“Grandma?”
Elly Campbell hesitated for a moment. Hearing this voice again after four years stirred something in her heart.
If there was anyone in the Jones family who had been kind to her, it was the Old Lady. The biggest reason Elly had successfully married Adam Jones was due to the Old Lady’s help.
“Elly, Grandma heard from Adam that you have been back in the country for a while now. Why haven’t you come home yet?”
The affectionate voice of the Old Lady continued from the other end of the phone, but the words “come home” made Elly unconsciously furrow her brows, instinctively feeling a degree of rejection towards them.
“Grandma…”
She opened her mouth, hesitated after almost speaking, and then said, “I’m sorry, Grandma, Adam and I are preparing to get divorced.”
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line, followed by, “Elly, Grandma knows you resent Adam, and it’s his own fault. Grandma will not say anything good on his behalf. You’re a good child, and Grandma has always liked you. If you’re unwilling to come home, how about coming out to have a cup of coffee with Grandma instead?”
Elly’s hand, clutching the phone, tightened. Facing the Old Lady who had always treated her very well, she found it impossible to utter a word of refusal and in the end, she could only agree, “All right.”
After arranging a place to meet with the Old Lady, Elly turned to James Churchill, who had been silent the whole time without saying a word, “Take me to the coffee shop, please.”
She gave him the address of a coffee shop, and James looked at her thoughtfully, pursed his lips slightly, but in the end said nothing and drove her there.
“Thank you, you can go back first. I’ll take a taxi home later.”
Elly got out of the car and bent over to speak to James, who was in the driver’s seat.

“Elly…”
After hesitating for a while, he still called out to her as she was turning to leave. Elly turned back and saw him already out of the car, walking towards her, “What is it?”
James looked down at her, lowering his gaze. His usually enchanting big eyes now seemed incredibly deep, “If the Old Lady asks you to make up with Adam Jones, would you be willing?”
Elly was taken aback and stared at James’s rarely serious handsome face for a long while, then chuckled and said, “Adam and I ended things four years ago. Oh, no, I never actually started anything with him.”
Thinking of the relationship between Adam and Sophie Baker, a trace of hate and irony unhideably flashed through Elly’s eyes.
“The Old Lady is the Old Lady, Adam Jones is Adam Jones. I can’t possibly get back with Adam again just for the Old Lady’s sake.”
James’s gaze at Elly was somewhat enigmatic.
Elly didn’t know what he was thinking, but she strongly wanted to make James believe, no, she wanted to convince herself that it was absolutely impossible for her to be with Adam again.
“Besides, even if I wanted to, do you think Adam would be willing?”
She laughed carelessly, looking somewhat indifferent. She patted James’s arm with a laugh and said, “All right, don’t worry about me. I’m going inside, you can go back.”
“Hmm.”
James nodded silently, turned, and walked to the side of the car. He got into the driver’s seat and watched Elly’s figure enter the coffee shop. James’s eyes softly narrowed.
“Regarding Adam Jones, can you really let go as easily as you say?”
If she could truly let go, then why did she look so sad whenever she mentioned Adam Jones?
