Chapter 1356: 1356. What a pity
If it weren’t for the fact that the guy was reasonably decent to his wife, he wouldn’t have let him off.
Elly Campbell sensed the anger that Adam Jones unintentionally exuded, feeling puzzled, she asked, “What’s wrong?”
Seeing Adam Jones bury his face in her shoulder dejectedly, he said:
“That guy surnad White has designs on you.”
Elly Campbell listened to the sour tone of his words, paused for a mont, and then laughed carelessly, “Really?”
She flicked her long hair aside and mischievously wrapped her arms around Adam Jones’ neck, saying:
“That just proves your wife hasn’t lost her charm.”
Adam Jones, seeing her indifferent look, knew that she didn’t take his words seriously, or rather, didn’t take Ethan White’s ambiguous feelings for her seriously.
Adam Jones felt a bit happy inside that his wife had no interest in other n.
Nevertheless, he still acted like a relentless nag, saying:
“Don’t you think that ‘miss’ he ntioned is you?”
Anyway, he wasn’t sure if his wife had ever contemplated that possibility, he just knew upon hearing it that the ‘miss’ Ethan White ntioned was his wife.
He felt sowhat relieved that Ethan White was a good-for-nothing poor guy at that ti, and also felt thankful that even though he was such a scoundrel back then, his wife was still willing to give him a chance.
Otherwise, today there might be a man who sees her as a pure moonlight and is willing to die protecting her, then he would have even less of a chance.
Thinking of this, Adam Jones’ spine went cold with fear, and he hugged his ‘madam president’ even tighter.
As if not holding her tight enough might cause her to run off with Ethan White.
Elly Campbell was amused by Adam Jones’ words, “How could that be? If it was , how could I not have any impression of it?”
Her eyes were sparkling, clear and pure, showing no sign of guilt or distraction, obviously, she truly didn’t know she was the ‘miss’ who had once helped Ethan White.
Just as Ethan White said, her kindness was very pure; she helped others without asking for anything in return, so naturally, she wouldn’t rember such a trivial matter from the past.
Adam Jones loved this side of Elly Campbell deeply, the way she laughed in his arms, it completely srized him.
Elly Campbell noticed the undisguised passion in Adam Jones’ eyes when he looked at her, even as an old married couple, she felt a bit shy being gazed at so intensely.
“Ahem, ahem…”
She covered her mouth and coughed lightly, asking, “Are you serious?”
Adam Jones, realizing his previously lovesick expression, and usually having a thick skin in front of his wife that could withstand a nuclear bomb, now showed a bit of embarrassnt on his face.
However, a lord who isn’t brazen isn’t a good master of the island.
His embarrassnt lasted only for half a second before he recovered, raised his eyebrows looking at Elly Campbell’s smiling eyes, and said:
“What do you think?”
Seeing Elly Campbell seriously stroking her chin, pondering for a mont before suddenly sighing, she said, “What a pity.”
“Hm? A pity about what?”
Adam Jones didn’t quite catch the subtle regret in Elly Campbell’s tone.
“If I had known he was interested in , I should have gone with him.”
Ignoring the instantly darkened face of Island Master Jones, she daringly continued:
“You haven’t seen Ethan White, broad shoulders, narrow waist, long legs, a handso face, and not lacking money; if I went with him… ow…”
