's cruel but smart, and it's scary. Just thinking about the years we have been working together sent chills down my spine. I hope the police will arrest her and give her a death sentence so that she can't harm anyone."

There was no evidence to prove whether the victim had died due to an accident or that she was murdered, but the on-lookers were already asking for Myra to be given the death sentence. Such statements made Adrienne frowned. She wanted to stop them, but that was not how she would usually handle things.

At this moment, Adrienne heard Jefferson's voice, "What nonsense are you talking about? The police haven't discovered anything, but you guys have already settled the case. Why don't you guys handle the case instead? You can even tell the judge who you think the killer is. Then you can request for the death sentence as well."

The on-lookers were speechless.

Then, Jefferson directed the investigators, "Since they have so much to say, make sure you get their statements too."

Jefferson's tone was still as overbearing as before, but it sounded delightful in Adrienne's ears. It was simply the most pleasant voice in the world, which made her mood better.
