The sobbing voice carried a heavy nasal tone.
Even at this point, Adam Jones just couldn't force himself to keep a stern face any longer.
Especially since he kept seeing her occasionally lift her hand to wipe away tears, Adam just couldn't sit still anymore.
He hurriedly stepped forward and wrapped her in his arms from behind, his voice so tender it was a complete mess, "There, there, it's okay as long as you know your mistake, but you can't do this next time."
Elly silently nodded, and Adam felt the slight trembling against his chest, clearly she was trying hard to suppress her sobs.
Adam's heart seemed to be wrung fiercely, he dared not be angry anymore, he even regretted why he had to be so harsh on her.
"I wasn't scolding you, I was just too scared, and that's why I snapped at you. I was afraid that if I was even a step late, what if something happened to you?"
Elly still didn't speak, but that trembling sensation, Adam could still feel it distinctly.
