After the silence, she remembered those strange images in her mind, and the more she thought about them, the more alarmed she became.
Could those things have really happened?
Thinking about the meal earlier, when Adam Jones looked at her with that teasing gaze, and the things he said, made Elly Campbell feel even more uneasy.
Could she really... have done those things while she was drunk?
Just the thought that she might actually have done those things, said those words, made Elly Campbell dumbfounded.
How could she have done such things to someone like Adam Jones?
No, it couldn’t be possible!
She firmly denied such a possibility in her mind, but the more she thought about it, the less confident she felt.
If she hadn’t done those things, where did those images in her mind come from?
Elly Campbell didn’t dare to think further; if she had done something even more outrageous, she would really be too embarrassed to face anyone.
Listening to the sound of dishwashing coming from the kitchen and thinking about such a distinguished man actually condescending to wash dishes himself, she gained some newfound respect for him.
Her gaze unconsciously swept towards the kitchen, where his tall and handsome figure seemed out of place, but she had to admit, this man was really good-looking.
Whatever he was doing, he exuded an innate attractiveness, making it impossible for one to look away.
Elly Campbell thought about it, her love at first sight for him, or to put it more bluntly, was actually a case of being moved by his appearance.
This man was just too handsome.
A moment later, she withdrew her gaze from Adam Jones.
Just then, a soft little thing jumped on her, it was Elly the Second who had just woken up from its nest.
Because Elly Campbell had to go to the kindergarten for a parent-child sports day, she was afraid she wouldn’t be able to take good care of Elly the Second, so she didn’t bring it along, and when she returned, Elly the Second was sleeping in the cat bed.
Not having seen her for a whole day, Elly Campbell was naturally elated to see this soft little ball now, which even helped quell some of the anger stirred up by Adam Jones earlier.
Holding Elly the Second in her arms, gently stroking its back, she inadvertently started thinking about the images that had flashed through her mind earlier, and her brows furrowed again.
After Adam Jones had finished in the kitchen and came out, he saw Elly Campbell sitting on the sofa, cuddling Elly the Second thoughtfully, her cheeks flushed as if seared by fire.
Besides, she occasionally furrowed her brows, and a hint of annoyance was subtly visible on her face.
Adam leaned against the kitchen door, his eyebrows lifting with interest before he stepped towards her.
"What are you thinking about?"
Adam Jones sat down next to her, startling Elly Campbell, so much so that she unconsciously increased the strength around Elly the Second, causing it to let out a loud "meow" and leap away from her grasp.
Seeing her displaying a rare nervousness in front of him, Adam Jones couldn’t help but smile inwardly, almost guessing why her face was so red.
This girl couldn’t be remembering what she’d done or said after getting drunk, could she?
With that thought, the amusement in Adam Jones’s eyes deepened.
Because she was preoccupied with those thoughts, Elly Campbell was now somewhat scared to face Adam Jones. Seeing Elly the Second escape, she quickly stood up to catch it, but as soon as she was about to leave the sofa, Adam Jones caught her wrist and pulled her back.
The next second, she was pressed down onto the sofa.
The man’s large frame loomed over her, bending down to meet her gaze.
