Lynn Clark’s heart tightened, and she forced a dry smile on her face, saying, "Yesterday, I heard Mrs. Campbell say to William that she would find him a new father."
She stealthily gauged Adam Jones’s expression and, as expected, saw his face darken even more than his previous indifference.
"Mr. Jones, I don’t know what issues are there between you and Mrs. Campbell, but William is still young. I hope you don’t blame William."
Adam looked at her, his eyes narrowing meaningfully.
This little nanny was clever, bad-mouthing Elly Campbell indirectly in front of her, then putting on an act of wholeheartedly caring for William; she was indeed not simple.
"William is my son; of course, I don’t blame him."
Adam suddenly smiled, causing Lynn Clark to blush involuntarily. She took the opportunity to add another sentence, "Rest assured, Mr. Jones, I spend most of the time looking after William. If you wish to see him, you can tell me anytime, and I will bring William out to meet you."
At this, a cold gleam flashed through Adam’s eyes, but his face remained unchanged. "Are you saying that you will secretly bring William to see me behind Elly Campbell’s back?"
Lynn Clark flashed a very attractive smile at Adam Jones and, fearing he might overthink, added, "After all, William is your son. I wouldn’t want you two to become estranged."
That would be the perfect opportunity for her to spend more time alone with Adam.
The moment she saw Adam appear at the Campbell’s, she had ideas.
Her family was poor, and her mother was ill; the little money she earned as a nanny couldn’t possibly address her mother’s illness. If she could attach herself to Adam Jones, even a small amount of money from him would be more than others could earn in a lifetime.
She believed that with her figure and looks, no less attractive than Elly Campbell’s, he would take an interest in her if she had the chance to spend time with him. In time, he would naturally come to like her as well.
She was full of confidence, for no man could resist liking her after spending sufficient time with her.
Adam Jones chuckled, "You’ve thought this through."
Lynn’s heart leaped with joy, failing to detect the sarcasm in Adam’s words. "Then it’s settled," she said.
As she spoke, she hastily took out paper and a pen from her bag and wrote down a string of numbers, "Mr. Jones, this is my mobile number. You can call me if you need to."
Saying this, she gave Adam Jones a sweet smile and then, as if shy, turned to open the door and entered the house.
Adam Jones looked at the note in his hand, laughed coldly, and tossed it into the trash bin placed by the elevator entrance, stepping into the elevator.
Lynn Clark returned home, her heart constantly fluttering with excitement and anticipation, occasionally pulling out her phone to check it.
Elly Campbell, after finishing dealing with company emails in the living room, lifted her eyes and saw the excited smile consistently on Lynn’s face, as if she had stumbled upon some great fortune.
"Little Lynn, did you win the lottery?"
Elly asked with a smile.
Lynn was startled, shaking her head, "No, Mrs. Campbell, why do you ask?"
"Oh, I saw you constantly smiling, like you’ve encountered some incredible good fortune."
The smile on Lynn Clark’s face suddenly stiffened, then she shook her head and said, "Not at all, where would I get such good luck to win the lottery? I just heard some good news earlier, so I couldn’t help but smile."
