Chapter 428: 428. If it’s cold, I’ll hold you_1 Chapter 428: 428. If it’s cold, I’ll hold you_1 Thinking this way, a pitiful look crept over his face as he reached out to embrace Elly Campbell, but she dodged him.
“Elly…”
He moved closer to her again. This ti, he didn’t dare to forcefully hug her; instead, he gripped her wrist pitifully and said,
“I just wanted you to stay with a little longer, it wasn’t my intention to deceive you.”
Elly Campbell didn’t respond to him, just gave him a cold, mocking look.
Seeing that she wasn’t too angry, Adam Jones felt a little relieved, “You see, the wound on my head is real. You stitched it up yourself. I didn’t lie to you, did I?”
He held her hand and moved it towards his forehead, “Feel it, the wound hasn’t completely healed.”
Elly Campbell thought of the ghastly wound that oozed blood when she stitched up Adam Jones’s injury, and her heart softened slightly.
But her mouth was still stubborn as she said, “Who knows if you deliberately took that hit. I rember you were quite agile when you were younger.”
Adam Jones decisively ignored that heart-piercing comnt “when you were younger” from his wife’s mouth, and nodded admittingly,
“I didn’t do it on purpose… It’s just when I heard you call my na, I was so happy that I reacted a bit slowly.”
Ever since he deeply realized the truth of “chasing one’s wife to one’s funeral,” he never tried to recover the face he had thrown away, and he admitted his fault as quickly and decisively as possible.
Elly Campbell didn’t expect him to admit it so easily, and the corner of her eye twitched involuntarily.
“Alright, I got it.”
Elly Campbell spoke, her expression still cold, “It’s too cold outside, let’s go inside.”
“If it’s cold, I’ll hold you.”
Having finally found an opportunity to be close to his wife alone, how could he easily let her go inside.
Elly Campbell gave him a “are you sick” look; it wasn’t as if they were holess on the streets, preferring to be out in the cold instead of in the warm house.
“If you like staying outside, then keep at it. I’m not crazy enough to join you out here in the cold wind.”
After speaking, she gave Adam Jones a cold look and walked around him towards the house.
Adam Jones stood there, touched his nose with a hint of disappointnt, but finally followed her inside.
Elly had already adjusted her mood. When they entered, Elly was scratching Jas Campbell’s belly, and in response, Jas Campbell comfortably let out a few kittenish ws.
The servants had already prepared dinner, and after resting upstairs for a while, the Old Master also ca down.
There were only four of them for the family dinner this ti. They all sat down in the dining room when Jas Campbell returned, looking sowhat weary.
This ti, he didn’t bring lody Baker back with him; he ca back alone.
lody Baker, having her arm twisted by Elly Campbell, had beco much tar and truly didn’t dare provoke Elly Campbell any further.
Elly Campbell was not one to be trifled with before, and now with Adam Jones standing behind her, she was even more untouchable.
This was also what Jas Campbell thought, so when he saw the four people in the dining room, he walked over very honestly, “Dad, you’ve been discharged.”
Elly couldn’t help but roll her eyes on the side, but she held back and didn’t say anything.
She didn’t want her father to get ill again because of this fool’s antics.
“Hmph! That’s rare, why aren’t you keeping company with your confidante anymore?”
The Old Master glanced at Jas Campbell with the corner of his eye, snorted coldly, and looked away.
