Adam Jones obediently replied to Elly Campbell’s retreating figure with a compliant tone, fully embodying "the henpecked husband." His appealing voice, laced with a magnetic quality, made everyone standing around him involuntarily swoon, to the point that someone even sneakily took out their phone and snapped a photo of the father and son, posting it to Moments—
"Captured at the amusement park: a celebrity father and son duo. That dad looks familiar; does anyone know who he is?" with a photo attached.
Soon, people started replying in Moments.
Reply 1: What celebrity? He’s even more dazzling than a celebrity, okay? That dad is clearly the boss of the Jones conglomerate, Adam Jones.
Reply 2: That’s right, it’s actually Adam Jones himself.
Reply 3: Oh my god, the kid looks so much like Adam Jones. Is he Adam’s son? I’ve never heard about him getting married; how can he have such a grown son?
Reply 4: Yeah, his female companions at banquets are always his sister; when did he suddenly have a son?
Reply 5: Could it be an illegitimate child?
Before long, the girl’s Moments were besieged by her friends.
The girl covered her mouth in disbelief, staring at the tall and handsome man playing with his son in front of her, her eyes filled with shock.
"It really is Adam Jones, oh my god, I actually saw Adam Jones in person here."
She muttered to herself, her hand over her mouth, and then saw Elly Campbell return with tickets, frowning throughout, clearly not very pleased.
The girl seemed to think of something and hurriedly bowed her head to reply on her phone—
No, it’s not an illegitimate child. I heard Adam Jones calling that woman "wife."
Immediately, another round of replies followed: You’re so naive. Nowadays couples all call each other "husband" and "wife". Just because Adam Jones calls that woman "wife" doesn’t mean she really is his wife, could she not be the mistress?
Reply 2: Exactly. Who is Adam Jones? If he were married, it would have been a grand wedding. How could it be so low-key? Clearly, he doesn’t want to marry that woman, but how lucky for her to have a son who looks so much like him.
The girl looked at her Moments, some of which spitefully attacked the woman who had borne Adam Jones’s son. As she watched, she couldn’t help feeling a bit disheartened.
Looking over at Elly Campbell, she had to admit that this woman was beautiful and had a presence; standing by Adam Jones’s side, they looked utterly well-matched.
Even as an onlooker, she felt this was clearly a perfectly fitting family of three. Why did some people delight in speculating maliciously about others’ identities instead of just offering their good wishes?
Perhaps they really were low-key and didn’t want their family exposed to the public eye, losing their privacy.
With that thought, the girl simply deleted the post from her Moments.
While queuing, she couldn’t help but glance at Elly Campbell, the woman beside Adam Jones who obviously wasn’t happy about standing with him and attracting attention. If she truly were a mistress, she would have been overjoyed, clinging closer to Adam Jones to solidify her status.
At this time, Elly Campbell didn’t even realize she had become the envied mistress in everyone’s talk; feeling the various gazes around her and looking at her son’s excited demeanor, she managed to suppress her anger.
Once inside the amusement park, little William Campbell eagerly pulled both Adam Jones and Elly Campbell toward some of the attractions.
Though William was only three years old, he was much taller than others his age, thanks to inheriting his parents’ genes, so the park staff didn’t stop him, especially when they saw a dad by his side who looked more like a celebrity than the celebrities.
