Chapter 579: 579. Your body is much more honest than your mouth_1 Chapter 579: 579. Your body is much more honest than your mouth_1 Elly Campbell’s body suddenly stiffened, the familiar voice, the familiar breath, in an instant surged into her viscera.
She abruptly looked up at the man in front of her, and by the moonlight, she saw his face.
The full beard, the bloodshot eyes, the hoarse voice from lack of sleep…
The face that was once as handso as a deity now carried hints of age and wildness.
“Wife, I’m back.”
In that instant, the panic that had been lingering in Elly’s heart suddenly lifted, and her eyes reddened abruptly.
She raised her hand and fiercely struck his chest, “Are you trying to scare to death?”
Because she was afraid of waking William Campbell, Elly didn’t dare to speak too loudly, making the suppressed voice sound all the more aggrieved.
Adam Jones laughed and enveloped her in his embrace, his face nuzzling against her shoulder, “Sorry, I thought you were asleep and didn’t want to wake you.”
The fatigue was unmistakable in his hoarse voice, quelling the fire of Elly’s anger in an instant.
“How did you co back so soon?”
Adam buried his face in the crook of her shoulder and chuckled softly, “Didn’t I say, as soon as I finish the work at hand, I’ll co back imdiately?”
Looking at the ti, it had been just over twenty hours since that text ssage; he truly hadn’t rested for a mont before rushing back.
Thinking of his unshaven face, his bloodshot eyes, and the tiredness seeping through his hoarse voice, Elly’s brows furrowed.
“What’s the rush, didn’t you know to rest for a day there before coming back?”
She knew that the business in the United States couldn’t possibly be resolved in a day or two. The fact that he managed to get back so quickly basically ant he had been up all night dealing with the project.
Her heart ached indistinctly, not understanding why he was pushing himself so hard.
“I missed you too much, couldn’t sleep without holding you, and if I didn’t co back soon, I reckon I’d only be able to sleep with the help of sleeping pills.”
His words amused Elly enough to crack a smile, but then she said in a stern voice, “Don’t think that a few sweet nothings will make forgive you for scaring just now.”
At those words, Adam Jones looked up, his smile taking on a deeper aning, “Then how do you want to punish ?”
He leaned in close to her, whispering, “How about compensation… in flesh?”
“Get lost!”
Elly reached out to push him away, but Adam wasn’t having it, instead, he hugged her even tighter, “Not leaving.”
Suddenly, Adam seed to realize sothing and lifted his face from her shoulder, a faint smile gracing his eyes.
“You’re up so late; could it be that you also couldn’t sleep because you were thinking of ?”
Caught off guard by his question, Elly’s face involuntarily flushed with embarrassnt, avoiding Adam’s smiling gaze, she denied, “No, I just finished work and ca down for a glass of water.”
“Is that so?”
Seeing her sowhat evasive look, the smile in Adam’s eyes deepened.
He took her face in his hands, forcibly turning it towards him, his expression suddenly serious, “Let’s see.”
Elly didn’t understand why he was suddenly so stern, feeling a sinking in her heart, “See what?”
“To see if you’re lying to your husband.”
Elly: “…”
She aid a forceful kick at his knee, but Adam agilely dodged and, taking hold of her waist with his montum, he turned and pressed her against the couch behind them.
“Your body is much more honest than your mouth, let feel what you really think in your heart.”
