My Husband, Warm The Bed

Chapter 1776

Adrienne had to stop working on the case and she had not yet recovered from the blow. The next moment, she received a call from Eunice. "Adrienne, I am back in Chatterton Town. Are you busy today?"

Before Adrienne responded, Eunice continued, "Even if you are busy, you have to accompany me for a meal. After all, you are my best friend."

Adrienne had mixed feelings. Nevertheless, she smiled and replied, "Eunice, I happen to be free today. Where is the location? I'll go there in advance."

Eunice chuckled. "We'll have lunch at Bruce's restaurant. Freddy, Freya, and Tommy will be there soon. You and Jefferson are the only ones left. Please help me to relay the message to Jefferson and tell him the time and venue."

"This..." Adrienne didn't want to talk to Jefferson, but she could not refuse. She had to bite the bullet and nodded. "Well, then I will call him and ask if he has time."

Eunice said, "Okay, thank you."

Adrienne smiled. "It's not a big deal, Eunice.

Don't sweat on it!"

After the call with Eunice, Adrienne found Jefferson's number and hesitated for a while. In the end, she still made the call and Jefferson's voice soon rang, "What's up?"

Adrienne paused for a while and asked, "Are you free at noon?"

"Do you already miss me in such a short time?" Jefferson teased with a smile.

Adrienne shook her head. "Eunice invited you to join us for lunch together at noon." Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Jefferson cursed, "F*ck!"

Adrienne frowned in disgust. "Just say it if you can't make it. Can't you talk nicely? Cursing every time you speak is detrimental to your image, Mr. Hefner."

"You little idiot!" Jefferson yelled. He was not in a good mood.

Adrienne was angry too. "I'm hanging up!"

"Don't hang up. I haven't finished speaking yet," Jefferson stopped her sternly. "She called me and I told her that I'm not free at noon. Now she's asking you to tell me. Does she have too much time on her hands?"

Adrienne gasped in realization, "Oh!"

It turned out that Jefferson was furious over this. Adrienne suddenly thought that he was slightly adorable even when he was angry.

"Tell her that I'm not free," Jefferson responded.

Adrienne acknowledged with a simple, "Oh."

"Can't you say anything else except the word 'oh'?" Jefferson mocked.

Adrienne questioned, "What are you busy with?"

"It's none of your business." Jefferson changed the subject and added, "Don't eat at the canteen for lunch. I'll go to you later and take you out for a delicious meal."

Adrienne was stunned. "Didn't you say you aren't going to be free at noon?"

Jefferson replied, "I don't have time to have lunch with her, but I have plenty of time to accompany you."

Adrienne argued, "But I promised Eunice to have lunch with them at noon. I can only refuse your appointment."

Jefferson scolded again, "Idiot!"

He decisively ended the call, which left Adrienne confused again.

Because Adrienne had just examined a corpse, she drove home to take a bath. After changing into clean clothes, she drove to the appointed place for lunch.

Bruce's restaurant was located in Paramount Area, not far from Adrienne's residence. It was a ten- minute drive. She arrived early; the rest had not shown up yet.

"Adrienne, you're here." Seeing Adrienne, Bruce instinctively looked behind her and did not see the person he had expected to see. He was curious and asked, "Didn't Jefferson come with you?"

Adrienne answered, "He mentioned that he is busy at noon."

"You are here, but he's not. This situation is rare." Knowing that Jefferson was not around, Bruce opened his arms and gave Adrienne a hug. "Visit me often, I won't charge you."

Adrienne giggled. "It's because you don't charge me that I'm embarrassed to come often."

Bruce led Adrienne to the private room as he said, "We grew up together. You don't have to feel embarrassed about such a matter."

"What about me?" While speaking, a beautiful woman wearing a white dress stood at the door of the restaurant. She asked in a clear voice, "Adrienne, Bruce, it's been a long time since we last met.

Have you missed me?"

Bruce turned back and saw Eunice. He hurriedly greeted her, "I just told Adrienne that we grew up together. How can I not miss you?"

Eunice chortled. "Bruce, you are as eloquent as ever."

Adrienne smiled and welcomed Eunice, "Eunice, we haven't met in ages!"

Eunice stepped forward and pulled Adrienne into an embrace. "Two years. We haven't seen each other for about two years, right? I miss you so much."

Adrienne pouted, "I miss you too."

Bruce pretended to be angry. "Eunice, you didn't give me a hug, nor did you say you miss me."

Eunice coaxed him, "I miss you all. I definitely think of you more than you think of me."

They talked and laughed as they walked into the private room. Tommy, Freddy, and Freya arrived soon. They exchanged greetings. Tommy, who didn't know that Jefferson was busy, looked at Adrienne and questioned, "Adrienne, why isn't Jefferson here?"

The person who organized the gathering was Eunice, not Adrienne. Why was everyone asking her about Jefferson?

Before Adrienne could answer, Tommy asked Eunice, "Eunice, did you forget to invite

Jefferson?"

Eunice smiled awkwardly and turned her eyes to Adrienne. Adrienne learned from Jefferson that Eunice had called him in person, but she didn't reveal it. She was about to explain when the door

was suddenly pushed open. Unsurprisingly, Jefferson's tall figure appeared at the door of the room. "What soup are you serving this noon?"

He was asking the waiter standing behind him.

Adrienne did not have the mood to listen to the waiter's answer. Her eyes fell on Jefferson and she was a little irritated.

Didn't Jefferson say he wouldn't come?

Why was he here?

Fortunately, he came right before she explained that he was busy and could not attend. Otherwise, others would have thought that she had not informed him.

"Jefferson, we are all here. Of course you'll come." It was Freddy who spoke. In fact, what he wanted to say was Jefferson would attend as Adrienne was here. However, he did not have the courage.

The others greeted him, "Jefferson."

Jefferson nodded as a response, and then looked at Bruce on the left side of Adrienne.

Eunice sat on the left side of the main seat, while Adrienne sat on the left side of Eunice. The main seat was empty and a set of tableware was laid there. Obviously, it was prepared for Jefferson.

However, Jefferson did not appreciate it at all. He shot a sharp glance at Bruce who was sitting on the left side of Adrienne. After receiving the dangerous signal, Bruce immediately got up and sat at the main seat, leaving the seat next to Adrienne empty. Only then did Jefferson sit down beside Adrienne with satisfaction.
