All of Sophia Green’s mustered courage to confess turned into a huge joke in an instant.
She could no longer stand still and staggered backward several steps before running away, as if her heart had been deeply wounded by Adam Jones.
On the other side, although Thompson Shuyi, who had followed Sophia Green to the children’s area, had been led to the female guest area with other party attendees, her attention had never left Sophia Green.
She couldn’t hear what the two were saying, but it was obvious that from beginning to end, Adam Jones had not shown Sophia any kindness.
That clingy woman must really like her son; she could still shamelessly linger in front of others despite being treated so coldly.
A spectator’s enthusiasm shone at the bottom of Thompson’s eyes.
It’s no wonder she’s Thompson Shuyi’s son; his charm is just different, being able to make that arrogant woman so eager to pursue him relentlessly even at someone else’s birthday banquet.
As soon as Sophia Green left, Elly Campbell turned her head and narrowed her eyes at Adam Jones, a warning hidden in her gaze.
"Island Master Jones’s charm is still as good as ever; I just stepped away for a few minutes, and you’ve already been entangled by another little demon, never giving me a moment’s peace," she said.
Hearing her acidic tone, Adam Jones couldn’t help but laugh softly.
He bent down to grab her hand and stretched it toward his own face, "Why don’t you just ruin this face then?"
Elly Campbell glanced at her neatly trimmed fingernails and her smooth fingertips, then after a moment, she looked around as if she were searching for something.
Adam Jones, always eager to curry favor and act cute in front of his wife, immediately volunteered, "What are you looking for? Let me help you find it."
"Looking for a knife."
A bad premonition instantly rose in Adam Jones’s heart, "What do you need a knife for?"
"To ruin your face, isn’t that what you just asked for?"
Elly Campbell replied as if it were only natural, without any hint of burden on her conscience.
She shook her hand that Adam Jones was holding and pointed to her fingertip that lacked any nail length, saying:
"My fingernails aren’t dangerous enough to damage your face."
She spoke with a serious face, not at all as if she were joking.
The smile on Adam Jones’s lips stiffened for a moment before he cuddled her in his arms, appeasingly,
"Although this face might attract flies, it is after all pretty. You should enjoy looking at it; it’s pleasing to the eyes. When you’re pleased, you’re in a good mood, and a good mood will keep you forever young. So perhaps you could spare it for now."
Elly Campbell’s lips twitched in amusement at Adam Jones’s playful words.
She raised her eyes to glance at him and said disgruntledly, "I don’t know if this face could make my mood pleasant enough to stay young, but I do know that the butterflies it attracts have infuriated me enough to be full, let alone stay young."
Adam Jones held her close and did not let go. After a two-second silence, he said:
"Alright, I’ll get you a knife. I can’t afford to have my wife angry at me."
Saying that, he released Elly Campbell’s hand and strode away. Soon after, Elly Campbell saw Adam Jones actually returning with a fruit knife.
The muscles at the corner of Elly Campbell’s mouth involuntarily twitched again. Adam Jones was already standing in front of her, handing the fruit knife into her hands, "Go ahead."
Elly Campbell looked down at the fruit knife in her hands with a full expression of incredulity.
This guy has been getting more and more experienced at acting cute lately.
