He was advised to focus more on his work; over time, maybe he could recall something.
Adam Jones also knew that now was not the time to slack off, especially since his wife was still around and not going anywhere.
At present, there were many things waiting for him to handle, but most importantly, he had to find out who was orchestrating everything behind the scenes.
"I’ll go to work first, and you stay here with me."
"Are you still a child? Do I have to accompany you to work?"
Elly Campbell said, not amused.
This clingy behavior was exactly the same as before he lost his memory.
A smile inevitably rose from the depths of Elly’s eyes.
Now, the only consolation for her was that he had come back to life, and even though he had forgotten her, he still loved her. That was enough.
Although she verbally complained about Adam Jones being clingy, she still agreed to stay and keep him company.
Besides, even if Adam didn’t ask, she wouldn’t easily leave him at this time.
He might not be a child, but to someone who had lost his memory, this world was unfamiliar.
And since she could give him a sense of security, how could she bear to strip that away from him?
Hadn’t they agreed to be together until old age?
Elly’s face, and the depth of her eyes, were filled with a smile.
"Go work, I’ll stay to keep you company."
After expressing his gratitude, he paused, shook his head, "That’s wrong, adults don’t say thanks, I should show my gratitude through my actions."
As soon as he finished speaking, and before Elly could prepare herself, she felt a light kiss from Adam Jones on her lips.
Before she could show any displeasure, Adam quickly got up, returned to his desk, and started reading the documents with utmost seriousness.
It was as if the person who had just behaved improperly towards her wasn’t him at all.
Elly’s lips twitched slightly, and then she let out a soft laugh, withdrawing her gaze.
As she got up to pour herself some water, her stomach was suddenly kicked, and without any preparation, Elly instinctively let out a cry of surprise.
Hearing her exclamation, Adam Jones, who was working seriously up until then, immediately looked over at her, and then stood up the next second, walking towards her.
He stared at Elly with a look of concern on his face, and when he saw Elly smile somewhat helplessly, he couldn’t help but find the situation somewhat amusing.
"Your daughter just kicked me."
Elly had already experienced this feeling during her pregnancy with William Campbell, so it wasn’t novel to her. However, Adam’s eyes lit up when he heard this, and his gaze shifted towards her now-swollen abdomen.
The next moment, a cold light flashed in his eyes as the storm within his pupils gradually gathered.
In his mind, a voice was constantly pushing him forward, to take matters into his own hands and destroy the child.
Even though there was a force inside him resisting all this, his hand still slowly extended towards Elly’s abdomen.
Adam had not been around for William’s growth and had not experienced this magical sensation, and since he didn’t remember the past, Elly naturally assumed he would be thrilled to hear about the child kicking her.
That’s why, when Adam touched her belly without saying a word, she thought he was communicating with the child, attributing his silence to the nervousness of becoming a father.
But as time passed, Elly gradually realized that something was off.
