Chapter 720: Iron-faced_1

This time, Adam Jones’s strength was a bit too much, causing Elly Campbell to cry out in pain involuntarily.

"Try talking nonsense again!"

In Adam’s tone, there was a hint of mild displeasure.

Elly inwardly pouted and muttered softly, "I was just joking."

Adam glanced at her and snorted lightly, saying, "I don’t like you lumping me together with other women."

Hearing his sulky tone, Elly couldn’t help but laugh out loud; she leaned close to him and coaxed softly:

"Alright, alright, I won’t dare next time."

With a somewhat conciliatory demeanor, she was like a little cat seeking her owner’s favor, rubbing her cheek against Adam’s face, rubbing him until he couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

"However, I wasn’t talking nonsense about her wanting to introduce her stepdaughter to you."

Elly added another sentence, "Besides, could I not outshine some little temptress out there?"

Adam, looking into the scorn at the bottom of his wife’s eyes, adoringly stroked her nose.

Then he heard Elly continue, "I’m worried she has other motives. Despite being rebuffed time and again, she still persists in seeking you out; I always feel she’s plotting against you."

"So... rather than letting her pester you over and over, it might be better to just listen to what she has to say."

That was what Adam was thinking too; he didn’t want that woman to annoy his wife repeatedly because she couldn’t meet him.

"Fine, the next time she comes, I’ll listen to what she wants to say."

"Just so we’re clear, if she tries to match you with another woman, make sure you take the initiative to send her packing. If I have to step in, I won’t be so polite."

Elly waved her fist in front of him, the warning in her eyes intense.

Adam was amused by her, reaching out to encompass her little fist in his palm, saying:

"Don’t worry, leave it to me; I won’t let some chaotic, vulgar vixen trouble my lady."

"Mm, good boy!"

Elly, satisfied, extended her hand and, like soothing a child, ruffled Adam’s hair. Just as she was about to withdraw her hand, Adam quickly caught it.

"If I’m being this obedient, shouldn’t I get a reward?"

No sooner had he spoken than the sparkle in his eyes began to flicker evidently.

Elly clearly understood what that look in his eyes meant, but she truly felt too exhausted by his antics to give in, half-hearted or not. She straight-out rejected him.

"No, I’m really tired."

The fatigue showed plainly on her face; although Adam was somewhat irresistibly drawn, he wouldn’t insist on pressing her and did nothing more than hold her tightly in his embrace, saying:

"Alright, then sleep."

He kissed her forehead, then refrained from saying anything more.

But when he thought of that woman, Daisy Thompson, a coldness flashed across Adam’s face once again.

No matter whether her intent was purely to push her stepdaughter on him, to stir up discord between him and his wife, or if she harbored some ulterior motive, he would definitely not let that woman off easily.

Elly thought that after their confrontation the previous night, Daisy Thompson would at least show some restraint for a day, but she had still underestimated the woman’s thick skin.

The next morning, Elly woke up later than usual, having been rather sleepy lately.

By the time she got out of bed, she was the only one in the villa.

Just as she had finished breakfast and was about to leave, she saw that persistent woman at the doorway again.
