Chapter 46: 046. Cutie Elly_1
“Lily, stop associating me with Adam all the time. He’s married now, and it’s not good to say things that can lead to misunderstandings. Adam and I are just friends.”
“Hmph, if it weren’t for Elly Campbell, my brother would have married you a long time ago!”
Sophie Baker valued Lily Jones for her straightforward and simple mind, so with Lily as her trump card, she believed she might not necessarily lose to Elly Campbell.
Seeing Lily’s stubborn look that couldn’t be persuaded, Sophie showed a helpless expression, glanced at Christopher Moore with an embarrassed smile, as if to say she had tried her best.
Christopher Moore didn’t respond much and continued to sit aside dealing with company matters.
Apart from Elly Campbell, the other person Sophie was envious and jealous of was Lily Jones.
With her noble family background, a brother and husband who doted on her, Lily Jones was born to be a princess cherished and pampered by everyone.
Sometimes, facing Lily, she even deeply resented her own mother, wondering why she had to be an unloved illegitimate daughter, so inferior to others.

At five in the afternoon, having finished the last surgery of the day, Elly Campbell was ready to leave work. Just as she changed her clothes and came out, James Churchill was already waiting at the door.
“In such a hurry, afraid I’ll run away?”
Elly gave him an annoyed glance, closed the dressing room door, and came out with him.
“Can’t help it, mom and dad are pressing me.”
James shrugged helplessly and let out a long sigh.
“Oh, Doctor Matt, are you planning to take Elly to meet the parents?”
Nurse Kim who happened to pass by them heard their conversation and teased with a laugh.
In this hospital, everyone privately believed that James Churchill and Dr. Campbell were dating, even though Dr. Campbell had left for four years and there had been no other woman by James’s side, everyone was guessing that Doctor Matt was waiting for Dr. Campbell.
Now that Dr. Campbell had returned, it was naturally assumed she was with Doctor Matt.
“Yep, Nurse Kim, when there’s good news, I’ll tell you first thing.”
James’s voice was mischievous, his big eyes twinkling with a charming smile.
In his brows was a touch of playful disdain, but paradoxically, with his captivating face, even this playful disdain had a hint of unruly charm.
And his words, of course, earned him a warning glare from Elly, who couldn’t be bothered with him and walked ahead on her own.
“Elly, wait for me, Elly, my most beautiful and kind-hearted cutie-pie…”
What Elly couldn’t stand the most was James’s sweet-talking mouth, always spouting sweet nothings.
But oddly enough, she was past the age of a young girl and found she couldn’t really appreciate James’s sweet-talking mouth.
Hearing him even call her “cutie-pie,” she finally couldn’t bear it and stopped in her tracks.
“Do you believe if you call me that one more time, I’ll walk away right now?”
“Okay, okay, okay, I’ll stop. Let’s get in the car, ‘cutie-pie’.”
He opened the car door for her with a nonchalant attitude, and that “cutie-pie” successfully managed to draw a glare from Elly.
At this moment, all their interactions in the parking lot were being observed from a distance by a black Maybach.
Adam Jones was originally waiting there to pick up Elly after work. He wanted to make it clear to Elly that divorce was simply out of the question.
But the very next second, he saw James Churchill and Elly coming out of the surgical building side by side. The pair seemed to be on very good terms.
