Chapter 880: 880. A family feud arose in a fit of anger Chapter 880: 880. A family feud arose in a fit of anger “Honey, be careful, there’s a step here.”
“Walk slowly, the lawn is slippery.”
“Honey, there’s a small stone here.”
“…”
Finally, Elly Campbell, couldn’t bear it anymore and gritted her teeth, “Adam Jones, isn’t this enough? It’s just a pregnancy. When I was pregnant with William, I wasn’t this over the top!”
Elly hadn’t really thought too much before speaking, she just wanted to tell Adam Jones that being pregnant wasn’t as exaggerated as he thought and that it wasn’t so fragile that a small mishap could lead to disaster.
After all, she had endured a tough pregnancy with William and ca through, and this pregnancy was much easier. She barely had any pregnancy symptoms, except for being a bit more sleepy, so he really didn’t need to be so tense.
But as soon as she finished shouting, she saw Adam Jones’s expression change subtly, and a sense of guilt washed over his face, which made Elly startled, unsure why he suddenly looked that way.
The next second, she was wrapped in Adam Jones’s arms, feeling his grip unconsciously tighten around her. She couldn’t help but frown slightly.
“What’s wrong? Did I speak too harshly?”
Elly leaned in his embrace, looking up at him, her eyes tinged with unease.
Seeing Adam gently tug at the corner of his lips, his smile faint but his eyes full of apology, he said in a hoarse, low voice, “I’m sorry, darling.”
Elly was sowhat baffled by his sudden apology, thinking he was apologizing for sothing that happened today, aware that he was worried about her, she said helplessly:
“What’s there to apologize for? I just feel… you guys are too nervous, treating like I’m a porcelain doll, it makes a bit embarrassed.”
With that, she buried her face in front of Adam’s chest, whispering softly.
Yet Adam still shook his head helplessly, saying, “It’s not because of that, it’s because…”
He furrowed his brow, the look of remorse not fading, as he continued:
“When you were pregnant with William, I wasn’t by your side, and you suffered so much. Every ti I think of that period… I just want to beat myself up. So this ti…”
He placed his hand over Elly’s still flat stomach, his lips pursed, “I just want to be with you and them every mont, that’s the only way I feel at peace.”
Elly hadn’t expected Adam was apologizing for that reason.
Indeed, in the past, Adam had deeply hurt her, but since she had decided to give themselves a chance, she didn’t intend to dwell on past grievances. Unexpectedly, after all this ti, Adam was still preoccupied with it.
Looking at him, she couldn’t help but laugh helplessly, her hands cupping his face, saying:
“The past is in the past, it’s enough that we’re fine now. I don’t want to dwell on the past, and you shouldn’t keep it always in your mind either.”
Seeing Adam still furrowing his brow, she huffed softly, saying:
“If you keep bringing up the past, reminding of how you treated back then, I might just lose it and cause a real family drama.”
These words made Adam laugh, lightening the heavy guilt that filled his eyes, which now receded sowhat.
“No, no, my mistake, I won’t ntion it again.”
He affectionately wrapped his arms around Elly’s waist, his tender smile tinged with a bit of groveling.
