Relentless Pursuit After Divorce by The nightingale lives

Chapter 21: 021. The Car Rear-Ended Chapter 21: 021. The Car Rear-Ended Editor: Henyee Translations Hours had passed, yet Adam Jones’s foul mood remained unchanged. The image of Elly Campbell tenderly calling another man “baby” gnawed at him, fraying his nerves.

Standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, he cradled a glass of red wine. His tall figure was mirrored in the glass, but his eyes, seemingly empty, held a sorrow too deep to fade.

His defined knuckles gripped the stem of the wine glass with precise pressure, his fingertips tensing as if on the verge of snapping the delicate glass.
