My Husband, Warm The Bed

Chapter 1912

"I..." Freddy was not an impulsive person, but when it came to the woman he loved, all rationality flew out of the window.

When Freddy woke up that morning and heard that Freya was taken to the police station, he devolved into a mess of panic and anxiety. He rushed over right away without a second thought.

Freddy and Jefferson had been friends for over twenty years. At that moment, he could not wrap his mind around the fact that Jefferson, the head of the Paramount Criminal Police Team, had failed to notify him about what was happening to Freya. With that thought in mind, Freddy made the decision to go and confront Jefferson face to face.

However, after he arrived, Freddy meekly shrunk back from chiding Jefferson upon seeing his overbearing demeanor. All he asked was, "Jefferson, how is Freya right now?"

Jefferson stared at him and said coldly, "She will be detained for the time being."

"Freya wouldn't murder anyone! She definitely wouldn't!" When Freddy heard Jefferson's reply, his anxiety spiked once again. If it had been anyone else, he would have rushed towards them and beat them up. However, it was Jefferson who he was speaking to. Beating him up? What a joke. Freddy would be cowering and backing up against the wall.

It had only been two days since Florence showed up, but Freddy had lost a lot of weight within that short period of time. The stubble on his face added years to his appearance, making him look pitiful.

Freddy took a long while to calm down. Then, he pleaded, "Jefferson, could you please let me see Freya?"

"No!" Jefferson refused decisively. "Freya is our main suspect right now. As long as she isn't cleared of suspicion, she's only allowed to meet her lawyer."

"Jefferson, we grew up together. Does our friendship mean nothing to you..." If Jefferson really didn't care about their friendship, he would've already thrown Freddy out of the station. It was not difficult to notice the meaning behind Jefferson's words and actions. Fortunately, as they were childhood buddies, Freddy came to a realization after his panic over Freya. "I'll go and find the best lawyer in Chatterton Town right now."

Freddy left immediately. While he was leaving, he met Adrienne, who was on her way to see

Jefferson. Adrienne greeted him, "Freddy..." "You're here too, Adrienne." Freddy stopped in his tracks and grabbed Adrienne's hands, saying, "Since Freya is now in custody, can you please visit her in my stead? Tell her that I believe in her, and I will wait for her."

Adrienne wished she could convey the message on Freddy's behalf, but she was not in the position right then to do so. "Freddy, listen to me. I'm a forensic doctor so I can only see her at work; I won't be able to meet her in private. You know that we're close. If I meet her privately, someone with evil intentions might seize that opportunity to make a huge fuss over it. It will nullify the evidence collected that is beneficial to her."

Freddy pleaded, "But, Adrienne..."

Jefferson came over and took Adrienne's hand out of Freddy's grip. He spoke, "We're here. Why are you still worried that Freya will be mistreated while the investigation is pending?"

That was not what Freddy meant, of course, but he still couldn't help but worry. "Jefferson, I'm concerned about Freya. You know her. She became a suspect in a murder case despite not doing anything. She must be furious. There's no one by her side taking care of her. What if she does something in a fit of rage? How can I live with myself if that happens?"

Jefferson glared at him. "So do you think of Adrienne and I as 'no one'?"

Freddy fell silent.

Jefferson continued, "Go and do what you need to."

Freddy nodded. He did not dare delay matters anymore, so he hurriedly went to look for a lawyer.

Adrienne looked at his diminishing figure and said worriedly, "I'll give Bruce and the others a call and ask them to keep Freddy company. We can't afford any mistakes at a crucial time like this. Otherwise, Freya will be the one to suffer the consequences."

"You!" Jefferson poked Adrienne's head. "Your brain is finally working normally."

Adrienne tilted her head to avoid his jab and said with a pout, "We're at work. I'm a forensic doctor and you're the head of the criminal investigation team. Watch what you say and do." Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

"No matter where we are, you will always be my little idiot, and I'll always be your man," Jefferson said, laughing.

Adrienne was at a loss for words.

Disregarding their surroundings, Jefferson pulled Adrienne into his arms and pressed his chin on top of her head, rubbing against it with force. "After solving this case, let's go on a honeymoon."

Honeymoon?

Adrienne was confident that she didn't mishear what he said. She was equally confident that Jefferson didn't misspeak either. How could he have his mind on something like that at that point in time? Adrienne grew irritated and broke free from his embrace. "Jefferson, we're at work right now. How can you think about these things when Freya is still in detention?"

"I know what I'm doing." Jefferson pulled her back into his embrace and took a deep whiff of the scent of her hair. He loved her faint fragrance the most, but what he said was, "Why do you smell so bad?"

"What? Really?" Adrienne quickly sniffed herself. She had a slight smell of disinfectant on her body, but it was not that bad. She then heard Jefferson saying, "You smell like corpses."

Adrienne pushed him away. "Since you dislike how I smell, then stay far away from me."

Seeing her face had turned red from indignation, Jefferson was amused. "That's why we need to take some time off to relax. We can't be burying ourselves in work every single day, right? Otherwise, no one will dare to approach you anymore in the future."

Adrienne was speechless.

Jefferson was the one who wanted to have fun, but he had the audacity to use her as an excuse. How annoying.

Jefferson hugged Adrienne again, and simultaneously shot a warning look at those who were gaping at them. After they made the sensible choice to leave, he lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead. "Promise me."

Adrienne knew Jefferson's temper very well. If she did not agree to the promise, he would definitely pester her until she did. Since the final result would always be the same, she didn't want to waste time dilly-dallying.

After thinking about it, Adrienne found an excuse. "Only a few people know that we're married and we haven't had a wedding either. The honeymoon can wait."

"We need to prepare for our wedding properly. That will take some time," Jefferson answered. He didn't want their once-in-a-lifetime wedding to be simple and rushed. As for the honeymoon, they

could just go on another honeymoon as they pleased. In truth, he just wanted to spend time with her, with no one else around them and no need to worry about work. He asked, "Who do you want to announce our marriage to?"

"Freddy, Freya, Bruce and Tommy." Besides these childhood friends of hers, Adrienne did not have any other close friends who she could share the good news to.

Jefferson queried again, "They already know about it, right?"

Adrienne was taken aback.

When she really thought about it, that was indeed the case.

The friends who she wanted to share the good news with the most already knew about it. What a lousy excuse did she come up with. It seemed that she really had to take some time off to go on a honeymoon with Jefferson.

Jefferson said, "That's settled then."

Adrienne butted in, "But I..."

"I'm informing you, not asking for your opinion,"

Jefferson replied.
