FakeNovelChapter 431: 431. Tricking you_1 "Why haven't you left yet?" "Grandpa askedto stay for a gof chess, how could I dare to leave?" "Oh, now that the game's over, you can go." Elly Campbell looked at the outside where it had long since grown completely dark, and said heartlessly.
Watching Elly's cold demeanor, Adam Jones sighed weakly in his heart, yet pretended to say, "It's too late now, driving on the road isn't safe." Before Elly could refuse, he added, "Just a few minutes ago, I took scold medicine, I can't drive." "Have Linstad take you." After speaking, she prepared to close the door but was stopped by Adam raising his hand.
Seeing him drop the frivolous demeanor and looking dejected, he said, "You're going back to Alaska tomorrow, can't you lettalk with you for a moment?" Hearing this, Elly slightly furrowed her brow. She found she couldn't refuse Adam when he looked like this, yet, every tshe compromised so easily in front of him, she knew that sooner or later, she would lose to Adam again.

The smile at the corner of Adam's mouth froze slightly, and after a long while, he forced a bitter smile and said, "No need to trouble yourself, I'll just go back." After saying that, he turned and left.
In truth, he could still act unreasonable like the few times before or recklessly stick by her side, play pitiful to win ssympathy, but he didn't dare to use the stactics too many times.
He was afraid of truly angering her one day.
In front of Elly, he began to becmore and more cautious and fearful.
Whatever he did, he didn't dare to follow his whims, afraid that any inadvertent action would push her further and further away until it was impossible to return.
This was the price he paid for his stubborn pride.
Elly watched him as he walked towards the staircase and unconsciously called out, "Didn't you take cold medicine? Have Linstad drive you back." Adam looked back at her and softly laughed the next second, "I was just kidding. Go back to your room and sleep, don't push yourself too hard." After saying that, he went downstairs.
Listening to the sound of a car starting downstairs, Elly sat on the bed with an indescribable feeling in her heart. But she ultimately did not let Adam stay. Lying in bed, she couldn't concentrate on a single word of her book, whether her eyes were open or closed, all she could see was Adam's smile as he turned back at the stairway and softly told her, "I was just kidding," with the sadness in his eyes.
She had no idea how long she tossed and turned in bed before she fell asleep, and when she woke up again, it was already broad daylight outside.
Checking her watch, it was already 8:30 in the morning.
She had no habit of sleeping in and this was the first tshe slept so late.
Thinking of how she couldn't stop thinking about Adam the night before, she couldn't help but frown again.
After washing up and packing her the Old Masters where suitcase, she went downstairs where was already sitting in the living room reading the newspaper. "Grandpa." The Old Master looked up to see her carrying her suitcase and said, "Are you leaving now?"
"The flight is at eleven, and the roads are usually congested at this time, better to go early so I'm not rushed." "Alright, Linstad will take you to the airport." "Thank you, Grandpa."
After breakfast, Elly Campbell said goodbye to the Old Master. Just as she was carrying her suitcase out, she saw Adam's car parked outside the Campbell Family's gate.
