No matter how deeply he cares for his fiancée now, it doesn’t change the fact that she is disabled.
Over ti, more people mock him for having a disabled wife, and they don’t believe that Harry Hall has no thoughts about it.
Therefore, even if so people have given up, there are still those who like to swim against the tide.
This is a banquet at the Presidential Palace. Of course, Adam Jones will show respect to the President. Even when these people bring their daughters in front of him, no matter how impatient Adam is inside, he maintains the appropriate upbringing and politeness on the surface.
However, his polite yet firm rejections leave these people quite disheartened.
After dispatching those families, Adam Jones helplessly glances at a person beside him, who is faintly smiling playfully, and says:
"Was my performance just now satisfactory to you, my lady?"
He slightly bows, making a very gentlemanly gesture, which makes Elly Campbell burst into laughter.
Earlier, when she joked about how everyone admires him yet he only loves her, it was just a jest. But when he rejected those people, he intentionally or unintentionally included her.
His favorite phrases were "my wife does this and that," "my wife is my motivation," "my wife is dazzling and charming"...
In short, they flaunt their love like they’re afraid others won’t realize they’re in love.
Recalling the fluctuating expressions of those earlier, Elly Campbell can’t help but laugh again.
Finally managing to get rid of those people, the couple enjoys a mont of peace. Then, Adam Jones and others are called away by the President.
As the head of a leading enterprise, when the President wants to initiate sothing, he likes to start with these wealthy people.
Naturally, the rewards they receive from the President wouldn’t be few.
Adam Jones and Harry Hall are called away, which doesn’t surprise Elly Campbell at all.
Not wanting to leave Helen lendy alone, Harry repeatedly instructs Elly to take care of her.
Seeing this, even the President can’t help teasing him and specially assigns a female secretary from the Presidential Secretary Group to help look after Helen lendy.
Making Helen lendy feel speechless yet slightly embarrassed.
In the end, it was only upon her request that the female secretary was dismissed.
Leaving Elly Campbell alone to accompany her while resting aside.
Seeing the helpless expression on Helen lendy’s face, Elly Campbell can’t resist teasing:
"Do you now feel that the aloof image of your Senior Hall in your heart has collapsed?"
Helen lendy hears this and helplessly smiles.
She doesn’t quite rember what Harry Hall was like during their dating years, but it must be similar to how he is now.
She never thought that one day, the Senior Hall who she considered an aloof prince would also be associated with being chatty.
Elly Campbell finds a seat beside her and asks:
"So, how are you adapting to this kind of setting?"
"Of course it’s a bit unfamiliar the first ti, but..."
She pauses, lightly rubbing the armrest of the wheelchair with her fingers, and smiles softly:
"Since I’ve decided to marry him, these kinds of occasions are unavoidable. Instead of awkwardly avoiding it, it’s better to face it with dignity. I have trouble walking, but I haven’t done anything heinous. Why should I account for it to others?"
Helen lendy raises her eyebrows, having already adjusted her mindset before coming here.
Those who ca with their parents to greet Harry Hall, she noticed the mocking, disdainful looks they gave her. Did they think she didn’t see it?
