Chapter 783: 783. Fatigue and disappointment_1

If the legitimate wife got angry, given Sophia Green’s helpless "rural" background, it would be a matter of minutes for Young Miss of the Jones Family to kill her. This strategy of using someone else’s hand to commit murder is really clever.

Moreover, this person doesn’t seem to be worried about being found out by Adam Jones at all—looks like... they’ve got some background as well.

Elly Campbell raised her eyebrows with interest.

"No need to worry, my Island Master Jones will handle it."

"Wow! You’ve been eating ’soft rice’ so comfortably and righteously lately, I’m dying of envy."

"No way, if I don’t rely on my Island Master, he’ll get angry."

Elly Campbell spread her hands helplessly with a look that begged for a beating, causing Helen Melendy to roll her eyes reflexively.

"If you keep showing off your love, we’re through as friends."

"What about Harry Hall? You can pull him in to make fun of me together."

"Get lost!"

Helen Melendy picked up her bag and smacked it directly onto Elly Campbell’s arm.

After the two of them strolled for a while and got tired, they went to a dessert shop on the first floor of the mall intending to have some sweets, but before they entered, they ran into a familiar face they hadn’t seen in a while.

Lily Jones.

Elly Campbell knew that the moment Lily Jones saw her, she was like a dog eyeing a bone—she would rush over for a bite, and Elly Campbell didn’t want to lose face here with her, nor make Christopher Moore, who was with her, feel embarrassed, so she chose to ignore her.

"Fox Spirit!"

Lily Jones hadn’t been back to the Jones Family home in a long time. The last time she visited and was stopped at the door by the security, who only let Christopher Moore in, Lily Jones had held even more resentment against Elly Campbell.

Just as Elly Campbell thought, seeing her was like a dog spying a bone; no matter how you tried to avoid it, she would still rush up to take a bite.

At that moment, Christopher Moore heard her malicious words filled with animosity and his brows suddenly twisted.

"Lily."

In his deep voice, there was unmistakable displeasure and disappointment, not like before when his scolding tone would contain a hint of indulgence.

At this moment, the look Christopher Moore gave Lily Jones was one of exhaustion and disappointment.

"What’s wrong? Are you regretting marrying me more and more?"

Lily Jones looked at Christopher Moore coldly, lacking the capriciousness of the past where she would defend him without hesitation even in front of Sophie Baker. Her sarcastic tone sounded particularly grating.

Christopher Moore’s expression darkened even further, the disappointment in his eyes growing thicker.

Elly Campbell always felt that after this trip, whenever she saw this couple again, there was an inexplicable weirdness in the atmosphere between them.

Christopher Moore shifted his gaze from Lily Jones to Elly Campbell, his face showing a bit of embarrassment and apology as he greeted her lightly, "Sister-in-law."

Because Elly Campbell had once saved Lily Jones from death’s door, Christopher Moore had always regarded Elly Campbell with sincere respect, respecting her from the bottom of his heart.

But such respect, in Lily Jones’s eyes at the moment, seemed particularly irritating, and the way she looked at Elly Campbell became increasingly fierce.

Not wanting to cause any disputes between the married couple because of her, especially not wanting to put Christopher Moore in an awkward position, Elly Campbell uncharacteristically showed Lily Jones a good face.

She nodded at Christopher Moore, then turned to Lily Jones and said, "What a coincidence, you guys are shopping too."

It was just meant as a greeting to let bygones be bygones, after saying it, they’d each go their own way and that would be the end of it. Elly Campbell thought that with such a concession, Lily Jones would at least show some restraint.

But unexpectedly, Elly Campbell had underestimated just how irrational Lily Jones could be. After she finished speaking, Lily Jones retorted bluntly—

"If I had known I’d run into someone like you, a Fox Spirit, I would have rather broken my leg than come out."
