Chapter 1898
Chapter 1898
Adrienne was stunned at first, but when she realized that Jefferson was kissing her at the entrance of the Civil Bureau where there were a lot of passers- by, she pushed him with force. However, as if Jefferson's arms were made of steel, she couldn't even make him budge.
Not only was she not able to push Jefferson away, he even started to kiss her more intensely, to the point that Adrienne felt her tongue had gone borderline numb.
After who knew how long, Jefferson finally let go of Adrienne. She covered her mouth and stared at him, a blush on her face. "Mr. Hefner, how can you be this shameless?"
Smiling contentedly, Jefferson asked, "And how is kissing my wife a shameless thing?"
Adrienne was speechless.
She didn't want to argue with him, because she would always be on the losing end.
In the past, someone told her that when a couple were in a relationship, the one who liked the other more would surely be at a disadvantage. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
Looking at their relationship, even though Jefferson kept professing his love for her, he was still acting all high and mighty. He would always think of ways to bully her, which made her feel like she had never enjoyed the feeling of being liked by someone.
As she was thinking about it, Freya walked out of the lobby. Seeing that, Adrienne realized that she couldn't be bothered to argue with Jefferson anymore, so she hurriedly ran to Freya and greeted, "Freya..."
She didn't say anything but gave Freya a hearty hug.
Freya smiled and said, "You said you wanted to treat me to a delicious meal, right? Please lead the way."
"Yes! Let's go." When Adrienne was about to leave with Freya, Jefferson caught up. But before he could speak, Adrienne stopped him. "You stinky man, you aren't allowed to tag along today."
Jefferson was wordless.
He wasn't stinky though?
If he really was stinky, would she have bitten him so happily the night before?
Watching Adrienne and Freya getting into a taxi, Jefferson could only vent his anger on Freddy, who came out right after Freya. Seeing how dejected he looked, he punched him and said, "Look at what you have done."
In Freddy's hand was a paper with two strikingly eye- catching words printed on it - Divorce Certificate.
"Even though women are usually gentle, when it comes to dealing with things, they will never give anyone any room to maneuver," Jefferson cursed in a low voice.
Freddy's eyes were red. Seeing that he was about to cry, Jefferson slapped him on the shoulder and advised, "Hey, what's done is done, there's no point being upset now, right?"
A tear trickled from the corner of Freddy's eye. "Jefferson, I'm the same as you. I've also set my eyes on one woman many years ago. Our families had a relatively good background, and we were able to do whatever we're set to do. But Freya said that her dream is not to become a successful businesswoman, and she didn't want me to involve myself in her parent's circle either. She believed that the most important thing for us was to live freely."
"So we gave up the opportunity to work in the city that everyone was envious of. We built houses in the suburbs, planted all kinds of flowers and raised all kinds of animals, and even opened a farmhouse. We also welcome our good friends to come have fun with us. In recent years, life was quite exhausting, but we were very happy. I always thought that we could continue to live a simple and happy life together, but never had I expected..."
Freddy's hand that was holding the divorce certificate was trembling, and another drop of tear dripped onto the certificate. "I've completely lost her this time. She doesn't want me anymore..."
Jefferson glared at him and said, "You're a grown up man. Don't cry like a baby because of a woman. Man up, will you?"
Jefferson could say such words because he was not the one who was suffering such misfortune. However, upon thinking of how he had lived in the past years, constantly following Adrienne around like her tail, he couldn't say that he was any better than Freddy.
Freddy wanted to refute him by asking what he would do if Adrienne divorced him?
But he guessed that Jefferson might even blow the earth up if he actually were to ask him that.
"Do you have that woman's contact?" Jefferson asked.
Freddy replied, "Which woman?"
Jefferson cut a glance at Freddy and asked, "Who else can it be?"
"I don't even know her." Freddy quickly sorted out his emotions. "After she showed up at my house last night, Freya started arguing with me. How on earth would I have the time and heart to bother about that woman?"
"Try to find her and figure out what's going on." Jefferson said, "Since you're so bloody sure that you've done nothing wrong to let Freya down, then try to find out if the baby in that woman's belly is yours or not."
As long as he found that woman, he would be able to figure out whether there was someone plotting behind the scenes.
Upon hearing Jefferson's words, Freddy seemed to have seen a glimmer of hope. "Okay, I'll come up with a way to find that woman."
Jefferson replied, "She went to your farm, yes? And if I recall correctly, your farm has a surveillance system, right? Get a screenshot of her face and send it to me. I'll find her even if I have to dig three feet down."
As a man in his twenties, how could Freddy have fallen into a woman's trap? Jefferson became furious at the thought of it, and he really wanted to kick that useless guy to death.
Adrienne and Freya took a taxi to a famous shopping mall in Chatterton Town.
For peculiar beings such as women, the best way to heal their hearts was to go on a shopping spree.
The first floor was the cosmetics and skin care department. Freya directly entered the store of the brand she commonly used.
She was a regular customer and all the staff there knew her, which was why someone greeted her warmly as soon as she entered the door, "Miss Langham, the Caviar Essence that was out of stock for a few months is finally back in stock. We were just about to call you, but you're here already."
"Give me 5 of that, as well as three sets of everything. I'll pay first, and ask someone to collect them on my behalf later." Freya suddenly realized something as she was speaking, her eyes suddenly
darkened. "Do you guys deliver?"
She used to only need to choose the product she'd wanted to buy, and Freddy would pay the bill and pick up whatever she'd bought. At that time, he had also said that he was willing to serve her for his entire lifetime, but his so- called "lifetime" ended up being such a short amount of time. What a joke.
"Miss Langham, please leave your address here and well send them over to you once we've finished packing them up." Generally speaking, they wouldn't deliver goods to normal customers, but for a regular customer such as Freya who would purchase thousands of dollars worth of skin care at a time, they had no reason to not deliver the products to her.
One of the staff looked at Adrienne and said, "Would this lady like to choose a set, too?"
Adrienne had always thought that her skin was relatively good, so she thought there was no need to spend so much on expensive products. The price of a set of skin care from that brand would cost nearly 3,000 dollars, and a working class like her wouldn't be able to afford it. However, the main purpose of going out to shop that day was to accompany Freya and make her happy. She couldn't possibly drop the ball at the last minute, so she secretly gritted her teeth and said, "I'll take one too."
Freya said, "Adrienne, one of the three sets I bought is for you, you don't need to buy anymore."
Adrienne said, "Freya, you don't have to give it to me. I'll buy it myself. Since we came out to shop, you can't be the only one having a good time spending money, right?"
Although her heart felt like it was bleeding, she still didn't want to spend Freya's money. She wished that Jefferson would return her savings to her, but she knew that it was impossible. Perhaps if she went to claim the money from Jefferson later that night, he might even charge her for what had happened the night before
Lust was indeed the root of ₐ|| ₕₐᵣₘ! Adrienne cursed inwardly.
