He didn’t even dare to look into Elly Campbell’s eyes for a second longer, fearing that he would see the deep hatred she held for him. He nearly escaped from the Campbell house.
After Adam Jones left, Elly Campbell slumped on the sofa as if all her strength had been drained from her body.
"Seeking custody? That sounds so euphemistic."
Elly Campbell laughed sarcastically.
The way Adam acted, it was clear he meant to snatch, not to seek custody.
She raised her hand and vigorously rubbed her cheeks to calm her emotions. It had been many years since she felt so emotionally stirred because of Adam.
After sitting on the sofa for a while, she stood up and went upstairs.
By then, the nanny had finished bathing William Campbell, and he had already changed. When Elly Campbell entered, the nanny was just getting up from the dressing table.
Seeing Elly Campbell entering, she paused, her gaze inadvertently sweeping towards the doorway before discreetly pulling it back.
Elly Campbell nodded, her eyes turning to William, who was holding a storybook, apparently having forgotten about introducing that uncle who looked like him to Mommy.
While Elly breathed a sigh of relief, the nanny approached her and asked in a low voice, "Madam, has Mr. Jones left?"
Just when she had been hoping her son would forget about Adam Jones, the nanny brought him up again in front of the child. Elly couldn’t help but frown.
"Hmm, did you want to see him for something?"
Elly Campbell’s face was stern, her voice tinged with displeasure. The nanny quickly realized this and waved her hands, explaining, "No, not at all, it was William. He kept asking for Mr. Jones during his bath, so I was just curious."
At this, Elly’s expression softened somewhat. Seeing her son looking at her with hopeful eyes, Elly patiently said, "William, that uncle already has a girlfriend. Mommy will go on a blind date to find you a daddy, so please don’t worry about that uncle, okay?"
As expected, upon hearing that the uncle had a girlfriend, William’s face fell with disappointment.
"Ah? The uncle has a girlfriend? What about Mommy then?"
William looked at Elly worriedly, and she helplessly reached up to tousle her son’s hair, saying, "What about it? Mommy never liked him anyway. But don’t worry, William, Mommy will definitely find you a daddy, okay?"
William bit his lip, pondering for a moment before reluctantly nodding, "Alright, if the uncle has a girlfriend, I shouldn’t ask Mommy to be someone else’s mistress."
Knowing that William didn’t like to be disturbed while reading, both Elly Campbell and the nanny left his room.
"Madam, is Mr. Jones William’s father?"
Once outside the room, the nanny couldn’t help her curiosity.
Elly Campbell stopped, glanced at her sideways, and after a moment of reflection, said, "No, he just happens to look quite a bit like him."
Upon hearing Elly Campbell say this, the nanny nodded, "William does look a lot like Mr. Jones. When I first saw them, I thought they were father and son."
There were enough people on the internet who looked incredibly alike despite having no blood relation, so when Elly Campbell denied it, she believed her.
After all, for a man like Mr. Jones, with a deep background and handsome stature, many women would dream of marrying him. If William were his son, why wouldn’t the madam acknowledge it.
