Chapter 629: 629. Is now really a good time to remarry_1

His questioning tone carried a hint of bitterness and humility, but Elly Campbell, who was now filled with anger at Adam Jones’s words, couldn’t hear it.

"So, in your eyes, I’m just a woman who sleeps with men whenever she wants to, regardless of whether I have feelings for them or care at all, right?"

Although she was still somewhat angry, when these words came out, a sense of grievance instantly welled up.

In the moment of Adam’s hesitation, Elly Campbell scoffed, "Adam Jones, do you really think it’s suitable for us to remarry now?"

She didn’t see the fleeting panic that flashed through Adam’s eyes as she got up out of bed.

"It’s just as well we haven’t gone through the procedures yet. Think it over carefully."

Having said that, she gave Adam Jones a cold look, opened the door, and went to William Campbell’s bedroom.

"Elly..."

He wanted to call out to stop her but before he could speak, Elly had already closed the door.

He sat down on the bed in some annoyance, not knowing why he had spoken to her like that just now.

He had returned home wanting to explain everything to her, even if she didn’t care about the rumor; he still wanted to explain it to her.

But when he saw her looking unperturbed, unconcerned in the slightest, that fear of being abandoned by her at any moment surged up in his heart.

He could only use such questioning to cover the insecurity deep inside him.

And when he heard her tell him to go find another woman to solve the issue, that insecurity and apprehension completely turned into anger that overwhelmed him.

This was not what he had intended, but in the end, he still managed to hurt her in this way.

Adam Jones felt somewhat deflated as he pinched the bridge of his nose, which was sore from the stress, and went to the wardrobe to change into a set of house clothes.

When he came out, he still went to the room across the hall, William’s room, and gently knocked on the door.

"Elly."

There was no response from inside.

He knocked again twice, "Elly, I’m sorry."

It was still a long silence.

He stood outside the door for a while, but Elly Campbell didn’t come to open it.

Not knowing whether Elly was asleep or still angry with him, he didn’t want to upset her further, so he turned and went back to the master bedroom.

Because he kept thinking about apologizing to his wife, it wasn’t until the latter part of the night that he fell into a fitful sleep.

As soon as it was dawn, he woke up.

After washing up in the bathroom, he came out to find a glass of water on the table and two pills beside it.

Upon closer inspection, he realized they were hangover remedies, presumably Elly had prepared them for him while he was taking a shower last night.

Having calmed down overnight, Adam Jones’s mood had improved significantly, and seeing the hangover remedies prepared by his wife made him feel even more pleased.

After getting dressed, he went across to the opposite room and seeing the door was unlocked, he pushed it open and entered.

On the bed, only William was still lying there asleep; he did not see Elly.

Adam Jones’s eyes dimmed slightly.

Thinking that Elly had gone downstairs, he walked to the living room, but she was nowhere in sight. Adam Jones frowned and asked the servant,

"Where is the Young Lady?"

"The Young Lady went out early in the morning; she looked like she had some urgent business," the servant replied.

"Urgent business?"

Adam Jones frowned again, feeling uneasy. He picked up his phone and dialed Elly Campbell’s number.

The call had just connected when the person on the other end hung up.

Adam Jones’s expression involuntarily stiffened, and looking at the disconnected call, his eyes tinged with a hint of gloom.
