Meeting him at such a beautiful age, falling in love with him, and desperately trying to be worthy of him made her push herself to become an outstanding woman.
Alas, fate played tricks on them, and they missed out on that beautiful age together.
Now, they had gone to great lengths to have this chance to make up for the past, and they should cherish it all the more, rather than miss it again over some insignificant misunderstandings.
Adam felt her sudden silence and the unintentional sigh that escaped her lips, and his heart ached.
He guessed that she was thinking about those unbearable memories and felt both self-reproach and heartache.
Holding Elly tighter, he then heard her say, "From now on, there must be no more misunderstandings. If you give me attitude without saying a word, I won’t let you off."
She pinched his waist fiercely and spoke in a threatening tone, but to Adam, it sounded sweeter than honey.
"Never again. If I ever give you attitude again, punish me by forbidding me from ever touching you."
Elly let out a satisfied snort, lying in Adam’s embrace without a word, and as the couple chatted for a while, sleepiness crept up on her.
Seeing her eyelids grow heavy, Adam leaned in and asked softly.
"Mm, let’s sleep. I still have to go to the hospital to take care of Helen tomorrow."
Elly closed her eyes and mumbled a response.
Helen was in the hospital?
Adam couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow, and he immediately understood why his wife had been to the hospital that day.
It had nothing to do with James; the dinner with a friend his wife had mentioned must have been with Helen.
With that thought, Adam’s mood instantly improved a bit more.
As for why Helen was sick and in the hospital, he didn’t bother to care.
In his good mood, the dominating CEO Adam lay beside his wife, holding her tightly. Elly was already extremely sleepy, and she paid no attention to how he embraced her.
Only to hear Adam nattering in her ear, "Elly, let’s go get our marriage certificate tomorrow, shall we?"
Elly responded in a daze, unsure if she had taken it in or not.
Adam didn’t mind. Just the thought of his and his wife’s names on a red marriage certificate again made him too excited to sleep.
The next morning, as Elly was waking up in a daze, she saw someone dressed in a sharp suit standing by the bed, smiling down at her, which puzzled her.
"Why are you up so early?"
Looking at Adam’s crisp appearance, Elly couldn’t help but be confused.
He usually wore suits to the office too, but for some reason, Adam today seemed to have made an especially concerted effort.
He was always handsome, but today he was exceptionally handsome!
"Still sleepy? If not, get up quickly."
Adam leaned over, pulled Elly out of bed, and urged her to go to the bathroom to freshen up.
Elly, confused by his strange behavior, obediently went to the bathroom; after washing up and coming out, Adam had already prepared her clothes for the day.
It was a set of very formal, custom-made women’s suits in her favorite color and style.
From the day she had returned to Boston, Adam had called the Jones family’s personal designer to make her an entire wardrobe of clothes; this suit was yet another new addition.
As Elly approached, Adam very proactively helped her dress, his obsequious manner making Elly want to call him "Little Adam."
