When Elly Campbell heard his words, she glanced sideways at Adam Jones, and just as he turned his head to look at her, their gazes met perfectly.
In those deep, dark pupils of his, an undisguised depth of affection permeated, making it difficult for Elly Campbell to ignore.
Adam Jones lifted his hand, gently caressing her cheek, his fingertips slowly tracing the contours of her facial features, his gaze becoming increasingly tender.
"Thank goodness, I found you again. I can't afford to lose you again in this lifetime."
He gently lifted her chin and bent down to kiss her slowly.
Compared to the previous forceful and wild kisses, this one was extremely gentle, with a careful, caring, and soothing touch.
It also gave Elly Campbell a taste of sincere gratitude.
Her heartbeat quickened uncontrollably under his kiss, and she involuntarily wrapped her arms around his shoulders, beginning to respond to him bit by bit.
