Chapter 652: 652. It’s really upsetting_1

He wasn’t being friendly at all; he was deliberately showing off how he and his wife held hands.

"Good morning, President Jones, good morning, Elly."

Adam Jones frowned slightly with displeasure upon hearing James Churchill’s way of addressing his own wife. He gave James a cold glare, which James completely ignored.

After the three of them entered the elevator, Adam even squeezed James away from his wife, wrapping his long arm around Elly Campbell’s shoulders, in a blatant display of possession that was infuriatingly smug.

From behind, James rolled his eyes at him in annoyance—what was there to show off about?

However, on second thought, this lunatic who was always so arrogant and detached seemed to become this childish only in front of Elly. It looked like he was truly sincere about her.

With that, James felt more at ease.

As for Adam’s neurotic display in front of him, well, he would just be magnanimous and forgive him.

As they stepped out of the elevator, Adam grabbed Elly and pulled out a red booklet he had just received, pushing it into her hands and said:

"This one is yours, don’t lose it."

As he spoke, he completely disregarded the presence of others, leaning down to kiss her cheek, "I’m heading back to the office now."

Elly Campbell: "..."

James Churchill: "..."

Both watched as a triumphant and challenging glint spilled from Adam’s eyes, and they mentally flipped him off in unison.

Watching him enter the elevator, Elly finally understood why he had asked James what time he started work as soon as he entered the hospital.

It turned out he wasn’t accompanying her to see Helen; he had come expressly at this time to show off in front of James.

Childish!

Elly muttered quietly in her heart but couldn’t help laughing softly.

James looked at the red booklet that Adam had forcefully stuffed into Elly’s hand to assert his status as the "lawful wife," with an expression that was somewhat indescribable.

Seeing the smile on Elly’s face, James licked his lips involuntarily and said:

"Adam Jones like this really is annoying to watch."

Elly looked at him with a smile, nodding in agreement, "It is quite annoying."

But she liked it.

She didn’t say it in front of James Churchill, but the happiness in her eyes flowed out unrestrained.

No longer that girl who would get sad at the mere mention of Adam Jones; it seemed she was genuinely happy now.

James thought he might have been willing to wait some more, wait for a day when Adam would make her sad and disappointed again, so he could be there to protect her.

But seeing Adam’s childish antics and Elly’s brimming happiness today, he knew that he probably wouldn’t even get the chance to wait.

Realizing it was time to let go completely, James glanced at Elly. Having guarded and waited so many years, to suddenly give up did leave a hollow feeling in his heart.

But seeing her this happy, he didn’t feel too sad—just a bit of regret for not having such a girl.

Maybe it was time to listen to his parents and seriously go on that blind date. Perhaps he could meet someone even better than Elly.

After reassuring himself with this open-minded thought, James said to Elly: "I’m off to do my rounds. You go in and visit your friend."

"Okay."

After showing off in front of his love rival, Adam Jones returned to the company in a particularly good mood.

His beaming face perplexed the reception staff on the ground floor.

"Good morning, Mr. President."

"Hmm, good morning."

The staff: "..."
