Adam Jones took advantage of the momentum to stretch out his arms, supported her from behind, the hand grasping her ankle suddenly let go, and then, his arms wrapped around her body, both of them fell onto the large bed behind them.
His long legs gently lifted and pressed on Elly Campbell’s legs.
"Is your stomach still uncomfortable? Let me rub it for you."
As he said this, his large palm covered her lower abdomen, lightly rubbing twice before Elly pushed it away.
Having voiced her concerns, Adam felt much lighter after being gloomy all day.
Holding Elly in his arms, lying in the crook of his elbow, he couldn’t help but feel a twinge of sourness in his heart as he remembered how she had walked into the hospital alongside James Churchill, laughing and chatting.
"When I passed by the entrance of the hospital today, I saw you with James, laughing and chatting, and you didn’t reply to my message..."
His tone was so sour he might as well have been drinking vinegar.
Hearing this, Elly couldn’t help but recall when she received Adam’s Instagram message asking where she was while she was in the coffee shop with James, and she was too upset at the time to reply.
Now, hearing his sour tone, she knew that the text he sent was probably followed by a wild imagination about his wife having an affair.
Elly grabbed a pillow from the side and threw it at him, "Roll away!"
Far from rolling away, he shamelessly snuggled even closer to Elly, leaned down to kiss her cheek, and said:
"Even if you’re annoyed with me, I won’t go away, I’ll stick by your side forever."
By now, Elly was no longer angry with him and, recalling how he had been insecure because of something she said in the past, she felt a twinge of guilt.
Turning to look at the handsome face lying beside her, from the first glance, she had been attracted by it and gradually found herself sinking deeper, unable to escape.
She looked at him, her gaze somewhat distant, and couldn’t help but remember the breathtakingly handsome guy she had seen by the poolside for the first time, who told her corny jokes to cheer her up, causing a flutter in her heart.
Without thinking, she raised her hand to caress that well-defined face, which over the years had gained a measure of maturity and wisdom from the passage of time.
Seeing his wife spontaneously getting close, Adam very obligingly moved his face closer, making it easier for his dear wife to touch.
Suddenly, she rolled over, lay on top of Adam, leaned in to kiss him on the lips, and called out, "Young man."
Caught off guard by his wife’s newfound initiative, Adam’s heartbeat accelerated, and he found himself tongue-tied and restless at her call of "young man."
He wrapped his arms around the soft body on top of him, lowered his voice, and responded, "Hmm?"
Hearing his feigned composure while every cell in his body seemed eager to move, Elly couldn’t help but curl her lips into a smirk.
"Actually, your jokes aren’t that cold; they’re quite funny," she said.
She looked at him with a smile and suddenly blurted out this confusing line to Adam.
"Especially when you tell them with such a serious face, it’s hilarious."
Elly added with a smiling glance.
Looking at the teasing smile in his wife’s eyes, combined with her calling him "young man," Adam suddenly realized what she was referring to.
