Chapter 621: 621. She still doesn’t want to believe him_1 Chapter 621: 621. She still doesn’t want to believe him_1 He was not in a hurry; he knew that one day his wife would believe in him.
But at this mont, thinking of her going to buy another box of contraceptive pills, his heart twisted in pain.
He had felt that their relationship had improved sowhat these days; she verbally resisted his advances, but never truly rejected him.
Even, on several occasions, she had taken the initiative to be close to him; he thought that finally, the clouds had parted to reveal the moon, but then…
When Elly Campbell ca back, she saw Adam Jones sitting in front of the computer, looking over the docunts submitted by his subordinates.
Seeing her return, he asked in his usual tone, “Did you get the dicine?”
“Mhm.”
Elly nodded, thinking that Secretary Rohr had probably told him about her trip to the pharmacy; she didn’t give it another thought.
She walked to the water dispenser, poured herself a glass of water, and took the dicine.
Adam did not see her pill box; watching her take the dicine at the water dispenser, his heart was pricked with pain yet again.
Elly was unaware of his misunderstanding. After taking the dicine, she rubbed her slightly cramping lower abdon and returned to her computer to deal with work.
Adam, of course, saw her rubbing her belly, and his gaze darkened a bit more.
Elly wasn’t overwheld with work, and by the closing ti of Jones Corporation, she had mostly finished her tasks.
Seeing that Adam was still reviewing docunts, and rembering he hadn’t spoken to her all afternoon, she assud he must indeed be busy with a mountain of work to handle.
“Work’s over, are you heading back?”
Elly asked. Adam paused in his perusal of the docunts but did not look at her, replying in an indifferent tone,
“I expect to work overti; don’t wait for . Have the driver take you ho first.”
His tone was not very warm, different from the usually clingy Adam Jones she was accustod to.
This version of Adam was that cold, taciturn man she once knew.
Elly couldn’t quite put her finger on it, but she felt sothing was off with Adam. However, after thinking it over, she couldn’t see how she might have upset him, so she didn’t dwell on it.
Believing that he just had too much on his plate, she nodded and said,
“Then I’ll leave first.”
“Alright.”
Adam glanced up at her, gave her a smile that seed rather lackluster, then returned his focus to the docunts in his hands.
Elly felt there was sothing odd about Adam, but couldn’t articulate exactly what it was.
After looking at him thoughtfully for a mont, she turned her gaze away and left his office.
As soon as she left, Adam’s actions ceased; his gaze, sowhat sorrowful, rested on the office door where Elly’s figure was no longer present.
He raised his hand to pinch the bridge of his nose, leaned back in his chair, and stared at the ceiling, lost in thought.
He knew he couldn’t bla Elly for anything; she had endured three years of his coldness, so what right did he have to expect her unconditional trust in just a few days?
He was not angry with her, but with himself.
Every ti, when he thought of her swallowing the contraceptive pills and he did not even have the courage to stop her, just watching her terminate a life that was about to begin, he hated himself even more.
When Elly got ho, the image of Adam in his office before she left was still in her mind, and she felt as if there was sothing stuck in her heart that made her uncomfortable.
