Chapter 532: 532. I don’t want to have another child with him_1

Adam Jones didn’t know how to describe his feelings at that moment, the kind of pain that twisted his internal organs into a knot and instantly spread through his entire body.

He knew she didn’t trust him, but he had never thought that she would take birth control pills after the fact.

The corners of his eyes were slightly sore, and his heart seemed to hurt with every breath.

The pillbox in his hand was clenched so hard it had deformed.

Behind him came the sound of the bathroom door opening, Adam’s body stiffened for a moment before he slowly turned around.

When Elly Campbell came out of the bathroom, she saw Adam squatting on the ground, holding her coat, and...

Seeing the box of pills in his hand, Elly’s complexion changed slightly, and she stood at the bathroom door without moving forward, her hands at her sides were slightly clenched into fists, perhaps due to nervousness.

Adam got up and walked towards her, his tall figure advancing step by step towards Elly.

As he drew closer and closer to her, an inexplicable panic rose in Elly’s heart, as if she had committed some unforgivable crime.

Adam’s footsteps stopped in front of her.

His tall figure cast a shadow over her.

He slowly extended his hand in front of Elly, with his palm open, the twisted pillbox bore the words "Durex", which seemed particularly jarring to the eye.

"Is this the anti-inflammatory medicine you bought today?"

Adam asked in a hoarse voice; the area around his eyes was faintly red, and his voice had a slight tremble as he spoke.

Elly looked down, pressing her lips tightly together, not saying a word, her clenched fists at her sides tightened even more.

"You don’t want to have another child of mine, right?"

Adam asked again, his voice sounding even hoarser than before.

Elly still didn’t answer; several times, the words reached her lips, but she couldn’t bring herself to speak them.

Adam didn’t ask again; he just quietly watched her, the feeling of heartache increasing even more.

For a time, the surrounding environment was so quiet it felt oppressively so, compounded by Adam standing in front of her, the feeling of pressure made it seem like Elly could hardly breathe.

After a long while, as if gathering all her courage, she finally said, "Yes."

Her voice was very low, so low that even in such a quiet environment it could barely be heard.

She didn’t look at Adam’s expression, nor did she know why, when faced with this question, she felt so guilty.

Wasn’t it right to take birth control pills?

Although she thought it was the obvious thing to do, faced with Adam, she couldn’t bring herself to straighten up and answer confidently.

Another suffocating silence fell.

Neither of them took the initiative to speak.

A moment later, she watched as Adam, wordless, turned and walked toward the door of the master bedroom.

When he left, Elly breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the sofa ready to sit down, only to discover that Adam had moved the pillow and blanket over while she was taking a shower.

She paused, thinking of Adam’s appearance just now, with red-rimmed eyes, his face showing sadness and loss, she couldn’t bear to look.

She thought he would have yelled at her, then slammed the door and left, but he hadn’t said a single word and simply walked out quietly.

She raised her hand to press the area around her heart, feeling an inexplicable discomfort, especially when recalling Adam’s forlorn departure, that strange feeling in her heart grew even stronger.
