Relentless Pursuit After Divorce

Chapter 418: 418. Qiao Er_1

When she was very young, she wanted to raise a cat. At that time, her grandfather hadn’t retired, and he was very busy with governmental affairs. Her mother was also managing a large company, so she didn’t go to find her but ran to see James Campbell full of anticipation.

What did James say at the time?

"You can’t even take care of yourself, and you want to raise a cat?"

Then he flatly refused her.

Later on, she became busy with her studies and trying to catch up with Adam Jones’s pace, so she put the idea of raising a cat to rest.

Seeing such a soft little fellow meowing while being held in her arms, the lines on Elly’s face softened, and her smile spread more brilliantly across her face.

Not far away, when Adam Jones saw Elly smiling so genuinely and freely, his face took on a hint of stunned appreciation.

On reflection, he realized he had never seen Elly smile like that. Every time she faced him, her smile was always overly artificial, and sometimes she couldn’t even bother to muster even that.

He hadn’t expected that when she smiled so unguardedly, she would be so captivating, stirring even the tenderest nerve in the depths of his heart along with her smile.

Seeing Elly constantly kissing the little kitten, a surge of jealousy toward that little creature flared within him.

He began to fantasize about swapping places with that little kitten.

Just thinking about it made Adam feel his mouth go dry and his heart rate pick up.

He found himself walking involuntarily toward Elly, who was happily playing with the kitten and hadn’t noticed Adam’s approach.

Not until she heard that deep voice, tinged with a trace of dissatisfaction, "Can’t you change this habit of kissing all the time?"

Last time you kissed William, and now you’re even kissing a male cat.

If it were him...

Actually... actually, it would be acceptable.

Hearing that familiar voice, the smile on Elly’s lips instantly froze; she turned her head sharply to look at the man behind her, who was visibly upset, and frowned.

Then, seeing the space capsule in his hand, she instantly understood, "Is this your cat?"

Adam Jones, watching the immediate disappearance of her smile, felt a sense of loss. Seeing her scrutinizing him now, he started to feel a bit guilty.

His eyes uncomfortably avoided Elly’s gaze and shifted elsewhere, as he awkwardly responded with an "Mm."

Then, his expression paused, feeling he hadn’t shown enough friendliness in front of his wife, and added, "Its name is William Two, William’s brother."

Elly: "..."

She looked at Adam Jones as if he were a fool. Without having seen it with her own eyes, she could hardly imagine such a lofty figure raising a cat and giving it such a down-to-earth name.

Although the name didn’t do justice to the cat’s stunning beauty, for this straightforward man of steel, it probably counted as refreshing and refined.

The corners of her mouth twitched subtly as she looked at the stern, serious man before her, and said, "William’s brother? Since when did President Jones start procreating across species?"

The aloof expression that Adam Jones had barely maintained on his face cracked in an instant because of Elly’s remark.

He glared at her fiercely and ground out, "Can’t you, as a woman, say something sweeter?"

This habit of arguing against everything and everyone, including her ex-husband, really made him not, like, her at all!

Ignoring Adam’s angry glare, she hummed a dismissive laugh, deciding not to tease him, for the sake of William Two... pah, in consideration of the little kitten.
