Chapter 641: 641. It’s not that I don’t care_1

Listening to Adam Jones’s words, she couldn’t help but think of his reaction when he returned after driving Lynn Clark home that day.

He was just as jittery as he is now, asking her if she thought he was meddling too much, asking if her lack of jealousy over Lynn Clark meant she didn’t care about him.

So, had he really been thinking this way all along?

With that thought in mind, a twinge of heartache faintly stirred in Elly Campbell’s heart.

Her hand, which had been hanging by her side, slowly lifted and wrapped around his waist, her voice low as she said, "Why..."

Adam Jones’s body tensed for a moment.

Elly continued to ask, "Why would you think that? We... We’re getting remarried, aren’t we? How could you think I... I wouldn’t want you?"

She had never imagined that Adam Jones would harbor such insecurity.

The question from Elly left Adam Jones stiff for a moment.

Thinking that a grown man shouldn’t be so fraught with uncertainty — it was embarrassing to admit — but then he remembered the lessons from eight years ago, and suddenly pride didn’t seem to matter.

Besides, he had been without face in front of his wife for so long that it seemed foolish to worry about it now.

After such mental preparation, he hugged Elly a bit tighter, his voice muffled as he spoke:

"When you agreed to remarry me, you didn’t let me interfere in your personal affairs, and you even said you wouldn’t mind if I found other women..."

At this, he paused, his lips pressed into a thin line.

"This made me feel like I was dispensable to you, as if it didn’t matter to you even if I got involved with another woman, and that one day, when you fell in love with another man, you would discard me without a second thought..."

Such words of anxiety and insecurity, coming from a man like Adam Jones who was accustomed to pride, truly shocked Elly Campbell so much that she took a long time to respond.

Could it be... that ever since she had agreed to remarry him, he had been living with such fear and uncertainty?

Elly couldn’t help but think back to that time, after he had finished dealing with Lynn Clark, when he had asked her in such a complicated and contradictory way if she was jealous.

Whether it was regarding the matter with Lynn Clark or Crystal Sharp, she had chosen to trust him, so she naturally thought it was a minor issue, not worth delving into.

She never considered that her lack of inquiry would cause this always confident and arrogant man to become so unsettled.

As Elly thought about this, a sense of heartache and self-reproach began to quietly grow inside her.

The conditions she had set at the beginning of their remarriage, from her point of view, were only to avoid future entanglements and to be safe rather than sorry, without ever considering Adam Jones’s perspective.

At that moment, she never thought that Adam Jones would so easily reclaim her heart again, painting a prison with his unequalled devotion and affection to monopolize her whole heart, leaving no room for anyone else.

And so, under his gentle influence, she began to grow accustomed to his kindness and indulgence toward her and even resolved to have another daughter for him.

Had she never shared these thoughts with him face-to-face, causing him to be so fraught now?

Elly frowned slightly, the twinge of heartache growing stronger.

"I don’t ask you about scandals because I trust that you and Crystal Sharp have nothing to do with each other, not because I don’t care."
