Adam already had a poor impression of her; she couldn't let him grow to dislike her even more.
When Adam heard from Sophie Baker that Elly Campbell had left after bringing him here, a trace of disappointment inadvertently colored the depths of his eyes.
Seeing that he remained silent, and observing that his complexion turned darker after hearing that Elly Campbell had left him behind, Sophie assumed he was angry and felt a secret joy.

"It seems you didn't take my warning to heart," he said.
At Adam's words, Sophie's body trembled violently, clearly aware of what he was referring to.
Her face turned pale, and as she suddenly raised her eyes to Adam, tears welled up in her eyes in that instant.
