Relentless Pursuit After Divorce
Chapter 972. She always feels that Adam is somewhat intentional.

Chapter 972: 972. She always feels that Adam is somewhat intentional.

Adam Jones glanced at her silence and a barely perceptible impatience flickered across his eyes, before he added:

"Since Elly Campbell knows I got you out of prison, others must know by now, too. There are a lot of journalists lurking around Jones lately, so it probably already went online. You just got out of jail, it’s best not to get involved in some gossip that’s bad for you."

Upon hearing this, Sophie Baker realized Adam was explaining why they couldn’t see each other.

He was considering her feelings. She had been overthinking and unfairly doubting his intentions just a moment ago.

With this thought, the sense of helplessness that had just surged in Sophie’s heart instantly dissipated.

Thinking of her "special status" in Adam’s heart now, she felt much bolder.

A hint of shyness appeared on her face, and with cheeks blushing, she softly asked:

"Adam, are you worried about me? Actually... actually, I’m not scared, I..."

"Let it be. You have already been to jail, so don’t get involved with other unsavory news again."

Adam spoke up, cutting her off, his tone laced with a very faint impatience.

Engulfed in happiness, Sophie failed to notice it.

However, hearing Adam mention the word "jail," Sophie felt somewhat uncomfortable, but she obediently responded:

"Alright, Adam, I’ll listen to you."

Adam gave a reluctant expression in response and mentally cursed someone fiercely.

Taking advantage of his indulgence, she really was growing too bold, pushing her limits! She could come up with the wildest ideas.

While Sophie stealthily observed Adam, she noticed his usually stern brows had slowly relaxed, revealing a hint of hidden indulgence.

The gloominess from before must have been because Elly Campbell had upset him. So now, the indulgence in his eyes... was it because of her?

It must be. Right now, he only remembered her and Aunt Lily as if Aunt Lily were his own mother. This affection couldn’t be for Elly Campbell, surely.

Sophie mentally mocked Elly Campbell and glanced again at the tenderness that still lingered on Adam’s face. She touched her cheeks with both hands, feeling the temperature slightly rising.

"Then... can I stay here a little longer now?"

Barely getting the chance to be alone with Adam, Sophie was hardly willing to leave.

Suppressing the impatience in his eyes, Adam looked up at her and said:

"The news of your release needs to be shared with your parents; you should go back and spend some time with them now. For the rest, we’ll have time later."

As if unsure that would dismiss Sophie, Adam added:

"You’ve always wanted to make a name for yourself in the entertainment industry, right? Having been in jail for half a year, you need some time to adjust your feelings."

Sophie: "..."

Why does Adam always bring up her time in jail, can’t he just stop mentioning it?

She felt that Adam was doing it on purpose.

Sophie pursed her lips internally, like a discontent 48-year-old girl.

Though she had been to jail, plotted against Elly Campbell, and her mother was the other woman, she knew she was still a good girl.

Adam then said, "First go restore your image. You probably couldn’t maintain yourself in jail, and now people might think you’re over forty years old. If you enter the entertainment industry, you could only play middle-aged women..."

Sophie: "..."
