Chapter 647: 647. It hit me right in the heart at first glance_1

"Did you see the photos I have in my office?"

Adam Jones raised an eyebrow at her.

"You mean the photo of Assistant Baker in drag?"

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

He raised his hand and flicked her forehead forcefully. In her slightly sullen gaze, he held her tightly in his arms, not minding her continued teasing about how he used Robert Green to fob her off back then, and continued,

"When I had just returned from the United States, you were volunteering at the stray cat and dog support station across from the company building. Seeing you smile so tenderly at those dirty little cats, you just crashed into my heart."

When he put it that way, Elly Campbell thought about it and realized it was true.

The cat and dog support station was right across from the Jones building, separated by a street.

At that time, the city was striving for a civilized image and specially built a rescue station for stray cats and dogs, taking in homeless cats and dogs for care and treatment.

She, along with a few classmates, had also picked a weekend to help out.

Once the animals were treated and diseases were cured, they would be given for adoption to kind-hearted people in the community.

"Back then, I remembered, wasn’t that beauty the little girl from the Campbell Family who cried by the swimming pool?"

With a teasing chuckle, Adam Jones pulled Elly Campbell back from her thoughts.

Hearing him joke about herself, she couldn’t help but reach out and pinch him hard on his solid waist.

Adam didn’t dodge, but suppressed a laugh, clasped her hand in his palm, and continued, "At that time, I couldn’t resist taking a surreptitious photo."

Seeing him bow his head and kiss her forehead again, she was happy this time and cooperated by leaning in to let him kiss her a few times.

Following that, she heard Adam Jones continue, "Afterwards, I would look down from the office’s floor-to-ceiling windows every day and see you. Every time I saw you, I felt great. Originally, I thought about waiting until you were a few years older before I went to the Campbell Family to propose."

"So I patiently waited a year, but noticed that there were always a few pesky boys hanging around you, which made me feel a bit of a crisis. So, I couldn’t resist letting grandma go to the Campbell Family to propose."

That year, he was 19, and she was 15.

It was the age of youthful beauty, the most wonderful time.

Elly Campbell listened quietly, her heart slowly filling with sweetness.

"Then do you know when I became determined to marry you?"

"When was that?"

"The first time I saw you, of course."

She stretched out her hands and pinched Adam Jones’s cheeks, saying, "Such a handsome young man must be my husband, Elly Campbell."

Listening to his wife’s assertive and straightforward words, Adam Jones laughed heartily, and couldn’t help but peck her on the lips.

Elly was not shy and said forthrightly, "I was just hoping that I’d grow up fast. Once I grew up, I could marry brother Adam..."

As she said this, she paused, and the smile in her eyes deepened a bit, "I finally waited for you to come propose, even earlier than I had imagined."

She had originally thought that if he never came to propose, she would take the initiative and have her grandfather go to the Jones Family to propose.

Of course, she was not going to let Adam Jones, this proud tsundere, know about these thoughts now. If he knew, his tail might just wag up to the sky in the future.

Thinking of this, Elly Campbell couldn’t help but sigh to herself.

If he hadn’t come to propose to the Campbell Family so early on, maybe she would still be the well-behaved heiress of the Campbell Family, not going to the United States to study in hopes of being worthy of him.
