"Okay, okay. It's all right now. Let's go back first." Adrienne smiled sweetly at the sight of Jefferson's anxiety-ridden face. He couldn't be mad at such a sweet face, right? "You idiot, you really are heartless." Jefferson gave Adrienne a fierce look and poked her forehead. "When will you start using your brain to think?" Earlier on, if she had made any wrong move, she could have lost her life. She had just escaped such a dangerous situation, yet she acted as if nothing happened. Jefferson wished he could tie Adrienne to himself with a rope. That way, he could protect her 24/7. Adrienne swiped his hand away angrily and scolded, "Jefferson, stop poking my forehead all the time. If you keep doing that, you're going to make a hole in my skull." Looking at her extremely silly and cute appearance, Jefferson found it annoying but hilarious at the same time. "If I don't poke you, you will never become smarter."  Adrienne never considered herself stupid. "

Had Adrienne misunderstood Jefferson? Could it be that he hadn't told his parents about their marriage? But if his family didn't know, why would they prepare Adrienne's favorite dishes the night before? She was so familiar with the taste of those dishes, hence she knew it was made by Britney. Just as Adrienne was busy being confused, Albert spoke again, "Adrienne, Madam Yard has always loved you as if you are her daughter." "Mr. Albert, I know that your family is very kind to me." Adrienne knew how well Madam Yard treated her, but it was odd for Albert to suddenly bring it up. "Mr. Albert, if you have something to say, please say it." Adrienne might be ignorant about the ways of the world, but she was not stupid. She had never been in personal contact with Albert. He must have something he wanted to talk to her about since he came looking for her. "It's not a big deal." He raised his glass and took a sip of tea, and then said slowly, "Although it's n

"Mr. Hodge, say something." Jefferson took out a packet of cigarettes from the pile of gifts and waved it in front of Hodge. "I'm giving you this behind Little Specky's back. You hold on to it and don't let Little Specky confiscate it before you get to smoke it." "Little Specky doesn't allow me to smoke for my health. Are you trying to get me to die earlier by buying cigarettes for me?" Although Hodge said so, he grabbed the pack from Jefferson's hand and hid it under his pillow. "Other people give me a whole carton but you are so stingy that you only give me one pack." "I know you're a long-time smoker. If you don't smoke, I'm sure you'll get agitated. I bought you a pack to satisfy your cravings," said Jefferson with a smile. "Don't hope for any more though. If Little Specky finds out, she'll break up with me for sure." With cigarettes in hand, Hodge was wholly focused on it. He looked around and whispered, "You bad boy, smoking isn't allowed in the ward. You've suc

Work was light that day. Adrienne rushed to the hospital to visit Hodge after work. However, no one was in the ward. She went over next door to ask the patient who was close to Hodge, but he had no idea where he was either. When Adrienne was about to find a doctor and nurse, Jefferson came back with Hodge. Adrienne quickly came up to support Hodge and asked worriedly, "Grandpa, are you not feeling well?"  Before Hodge could open his mouth, she noticed a cigarette smell on him. She instantly knew what was going on. "Grandpa, you smoked secretly again. How many times have I told you that smoking is bad for your health? Even children know this. Why won't you listen to me?" Just a while ago, Jefferson had taken away Hodge's cigarettes, but he couldn't complain about it. At this moment, he was being scolded by Adrienne like a child. He felt extremely wronged at this instant. Hence, Hodge said aggrievedly, "I've quit smoking for quite a while now. Today, Jefferson bou

Adrienne didn't answer Jefferson. "Adrienne, Jefferson is right. No matter who takes advantage of you, you must tell us. I've got your back too." Britney just wanted to show Adrienne her sincerity. "Adrienne, I asked around and found out that the food at your workplace isn't that good. I'll send you lunch from home in the future, okay?"  Britney was a little too enthusiastic, which scared Adrienne. Adrienne was afraid that she would let Britney down. She didn't want to owe her. "Madam Yard, there's no need to do so." "My Queen, you know how special Little Specky's job is. If she's busy at noon, she won't have an appetite even if you send delicious food to her. You don't need to bother with that, but you can send us dinner instead so that we can eat it when we get home after work," Jefferson interjected. Although Britney really wanted to send lunches to Adrienne, she tried to be understanding about how they felt. "Then don't go out for dinner in the future. I'll
