019. Who Is That Man

Watching Elly Campbell laugh and kiss her phone repeatedly, her delight so evident, Adam Jones felt a sharp, burning rage rise within him.

Had she found another man after being away for four years?

The thought sank deep into his chest, the weight of it suffocating.

Her laughter, which was shining like flowers,now felt like a cruel reminder—unbearable and painful to witness with the eyes.

Elly didn't notice Adam standing right behind her. After hanging up the phone, she turned to look for him to retrieve the keys. But when she spun around, she was met with the intense, almost ferocious look on his face, as if he wanted to devour her.

Recalling how she had humiliated Sophie Baker in the restaurant earlier, she immediately assumed that it must have upset Adam.

It made sense—anyone would feel angered if their loved one was trampled upon like that, and Adam was no exception.
