My Husband, Warm The Bed

Chapter 1956

"What did he do?" asked Jefferson as his face darkened, his eyes glared with hatred.

"Where is he now? I'll deal with him."

"What do you mean 'what did he do'? And what do you mean by you will deal with him? Why are you always so impertinent when you speak? Don't tell me that you and Adrienne have never quarreled before?" Everyone in the family thought that she and Johan were together because they loved each other. However, no one knew how they truly got along all these while. If any of her family members found out the truth, they would definitely cause a scene, especially Jefferson.

Sierra didn't want to cause any trouble nor did she want to expose her wounds in plain sight. She didn't want anyone to pity her and sympathize with her so she was constantly scrambling for excuses. She'd woven so many lies that even she herself was starting to believe in them.

"We do, but I never bully her for real. At least I wouldn't let her go to the airport by herself this late at night to pick someone up." The more he said, the less confident he felt. If he truly was a good husband, he wouldn't be completely clueless of her whereabouts just then.

Sierra continued to make up lies, not knowing if she was lying to Jefferson or herself. "Johan isn't home, that's all. If he was, he wouldn't have let me come here by myself for sure."

Jefferson spread his arms and gave Sierra a hug. "You two can fight and get mad at each other but make sure you two sit down and have a good chat after you've cooled down. Don't go hiding somewhere so that he can't find you. No matter where you go, make sure to give him a heads up."

"Holy, you're all grown up now, huh? It seems like it's true that men change after they get married." Sierra smiled, but she felt bitter in her heart. If she really did hide herself, Johan would probably wake up with a smile on his face; he will never go looking for her at all.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Stop laughing at me," said Jefferson as he glared at her.

Sierra led him to the parking lot and asked, "Oh, yeah, does Grandpa know that you're here?"

Jefferson shook his head and said, "It's too late so I decided not to tell him. I'll surprise him tomorrow morning."

"He's been going on and on about you everyday, hoping that you would come to the capital to see him. He would be over the moon about your arrival." Sierra's smile was much more sincere when she spoke of Maxwell.

No matter how much grievances she had suffered outside, her family would never feel to warm the cockles of her heart. Especially when it came to her grandfather who had always doted on his grandchildren and treated them like treasure.

"I'm honored to be able to bring him happiness." After his recent experiences, Jefferson began to realize how precious life was, not to mention how important it was to spend more time with his elders.

One's birth is the start of one's journey toward death; as they grew older, the closer they were to death. Maxwell was now more than eighty years old at that point. How many more days did they have left to spend with him? Jefferson knew that clearly, and that he should really cherish any remaining time he had left with Maxwell.

"Oh, by the way, didn't you say that you would bring Adrienne along to meet Grandpa? Why didn't she come with you?"

"Let's not talk about that little idiot. It just makes by blood boil." At the mention of Adrienne, Jefferson was furious. He was mad at her for leaving him behind, and he swore that he would teach her a lesson the moment he found her.

"What happened?" Jefferson and Sierra got into the car as they spoke. Sierra started the car while looking at Jefferson and continued, "Weren't you giving me advice just moments ago? But why can't you think things through when it comes to your own matters?"

Jefferson snapped and answered, "She's gone."

Looking at his ferocious look, Sierra knew that he had suffered tremendously from the matter regarding Adrienne. "Where did she go?"

Jefferson shook his head and replied, "I don't know."

"Adrienne is not a capricious person. Why would she leave all of a sudden, and even without telling you where she went?"

Jefferson replied, "Something happened recently, and it's been a big blow to her."

"Did you do something to upset her?" At that thought, Sierra's temper started rising too. "Jefferson, it's fine for you to be a little unreasonable and domineering at times. But if you dare to do anything that would hurt her, not only will Adrienne not forgive you, neither will I."

"What on earth are you talking about?"

Jefferson could not understand why women would always veer toward that direction. Couldn't they just expand their minds and look at the bigger picture?

"You'd better not do anything to her, or I won't let you off the hook." Sierra glanced at Jefferson and said, "So could you tell me what happened between you two?"

"Her father didn't die," Jefferson explained.

"Sheridan is still alive?" The news made Sierra's scalp turn numb. "Then who was the one who died two years ago? Did someone tamper with the DNA report back then?"

After understanding the entire situation from Jefferson, Sierra's hackles were raised. "Sheridan is such a jerk! That woman was his wife whom he shared the same bed with for so many years. How could he do such a thing?"

"Had he even the slightest bit of humanity in him, he wouldn't have done that to her," replied Jefferson.

Sierra suddenly understood why Adrienne had run away. It was indeed something unacceptable to anyone. "It seems that she had suffered a great blow this time. Make sure you get a psychiatrist to help her."

"In fact, I've gotten in touch with one on the day she ran away from home. But it was only when I got home that I found out she was gone." Although Jefferson was worried about Adrienne, he felt mostly anger because she had left him behind. If she could leave him that time, was she going to file for a divorce because of some other things in the future? That thought made Jefferson feel extremely uneasy.

"I believe you should at least have some clues about her whereabouts, no?"

"How did you know?"

"If you weren't sure that she was safe, would you even think of visiting Grandpa? Others may not know you, but I definitely do."

"You really do know me best, Sierra."

"If Adrienne wants some time alone, just leave her be. When the time is right, we'll get a psychiatrist involved and help to guide her. I think that would be best for her."

"Thanks, Sierra!" Jefferson reached out and patted Sierra on the shoulder. "We have so many kind relatives and friends around us. Adrienne will definitely be able to get through these tough times and walk towards a brighter future with me."

"Yeah, I'm sure of it." Sierra smiled.

Everyone had a future to look forward to, but what about hers and Johan's?
