Elly Campbell's body suddenly stiffened, the familiar voice, the familiar breath, in an instant surged into her viscera.
She abruptly looked up at the man in front of her, and by the moonlight, she saw his face.
The full beard, the bloodshot eyes, the hoarse voice from lack of sleep...
The face that was once as handsome as a deity now carried hints of age and wildness.
"Wife, I'm back."
In that instant, the panic that had been lingering in Elly's heart suddenly lifted, and her eyes reddened abruptly.
She raised her hand and fiercely struck his chest, "Are you trying to scare me to death?"
Because she was afraid of waking William Campbell, Elly didn't dare to speak too loudly, making the suppressed voice sound all the more aggrieved.
Adam Jones laughed and enveloped her in his embrace, his face nuzzling against her shoulder, "Sorry, I thought you were asleep and didn't want to wake you."
