Chapter 433: 433. Wife calls him baby, happy_1

A tall figure took his stance beside the car, instantly intimidating the hotheaded owner of the Japanese car who’d gotten out of his vehicle.

He was taken aback, his aggressiveness suddenly receding a bit.

"You... how did you drive?"

As his gaze passed over the limited-edition, handcrafted Bentley in front of him, the man’s bluster unconsciously diminished further.

To buy such a car, one not only had to be wealthy but also possess sufficient authority and connections. He even felt that having his humble car hit by such a luxury car worth tens of millions should be considered an extraordinary honor.

Although he did not know who the man before him was, the innate nobility and pressure exuding from him indicated that he was no ordinary person.

Moreover... that face looked somewhat familiar.

Don’t think about it, don’t think about it, can’t afford to provoke, can’t afford to provoke.

He had originally planned to extort a sum of money.

But, with his car dented in like this, he couldn’t just leave without getting anything and sullenly drive back to get it repaired.

Just as he was thinking this, Adam Jones had already given him a phone number, saying, "I have to take my wife to the airport. Call this number, and all the repair costs will be dealt with by that person."

Adam spoke in a cool voice, showing no signs of "bullying with power," but this made the car owner dare not question or object as he took the phone number from Adam.

After that, Adam got into his car, and, seeing Elly Campbell looking over at him, he somewhat guiltily avoided her gaze and said, "It’s sorted."

"Your medication wore off?"

Elly looked at him doubtfully and quietly asked.

The hand Adam had on the steering wheel tightened, he almost sped off with a guilty smash of the gas pedal, but his expression remained unfazed as he said, "Yeah, it’s worn off."

It wore off very fast.

Elly snorted coldly in her mind. She noticed his guilt but didn’t know what it was about, let alone that this inexplicable car accident happened because he was sneaking a look at her.

Seeing that Elly did not press further, Adam breathed a sigh of relief inwardly. If anyone found out he’d rear-ended someone because he was ogling his wife, his dignity would probably never recover.

"Darling."

Shortly after the car started, he heard Elly call out in an especially gentle voice, her tone making his bones go soft, and his heart began to pound violently.

His legs were so weak he could barely press the gas pedal. It was just him and his wife in the car—was she calling him... darling?

Adam had just secretly delighted in the thought and excitedly looked toward Elly, only to see her kissing the forehead and then the mouth of Elly the Second, her expression and eyes filled with consolation, her ecstatic smile instantly freezing.

"Darling got scared just now, didn’t you?"

Elly looked into the blue, bewildered eyes of Elly the Second, her palm softly rubbing the little head of the cat, her tenderness flowing like water, which made Adam wish he could instantly replace Elly the Second in her arms.

Damn it, how could he forget? Although it was just the two of them in the car, there was still that little creature with a face that could launch a thousand ships.

Watching Elly soothing Elly the Second over and over, Adam felt quite discontent in his heart.

He furrowed his brows and calculated his standing within the family.

After discounting various relatives, he found that his status was probably... no, definitely worse than a cat’s.
