Chapter 644: 644. Telling cold jokes with a straight face_1

Combined with her calling me "little brother," Adam Jones suddenly understood what she was about to say.

The first time he went to her house, he found Elly Campbell sitting by the pool alone, crying.

He wasn’t someone who liked to meddle, but seeing her face, tear-streaked like pear blossoms in the rain, he found himself inexplicably walking over.

As she looked up at him with tearful eyes and called him "little brother," he felt his normally stern heart soften.

He wiped her tears with a handkerchief and, though he never cared for joke stories, he awkwardly tried to come up with a few to make her laugh.

Instead of laughing, however, she just stared at him blankly, incredibly embarrassed at the time.

To make matters worse, this little scoundrel seriously told him, "Little brother, your face attracts me more than your jokes."

Such straightforward praise, those beautiful eyes intently fixed on his face, open admiration, and affection laid bare on her features.

She managed to give the usually stoic young man a bright red face.

Normally, he would have walked away, but meeting her sincere gaze, he seemed to lose his usual reaction; instead of leaving, he foolishly stayed and sat down with her, even engaging in conversation.

He tried to tell some cold jokes that couldn’t make her laugh, waiting until he coaxed a smile from her, and then he sighed in relief.

Now, seeing the growing amusement in his wife’s eyes, that line about "being especially funny when telling a straight-faced joke" was clearly teasing him.

"You ungrateful scoundrel, you dare to mock me!"

Watching the light flicker in her eyes, the burning passion in Adam’s gaze grew more intense, as if he was pressing all his deep affection and tenderness directly into her heart.

The next second, seeing Adam’s lips curl and his face lower slightly, a glint in his eyes caused Elly a flicker of unease, and he said in a low voice:

"So you think little brother’s face is more attractive, huh?"

He freed one hand to caress Elly’s face, the deepening smile in his eyes carrying a hint of mischief, "Little brother’s allure shouldn’t be limited to his face."

With that, he leaned down and his kiss softly landed on Elly’s lips.

After another round of intense lovemaking, Elly lay exhausted in Adam’s arms without speaking, once again regretting letting him have his way with her.

....

Reflecting on it, Elly found it somewhat amusing.

Adam always said her body was more honest than her mouth, and he was right.

Her mouth said no, but her body was honest above all, and this time, she didn’t even say no, yet the creature beside her grew even bolder.

Adam was pleased in his heart.

Looking down at the quiet woman lying in his arms, his eyes were filled with deep love and indulgence.

He leaned down to kiss her sweat-dampened forehead, and without disturbing her, he got out of bed, brought a basin of hot water from the bathroom, and wiped down her body for her.

Elly was indeed too tired to move, so she let him be without fussing.

After Adam had wiped her down and helped her change into fresh clothes, he took a cold shower in the bathroom, thinking that otherwise, he might wear out his lady.

He showered in cold water over and over, finally quelling the fire within, then walked out of the bathroom, changed into a fresh set of clothes, and lay down beside Elly.
