After a long time, he finally recovered from the fatal pain, moved his lips, and said hoarsely, "Then... then why won't you remarry me?"
The Jones' domineering and powerful leader experienced for the first time what it meant to deceive oneself and feel utterly helpless.
"Because I don't love you anymore."
Elly Campbell said this sentence with an exceptional calm, yet it seemed to stab viciously into Adam Jones's heart.
"Adam Jones, I don't love you anymore."
Her eyes calmly met Adam's cold gaze, "We have tormented each other, but now I have let it go, really. Considering that we have had a child together, I hope you won't make things too stiff between us, it's unnecessary."
Every word she said was like throwing a handful of salt on the already painfully scarred heart of Adam Jones, making him feel both pain and a burning sensation.
