My Husband, Warm The Bed

Chapter 1972

"Adrienne is a good girl. If we don't help her, then should we just watch as you bully her?" Maxwell was by no means trying to bully Jefferson, but he was worried that this brat would bully and anger his granddaughter-in-law. If so, Jefferson would definitely grow old and die alone.

"When did I bully her?" Staring at Adrienne's pleasantly smiling face, Jefferson felt like he was being treated unfairly. It was that little idiot who was getting on his nerves all these while.

Adrienne pinched him covertly and thought, "Who is the one annoying the other, huh?"

"Since we're on the topic, let's talk then." Maxwell looked at Jefferson and said, "Tell me how much you love Adrienne."

Jefferson was taken aback by Maxwell's question.

It was one thing for him to love Adrienne, but he couldn't be saying it out loud in front of everyone, could he?

He had a reputation to keep up too, all right.

"If you love someone, then you should tell them directly. Look at you. You are so being so hesitant and shy. You should be more decisive like a real man." Maxwell pulled Jefferson's and Adrienne's hand, clasped them together, and said, "Now, say it out loud and let the whole world hear it."

"It's not like I'm doing a live broadcast. How am I supposed to let the whole word hear me?"

Besides, since when had he been shy and hesitant?

Everyone who knew him knew he was taken with Adrienne. There was no need for him to say it out loud.

"That's just a metaphor. Well, it seems like you don't dare to say it out loud after all." Since Jefferson refused to admit, Maxwell glared at him discontentedly and then said earnestly, "Adrienne, although this fella is reluctant to say that he loves you in front of me, I still know that he loves you very much and he has been wanting to marry you for the longest time.

"It doesn't matter if he doesn't say it. As long as I can feel it, Grandpa." Honestly, Adrienne would have been shy anyway if Jefferson were to confess his feelings for her in front of Maxwell.

She was relieved that Jefferson did not actually do that.

"It's good that you can feel that he loves you." Maxwell stared at Jefferson and said, "This brat is a coward. He has loved you for so many years, but he didn't even dare to say it aloud. He was afraid that you wouldn't accept him, and that you wouldn't love him in return..."

A coward?

This was the first time Adrienne had heard someone call Jefferson a coward.

He had always acted like a devil in front of her.

She turned her head to look at Jefferson, who was staring at her unsatisfactorily.

She found the situation hilarious. That man was just a fluke in front of his family, pretending to be all tough.

He really had never admitted outright that he loved her in front of anyone else but Adrienne had never expected it was because he was afraid that she wouldn't reciprocate his feelings.

Perhaps he himself knew how much he had bullied her over these past few years. That was why he was so worried.

The two were shooting flirting looks at each other, but Maxwell pretended not to notice it.

He cleared his throat and said, "The two of you are still young, and there is still a long way ahead. There will be sure to be some bumps along the way, and you will encounter many different things in life. However, as long as you communicate with each other in time, listen to each other patiently, and think about things from each other's perspectives, then your journey together will be one for a lifetime."

"Don't worry, Grandpa. I'll go easy on her. I'll drag her along with me on that journey if I have to." Jefferson just couldn't resist cutting in again.

Maxwell glared at him once again and said, "Listen to me first."

Jefferson immediately shut up.

"Since when did Maxwell become so bossy?" Jefferson thought.

He had heaped plenty riposte to retort, but Maxwell was so domineering that he would not let Jefferson express any of it.

In his opinion, everyone in the world was a unique human being.

Everyone had their own distinctive merits, and no two people were alike.

Therefore, it was natural for there to exist differences between married couples.

Maxwell and his wife might have had a long relationship with that method, but things might not necessarily work the same way for him and Adrienne.

Jefferson understood that very clearly.

Adrienne was slow when it came to relationship so he was sure that she still didn't know whether she loved him up till now.

If he had used Maxwell's method when he pursued his grandmother back then on Adrienne, he believed that Adrienne would've long since become someone else's wife.

Yet Maxwell was still going on and on about getting along and being understanding toward each other. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

Maxwell also said that no matter if it was a man or a woman, if one side kept giving while the other kept taking, the person who put it more into the relationship would be drained eventually. A relationship like this would never hold on for a long time.

In order for a relationship to last, there must be give and take.

Adrienne listened carefully and reflected on herself.

She and Jefferson were like that. Jefferson was always the one giving, while she was always on the receiving end.

In the past, she was always the passive party. Gradually, she got used to how well he treated her, and that he would always be there for her no matter what happened.

As long as he was there, even if something as bad as the Sheridan incident happened, she would be able to pull through.

It was because she knew that as long as she looked back, Jefferson would be right behind her, that he was her sturdiest pillar of strength.

In fact, Adrienne understood why Maxwell was telling them all these. It was probably because he noticed that Jefferson was investing a lot more into the relationship.

Maxwell was worried that his grandson would not get the same in return, and he was worried that she, like Johan, would break Jefferson's heart.

In fact, Adrienne was not surprised that Maxwell would be so worried.

Just like her own grandfather, who used to stare Jefferson down. He, too, used to worry that Jefferson wasn't treating her right or that one day Jefferson might just stop loving her.

It was a lot easier for her to understand Maxwell's thought process and how he felt once she stood in his shoes.

Adrienne grasped Maxwell's intentions perfectly. She replied, "Don't worry, Grandpa. I know very well how generously Jefferson treats me. I will try my best to be good to him too." "Good!" Maxwell nodded with satisfaction. "My biggest goal now is not how much money I can make, nor how much property I can have. I just want you guys to live a simple and happy life."

At that moment, Jefferson interrupted again and said, "Grandpa, you know as well as I am about the importance of money. In order for a couple to live well, they must first be financially stable. If they had to worry over finances and bills everyday, how could their relationship stand the test?"

"Is that what I meant though?" Maxwell was so frustrated by Jefferson. Couldn't this brat show him a shred of respect?

"Well, I still think that you're right. Money is just a worldly possession. It means nothing once you're dead. What's important is living life to the fullest," said Jefferson with a smile.

"Son of a b*tch!" snapped Maxwell.

"I'm your grandson, so that's on you," Jefferson retorted.

The grandfather and grandson were bickering, while Adrienne was listening quietly on the side. Truth be told, it was indeed a blessing to be able to bicker with your family members like that..
