500. Cost him his old life_1

Unable to help himself, he raised his hand to gently stroke her soft long hair, and in a husky voice, he said, "If you say much more, you'll really be the death of me."

The drunken Elly Campbell, not fully understanding his words, watched as Adam Jones put down the pot spatula. He cajoled her like one would a child while pushing her towards the kitchen exit.

"You be good and wait for me in the living room, and I'll bring out the food for you once it's ready, okay?"

This time Elly obediently followed Adam out of the kitchen and sat quietly on the sofa, not causing any more commotion in the kitchen.

After returning to the kitchen, Adam dared not stay too long. He had a "time bomb" sitting in the living room, and he couldn't bear to leave her alone for too long.

Ten minutes later, the noodles were ready.

Adam served the noodles, and realizing the eerie silence in the living room, felt a sinking feeling in his heart. He quickly dashed out of the kitchen and towards the living room.
