She clenched her fists so tightly that her nails snapped off within her palms, yet she was completely unaware of the pain at her fingertips. She continued with a cold expression, saying,
"Even if we were nothing now, even if we were boyfriend and girlfriend, or even husband and wife, I don’t want children, and nobody can force me."
Having said that, she suppressed all the emotions bubbling up inside her, adding,
"So, Harry Hall, don’t act as if I owe you something. Didn’t we break up long ago? That day at the hospital, you said so yourself, that was the real breakup. Since we’ve split, why bother demanding anything from me?"
After finishing her speech, she once again shifted her gaze away from Harry’s face.
The wrenching pain in her heart seemed to drain all her strength, and she didn’t even know how she managed to leave from in front of Harry.
She straightened her back, presenting herself with extra pride and indifference, to avoid appearing too pathetic in Harry’s eyes.
The plane reached its destination six hours later.
This was a small island located between the Pacific and Indian Oceans, covering over a million hectares, with a prime location and a climate that was warm in winter and cool in summer.
Every winter, many people from the country would travel here, but due to transportation limits, it was only accessible to private planes or cruise ships, so it tended to attract top tycoons from around the world.
This was Elly Campbell’s first visit here. It was also the first time she realized that there was such a well-equipped, technologically advanced holiday island in the Pacific.
The environment was beautiful, the climate pleasant, and it even boasted a private hospital with world-class facilities.
Even a long-term stay here wouldn’t affect daily life, and coming here in winter was exceptionally comfortable.
At her first glance, Elly fell in love with the place, which was quietly unknown compared to the world’s famous tourist destinations.
On the way to the island’s villa area, Elly couldn’t help but ask, "How come I’ve never heard of such a great place?"
"Do you like it here?"
Adam Jones glanced at Elly, smiling.
Elly nodded truthfully.
"Then this island is my gift to you."
She was about to tease him for his generosity with someone else’s assets when she noticed the earnest look on Adam’s face. She was taken aback, then surprise flickered in her eyes.
"This island is yours??"
Even though Elly thought she was quite worldly, she was still shocked by her husband Adam’s show of wealth, feeling for the first time like she had truly snagged a golden thigh.
Adam was amused by Elly’s surprised expression, gently scraped her nose with his hand, and in a lowered voice came close to her, saying,
"Your husband has a lot of private wealth, do you want to consider holding on tight to this sturdy leg?"
Elly obediently nodded her head and wrapped her arms tightly around Adam’s.
Suddenly Jones, the tycoon, grandly declared, "Then this island is presented to my wife today."
"Thank you, Island Owner."
Adam was momentarily taken aback by Elly’s address of ’Island Owner’, but then he burst out laughing, wrapping his long arm around Elly’s shoulder, "No need for formality, Mrs. Island Owner."
Helen Melendy, who was following silently behind the two, started to regret agreeing to Elly’s invitation to travel.
This "dog couple" wasn’t taking her on a vacation; they simply brought her along to watch them flaunt their affection.
