The sobbing voice carried a heavy nasal tone.
Even at this point, Adam Jones just couldn’t force himself to keep a stern face any longer.
Especially since he kept seeing her occasionally lift her hand to wipe away tears, Adam just couldn’t sit still anymore.
He hurriedly stepped forward and wrapped her in his arms from behind, his voice so tender it was a complete mess, "There, there, it’s okay as long as you know your mistake, but you can’t do this next time."
Elly silently nodded, and Adam felt the slight trembling against his chest, clearly she was trying hard to suppress her sobs.
Adam’s heart seemed to be wrung fiercely, he dared not be angry anymore, he even regretted why he had to be so harsh on her.
"I wasn’t scolding you, I was just too scared, and that’s why I snapped at you. I was afraid that if I was even a step late, what if something happened to you?"
Elly still didn’t speak, but that trembling sensation, Adam could still feel it distinctly.
His heart grew even tighter.
"Alright, Elly, don’t be sad, it’s my fault, all my fault. I shouldn’t have been so harsh on you. Hit me, hit me however you want, until you’ve let off your steam."
Her response was another of Elly’s heart-wrenching silences.
Adam got anxious, turned Elly around to face him, lifted her drooping head, and when his tense eyes met hers, brimming with laughter and triumph, his face instantly darkened.
Before he could start scolding her, Elly quickly admitted her mistake out loud. To catch him off guard, she wrapped her arms around Adam’s neck and swiftly sealed his lips with hers.
The scolding that was on Adam’s lips suddenly fell silent.
Getting sneakier by the day!
Not only did she feign crying to soften his heart, but now she was taking direct action against him.
Where did she learn these bad habits?
She’s gone bad! This rascal has gone bad!
While Adam inwardly cursed his wife for going bad, his body greatly enjoyed the initiative she was taking, and in the next second, he was ready to deepen the kiss, turning from guest to host.
But before he could continue, Elly had already let go of him.
This rascal! Hits and runs.
Elly didn’t know that she had become a hit-and-run rascal in the mind of her own boss. Her eyes sparkled at him, and the next second, she used a soft and coquettish voice to plead:
"I know I was wrong, don’t be angry, okay?"
Adam let out a light snort; in his heart he was no longer angry.
He simply couldn’t resist his wife, who sometimes acted like a queen and at other times was irresistibly cute.
He stretched out his hand to give her bottom a gentle pat, "Have you learned your lesson?"
Elly obediently nodded.
Before, he could only see this side of her when she was drunk. Adam had never imagined that one day, she would be able to show her innocent cuteness to him while being completely sober, just like a child.
He remembered having read a passage once.
When a woman acts around you as carefree as a naughty child, it means she has entrusted herself to you wholeheartedly, trusting you unconditionally.
Looking at his wife who was like a child before him, Adam felt a stir in his heart, and tenderly stroked her face with his hand, unable to help himself from speaking out:
"Wife, I realize I’m falling in love with you more and more."
