My Husband, Warm The Bed

Chapter 1975

Her heart buoyant, Adrienne wore a smile on her face, the kind of smile which showed everyone the profound extent of her joy.

However, always one to say what she did not mean, she blurted, "You promised that I could go shopping with Sierra today. Why did you follow me here? Can't you give me a whit of freedom?"

"Adrienne, I swear I will hurl you off this building." Jefferson glared at Adrienne, begrudgingly. He really wanted to bestow her a good beating.

Jefferson's heart had never left Adrienne the moment she left the house. He followed them around for a while but never showed himself, allowing them all the time in the world to shop to their heart's content.

When Adrienne was footing the bill, Jefferson realized that all her money was with him. That was the only reason he showed up and paid for the bill. To his chagrin, she was annoyed by him.

"It was you..." While Adrienne was speaking, she noticed that Jefferson's expression was off, and she immediately stopped.

She knew that Jefferson was really angry at that moment, and who knew what he might do if she were to provoke him further?

"Hurl her if you dare," Sierra said calmly as she stared Jefferson down. "I can even lend you a hand, should you need any."

Jefferson knew what kind of a person Sierra was. She was a real troublemaker. "Sierra, you mother of all devils. Would it cost you anything if you just sit still and stop causing trouble for a day?"

Smile blossoming on her face, Sierra rebuked, "You were the one who said you wanted to hurl her off the building. I'm just trying to help you out of the kindness of my heart. Why would you flip at

me? Jefferson, you're a man. You should keep your word."

"Sierra Yard..." Jefferson was about to argue with Sierra when he saw a familiar figure through his peripheral vision.

He immediately whipped his head around and was met with the sight of Johan standing not too far away from them.

Johan was with his assistant, looking as if they were there for work.

It might have been a chance encounter the first time they met but they were still running into each other even after they had switched malls. Furthermore, this mall wasn't even owned by the Silas Group. Only a fool would believe that it was just a coincidence.

Jefferson was about to release his temper on Sierra, but he had switched his target to Johan that instant. "Johan, I never got the chance to meet you whenever I wanted to in the past. Yet somehow today, we keep bumping into each other. Are you, by any chance, looking to acquire this mall, Mr. Silas?"

Johan looked at him frigidly and did not respond.

Alexis, who was behind Johan, said, "Mr. Hefner, that information is confidential, and we haven't released it to the public yet. How did you know?"

Jefferson was taken aback by the response.

"What the f**k!"

Was Johan really going to buy this shopping mall?

In the midst of Jefferson's confusion, Alexis added, "Mr. Hefner, Mr. Silas really isn't following you guys around. We're here simply because of work."

Alexis finally understood why Johan had decided to bring forward the acquisition. It turned out that it was to create another chance encounter with Sierra. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"This man is really the lowest of the low. Words cannot describe him, even." Alexis thought to himself.

Everyone could tell that this encounter was not a coincidental one, so it was not surprising that Jefferson would think so as well.

But how did Johan know that Sierra would be at that specific mall?

Could it be that he had installed a tracking device on Sierra?

There was a welter of speculations in Alexis's mind, but he didn't dare to say a word as he carefully observed the situation. He had to help his boss get out of trouble when the situation called for it, otherwise, he would have to suffer the consequences himself later on.

"What a coincidence! You guys just so happened to be acquiring this place today, huh?" asked Jefferson, his eyebrows arched, waging a challenge.

Sierra stood aside and watched them like an outsider. She didn't intend to meddle in that matter.

Seeing that the situation was taking a turn for the worse, Adrienne immediately tugged at Jefferson and said, "Jeff, I heard that there's a famous dessert place here. I want to try it. Won't you come with me?"

At the sound of Adrienne calling him by that name, Jefferson's bones had completely given out. He couldn't help but soften his voice as he said, "Be good, and let me deal with these people first. I'll

accompany you for dessert once I'm done with them, okay?"

Adrienne looked at him and whimpered, "But I really want to eat it now."

She even deliberately touched her lower abdomen to remind him that there was a tiny life growing in her womb. She said, "I don't know why, but I've been getting a lot of cravings lately."

At that instant, the fury inside Jefferson extinguished just like that. He asked, "Do you really want to eat that?"

Adrienne stared at him, her eyes sparkling. "Yeah."

"Let's go then." Jefferson caressed her head gently, then turned to Sierra and reminded, "Sierra, are you coming with us?"

Although Sierra said that she had given up on Johan, Adrienne could see that a part of her still hadn't moved on.

Since the two of them had met, it was best to just let them clear the air.

She tugged at Jefferson and said, "Let's go first. Sierra will be right with us."

Jefferson looked back with every step he took as he was worried that Johan would hurt Sierra as soon as he left.

Alexis, too, could read the room. He quickly found an excuse to slip away and let Johan have some private time with Sierra. He didn't want Johan's quirks to act up again because of her.

After everyone had left, Sierra was still beholding Johan impassively. "Mr. Silas, do you have any spare time today? If you do, can you please take two hours out of your day to drop by the Civil Bureau with me to sign the divorce papers?"

Johan looked at her coldly, and his eyes were dark, with no words coming through his mouth.

"I'll take your silence to mean that you're busy." Sierra smiled brightly. "Then please ask your assistant to call me when you're free. We can meet at the Civil Affairs Bureau."

Johan frowned and questioned. "Sierra, who was the one who insisted on marrying me? Do you take marriage as a joke?"

With a faint smile, Sierra answered, "It was me. I was the one who desperately wanted to marry you. Mr. Silas, please forgive me for being young and immature back then, and that I've taken marriage as a joke. However, I've thought things through now, and I've realized that happiness is not something that we can force ourselves into. Let's just get the procedure done at your earliest convenience."

Johan's hands that were hanging by his sides started to tremble as he said, "I don't have the time to do that."

"Since you don't have time today, I won't bother you anymore. Please remember to ask your assistant to inform me when you don't have anything scheduled." After saying so, Sierra whirled around and was about to leave.

Johan hurriedly reached out and dragged her along as he said, "Come with me."

Sierra shook off his hand and said with a cold smile, "Go with you? Where to? To the Civil Bureau to get a divorce?"

Johan said coldly, "Sierra, have you had enough of all these monkey business?"

"Have I had enough?" Sierra suddenly laughed, so vehemently that she started to tear up. "It turns out that in your eyes, everything I've done is just monkey business. But have you ever thought of the reason why I was behaving that way?"

Johan's face fell as he growled, "Sierra, what on earth do you see me as all these years? When you want to get married, I have to marry you, and when you want a divorce, then I'll have to divorce you, huh? What am I to you? Just a toy for fun?"
