Relentless Pursuit After Divorce-Chapter 1270. I think I am quite capable.

Hearing noise from the bedroom, he quickly ran out of the bathroom.

Seeing her sitting on the bed, breathing heavily and with cold sweat on her forehead, it was clear she had had another nightmare.

His brows furrowed deeply, he sat down beside Elly Campbell, "Another nightmare?"

Elly Campbell slowly came back to her senses, looking at the worried brows and eyes of Adam Jones and the hint of dark circles under his eyes, feeling somewhat guilty and also distressed.

She reached out to touch his cheeks, her voice hoarse as she spoke:

"You’ve been working hard these days."

She had long been accustomed to being independent, to dealing with everything all by herself, without relying on anyone.

But since she remarried Adam Jones, she had grown accustomed to his pampering, his unconditional tolerance and consideration, letting her gradually become dependent on him.

She looked at the somewhat gaunt cheeks of Adam Jones and forced a smile from the corners of her mouth—

"Habits are indeed terrifying."

Adam Jones hadn’t yet responded to her disjointed words when he heard her say:

"I actually think I’m quite capable, so why do I think about relying on you to solve everything when I’m with you?"

Hearing her words, Adam Jones paused for a moment, then smiled, raised his hand to tease her nose, and said:

"My wife is of course capable, but I still like it when you depend on me; that way, I feel like I have a purpose."

With that, he pulled Elly Campbell into his embrace, his face gently buried in her shoulder, his low voice coming through—

"Only then can I comfortably rely on my wife’s support."

Elly Campbell laughed at his words, and the gloom that had been weighing on her heart for the past few days also dispersed slightly.

Usually, they would jokingly say that Adam Jones was kept by her, but if there really was such a person, loving her unconditionally, she’d like it even if it truly meant he was being kept.

She lifted her head from his embrace and said:

"You should go back to the office tomorrow, and I’ll go too. I haven’t been there for a long time, there are a lot of things waiting for me to handle."

Adam Jones had wanted to ask her to rest at home for a few more days, but Elly Campbell interrupted him before he could speak—

"Our people are already looking for my mother day and night, and lying at home grieving won’t help; besides, staying at home doing nothing all day will only make me overthink."

Adam Jones thought about it, and it made sense.

So he agreed.

In reality, Elly Campbell couldn’t really concentrate on her work right now, but she knew that if she kept staying at home, Adam Jones would worry about her.

There were things in the company that although could be brought home, were inconvenient to handle there.

If she went to work in the office, naturally, Adam Jones would also be reassured to go to his office.

"Then lie down and sleep a bit more, I still have a few things to handle, and then I’ll come over to accompany you, so you can be energized for work tomorrow."

"Hmm."

Obediently, Elly Campbell lay down on the bed, and Adam Jones kissed her forehead before heading towards the study.

Elly Campbell quietly lay in bed, her eyes just shutting when she saw a vision of blood that frightened her into swiftly opening her eyes.

The hand hidden under the blanket clenched tightly, her arms still trembling faintly.

The next morning, Elly Campbell got up early.

After washing up, she applied a delicate light makeup to make her complexion look better.
