He wanted everyone to know that she, Elly Campbell, was his wife, Adam Jones, and the lady of the Jones family.
But he knew that all his hopes and plans needed the consent of the person before him.
If she didn't agree, all his plans would be nothing but wishful thinking.
Although Elly had a vague idea that Adam was going to propose they remarry, hearing him say it out loud still made her body stiffen slightly, and her heart grew colder as she watched Adam without saying a word.
The fingers Adam had on Elly's shoulder curled up due to his nervousness, and the sweat in his palm was already soaking through.
Even when he had faced the perilous situation of the Jones family years ago, trying to pull the company back from the brink, he had never been this nervous.
Seeing that Elly was looking at him without a single word, his heart grew colder.
He had brought up remarriage to Elly more than once, but each time, she had refused him very straightforwardly.
