What was he enduring for her sake?
Was it to make up for neglecting her three years ago, and now he was prepared to make amends?
Adam Jones himself found this reason ridiculously funny.
Confronted with Elly Campbell’s cold gaze, he ultimately suppressed his temper and said, "You were causing a scene in the bar because you were drunk, so I brought you back here."
What did he mean by causing a scene at the bar?
However, reminded by Adam, she recalled that she was called by Helen Melendy to Starry Night for a chat, and somehow ended up drinking quite a bit while talking, after which her memory was a blank.
She was brought back by Adam, but what about Helen?
"And what about my friend?"
"Harry Hall took her away."
Elly Campbell frowned, Helen barely knew Harry due to them being connected only through their respective divorce cases, surely they weren’t familiar enough for Harry to take her away on his own?
Thinking this, the displeasure on Elly Campbell’s face deepened, "How could you so carelessly let your friend take away my friend?"
Facing her displeased questioning, Adam’s heart was also filled with anger, he regretted it, he should not have gone all the way to bring this ancestor home, not a single thank you, and still had to accept her questioning.
His handsome face sank with displeasure, and he coldly retorted, "What? Did you expect me to take care of some unrelated woman?"
Elly Campbell instinctively wanted to argue back, but seeing Adam’s indifferent demeanor, she remembered what kind of person Adam Jones was.
A man with a heart of stone like Adam, how could he have a heart willing to help others, how could she apply the logic of a normal person to him.
Elly Campbell didn’t want to argue with Adam, patiently she said, "Just call Harry Hall and ask how my friend is doing."
Adam looked at her coldly for a moment, then strode off to the bathroom, showing no intention of heeding her request.
"Hey! Adam Jones, did you hear me talking to you or not?"
With a slam, Adam closed the bathroom door, and Elly Campbell had no interest in arguing with him. She walked over to the bed, picked up the phone on the bedside table, and dialed Helen Melendy’s cell phone.
The phone rang for a long time but was not picked up, causing Elly Campbell to feel a bit uneasy. She called several more times, to no avail.
Elly Campbell was worried; she hadn’t really interacted with Harry Hall, and though he was well-regarded on the outside, known for his clean and self-improvement and without any scandalous news, you can’t judge a book by its cover, who knew what he was really like.
After several fruitless attempts to call Helen Melendy’s number, Elly Campbell could only walk up to the bathroom door and knock.
"Adam Jones, are you done yet?"
Beyond the sound of the water, there was no response.
Elly Campbell knocked a few more times, impatiently, "Adam Jones, are you finished or not?"
The silence was her only reply.
He couldn’t have fallen asleep inside, could he?
She frowned, pressing her ear to the door, the sound of water still audible, "Adam..."
As the words reached her lips, the bathroom door suddenly opened. Elly Campbell didn’t have time to react, and her body charged in, directly pressing against a wet and solid object.
Elly Campbell’s face immediately darkened, and before she could straighten up, Adam’s low, cold mocking laugh rang out from above her head, "After four years, you seem to have learned to throw yourself into a man’s arms."
