Chapter 41: 041. Tug of war with my wife_1 Chapter 41: 041. Tug of war with my wife_1 However, upon seeing Adam Jones’s unpleasant expression in the distance, Sophie Baker felt fearless inside.
Moreover, considering how Elly Campbell had embarrassed her, not to mention anything else, just based on the fact that the Jones Family owed her, Adam Jones wouldn’t just stand by and do nothing.
She wanted to say something else, but her body was impatiently shoved aside by Elly Campbell.
With such an impatient shove from Elly Campbell, she suddenly let out a scream and deliberately twisted her ankle, falling to the ground right before Adam Jones.
It was mealtime at that moment, and there were quite a few people in the downstairs hall.
When Sophie Baker fell to the ground, it caused quite a commotion, and many people looked over in their direction.
Seeing Sophie Baker holding her hurt elbow, her eyes red as she looked at Elly Campbell, her appearance was such that whoever saw her couldn’t help but feel sympathy, and the gazes directed towards Elly Campbell, the “culprit,” became somewhat complicated.
Yet, peculiarly, Elly Campbell seemed oblivious, not even turning her head back once, completely indifferent to the various stares from around her.
She had just taken a couple of steps forward when she heard Sophie Baker’s astonished voice from behind.
“Adam, why are you here?”
Elly Campbell’s steps involuntarily paused for a moment before she realized something.
She had just been wondering why, with just a casual push, Sophie could fall so weakly to the ground.
She had thought it was to garner sympathy from the bystanders, but now she realized Sophie had been waiting here for her.
The corners of Elly Campbell’s mouth twisted into a mocking smile, and in the end, she left without turning her head, her spine straight as she stepped away.
As expected, Adam Jones called out to her.
She stopped, turned around, and maintained that unconcerned expression, “Did President Jones call me?”
She saw Adam Jones had already helped Sophie Baker up from the ground, and Sophie, frightened, was hiding beside Adam like a startled little bird.
Adam Jones approached Elly Campbell and looked down at her, his eyes as profound as a bottomless abyss, seemingly able to swallow her whole.
Elly Campbell’s eyebrows knitted together in disapproval.
She stepped back, widening the distance between her and Adam Jones, which slightly reduced the oppressive feeling he gave her.
Just as she breathed a sigh of relief, her waist was suddenly tightened, and she was once again pulled in front of Adam Jones.
“Adam Jones, if you have something to say, say it. Why are you pulling and tugging here??”
She frowned, and her gaze towards Adam Jones carried more wariness and disgust.
“Me being affectionate with my wife is also called pulling and tugging?”
Adam Jones’s voice was deep and husky, which, in this intimate posture, came off as even more seductive.
Elly Campbell looked at him, not in a hurry, her tone even more indifferent, “Go on, what do you want me to do?”
The hand that Adam Jones had on her waist tightened.
In fact, he himself didn’t know what he wanted to say when he called her over, but every time he watched her act so nonchalant and seemingly uncaring towards him, he felt somewhat irritated.
What did she just call him?
A pair of worn-out shoes she had passed through?
His gaze lingered on Elly Campbell’s composed face, and after a long pause, he barely managed to say, “You pushed someone over, are you planning to just walk away like that?”
He tried to mask the turmoil she had caused in his heart with such an approach.
