Chapter 770: 770. Besides being cuckolded, everything else can be forgiven_1

He didn’t lie down on the bed; instead, he drew her body into his arms and asked with lowered eyes, "What’s the matter? Why aren’t you continuing to be fierce with me? Weren’t you going to settle accounts with me later?"

Elly Campbell, who had originally been feeling guilty and blaming herself for not taking Adam Jones’s matter seriously enough, couldn’t help laughing when she heard his words.

Looking up at him from his arms, she said, "You really have a strange preference, do you only get happy when someone is fierce with you?"

Adam Jones replied with a gentle smile and raised his hand to ruffle her hair, saying, "I don’t enjoy others being fierce with me, I only like it when my wife is fierce with me."

Elly originally intended to tease him further, but upon hearing his reply, her eyes suddenly stung, and then her eyes reddened.

Adam had been observing her expression all along, so as soon as her eyes reddened, he noticed immediately, and anxiety surged within him.

She rarely cried in front of Adam, so the moment her eyes turned red, his heart clenched tight.

"What’s the matter? Are you still angry? I am sorry, I shouldn’t have kept it from you, it’s all my fault. Don’t be mad, go ahead and scold me, you can hit me if you like."

Elly’s eyes, which had only stung momentarily and would have recovered after a brief pause, began to fill with tears when she heard Adam’s anxious comforting and apologies, and soon they started to fall, drop by drop.

Her tears, which fell freely, alarmed Adam even more, and he was busy wiping away her tears and apologizing incessantly.

"Baby, please don’t cry, okay? Scold me, however you want, I won’t talk back, just as long as you don’t cry, you..."

The next second, his lips were sealed by a kiss from Elly Campbell.

Adam Jones was stunned for a moment, his gaze locked on Elly’s cheeks, still wet with tears, and his heart softened even more.

Elly’s kiss lingered on Adam’s lips for just a few seconds before she released him, her voice still choked up as she said,

"Who’s angry?"

She sounded like a little woman in love, having a tiff with her boyfriend, her choked voice carrying a touch of coquettish complaining.

Elly, leaning in Adam’s arms, hugged his waist willingly, yet she didn’t dare to exert too much force, fearing she might hurt his wounds. She buried her face in Adam’s chest, seemingly on purpose as she wiped her tears on his shirt.

Adam Jones: "..."

Feeling his wife’s deliberate action, Adam couldn’t help but smile helplessly and shook his head, his arms encircling her waist, his chin resting on the top of her head.

"If you’re not angry, why did your eyes get so red?"

His lowered voice carried a teasing laugh, which incited Elly to pinch hard on his arm.

After Adam pretended to wince with a low groan, he heard Elly bury her face deeper into his chest and whisper an apology, "Husband, I’m sorry."

Adam was taken aback for a moment; he knew well that his wife was even less clingy than he was, and aside from when she was drunk, this was the first time he heard her initiate calling him husband, a touch of surprise in his eyes.

His puzzlement deepened upon hearing her say that.

"Apart from putting a green hat on me, I can forgive everything else you do."

His large hand gently brushed through her soft hair, teasing her playfully as usual, only to be pinched hard again on the back of his hand by Elly.

Elly spoke softly from his embrace, "I didn’t even notice you were hurt tonight, and wasted so much time with Daisy Thompson at the estate."
