"Alright, I’m fine here; you all have things to attend to, so go ahead. I need to rest now, and having Thomas Taylor here with me is enough."
The Old Master hustled everyone out. Hearing that the Old Master wanted to rest, Elly Campbell naturally wouldn’t stay to disturb him and nodded in agreement.
After bidding farewell to the Old Master, Elly Campbell and Adam Jones left the hospital building together.
"Sorry, President Jones. I came here in Linstad’s car, so I can’t give you a ride."
After speaking, she quickened her pace towards the curb, not wanting to stay too close to Adam Jones.
Adam Jones wasn’t bothered by her cold demeanor and just slowly followed and stopped behind her.
Elly Campbell glanced sidelong at Adam Jones with indifference and quickly averted her gaze, having no desire to engage in conversation.
However, Adam Jones spoke up, "Did you come back here especially to attend CEO Campbell’s wedding?"
Though James Campbell was her father, Elly Campbell had never held him in high regard and liked it even less when others mentioned him in her presence, especially when that someone was Adam Jones.
A hint of surprise crossed Elly Campbell’s face as she said, "You’re overthinking it. What does your future father-in-law’s wedding have to do with me?"
Adam Jones’s face turned dark at the mention of "future father-in-law," could he not discern the implication in Elly Campbell’s words?
Did this woman not feel discomfort unless she juxtaposed him and Sophie Baker together every single day, is that it?
"Elly Campbell, you always say you don’t care about my relationship with Sophie Baker, but do you genuinely not care in your heart?"
Adam Jones looked at Elly Campbell with a grave expression, his voice deep as he asked.
Elly Campbell’s body stiffened for a moment, and her face slightly fell. In her heart, it felt as if she had been harshly pricked by Adam Jones’s words, birthing a sense of guilt.
Facing Adam Jones’s penetrating gaze, as if it could pierce through her heart and see her innermost feelings, Elly Campbell felt momentarily lost but maintained a composed facade.
Then she laughed, "If I cared, why would I have divorced you?"
As soon as the words "divorced" left her mouth, Elly Campbell immediately regretted it, fearing she might have reminded Adam Jones about William Campbell’s custody.
Annoyed with herself for being unsettled by Adam Jones’s words, and just as a car arrived, without another word, she stepped forward to hail it, intending to escape before Adam Jones could dwell on the implication.
Just as she opened the door, Adam Jones grabbed the edge of the door, and Elly Campbell turned back to look at him coldly, "What is it, President Jones? Surely you’re not so lacking in chivalry as to fight over a car with a woman?"
Adam Jones pursed his lips, smiling faintly, ignoring the chill on Elly Campbell’s face as he said, "I just wanted to ask CEO Campbell for a ride."
"Sorry, but it’s not on the way."
Elly Campbell refused without hesitation.
"How do you know where I’m going? How can you tell it’s not on the way?"
The corners of Adam Jones’s lips continued to curl in a smile, and those deep-set eyes held a resolute meaning. Before Elly Campbell could speak, he had gotten into the car.
"Are we going or not, I’m in a hurry!"
The driver, who had been waiting for a moment, spoke up impatiently.
With more taxis arriving behind them, Elly Campbell, not wanting to waste any more time, clenched her teeth and got in the car.
The driver asked from the front.
Elly Campbell gave her hotel address and ignored Adam Jones, leaning aside and closing her eyes without making a sound.
