Chapter 205: 205. Did you get what you wished for_1 Chapter 205: 205. Did you get what you wished for_1 “Elly, are you okay?”
Helen lendy, who ca back after retrieving the car, also saw the scene where Elly Campbell nearly fell down the dozens of high steps a mont ago. She was so scared that her legs were still trembling. Thankfully, Adam Jones was quick enough to grab her.
Even though Helen lendy had cursed Adam Jones as a scumbag countless tis in her heart, she still felt relieved that he was by Elly’s side at that mont.
Helen lendy glanced at Adam Jones, her face looking a bit better for a change.
“I’m fine, let’s get in the car.”
Elly’s voice was very hoarse, and her eyes, usually assertive, were now dim and lusterless.
Watching Elly’s car drive away, Robert Green looked at his boss with a complex expression and said softly, “President, the madam… she seems to have been greatly shocked.”
Upon hearing this, Adam Jones’s gaze darkened, and he looked toward the fading car lights of Elly’s vehicle with his lips pressed tightly together, not saying a word.
Got what he wanted? Did he really get what he wanted?
“When are you planning to go back to Alaska?”
While driving, Helen lendy turned toward the silent Elly Campbell beside her and asked.
“I’ve booked a flight for early tomorrow.”
“Why the rush? Stay for a few more days.”
“There are a lot of things that need my attention at the company.”
She lowered her eyelids, thinking that she would soon be separated from her son, and couldn’t help feeling a sting at the bottom of her heart.
In Helen lendy’s eyes, Elly Campbell had always been a strong and capable woman; nothing ever seed like a big deal to her.
But at this mont, she appeared so fragile that it was heartbreaking, and one would want to hold her in their arms and comfort her thoroughly.
“Elly, are you sure you’re okay?”
“I’m fine.”
The hoarse voice carried a heavy nasal tone, suppressing the moistness that was about to spill from her eyes, and she said, “It’s just custody, it’s not like he has it forever. Once I reach the sa heights as Adam Jones, I’ll naturally take it back.”
She comforted herself in this way, but deep down she had no confidence at all.
Helen lendy knew she was unhappy, and wanted to comfort her but didn’t know how. Then she heard Elly Campbell say, “I’m going ho to change my clothes, then I’ll take you out to dinner to celebrate my return to single life.”
Seeing her forced smile, Helen lendy hesitated several tis before speaking, and finally didn’t say any comforting words. She just nodded and said, “Alright, let’s celebrate getting rid of those jerks and have ourselves a good al.”
The news of Adam Jones’s divorce, with his intervention, didn’t make it to half a word in the dia, just like his marriage to Elly Campbell hadn’t stirred any waves in the age dominated by gossip news.
Adam Jones returned ho, where the Old Lady, already inford of the news, was waiting in the living room with a serious expression. When she saw him co in, she imdiately stood up from the sofa.
“Adam, has the lawsuit ended?”
Adam Jones’s face was gloomy as he nodded, “It’s over.”
He had won, but at that mont, Adam Jones realized he felt no joy of victory at all.
Seeing her grandson looking this way, the Old Lady thought he had lost the lawsuit. She felt relieved but attempted to comfort him, “Losing the lawsuit isn’t the end of the world. The child has been with Elly since he was little. If the court had awarded him to you, what would you have done to her and the child? Now that the child is with Elly, you might still have a chance to reconcile with her.”
Her words seed to touch a nerve in Adam Jones’s heart. Seeing his stern expression, after a long silence, he said to the Old Lady, “The child was awarded to .”
The Old Lady was taken aback, and then repeated in shock, “The child was awarded to you?”
