Chapter 678: 678. You’re just a thoroughly bad woman_1 Chapter 678: 678. You’re just a thoroughly bad woman_1 But he rely indulged the thought secretly, worried that if he brought it up too much, his wife might beco unhappy. The last ti he ntioned it, and now she was the one bringing it up again, Adam Jones was naturally overjoyed.
“Okay, I’ll try my best.”
“It’s not like you’re the one giving birth, what are you trying too hard at?”
Elly Campbell huffed lightly, and the next second, she realized she had said sothing silly.
Sure enough, the person next to her was ready to make indecent jokes again, “If I don’t put in so effort, how are you going to make our daughter all by yourself?”
Elly had recently gotten used to him making indecent jokes, so she just reached out and gave his arm a hard twist and then, thinking of sothing else, she said:
“Right…”
“What?”
“You said that Mrs. Green hasn’t bothered you or Lily Jones for over twenty years, so why is she suddenly looking for you now?”
She didn’t see Daisy Thompson as a mother-in-law, so naturally, she wouldn’t call her “Mom.” Referring to her as Mrs. Green rather than Daisy Thompson was a great show of restraint on her part.
Hearing Elly ntion Daisy Thompson, Adam’s reaction wasn’t intense, but there was a hint of disgust in his eyes.
“Don’t worry about her, whatever she wants to do, it’s none of our business.”
He held Elly’s hand and emphasized, “In any case, if she cos to bother you, don’t worry about , just do whatever makes you happy.”
Elly laughed at his comnt, “I know, you’ve emphasized it over and over again, you almost made think I was a good person.”
“Well, in my heart, you’re a thoroughly bad woman, and I love you all the sa,”
Adam Jones said with a soft laugh, wrapping his arms around her waist.
The two chatted leisurely for a while, when Elly rembered the Old Lady’s health, and then said:
“I think grandma’s been in pretty good health lately, so let’s take her out for a trip this Easter.”
The Old Master had gone traveling a few days ago with his second daughter, and she thought it would be a good opportunity to take the Old Lady out during this holiday as well.
Hearing her say this, the smile in Adam’s eyes gradually spread.
“I had the sa idea; I’ve already had soone make the arrangents, and we’ll leave tomorrow.”
He looked at Elly Campbell’s delicate face, and, deeply moved, pulled her into his arms, his voice slightly deep and filled with gratitude.
“Elly…”
“Hmm?”
“Thank you for being so good to my grandma.”
Elly was stunned for a mont, then realized why he had looked so happy when she ntioned taking his grandmother with them.
For so reason, as she heard his words, Elly thought about how Daisy Thompson had coldly abandoned him when he was so young. Thinking of the six-year-old boy, lost and helpless, she felt a great pang of heartache.
She wrapped her arms around his waist and said, “You’re like a fool, saying such nonsense.”
Laughter from Adam, low and close, reached her ears, but he did not let go of Elly.
He was genuinely full of gratitude for everything she had done for him.
Grateful that she liked him back then, even though he was a loner; grateful that Helen silently stood by him, the heartless him, for three years but still didn’t completely give up on him; grateful that she gave birth to little William Campbell for him; grateful that she was willing to give him another chance…
A multitude of thanks weighed on his heart, wanting to be expressed yet not knowing where to start, with only a ‘thank you’ capturing it all.
“There’s nothing I can do then, you can’t abandon even if I’m a fool,”
Adam Jones said in a low voice.
Elly broke free from his embrace, reached out to grab his collar, pulled his body down to et her gaze.
