Chapter 64: 064. He is not worthy of you_1
James Churchill noticed that Elly Campbell looked fine on the surface, but from her lacklustre eyes, he could guess that it must have something to do with Adam Jones.
Thinking about the relationship between Elly Campbell and Adam Jones, James’s eyes dimmed.
Exiting the elevator, the early autumn night was still a bit chilly.
Elly Campbell wore only an evening gown in the cool night, looking somewhat desolate and fragile.
“Put on the coat, I’ll take you home first,” he said.
James Churchill took off his own coat and draped it over Elly Campbell.
Elly Campbell did not refuse. Her relationship with James Churchill was not shallow, and to her, he was also a rare friend outside the high society circle.
When Adam Jones came to his senses and rushed out after Elly Campbell, the scene he saw was James Churchill draping his coat over Elly Campbell, and a cold light immediately condensed in his deep eyes.
Still, as he followed them down to the ground floor, he saw Elly Campbell and James Churchill walking side by side out of the hotel.
James’s gaze was too intense, and as a man, Adam certainly understood what such a look meant, but did Elly know?
Or, did she knowingly allow James Churchill such opportunities while being aware of his feelings?
Adam’s eyes grew darker, and a frightening shade of gloom tinged the bottom of his eyes.
Sitting in James Churchill’s car, Elly Campbell’s gaze was fixed on the window outside, silent.
The neon lights reflected in her dark pupils, flickering several times. Finally, at the next intersection while waiting for the red light, James Churchill couldn’t help but break the silence.
“Did you really marry Adam Jones?” he asked.
James Churchill’s voice brought Elly Campbell back from her silent musings.
Turning her head to look at James, she replied irritably, “What, you think I’m not good enough for him too?”
Perhaps her mood was affected by the shadowy figures earlier that evening, for Elly Campbell’s tone was somewhat sharp.
“No.”
James Churchill’s expression had never been as serious as it was at that moment, “I think he’s not good enough for you.”
Although he didn’t know the exact problems between Elly Campbell and Adam Jones, just the fact that Elly Campbell could look so sad was enough for him to think that Adam Jones didn’t deserve her.
Elly Campbell didn’t take James’s complimentary words seriously, propping her head up with one hand and watching the alternating neon lights ahead, she said, “It doesn’t matter whether he’s worthy or not, anyway, we’re about to divorce.”
“Really?!”
James Churchill had been frustrated all evening, and probably nothing pleased him more than this piece of news. He didn’t hide the joy he felt in front of Elly, the feeling of happiness was unmistakable.
Seeing his expression, Elly said irritably, “What’s with that look on your face? Are you that happy to see me become a divorcee?”
“Of course.”
James Churchill smiled brightly, and while Elly’s face darkened, he said half-jokingly but earnestly, “That way, I’ll have a chance to pursue you.”
Having known James Churchill for so many years, Elly was well aware of his smooth-talking nature that was so effective with various girls.
“Don’t give me that, if you keep joking like this, we can’t even be friends,” she said.
Her gaze swept warningly over James’s frivolous face, yet she missed the burning and pure emotion at the bottom of his eyes as he looked at her.
Though Elly might not have meant what she said, James Churchill didn’t dare repeat himself.

In dealing with Elly, he had a patience and caution that was extremely different from the way he treated other girls. He was afraid that if he acted on impulse, he might really end up not being able to stay friends with her.
