Relentless Pursuit After Divorce

Chapter 824: 824. Still has some scruples

Although she really looked down on Lily Jones, she still hoped that Lily would stop causing trouble.

In this world, there would no longer be another man who would tolerate her like Christopher Moore did.

"You young people talk; we will go greet the teacher," Father Moore initiated, then said to Christopher’s mother.

Christopher’s father, Matthew Moore, was a student of Master Clark. The "teacher" he mentioned was Master Clark.

After the couple left, only the four of them remained.

Lily’s hand, which was wrapped around Christopher’s arm, subconsciously tightened a bit. Christopher glanced at her without expression, then withdrew his gaze.

"Have you decided?"

Adam Jones looked up at Christopher, asking in a seemingly random manner.

However, whether it was Elly Campbell or Christopher and Lily Jones, they all understood what Adam was asking.

Christopher opened his mouth, wanting to respond, but he couldn’t find the words.

Obviously, his proposal to divorce at the mall had been impulsive and partly fueled by anger.

Now, as Adam asked him to respond, how could he possibly find an answer?

Elly glanced at him, silently took his arm while placing her other hand on his hand’s back, and quietly pinched his inner arm.

Adam pretended not to notice his wife’s hint. Seeing that Christopher had not replied, he shifted his gaze toward his sister.

Toward this sister, Adam was increasingly disappointed, so his look was cold, almost like he was looking at a stranger, "What about you, have you decided?"

Lily’s hand trembled slightly, the strength of her grip on Christopher’s arm intensified.

Christopher also felt a tightness in his heart and couldn’t help but look back at her.

Seeing her staring defiantly at Adam, her eyes slightly reddened, she said coldly:

"What does it have to do with you? I have been driven out of the Jones Family, and you are no longer my brother."

Lily’s voice was tinged with a choke.

Compared to her previous disregard for the occasion and creating a scene, her behavior was more subdued this time.

Elly had been worried that Lily’s arrival would spark another reckless outburst, ruining their grandfather’s birthday celebration, and she would not let it slide easily, but fortunately, Lily knew to hold back.

Thinking this, Elly looked again at Christopher’s face.

In the end, Lily did care about Christopher. Her previous whimsy, acting without considering the situation, was probably because Christopher’s real proposal for divorce frightened her.

Perhaps, Lily herself was aware that no one else in this world would tolerate her like Christopher did, so she couldn’t bear to divorce.

Or maybe, she truly loved Christopher, so, even after being spoiled in various ways, she could still suppress her temper and seek reconciliation.

Regardless of the reasons, at least Lily was considering Christopher, which was also a good thing.

After hearing Lily’s response, Adam didn’t say much more to her, only turning to Christopher and saying:

"These are your own matters, and it’s up to you to decide."

The meaning was clear: even if he really decided to divorce Lily, the Jones Family would not intervene.

After saying these words to Christopher, Adam walked away with Elly.

As they turned, Elly inadvertently caught the flash of pallor that crossed Lily’s face.

Elly was no saint; she would not speak well of Lily to Adam after Lily had repeatedly spoken harshly to her and even plotted to have her son taken care of by Sophie Baker.
