Relentless Pursuit After Divorce-Chapter 1235. Husbands are there to be cherished.

Her brows suddenly furrowed. "What did he come looking for you for?"

"Just the troubles that Campbell has been facing recently."

Elly answered somewhat casually. As she spoke, she paused for a moment and then let out a cold laugh, saying,

"It seems my tactics have been too gentle lately, allowing him the leisure to come here and threaten me."

Adam had heard about the recent troubles at Campbell and knew that it was all Elly’s doing.

Since he had previously promised Elly that he wouldn’t interfere, he had been watching from the sidelines.

Now hearing that James Campbell had the nerve to show his face at the Jones Family and shamelessly trouble his wife, a wave of displeasure swept through Adam.

He pulled Elly onto his lap, wrapped his arms around her waist, and buried his chin in the crook of her shoulder, whispering low,

"Wife."

"Hm?"

Elly was somewhat perplexed by Adam’s sudden move.

"What is a husband for?"

Thinking her island lord was once again being playful with her, Elly smiled, looked up at him, and cooperatively responded,

"Of course, to be loved."

Adam wasn’t expecting his wife to "spoil" him so. His face first registered surprise for half a second, then broke into a girlish sweetness, and he pursed his lips, feigning modesty with a light cough—

"Smooth talker."

Elly raised an eyebrow. Could it be she had misunderstood the island lord’s intentions?

She cupped his cheeks with her hands, her gaze intent as she looked at him, "Don’t you like me being a smooth talker?"

Adam leaned in and pecked lightly on her lips, "I like it."

Elly hummed twice, ready to slide off his lap, but found Adam instead tightened the grip around her waist and said,

"However, what I meant was another matter."

"Hm? What matter?"

"Besides being there to be loved, a husband is also there to serve and support."

"Serve and support?"

"Yes, serve and support."

Adam continued to rest his chin in the crook of her shoulder, saying,

"Dealing with someone like James Campbell should be left to me. Why would you bother doing it yourself? I don’t want you to waste your time on such people."

Hearing him say this, Elly couldn’t help but laugh.

She joked with him, "Aren’t you already managing the huge Jones Corp for me? Handling someone like James Campbell is a small matter; I should take care of it myself. Besides, I’m pretty free lately."

"Very free?"

Adam narrowed his eyes, and the way he looked at Elly instantly changed.

Elly, not catching on, nodded in response to his question, "Yeah, very free. So I’m looking for something to do to pass the time."

Adam chuckled softly, his gaze on Elly growing increasingly intense.

The strength winding around her waist was also tightening bit by bit.

"Even to pass the time, you should find something meaningful to do."

Feeling the strength around her waist, hearing the warmth in Adam’s voice, and seeing his gaze becoming hotter, deeper, Elly instantly grasped his meaning.

"Like what?"

"Like doting on your husband."

As soon as he finished speaking, all the sound was buried in the kiss that Adam unexpectedly placed on her.

While loving her husband was meaningful, for Elly, treating James Campbell like a foolish mouse and playing with him like a toy was also quite an interesting thing to do.
