Just one look from him was enough to send shivers down your spine.
But the more it was so, the more Lynn Clark felt that conquering such a man would bring a sense of accomplishment.
Adam Jones was now indifferent to her, surely because he didn’t understand her yet; as long as she got to know him, he definitely couldn’t treat her this way.
On this point, Lynn Clark still had ample confidence.
After comforting herself with these thoughts, Lynn Clark’s heart was much more at ease, and she hurriedly followed Adam out of the elevator after he had left it.
"Mr. Jones, why didn’t you contact me after you left last time?"
Adam Jones was standing at the door ready to unlock it when he heard Lynn Clark’s affected voice behind him.
With a look of confusion, his gaze shifted to her, and before he could remember who this pretentious woman was, she hurriedly added,
"Mr. Jones, please don’t misunderstand, it’s... it’s because William has been talking about you every day. I couldn’t reach you, so I had the audacity to ask."
With Lynn Clark’s words, Adam Jones finally remembered who this woman was, and a flicker of realization crossed his eyes, "You are William’s nanny?"
When Lynn Clark heard the word "nanny," she frowned instinctively, as if she felt somewhat repelled by the term, like she had been insulted.
But then, she caught another implication in Adam’s words.
Did Adam just fail to recognize her?
Was her face really so ordinary that he could only remember her after she mentioned William, even though they had met more than once or twice?
A sense of suffocation rose in Lynn Clark’s heart as if she had been choked by a surge of old frustration, nullifying the comfort she had given herself in the elevator.
Yet outwardly, she managed to conceal the blow well, forcing a smile that she considered both perfect and seductive, "Yes, Mr. Jones, I have always been the one taking care of William."
Her tone carried a hint of seeking credit, and at the same time, she intended to convey to Adam Jones an alternative message—that if he wanted to see William, he could go through her.
She had previously noticed that Elly Campbell truly rejected Adam, so his attempting to get close to his son through Elly was utterly impossible; therefore, approaching through her was the best way.
She fancifully imagined the situation turning out beautifully, only to hear Adam Jones’s cold voice in front of her—
"Since you are his nanny, just do your duty well and take proper care of him. If I want to see my son, I don’t need to resort to such sneaky methods."
Having said that, he directly opened the door and entered the house, with no inclination to even want to know what expression Lynn Clark had on her face.
Staring at the closed door in front of her, Lynn Clark was stunned, followed by her face turning pale in waves.
She had imagined all kinds of possibilities, but she never thought Adam Jones would react .
Not only was he warning her to fulfill her duties as a nanny, but he had also bluntly exposed the underlying message she had tried to convey in her words, showing his disdain and contempt.
This was probably the biggest setback Lynn Clark had ever experienced in front of a man.
However, she also knew that a man like Adam Jones was naturally different from the men who had pursued her in the past.
He was noble, abstinent, composed, and self-restrained; this is what a truly capable and cultured man was like. If he were easily conquered by her, that would actually be rather dull.
