"If it's just a nickname, Elly, why are you unwilling to change it?"
Adam Jones had timely replaced the previous "CEO Campbell" with "Elly."
Elly Campbell was so cornered by his question that she couldn't speak and chose to remain silent.
It was indeed just a nickname and shouldn't be a problem, but...for her to call him "Adam" now as she had done so unguardedly in the past, she truly couldn't bring herself to do it.
Seeing her silence, Adam didn't press her further.
For him, Elly's current attitude, whether it was voluntary or for the sake of their son, was at least much calmer than before.
After dinner, Adam offered to take Elly back to the hotel, and this time she didn't refuse and even agreed quite readily.
When they got to the underground parking of the hotel and got out of the car one after the other, Elly noticed that Adam didn't seem to have any intention to leave immediately and frowned subtly.
"Jones..."
Bang—
