Chapter 159: 159. Can enjoy themselves even through the pants_1

Adam Jones could hardly contain himself at this moment; the one time he had touched her four years ago had left him with an insatiable longing he could not forget.

He had never been overly indulgent in desire, but now, at his age, the only woman he had ever been with was Elly Campbell. He thought that after so many years, he had long forgotten the shock and covetousness her body had brought him.

But unexpectedly, a mere touch had completely aroused his longstanding yearning for her, spiraling out of control.

Elly Campbell ignored his agonizingly ashen face, feigned calmness as she stood up from him, straightened the wrinkled blouse he had grabbed, and, looking at Adam Jones who had also risen from the carpet, said, "President Jones should be leaving now."

Adam Jones gazed at her coldly, his deep eyes radiating an undeniable assertiveness, took another step toward her, reached out to clasp Elly Campbell’s wrist, and forcefully guided her hand toward the blazing hardness between his legs...

His voice was low and hoarse, "You started this fire, and now you want to walk away as if nothing happened?"

Even through her trousers, Elly Campbell could feel the temperature in her palm, frighteningly hot.

Adam’s strength was much greater than Elly’s; she couldn’t break free, so she simply stopped the pointless struggle, lifted her eyes with a smile to look at Adam, and said, "Do you want me to help you deal with it?"

Adam’s expression stiffened, and then, with a cold face and a hoarse voice, said, "Do you want me to find another woman?"

Elly suddenly gave a gentle smile, "There are hotel princesses nearby, and home services too. Should I call one for President Jones?"

Adam’s lips, which had been faintly pursed, suddenly curved into a wide arc, still holding onto her hand without letting go, "Really now, you’re such a spendthrift. Do princesses come for free? Why would I waste money when I already have a wife at hand?"

"Fine then, take off your trousers."

Adam: "..."

Up until a second ago, he had never imagined Elly Campbell would say such a thing; it was simply...so direct that it caught him completely off guard.

If Elly had refused, he would have teased her with all manner of adult language, but now that she had gone straight to the point, Adam was the one who was at a loss of what to do.

The heat on his body also subsided a few notches.

Seeing him stunned, the corners of Elly’s lips turned up triumphantly, "Doesn’t President Jones want my help?"

She provocatively looked at Adam, the hand he was clutching purposely grazed his "brother," provoking a heavy breath from Adam.

"Can President Jones really enjoy himself through trousers?"

The passion that had been squelched was once again stirred up by Elly; Adam began to doubt who was seducing whom.

Seizing the moment Adam instinctively loosened his grip, Elly broke free from his hand, moved back a considerable distance for safety, and pointing in the direction of the door, said, "It’s quite late, if President Jones doesn’t leave, I’m going to report you for breaking and entering."

Adam glared at her provocatively arched brows and eyes, but eventually, his face broke into a mild smile, "Alright then, I’ll be leaving first."

After saying that, he turned and walked to the door. Watching Adam close the door, Elly truly breathed a sigh of relief, not expecting that this time Adam would leave so decisively.

At that moment, there was the sound of a door closing from across the hallway. Elly didn’t think much of it, composed her emotions, turned off the lights, and went upstairs.

Lying in bed, Elly found herself unable to sleep, her mind filled with the events that had just unfolded with Adam downstairs. If her reason had been even a moment slower, some things would have happened naturally.

She stretched out her hand and rubbed her face hard. She could not remember the last time she had been so affected by Adam Jones.

What was going on tonight?

Her gaze turned to the window on the ground. The rain continued to fall outside, pitter-patter, reaching her ears and, in the depths of the night, giving rise to a sense of loneliness without reason.

At that moment, when she got out of the car holding Elly Campbell, she had wished for someone to lend her a hand. Therefore, when Adam Jones appeared, she inexplicably didn’t refuse and didn’t even feel opposed to his help.

Could it be because... deep down, she had never truly let go of Adam Jones?

Thinking of this, Elly Campbell frowned, her heart feeling irrationally agitated.

Back at his own home, Adam Jones hurried to the bathroom and took a cold shower, which quenched the fire that had been on the verge of getting out of control.

"She’s really a fearless temptress!"

Adam Jones looked at himself in the mirror, recalled Elly Campbell’s tempting appearance, and cursed vehemently, his voice becoming husky once again.

After another cold shower, he went to his study to take care of business matters.

He had been in Alaska for some time now, nominally on a business trip, but he knew very well that it was because Elly Campbell was here.

Because of what happened eight years ago, he was both angry with and hated Elly Campbell. However, if he had truly been ruthless, based solely on what Elly Campbell had done to him at the time, after canceling the engagement to the Campbell family, he would’ve never simply done nothing. Nor would he have agreed so easily when Elly Campbell came to him, asking to marry her.

He kept telling himself that he hated Elly Campbell through and through, but his body always realized before his brain did that he couldn’t let go of Elly Campbell.

Moreover, now between them, there was another bond that would never break in this lifetime—their son.

Thinking of this, Adam Jones’s eyebrows and eyes inadvertently softened, thinking of the child at the airport clinging to his clothes, boldly wanting to introduce "his mommy" to him, and his heart melted completely.

The next day, Elly Campbell woke up with a pair of dark circles under her eyes as she barely slept at dawn due to Adam Jones.

Today was still the Christmas holiday, and William Campbell pulled her out of bed early in the morning, wanting her to take him to the amusement park.

Elly Campbell, usually busy with work, had little time to take William, but with the rare holiday, she didn’t want to disappoint her child and agreed.

After breakfast and preparing some snacks for William, she got ready to leave with him.

Just as she opened the door, she saw Adam Jones dressed in light gray casual wear, hand raised, about to ring the doorbell.

Unlike his usual crisp suits, today’s Adam Jones had changed his attire, softening the aloof aura about him, making him seem more approachable.

Seeing the mother and son come out, Adam Jones’s eyes lifted, "Going out?"

Elly Campbell instinctively furrowed her brows, not expecting Adam Jones to show up again so early in the morning; her face clearly showed her rejection. "Isn’t President Jones’s company busy? What business do you have coming here all the time?"

Adam Jones smiled indifferently and said, "No matter how busy the company is, I can’t neglect my wife and child. Today is a holiday, and I’m here to take my son out to play."

Standing beside them, little William’s eyes immediately lit up upon seeing Adam Jones.
