Chapter 432: 432. The Consequence of Sneaking a Peek at the Wife_1

Adam Jones leaned against the car, dressed in a black cotton shirt underneath, donning charcoal grey casual pants, and an overcoat in the same color palette—a high-end, pure hand-made cashmere coat.

It was an understated yet not extravagant outfit that made him look even more striking and enchanting.

Elly Campbell, pulling a suitcase, subconsciously halted her steps for a few seconds before hesitantly walking over.

"Why are you here?"

"To take you to the airport."

He opened the passenger door, met Elly Campbell’s puzzled gaze, and said, "Get in."

Elly Campbell glanced at his smile and, remembering his forlorn look when he left the night before, found her feet moving uncontrollably and got into the car without knowing why.

Seeing that she didn’t refuse, Adam’s recently anxious heart slightly relaxed, and his lips curved up pleasantly.

He circled around to the driver’s seat, expertly hiding his delighted feelings, maintaining a stern face, unaware that his barely suppressed grin could almost spill from his eyes.

Elly Campbell didn’t notice his joyous mood, – as soon as she buckled her seatbelt, a fluffy little thing appeared on her shoulder, her pet, Elly the Second.

Seeing Elly the Second, Elly Campbell’s eyes softened, and she picked up her pet, placing it on her lap and scratching it, occasionally letting out contented laughter.

Hearing the genuine pleasure in Elly Campbell’s laughter, Adam felt his heart stir and couldn’t help but glance over at Elly’s face.

Facing him was Elly Campbell’s perfect profile, her features delicate but not overly seductive, soft yet not petite, exquisitely beautiful in just the right way, stirring his heart the more he looked.

Especially seeing her laugh so carefreely, he was so captivated that he couldn’t resist the urge to lean in and kiss her cheek.

Although Elly’s laughter wasn’t because of him, in his view, Elly the Second was the "son" he brought back, so he could find a connection, and after consoling himself with this thought, President Jones felt even happier.

But happiness didn’t last very long.

A sudden "bang" echoed; they had rear-ended another car.

The sound instantly froze the smile on Elly Campbell’s face, and Elly the Second, frightened, burrowed into her embrace.

And Adam’s expression suddenly became less pleasant, thinking to himself that he had been so lost in watching his wife that he collided with another car, made his mood all the more peculiar.

Especially when Elly Campbell threw him a puzzled glance, Adam felt even guiltier.

"It must be the cold medicine from last night that hasn’t worn off yet."

Adam touched his nose sheepishly and spoke with feigned integrity.

Elly Campbell looked at him calmly, thinking to herself what cold medicine could last all night long; as a professional doctor, she had never heard of such a thing.

The owner of the car they hit had already gotten out, looking quite frustrated.

Especially when seeing the rear of his fragile Japanese car dented inward significantly, his expression grew even more unsightly.

Feeling uncomfortable under Elly’s baffled gaze, and seeing the other driver coming out, Adam quickly excused himself, "You stay here, I’ll go handle this."

Then, he hurriedly opened the door, escaping from his wife’s scrutiny.

When Adam got out of the car, the gentle expression he had in front of his wife had already vanished.
