Exercise More
In the future, if there were any women who lusted over Jefferson like Eunice, Adrienne would be able to assert herself as his wife and tell them openly, "Don't go having any improper thoughts about him. This man is mine. He belongs to me alone."
Yes, Jefferson belonged to her alone, both his heart and his body.
With that thought in mind, Adrienne's heart melted. She inched closer to Jefferson again, but this time, as soon as she moved, she was tightly embraced by Jefferson's strong arms.
In a languid and seductive voice, Jefferson drawled, "Baby, men can't hold themselves back in the morning. If you're not up for some exercise, then it's better if you don't move."
Adrienne's entire body stiffened.
She was startled.
She did not know when he had woken up.
Jefferson gave her the answer. "I woke up when you kissed me just now."
Adrienne did not speak.
Her face turned as red as a tomato.
Jefferson had been awake for a while, and he knew everything that she had done.
That man...
"And I think you should give me an explanation for that," Jefferson said lazily with a hint of a smile on his face. "How do you think we should deal with this matter?" Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
Adrienne shrank back like a tortoise and said guiltily, "At worst, I'll let you kiss me too."
He would definitely kiss her, but Jefferson didn't want to kiss her in secret, he wanted to kiss her out in the open.
After the long and passionate kiss, Adrienne felt that her lips were swollen again. However, Jefferson had no intention of letting her go. He asked, "Little Specky, do you love me?"
"I..." Did she love him? She probably did, right? Otherwise, why would she sneak a kiss on him? He was the only man who she had ever done that to.
However, the thing was, Adrienne never had the chance to be that intimate with other men in her life. She had never seen what other men looked like when they were asleep nor did she know if she would do the same thing if it was another man lying next to her.
"Adrienne Carter, you'd better think about it carefully before you answer." Jefferson rarely called her by her full name, but when he did, it would undoubtedly be in a precarious situation. If looks could kill, he would be a murderer.
Facing Jefferson, Adrienne's survival instinct kicked in strongly. She replied, "I love you! Of course I do!"
Jefferson did not believe in her insincere confession at all. Even though he knew that she was just pacifying him, he still wanted an affirmative answer from her. "Who do you love?"
Adrienne shrank back again. "Who else could it be?"
"Answer me," Jefferson said.
Adrienne was forced to say, "You!"
As soon as she said that, Adrienne's lips were once again assaulted by his. That was the punishment that she had to bear for being insincere.
Internally, Adrienne thought to herself that Jefferson had never been that wild in the past even though they had been sleeping together for a few months by then. It was only in recent days that he would... at the slightest thing...
After that, Adrienne's mind went blank. She could only go along with his lead.
As expected, Jefferson and Adrienne were going to be late for work.
Adrienne dragged her limp body around. As she changed into her clothes, she mumbled softly, "Freya's case is not a simple one, but you don't look worried at all, you even..."
She was too ashamed to continue her sentence.
It was still early in the morning, but Jefferson was like a feral beast who did not know how to restrain himself at all.
Adrienne pledged to herself to stay away from him from now on, especially in the mornings. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to handle her work if she was this exhausted every morning.
Then, Adrienne looked toward the man next to her!
Seeing that Jefferson was in high spirits, Adrienne was annoyed. She thought that it was really unfair.
Why was there such a huge difference between a man's and a woman's stamina?
Especially when it came to a man like Jefferson.
Jefferson smiled with satisfaction. "Good girl, we'll exercise more in the morning from now on so that your stamina will improve."
"You're shameless." It hadn't been long after they just finished 'exercising', and he was already thinking of doing it again. Was he an animal?
Jefferson said, "There are plenty of people who wake up early in the morning to jog and train their stamina. How was that shameless?"
"I..." It turned out that was what Jefferson was talking about. What on earth was she thinking about?
"Well, if you want to do other forms of exercise, I'll be willing to help." Jefferson approached her again. His expression was really... Adrienne was too embarrassed to describe it.
She picked up her coat and ran away in a panic.

As soon as they arrived at the Paramount Criminal Police Team headquarters, Adrienne's phone rang. She took it out and looked at it. It was from Zelson. She immediately answered, "Mr. Zelson, what can I do for you?"
"Can't I contact you anytime I like?" Zelson's calm and cool voice, as usual. Adrienne couldn't feel the supposed attraction to her that Jefferson had been talking about at all.
Adrienne immediately clarified, "Mr. Zelson, that's not what..."
Zelson interrupted her, saying, "I'm at Cloud Top Cafe. Can you come over?"
The Cloud Top Cafe was opposite the police station. It was no more than 500 meters away.
Adrienne was a little curious. Why didn't Zelson go directly to the station if he wanted to meet her? Was it because he was afraid of Jefferson?
She nodded. "Sure. I'll be right there."
After hanging up, she looked at Jefferson, whose eyes had betrayed his annoyance. Adrienne explained, "Mr. Zelson must have something he wants to discuss with me. He's at Cloud Top Cafe, which is just right opposite. You can tag along if you're worried."
"Go quickly and come back as soon as possible. Call me if you need anything." Jefferson was worried, but he was not the kind of person who would restrict her freedom. Plus, the cafe was nearby, he believed that Zelson wouldn't be able to cause any trouble.
"Okay. I'll get going then." Adrienne nodded, then turned around, about to leave.
At that moment, Jefferson reached out to pull her back. He hugged her tight before letting her go, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear and pushing her glasses up her nose bridge, "If Zelson confesses his love for you, what are you going to do?"
Adrienne's eyes widened in shock. "That's not possible!"
Nonetheless, Jefferson replied seriously. "If it
happens."
Adrienne waved her hand around dismissively. "That will never happen, don't worry." "I said 'if'!" Jefferson stressed.
Adrienne touched her head and thought for a moment. "I've never thought about this before, so I don't know what I'll do either."
Jefferson was so mad that he wanted to bite Adrienne vehemently, but he knew how slow she was when it came to romance. He said, "If he confesses to you, call me right away. I'll help you deal with it."
Adrienne was amused. Her rosy face crinkled into a smile. "Okay, I'll definitely call you for help. Will you let me go now?"
"Okay, go," Jefferson said.
Jefferson knew that Zelson had set his eyes on his Little Specky from the start. He was feeling bold right then, huh, to ask for a date in his territory? Jefferson thought. Although he didn't really want Adrienne to go, he still allowed her to leave.
As a man, Jefferson had always kept his word.
"I'll be going, then." Adrienne removed Jefferson's hand from her waist, smiled at him, and turned to leave.
After seeing her off, Jefferson went inside. On the way, the people who met him were about to greet him when they saw his ticked-off expression. They swallowed their words in fear, and kept a safe distance from him.
