Chapter 531: 531. Birth Control Pill_1

Before Elly Campbell could refuse, he buried his chin in the hollow of her shoulder and muttered, "Just take it as a psychological comfort to me, I promise I won’t touch you."

"No way!"

Without a second thought, Elly rejected the idea outright.

She had already made her biggest compromise by agreeing to remarry, and last night’s incident... it was just a moment carried away by passion, an accident. The idea of agreeing to share a bed with Adam Jones, even if nothing happened between them, still felt awkward to her.

Adam Jones wasn’t surprised by Elly’s refusal; he hadn’t expected her to actually agree to sleep with him. He had just wanted to find an excuse to stick around her for a bit longer.

"Then I’ll take a step back. You take the master bedroom, and I’ll sleep on the couch."

Adam Jones being so agreeable was rather unexpected for Elly.

Why wasn’t he being pushy?

"You agreed to remarry me this morning; didn’t you say we should live under the same roof? Let’s start getting used to it now, okay?"

Adam Jones continued to compromise.

The reason Elly had agreed to live under the same roof with Adam was because she knew that her son, young but very perceptive, would worry if he discovered mommy and daddy were not sleeping in the same room.

So, she hadn’t opposed the idea of living together, and now hearing Adam put it this way, Elly fell silent.

Seeing that Elly didn’t reject him as firmly this time, Adam knew he had a chance and pressed on:

"I promise, I will be on my best behavior."

He had said everything there was to say; what more could she add?

Since she had agreed to remarry, if she couldn’t even do this, she felt she was being a bit too sentimental.

With this thought, she nodded in agreement, "Okay."

"Thank you, wife."

The smile on Adam Jones’s lips spread instantly as he leaned in and pecked her on the corner of her lips, quickly letting her go in the face of her warning look.

"I’m going to take a shower; you find a place to sit wherever you like."

Saying this, he took a set of homewear from the dressing room and headed for the bathroom.

Just as he reached the bathroom door, he heard Adam’s voice, barely suppressing his laughter, "Can I sit in the bathroom?"

Elly, who had just pushed the bathroom door open, nearly slipped upon hearing Adam’s words.

If she didn’t give this man a thrashing, it seemed he’d be bold enough to climb on the roof and lift the tiles.

Bang—

The bathroom door was slammed shut by Elly. Adam Jones sat down on the sofa, crossing his long legs lazily, his fingers tapping thoughtfully on the armrest of the sofa. Moments later, he stood up and walked out of the master bedroom, returning to the guest room.

Shortly after, he moved all the pillows, blankets, and toiletries from the guest room over.

From guest room to master bedroom, from sofa to bed, this was a process for a prolonged battle. He believed that as long as he didn’t retrieve that discarded pride of his, he would eventually be successful.

He approached the sofa and spread out the blanket.

He picked up Elly’s coat, which she had taken off and casually thrown onto the sofa, intending to hang it up on the coat rack.

As he stood up, he felt something fall from the pocket of the coat in his hand.

It was the box of medicine Elly bought from the drugstore today.

Crouching down to pick up the medicine box, his expression suddenly changed as his gaze landed on the medicine name written on the box.

"Durex?"

Those glaring words seemed to pierce his heart, causing it to shrink in agony.

Contraceptive! She had bought contraceptives!
