My Husband Warm The Bed (Karen Daly) novel Chapter 1778

"Uh..." Adrienne was startled again, and she felt a pang of discomfort. She did not ponder where the discomfort came from and argued, "But, Jeff has a girl he likes."

"Do you know whether the girl likes him back?" Of course, Eunice knew that Jefferson liked a girl. The girl was right in front of her; only the girl could give her the answer she wanted.

"I... I don't think she likes him." Adrienne remembered that she had once met the girl Jefferson liked.

She had seen the girl pour water on Jefferson in front of so many people in Bruce's restaurant previously. If the girl liked him, she would not have done it.

"You don't like him?" Eunice's eyes lit up in an instant but she didn't dare to believe it. "Adrienne, tell me clearly. You really don't have romantic feelings for Jefferson?"

"What..." Adrienne was taken aback and asked in a daze, "Eunice, we are talking about the girl that Jeff likes. Why did you direct the conversation to me?"

This time, Eunice was the stunned one. Could it be that Adrienne did not know that the girl who Jefferson liked was her?

However, Eunice reacted quickly, at least faster than Adrienne, who was still confused about the situation. "Well, we won't talk about the girl who Jefferson likes. Adrienne, tell me, do you like Jefferson?"

Adrienne uttered," I..."

Did she like Jefferson?

She didn't know either. She only knew that she hated Jefferson for bullying her every day. But if he were not around, she would be afraid never to see him again. Her feelings were contradictory. She couldn't figure it out after a few tries. Hence, she didn't want to think about it anymore.

Eunice hoped to hear that Adrienne would say she didn't like Jefferson. Therefore, before Adrienne gave an answer, she interrupted, "Adrienne, I can tell you with certainty that I like Jefferson."

"I... I know that you like him. You have just told me." Adrienne felt uncomfortable. She had the exact uneasy feeling when she had heard that Eunice was going to return a few days before.

Eunice continued, "Adrienne, I came back this time for an answer. If you like Jefferson, I will leave and never appear in front of you all

again. If you don't like him, I will have nothing to worry about. I will do my best to pursue him."

"Eunice, it's your business that you like him. It has nothing to do with whether I like him or not." Adrienne frowned at Eunice's phrasing.

Eunice carried on, "You are my best friend. Before making any choice, I will consider your feelings first."

"Eunice..." Adrienne did not want to accept Eunice's point because she did not have the energy and love to commit to a relationship. For the past two years, she only cared about looking for her parents' murderer. She rarely had the energy to think about other people and things.

Eunice pried further, "Adrienne, I'll ask you again. Do you like Jefferson?"

It had come to this point.

Could Adrienne say that she liked him? Adrienne wondered.

Furthermore, she didn't know whether she liked Jefferson or not.

Adrienne stammered, "I... I don't think I like him."

Eunice was delighted and cheered, "Adrienne, since you don't like Jefferson, I will pursue him without worries."

Before leaving, Freya stopped Eunice and invited her out. "Eunice, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Why don't we find another place to sit down and have a cup of coffee to talk about the old days?"

Eunice looked at Adrienne, who had followed Freddy to leave, and replied, "Why don't we call Adrienne together? Among the seven of us, only three of us are girls. We can't just leave Adrienne behind."

"I just asked Adrienne about it. She still has work to do." After Adrienne came back from the bathroom, her mood was off. Freya noticed it and asked Freddy to send her back to rest first. Moreover, Freya wanted to talk to Eunice about Jefferson, and it would be best for Adrienne not to be there.

"Didn't she say that she's free today? What else could she do?" Eunice asked.

"Eunice, I just want to talk to you alone. Why don't you give me the chance? Since you don't want to be with me, I'll make it short."

"Freya, we are best friends. How can I not want to be with you? Let's go elsewhere."

"Eunice, we don't need to go elsewhere. I just want to ask if you have given up on Jefferson."

Eunice looked at Freya in disbelief. "Freya, why should I give up on Jefferson?"

Freya answered, "You and I both know that Jefferson only has eyes for Adrienne. No matter what you do, he won't have affection for you. Why will you waste your youth and feelings for a man who doesn't love you?"

"I shouldn't waste my youth and feelings for a man who doesn't love me, then what about Jefferson?" Eunice suddenly raised her voice, "Adrienne doesn't love him at all. Isn't he wasting his youth and feelings for a woman

who doesn't love him?"
