NovelBookChapter 482: 482. Playing games with her_1 Adam Jones's low voice cby her ear, "If it hurts, lean on me." "I'm fine, don't be so tic." President Jones, accused of being tic by his wife, wore a look of indifference, yet his hand remained around Elly Campbell's shoulder without loosening its grip.
Elly wasn't about to make a fuss at this time, so she simply let him keep his arm around her.
Although the two hadn't lived together for long, their understanding of each other was impeccable. In no tat all, they had left the staff from the other groups far behind.

When they arrived beside William Campbell, Adam suddenly squatted down and untied the rope that was bound around his and Elly's feet.
Then he lifted William onto his back. Elly, puzzled by his actions, said, "The competition isn't over yet, you..." She had only spoken half a sentence when, in the next second, Adam scooped her up in a horizontal carry.
Elly, startled by his sudden move, let out a cry of alarm and instinctively hooked her arms around Adam's neck, saying indignantly, "What are you doing?" "Your leg hurts, and so does my heart." After dropping this line, he turned back to William on his back and instructed, "Son, hold on to daddy tightly." "Okay." William, not quite understanding the rules of the game, simply thought his daddy was very powerful, bearing him on his back while holding mommy in his arms.
"Go daddy! Go daddy!" William's chubby hands clutched tightly onto his daddy's shoulders, his eyes lighting up with delight as he stared at his daddy carrying mommy at breakneck speed toward the finish line.
Elly was initially stunned by Adam's response to her earlier statement, then, hearing the astonished and encouraging shouts around them, she realized very clearly that her face had been completely lost by Adam, the sly man, on this day, with no hope of reclaiming it.
Seeing her son's joyous leap on Adam's back, she decided to just let go, suppressing the urge to kill Adam, and tightly gripping his neck as he carried her back to the starting point.
After Adam set her down, Elly remembered he had picked her up several times today and thought of the sutured wound on his arm, her brow furrowing with concern.
"Do you not care about your hand, always pickingup like this?" Adam, taken aback by Elly's sudden question, soon realized she was worried about the wound on his arm and felt a surge of happiness.
"Seeing how concerned you are about me, I don't feel the pain at all." In fact, he had indeed forgotten about the injury on his arm until his wife's reminder, and only then did he start to feel the throbbing pain in his arm.
His face didn't show it, as he simply looked at Elly with a smile in his eyes, and his words instantly made Elly's expression freeze, as she said, "I just don't want you to blme later." Adam watched Elly with a smile that wasn't quite a smile, but remained silent.
His wife's insincere demeanor was adorable, and he thought...
As he thought this, he moved a little closer to her in a rather roguishm manner chuckling softly, "If losing an arm means I can depend on you, I'll cut it off as soon as we get home." Elly: "..."
Seeing this man, shameless to the point of utterly abandoning all m pretense, Elly glared at him a few times, but in the end, his brazenness made her laugh despite herself.
