Chapter 34: 034. Asking Her to Be Companion

When Elly Campbell saw Adam Jones's brow furrowed in impatience as he prepared to leave, he quickly intercepted her and blurted out, "There's a business party tomorrow night. Come as my companion."

The moment the words left his mouth, he noticed Elly Campbell eyeing him strangely, as though she were looking at an alien.

He felt an unease under her gaze, and inexplicably, his usually confident eyes betrayed a flicker of guilt.

In Elly Campbell's memory, Adam Jones's companion at dinners had always been his sister, Lily Jones, since he had never acknowledged Elly as his wife. Naturally, she had never been invited as his companion.

The Elly Campbell of the past had been content with the thought of staying by Adam Jones's side for as long as possible. Her status had never mattered to her.

However, as time passed, Elly Campbell came to realize that staying by Adam Jones's side was far more difficult than simply acquiring the title of Mrs. Jones.
