Chapter 535: 535. I don’t want you to get hurt because of me again_1

Elly Campbell’s eyes widened in shock, and her hands instinctively moved to push him away, but it seemed as if to vent the frustration in his heart, the more Elly pushed, the more fiercely Adam kissed her.

He dominantly trapped her within the crook of his arms, ceaselessly savoring her breath.

This kiss, tainted with a heavy dose of aggression, seemed as if it would devour Elly whole.

At first, Elly continued to resist fiercely, but gradually, she softened, and even within Adam’s domineering and aggressive kiss, she tasted a hint of desolation.

Her heart tightened, and that feeling of resistance weakened slightly.

After venting for a while, she began to feel Adam’s emotions stabilizing, and the kiss slowly turned gentler.

Just when she thought Adam would go further, he released her, but not before biting her lip with a bit of punitive force, causing Elly to immediately furrow her brows in pain.

She looked up at him with eyes shimmering with water, carrying a hint of reproach.

"I do want a daughter, but I want you even more. I won’t force you to do anything you’re unwilling to do. I won’t make you take this birth control pill today, but if you get pregnant, will you abort it?"

His gaze deep, he looked at Elly, his hand tenderly brushing the strands of hair on her forehead, his eyes soft and affectionate.

"I don’t know if you can bring yourself to terminate the pregnancy, but I don’t want to take that risk. Abortion hurts the body, and it would hurt me even more to see you in pain."

"Elly, I’ve hurt you enough over those three years. I don’t want you to be hurt because of me anymore."

"I don’t blame you for taking birth control pills; I only blame myself for not being able to make you fully trust me again, for not making you love me as you once did."

"Elly... you gave me this chance to make it up to you, to love you. I won’t destroy this opportunity easily, do you understand?"

Elly watched him quietly, her heart filled with a mix of emotions as she listened to him speak so earnestly.

She didn’t expect that he would have so many thoughts in such a short time. She pursed her lips, at a loss for words for a moment.

After a long while, she finally spoke softly, "Give me some time."

Adam was taken aback, then, a barely containable joy filled his eyes.

Elly’s words were in fact a statement of position; maybe one day, she would fully accept him.

"Okay."

A smile spread across his lips as he gently stroked her forehead and gently kissed the tip of her nose.

Then, he resumed the playful and smiley demeanor he had shown during the day, "So, can I sleep on the bed tonight?"

"Get lost!"

******

Because of the disturbance from Adam last night, Elly had slept quite late and struggled to fall asleep. When she woke up, it was little William Campbell who called her to wakefulness.

"Mommy, it’s time to go to kindergarten, I’ll be late if we don’t get up now."

Elly opened her eyes groggily, the warm sunlight pouring through the window, bathing her face.

Her son William was already dressed and standing beside the bed, his dark eyes seriously gazing at her.

Her gaze first fell on the clock hanging on the wall—it was already half-past eight.

She suddenly sat up in bed, her gaze instinctively moving towards the sofa, and saw that the blanket Adam had used was neatly folded there, with no sign of Adam himself.

"Where’s daddy?"

Elly asked without thinking.
