Chapter 652: 652. It’s really upsetting_1 Chapter 652: 652. It’s really upsetting_1 He wasn’t being friendly at all; he was deliberately showing off how he and his wife held hands.
“Good morning, President Jones, good morning, Elly.”
Adam Jones frowned slightly with displeasure upon hearing Jas Churchill’s way of addressing his own wife. He gave Jas a cold glare, which Jas completely ignored.
After the three of them entered the elevator, Adam even squeezed Jas away from his wife, wrapping his long arm around Elly Campbell’s shoulders, in a blatant display of possession that was infuriatingly smug.
From behind, Jas rolled his eyes at him in annoyance—what was there to show off about?
However, on second thought, this lunatic who was always so arrogant and detached seed to beco this childish only in front of Elly. It looked like he was truly sincere about her.
With that, Jas felt more at ease.
As for Adam’s neurotic display in front of him, well, he would just be magnanimous and forgive him.
As they stepped out of the elevator, Adam grabbed Elly and pulled out a red booklet he had just received, pushing it into her hands and said:
“This one is yours, don’t lose it.”
As he spoke, he completely disregarded the presence of others, leaning down to kiss her cheek, “I’m heading back to the office now.”
Elly Campbell: “…”
Jas Churchill: “…”
Both watched as a triumphant and challenging glint spilled from Adam’s eyes, and they ntally flipped him off in unison.
Watching him enter the elevator, Elly finally understood why he had asked Jas what ti he started work as soon as he entered the hospital.
It turned out he wasn’t accompanying her to see Helen; he had co expressly at this ti to show off in front of Jas.
Childish!
Elly muttered quietly in her heart but couldn’t help laughing softly.
Jas looked at the red booklet that Adam had forcefully stuffed into Elly’s hand to assert his status as the “lawful wife,” with an expression that was sowhat indescribable.
Seeing the smile on Elly’s face, Jas licked his lips involuntarily and said:
“Adam Jones like this really is annoying to watch.”
Elly looked at him with a smile, nodding in agreent, “It is quite annoying.”
But she liked it.
She didn’t say it in front of Jas Churchill, but the happiness in her eyes flowed out unrestrained.
No longer that girl who would get sad at the re ntion of Adam Jones; it seed she was genuinely happy now.
Jas thought he might have been willing to wait so more, wait for a day when Adam would make her sad and disappointed again, so he could be there to protect her.
But seeing Adam’s childish antics and Elly’s brimming happiness today, he knew that he probably wouldn’t even get the chance to wait.
Realizing it was ti to let go completely, Jas glanced at Elly. Having guarded and waited so many years, to suddenly give up did leave a hollow feeling in his heart.
But seeing her this happy, he didn’t feel too sad—just a bit of regret for not having such a girl.
Maybe it was ti to listen to his parents and seriously go on that blind date. Perhaps he could et soone even better than Elly.
After reassuring himself with this open-minded thought, Jas said to Elly: “I’m off to do my rounds. You go in and visit your friend.”
“Okay.”
After showing off in front of his love rival, Adam Jones returned to the company in a particularly good mood.
His beaming face perplexed the reception staff on the ground floor.
“Good morning, Mr. President.”
“Hmm, good morning.”
The staff: “…”
