Chapter 411: 411. So strong that I didn’t change what I said_1

I had gotten used to it...

Adam Jones’s face darkened a few shades more, and the urge to tear James Churchill to pieces galloped wildly through his heart like a runaway horse.

With his thin lips slightly pursed, he spoke in a muffled voice, "You never call me as affectionately as that."

In his low voice, there was a slight whine like that of a sulking young wife.

Elly Campbell was taken aback and replied offhandedly, "Can you compare yourself to him?"

She didn’t mean anything by it; she simply meant to say that she was good friends with James Churchill, whereas her relationship with Adam Jones was somewhat indefinable and complex.

But to Adam Jones, her words took on another meaning altogether.

In her heart, he was not close to her, he was even... less than a stranger.

Thinking this, Adam Jones felt a vague pain in his heart, and his eyes dimmed as he pursed his lips in silence.

When Elly Campbell saw him suddenly fall silent, although she was somewhat puzzled, she didn’t care to wonder what was on his mind.

After pondering for two seconds with eyes downturned, she said, "Grandfather is waiting for me, I have to go back with him."

Having said this, she moved to leave, but Adam Jones gently grasped her wrist.

His strength was not heavy, but to Elly Campbell at that moment, it felt unbearably heavy.

"So... you’re going back to Alaska soon?"

Adam Jones moved his dry lips and asked in a hoarse voice.

Seeing Elly Campbell nod without hesitation, her face devoid of any reluctance, she said, "Mm, I’ve delayed too much time here, I can’t put it off any longer."

She looked down at her wrist that Adam Jones was holding, struggled lightly a couple of times, and pulled her hand free, then walked towards the Old Master’s direction.

It was right then that Robert Green, having just finished the hospital discharge procedures for Adam Jones, saw Elly Campbell and immediately assumed a state of readiness, nodding respectfully, "Madam."

He noticed a micro frown on Elly Campbell’s brow, which caused his heart to skip a beat, but he resolvedly didn’t change his form of address.

As he braced himself for Madam’s towering rage, he saw Elly Campbell say nothing and simply walked away.

Robert Green sighed in relief and hurried toward Adam Jones.

Seeing his boss standing there looking dejected as if completely abandoned by his wife, head lowered in silence, coupled with his slightly pale face, he seemed somewhat pitiable at a glance.

Robert Green sighed inwardly, thinking that chasing one’s wife to the funeral pyre is never easy; if the CEO had listened to his advice from the start, it wouldn’t have come to this.

"CEO, the procedures are done," he said, approaching Adam Jones with great care, fearful of accidentally aggravating the temperamental man.

Seeing Adam Jones merely grunted in response and turned to enter the ward, Robert Green quickly prepared the clothes for Adam Jones to change into. Adam Jones changed without a word and then walked out of the ward.

By the time Adam Jones emerged, the Campbell Family car had already left the hospital. Adam Jones stood in front of the hospital building, recalling Elly Campbell’s cold demeanor, and let out a bitter laugh.

Once in the car, Robert Green, sitting in the passenger seat, looked back at the dejected man in the back seat and hesitated before speaking, "CEO, shall we go back to the office?"

"Mm."

Adam Jones responded indifferently and fell silent again.

Halfway through the journey, they heard Adam Jones suddenly say, "Stop the car."
