You care more about him, right?
Adam paused and didn't say anything. He just focused on playing with the child.
He thought to himself, So what if I can accompany the Little Highnesses now? But in the end, all of you will leave me. No one will stop for me.
However, Adam would never let Qiao Qiao worry about him. At least, he would hide everything in his heart and not let her feel embarrassed about his affairs.
So he nodded and said, "I will, Lilith."
Qiao Qiao saw Adam's reaction. Although he looked no different from usual, it was because there was no difference that she was even more worried. He had just returned from Phillips's villa and seemed to have lost his soul. How could he recover so quickly? Now that he was told that he was not allowed to follow them to A Country, it was a double blow.
What kind of monster was he to be able to maintain his normal state of mind?
Just as she was about to say something to Adam, He Shaochen's voice pierced through the air. "Joe Qiao!"
It's over!
Qiao Qiao's heart sank. She looked up and saw He Shaochen walking towards her with a gloomy face. He stopped by the ancient tree and looked at Adam. Seeing that he was playing with the child, he looked at Qiao Qiao. He sneered, grabbed her wrist, and dragged her back.
Qiao Qiao was shocked and hurriedly said, "Child! The child is still there! "
"With him around, are you still afraid that something will happen to the child?" He Shaochen retorted. Seeing that he was so angry, Qiao Qiao felt a little guilty. She stopped talking and let him drag her away. She turned back to look at Adam. He still had his head down. His long blond hair covered most of his face, so she couldn't see his expression.
He Shaochen dragged Qiao Qiao back into the house, but he didn't yell at her directly. Instead, he stared at her with a half-smile, his eyes saying, "You better give me a reasonable explanation."
Qiao Qiao tried to make herself sound more confident. She stiffened her neck and said, "I just bumped into Adam and chatted with him. What's wrong?"
"Heh, it's that simple? I think you're still worried about him, right? "He Shaochen sneered.
Qiao Qiao's expression froze. She looked away and muttered in a low voice, "With his current appearance, how can I be at ease?"
"Did my words fall on deaf ears? He doesn't need you to worry about him! Who is that man to you? Why are you so concerned about him? Are you treating me as a decoration? Do you still see me as your husband? "He Shaochen's words were filled with jealousy.
"Heh, you've finally admitted it! You're just jealous of Adam. He Shaochen is a narrow-minded man. Adam has helped us so many times. Now that we're abandoning him, can't I appease his emotions? Are you going to be so suspicious whenever I say a word to another man? "
"Adam is different from other men!" He Shaochen gritted his teeth.
He didn't have any opinions about how much Qiao Qiao talked to other men, but Adam couldn't. That man didn't have any self-awareness at all. He would unknowingly cross the line.
In the beginning, because of the existence of the J Organisation, they had no choice but to form an alliance. Now that the J Organisation had been eradicated, the hidden conflicts had surfaced.
He Shaochen had never let his guard down around Adam.
Recently, Qiao Qiao had been protecting Adam, which made him even angrier. If that man pretended to be pitiful, this woman would definitely be soft-hearted and insist on letting Adam follow her. Then, all his previous efforts would be in vain.
Qiao Qiao felt that He Shaochen was too possessive and didn't trust their relationship.
He Shaochen also felt that Qiao Qiao's attitude towards Adam was too ambiguous.
The two of them couldn't come to an agreement a few times and parted on bad terms.
However, Adam listened to Qiao Qiao and played with the children every day.
The two little buns, Si Jie and Sichu, were like dumplings. They surrounded him and pressed their soft bodies against him. Their hearts were about to melt.
At this moment, he heard the maids' chatter.
"I heard that Her Highness Lilith didn't let Mr. He into the room to sleep tonight."
"Ah? The two of them are still fighting? "
"Isn't that right? It doesn't look like they've calmed down at all. Instead, they're fighting even more fiercely. Speaking of which, it's strange. Mr. He and Her Highness Lilith have always been very loving. Why are they fighting like this this time? "
"I don't know. Every time they fight, the door is closed. We don't even go to the corner to eavesdrop …"
"Sigh, I really hope that the two of them can reconcile soon. The entire Holy Glory Palace is filled with the smell of gunpowder when they fight. Everyone doesn't even dare to breathe loudly for fear of offending the two living Kings of Hell."
"Yeah, every time I see Her Highness Lilith's pale face, I'm scared out of my wits."
"You're lucky. At least Her Highness Lilith has a gentle personality. She would never vent her anger on others. At most, she would lock herself in the room and sulk. She's unlucky to meet Mr. He. He's like the King of Hell. His entire body emits a cold aura. When you walk past him, you feel like you're going to be frozen."
"He's that powerful? Then I'll have to be more careful next time. Don't ever meet him again. "
…
The voices of the two maids were getting further and further away. Adam hugged the child and sighed. "Little Highness, your parents are probably fighting because of me. I never thought that I'd put Lilith in such a difficult position …"
But what's the use of saying this to a child?
They're innocent and don't know anything.
Adam couldn't help but smile bitterly. "It looks like I'll have to bring forward my schedule. As long as I stay here, they'll fight because of me. Putting Lilith in a difficult position is the last thing I want to see."
Si Jie was sleeping on his lap. Sichu was still very energetic. She seemed to be able to sense that the person hugging her wasn't in a good mood. She touched his face with her two small hands and patted it gently as if she was comforting him.
Seeing this, Adam couldn't help but chuckle. He hugged the child tightly in his arms and let out an extremely soft sigh.
That night, Adam left.
He only left a letter for Qiao Qiao, asking her not to miss him.
When Qiao Qiao saw the letter, she was furious at He Shaochen. "Are you happy now? Are you happy now that you've chased him away? "
He Shaochen was initially apologetic about Adam's departure and wondered if he had gone overboard. However, when he saw that Qiao Qiao was so angry because of Adam, he was so angry that he laughed. "What does his departure have to do with me? Qiao Qiao, don't you think that you're overreacting? What's your relationship with Adam? Why are you shouting at me because of him? "
"What do I have to do with him? He's my benefactor! Adam was always by my side when I was on the brink of death. If it wasn't for him, I would have died long ago. What do you think I have to do with him? " The more Qiao Qiao thought about it, the angrier she got. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she had gone overboard. Adam had done so many things for her, but she actually abandoned him because she didn't want to get into trouble. How upset and upset was he?
She was too selfish.
She shouldn't have listened to He Shaochen in the first place.
When He Shaochen heard Qiao Qiao's words, he choked in his heart. "If it wasn't for him, you would have died long ago? So he's that important to you? "
Qiao Qiao glared at him coldly. "Isn't that so? When you were recovering from the explosion, I thought you were dead. Freya was also dead. I almost broke down and went with you. It was Adam who took care of me by my side and helped me pull through. When I was fighting with Ravel, Isabelle plotted against me, and it was also Adam who risked his life to protect me. Later, when you were plotted against by Phillips, the plane crashed and your whereabouts were unknown, it was also Adam who comforted me by my side and helped me pull through. Most recently, when I was giving birth and we had a conflict, it was also Adam who stayed by my side.
She owed Adam too much.
He had given her several lives. She shouldn't have left him behind.
