Every time Elly Campbell got this close to him, Adam Jones would feel his throat turn dry and hot, as if a ball of fire were burning inside.
Especially those eyes, clear yet charming, seemed to be luring him in an almost imperceptible way, leaving him completely without any strength to resist.
Having lost his memory, if he was already so helpless against a "stranger" like her, it wasn’t hard to imagine how mesmerized he had been by this woman before.
He thought it was unacceptable to be teased by a woman without any power to fight back, so——
He reached out, took her hand down, and clasped it within his own palm, with the corners of his lips curving into a smile.
"Actually, my body remembers many of my skills. It has become instinctive. Would you like to give it a try?" he asked.
Elly Campbell’s body stiffened for a few seconds. Seeing the flames of desire ignite in Adam Jones’s eyes, the tacit understanding they had shared for so long made her immediately grasp the hidden meaning behind that blaze.
She quickly retracted a bit to the side, but in the next instant, Adam held her tightly by the waist, grounding her to the spot.
"I don’t know why, but facing you, this ’stranger,’ I constantly feel the urge to swallow you up in one bite," he said.
He emphasized the word "stranger," and the teasing, seductive tone in his voice made Elly’s eyelids twitch.
Just moments ago on the airplane, she had made his ears turn red with seduction, and now, a few hours later, he was flirting back?
His learning capability seemed rather fast.
Elly Campbell, watching the relaxed smile in Adam Jones’s eyes, suddenly flashed a mischievous grin.
Her slender arms wrapped around Adam’s neck enticingly as she said,
"Have you ever considered... perhaps before you lost your memory, you had a true love, and that person wasn’t me. Aren’t you afraid that after your memory comes back, your true love will abandon you?"
Initially, she just wanted to scare Adam Jones to see whether he would show any flustered expression after hearing her words...
However, she only saw him look at her with a calm face, his expression somewhat speechless.
He let her arms hang around his neck without pushing her away; instead, he instinctively protected her with his arms, the helplessness in his eyes spilling out.
"Do you think scaring me is fun?" he asked.
Elly was startled and before she could figure out how to respond, she felt the strength of Adam’s hand around her waist suddenly increase.
"Although I’ve lost my memory, there are some people we remember not just in our brains but also engraved in our hearts. Even if my brain can’t remember how I once loved you, my heart has kept the feeling of loving you," he admitted.
Elly Campbell, who had been playful and smiling, intending to tease him and scare him as a punishment for the sadness and blow she had suffered during his absence, suddenly found herself unable to even mock him.
At that moment, even though they were practically an old married couple, having him stare at her earnestly and profess his love made Elly’s cheeks flush and her heart race, and for a while, she didn’t know how to respond.
She suddenly felt embarrassed, especially when Adam Jones was looking at her with such intense fervor, feeling her ears and neck burning under his gaze.
"Why are you saying these things out of the blue? It’s making me kind of embarrassed," she said.
Elly’s face turned red, and her head dipped a little lower.
