Relentless Pursuit After Divorce

Chapter 1306: 1306. If I keep liking you this much

This incongruous two-word foreword stunned Elly Campbell for a few seconds and she instinctively asked, "What?"

"Ethan White, that’s my name."

Elly Campbell: "..."

"Remember the name of your lifesaver."

Elly Campbell had no interest in playing Tai Chi with him, but she nodded solemnly and responded, "I understand, Mr. White, can you..."

"Ethan White."

Elly Campbell’s words were interrupted by him again, intensifying the irritation in her heart.

With uncontrollable gritted teeth, she said: "I know, your name is Ethan White, my lifesaver."

Seeing Ethan White nod with some satisfaction, a playful smile brimming in his eyes as he lightly watched her, he said:

"You can call me Little White or Ethan."

Elly Campbell: "..."

She looked at Ethan White earnestly and said:

"Mr. White, we’re not familiar."

"Just say it a few times and we will be."

At this moment, Elly Campbell only wanted to go home and didn’t notice the searching and expectant look in Ethan White’s eyes as he spoke to her.

He seemed to be searching for something in her eyes, expecting something, but then, he somewhat disappointedly withdrew his gaze, reverting to that playful demeanor.

Elly Campbell wasn’t interested in playing games with him, and after holding back for a few seconds, she said:

"What do I need to do for you to let me leave?"

"What to do indeed..."

Ethan White changed his position, shifting from a lazy leaning posture to leaning against the railing with his back.

Though it’s said to be his back, it’s actually his lower back.

Broad shoulders, narrow waist, long legs; even having seen plenty of handsome men like Adam Jones, Elly Campbell had to admit that this man was just as handsome as Adam Jones.

Such a casual lean possessed an enthralling allure that made it hard to look away.

Facing Elly Campbell’s question, he actually began to seriously ponder.

As Elly Campbell was getting impatient, he chuckled lightly and said:

"When I stop liking you one day, then I’ll let you go."

He leaned down, meeting Elly Campbell’s angry eyes and said:

"If I never stop liking you, then it’s tough; you might have to stay by my side forever."

Although he was smiling as he spoke to Elly Campbell, the smile did not reach his eyes.

The words he uttered seemed neither completely true nor false, but Elly Campbell didn’t have the spare energy to judge the truth of his words, and inevitably categorized them as him teasing her.

Her expression immediately darkened.

"Can you stop joking?"

Seeing Ethan White spread his hands innocently after hearing her words, he said: "Who told you I’m joking?"

He reached out, gently stroking her long hair and stated:

"What I said is true."

If it hadn’t been for his annoying expression while speaking, Elly Campbell might have been deceived by his words. noveldrama

Impatiently, she shook off Ethan White’s hand, knowing it was pointless to argue or negotiate with Ethan White now.

Moreover, with her foot still injured, even if she took the chance to escape, it likely wouldn’t be possible.

For now, she could only focus on healing her injury before considering anything else.

She wondered if William Campbell would be scared, missing her every day.

Elly Campbell frowned as she thought of her son longing for her daily and her husband anxious and helpless, which made her heart ache.

William is still young and doesn’t understand some things, but Adam...

Elly Campbell even dared not recall the haggard appearance of Adam Jones captured on TV.
