My Husband, Warm The Bed

Chapter 1964

"We'll never know unless I try, right? No one was born perfect. I'll learn along the way," drawled Jefferson as he set the ladder against the wall, about to climb up.

What Jefferson said made sense, but Adrienne couldn't help but worry as she watched him climb up the ladder without any protective gear.

She trotted over quickly, held onto the ladder as she urged, "Slow down, will you? I'm begging you."

What would she and the baby do if he fell?

However, Jefferson paid her no mind. He climbed up quickly and as he was about to reach the top, one of the rungs suddenly snapped.

Fortunately, Jefferson reacted quickly and hopped up another rung, so there was no harm done.

However, Adrienne wasn't as calm as Jefferson was. Her heart had almost jumped out of her chest.

"Jefferson..." She dared not to speak again for fear of diverting his attention. However, her gaze never left him.

Every step he took, Adrienne would feel her heart clench even more.

Finally, Jefferson got to the top rung. With a graceful leap, he was on the roof.

Jefferson turned back and smiled at Adrienne. "See? Isn't your husband amazing?"

Adrienne did not say a word and her lips had turned pale from the fear. However, due to the night, Jefferson did not notice it.

It was fortunate that he couldn't see her, otherwise, he would worry about her again.

"It's windy and cold out here. You should go back in first. Don't just stand there like a fool," said Jefferson.

Adrienne was so anxious that her heart was about to give out from the stress, yet he was calling her a fool.

What was the matter with him?!

Adrienne really wanted to turn around and head back inside, but she couldn't bear to leave him alone.

She took a few steps back and chose a good spot to look up at Jefferson.

Although Adrienne was extremely concerned about him, she still huffed, "Jefferson, I'm warning you. If you fall and injure yourself, I'll marry someone else."

She thought to herself, "I'll take our baby and marry someone else. Let's see if he still dares to be stubborn now."

"You're asking for it, Adrienne Carter." His Little Specky was getting bolder, wasn't she? How could she dare to say such words to him?

Jefferson planned to teach her a good lesson later on so that she wouldn't have the energy to think of anything else but him.

As Jefferson walked back and forth on the roof, Adrienne couldn't help but worry. He was a well built adult man, what if the roof collapsed and he fell?

Adrienne knew that no matter how hard she tried to persuade him, he would never listen to her, so she decided to say, "Jeff, be careful!"

Calling him by that name was always her trump card.

As soon as she said that, Jefferson became more agreeable in an instant. He hollered, "Okay, I'll be careful. Just wait inside, alright? Don't stand there in the cold."

"I don't care. I'm going to watch you from here!" Adrienne yelled.

"Very well, she can do whatever she wants... " Jefferson thought. He didn't want her to catch a cold, so he quickly got to work.

From time to time, he would glance at her.

"Miss Carter, it's dark now. What are you doing standing outside alone?" Phoebe's voice came from behind, startling Adrienne.

Before Adrienne could respond, Phoebe interjected again, "The temperature in the mountain changes drastically over the course of a day. It's so warm during the day that a thin shirt was sufficient. But at nightfall, the temperature drops by several degrees. You'll still feel cold even with a coat on."

Adrienne reassured her, "I'm fine. I'm dressed in thick clothing."

"Miss Carter, the conditions in our village are not as good as those in the city. Besides, you aren't just taking care of yourself now. You must take good care of your body."

"Thank you for your concern. I will take good care of her. I might not be good at much else, but I'm particularly good at warming the bed."

A pleasant male voice came from above. Phoebe looked up and saw Jefferson, who was sitting on the roof.

The moonlight shone on his body, making him look even more attractive than he did earlier.

Phoebe had never seen such a good-looking man before. Her face suddenly turned red and she blurted out without hesitation, "Oh, Miss Carter, your husband is so handsome!"

"Phoebe..." Adrienne muttered.

Phoebe really had to stop complimenting Jefferson. He was already arrogant to begin with, now that with all those villagers praising him, his ego would only inflate even more.

Meanwhile, Jefferson was overjoyed. "Phoebe, you think I'm handsome, right? But Adrienne doesn't agree with you. She even said that she wanted to marry someone else just now."

Adrienne blushed and shouted, "Shut up, Jefferson!"

She was just joking. How could he disclose their private conversation to an outsider? How was she supposed to face the villager in the future? Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Jefferson bellowed back, "You'd better be nicer to me, Adrienne!"

Adrienne had just called him 'Jeff', but in the blink of an eye, she was yelling at him again. Women were indeed unpredictable. Jefferson thought.

Phoebe smiled and said, "Don't worry. Miss Carter would never do that. She's pregn..."

"Phoebe!" As Phoebe was about to blurt out Adrienne's pregnancy, Adrienne quickly interrupted. She felt that it would be better for her to tell Jefferson herself.

Phoebe immediately understood what was going on. She thought that Adrienne had already told Jefferson about it. Now that she knew that Jefferson was still kept in the dark, she sensibly kept her

mouth shut as she knew that she was just an outsider and she had no right to meddle with their relationship.

Phoebe looked at Jefferson and asked, "Why are you up there?"

"The roof is leaking, so I'm trying to fix it."

"Miss Carter, the roof must have been leaking for quite a while now, right? Why didn't you tell me about it? I would've asked someone to repair it." Phoebe blamed herself. "It's my fault. I visit you every day, yet I never notice it."

"No, don't say that. It's just a small matter; Jefferson can handle it." All this while, Adrienne felt that she had troubled the villagers a lot, so she was hesitant to ask for their assistance.

Phoebe still felt guilty. "What do you mean by that? You lived here on your own before your husband came. There were even a few times that it rained, and you probably were freezing, but we didn't even notice it."

Adrienne didn't want to continue with that topic anymore. If it went on, knowing Phoebe, she would definitely tell the entire village about it.

She quickly changed the subject. "By the way, Phoebe, why are you out here so late at night? What can I help you with?"

It was only then did Phoebe recall the reason she had gone over to Adrienne's house in the first place. She shoved a basket into Adrienne's hands and said, "These are some freshly- handpicked snap peas. They're really good, so I thought I'd share some with you."

"Phoebe, you've already given me so much food. I'll feel bad for taking this."

However, from the roof, Jefferson interposed, "What's there to be embarrassed about? Phoebe gave you food because she likes you. If she didn't like you, she wouldn't have brought it to you. She is doing this out of kindness. If you don't accept it, then you are trampling on her affection for you."
