My Husband, Warm The Bed

Chapter 1744

"I wish I could finish her off!" Jefferson thought.

He really had the urge to do so, but how could he live if she was dead?

He couldn't beat her up nor scold her, but he could escape.

Jefferson turned to the bathroom, and unexpectedly, Adrienne followed him. He stopped and looked at her with an eyebrow raised. "Little Specky, what do you think you're doing?"

"Jefferson, I thought about it last night. Quill is not a man without principles. He would never let you go before he has evidence to prove that you were not the murderer." While taking care of Jefferson the previous night, Adrienne kept thinking about the case of the headless corpses over and over again.

Jefferson's family was powerful, but in the face of such a huge case, it wouldn't matter even if they were gods...

"Do you want to know the reason?" Jefferson asked. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

Adrienne nodded. "Of course.'

"Then wait and see. I'll show you with my actions." Jefferson took off his clothes in front of Adrienne. Adrienne was so taken aback that she quickly turned around and spoke, "Mr. Hefner, I'm asking you something important. Can you be more serious?"

"Taking a shower is the most important thing to me right now." Jefferson took off the last remaining article of clothing on his body and added, "If you really want to know why, come and take a bath with me."

"You pervert!" Adrienne could not continue talking to him anymore, so she stormed back to her room. She knew that she could not get an answer from Jefferson; she had to ask Quill.

She then called Quill. His attitude towards her was much warmer than usual. He greeted, "Adrienne, why are you calling me so early in the morning today?"

"Sergeant Scott, I want to know why you let Jefferson go yesterday."

"Adrienne, although we found him at the crime scene yesterday, we have enough evidence to prove that he is not the murderer. Naturally, I had to release him."

Adrienne asked again, "What evidence?"

"By the way, Adrienne, Jefferson is not the murderer, so you don't have to stay off the case anymore. You and Zelson have been working on this case since the beginning anyway. Come back soon and get to work." Quill was clearly unwilling to tell the truth. Adrienne had no choice but to say goodbye and hung up the phone.

Although she still did not know how Jefferson proved his innocence, at least she could go back to work. This was good news to her.

"Little Specky, what are you thinking about again?"

Jefferson's voice suddenly rang behind her. Adrienne turned back and saw Jefferson standing in front of her naked. She was so shocked that she quickly covered her eyes and scolded, "Jefferson, we are both adults here. Have some shame, won't you?"

"You're right. You and I are both adults, and you've already slept with me. You've already seen everything, so why do I still need to dress neatly in front of you?"

Adrienne didn't know how to respond.

She felt like she couldn't breathe.

"Well, I'm heading out now. You can take a nap. I'll take you out for a good meal when I get back tonight," Jefferson said.

"There's no need for that. I can eat on my own," Adrienne rejected him directly.

Jefferson was slowly putting on his clothes. "Did I give you a choice?"

"All right, forget what I said." Adrienne finally gave in.

"It's not like I don't know his temper. Why did I bother talking back?" she thought to herself.

As soon as Jefferson left, Adrienne got ready quickly and headed down to the station.

As a new person had taken over Adrienne's work, things were a bit chaotic for a moment. While Zelson was wondering where to vent his anger, Adrienne showed up like his savior. "Vann, hand the case of the headless female corpses back to Adrienne. You should focus on your own case."

"Okay, okay!" Vann Leopold, Adrienne's colleague, pulled Adrienne aside. They talked as they walked, "Adrienne, thank God you didn't get suspended."

Adrienne drew back her hand gently. "It's not like this is the first time we're taking over someone else's cases. Why are you acting like the sky is falling?"

"It's not the case that's the issue, it's Dr. Jacob." Vann looked around and confirmed that no one was around before continuing, "Since I came back yesterday, he's been treating me poorly."

"What did he do?" Adrienne thought about the situation when she saw Zelson earlier on. "Isn't Dr. Jacob always like this? He is always the same to everyone. No one knows what's going on in his mind."

"Who said Dr. Jacob is the same to everyone? He treats you completely differently. Didn't you see his slight smile when you returned?"

"Dr-Dr. Jacob treats me differently?" Adrienne thought about it. Maybe it was because of her mother.

"Didn't you notice?" Vann looked at Adrienne like she was stupid. How could she not have known when it was so obvious?

"Hey, come on now..." Adrienne really hadn't noticed, but when she thought of her mother, she felt a little guilty. "Stop with the nonsense. Hand over the case to me quickly."

"The autopsy report is out, but nothing is useful still." Vann handed the report to Adrienne and added, "Dr. Jacob already saw the report. He asked you to take it to Sergeant Scott."

"Okay, I'll go now." Adrienne took the report and went to Quill in a hurry. Not only did she want to hand over the report to Quill, but she was also still persistent in trying to get information from him.

When she passed by Zelson's office, Zelson suddenly called out to her, "Adrienne, come into my office after you hand over the report."

"Okay, Mr. Zelson."

There was still no progress with the headless female corpses case. Quill just came back from a meeting with his superiors, and his expression looked gloomy. It was clear that his superiors had just reprimanded him.

Since it was he who hadn't been able to crack the case, no matter how the superiors scolded him, he could not refute.

At this moment, when he came back and bumped into Adrienne, his facial expression changed quickly. "Adrienne, delivering a report?"

"The latest autopsy report." Adrienne handed the report to Quill and asked, "Sergeant Scott, what happened with Jefferson? Can you tell me?"

If Quill didn't want to say something, no one would be able to pry it out of him. "Adrienne, Adrienne, my lovely Adrienne. You're close to Mr. Jefferson, aren't you? Why don't you ask him yourself? Stop making things difficult for me."

Adrienne denied, "I am not close to him." "You're not close to him?" Quill made a casual gesture. "Then yesterday when he... Oh, just pretend I didn't say anything. I didn't see anything."

Adrienne's face turned red due to embarrassment, but she still tried her best to be professional. "Sergeant Scott, many people saw Jefferson covered with blood yesterday. He was our top suspect."

Quill looked at Adrienne and questioned doubtfully, "Adrienne, you're oddly worried about him. You even protected him on the scene yesterday. Why have you become so suspicious of him today?"
