As soon as William saw his mommy, he completely abandoned his own dear daddy, struggled to get off Adam’s body, and, twisting his little form, ran towards Elly.
Elly picked up William, her smile somewhat dry, "Has my treasure been good at grandma’s these past few days?"
"I’ve been good, but I missed mommy."
William extended his chubby little hands, cupping Elly’s face, and said, "Mommy, don’t leave me next time, William doesn’t want to be apart from mommy."
As he spoke, his soft little mouth kissed Elly’s lips.
The mushy tone, however, struck the most painful spot in Elly’s heart, thinking that the child would be taken away by Adam, she simply couldn’t answer that question for William.
Elly was just about to respond when her son, who had been sweetly clinging to her a moment ago, suddenly had his head pushed away by someone who appeared beside them.
"Daddy, what are you doing?"
William, not understanding, looked disapprovingly at his suddenly stern-faced daddy and asked.
"How can you just kiss a girl on the mouth?"
The Campbells, mother and son: "..."
Little William blinked his black grape-like big eyes innocently, and, frowning, looked at his own displeased daddy and said:
"Is your mommy not a girl?"
Saying this, he directly took William from Elly’s arms, had him stand on the ground, and then placed himself between Elly and her son, standing in the middle.
"Adam Jones, what are you doing?"
"He’s old enough now, let him walk on his own, what’s with all the carrying?"
The Campbells, mother and son: "..."
Little William felt so wronged that he was about to cry, his little mouth pouted slightly.
When he was liked, they called him ’little treasure’, when not, they said he was old enough... Humph! What a big pig’s trotter!
Seeing her son upset, Elly quickly stepped to William’s side, raising her head displeasedly and looking at Adam, saying:
"Adam Jones, what are you doing?"
"He’s a boy now, he must learn to be independent early on."
Adam’s face was full of self-evidence.
At that moment, Elly really wanted to slap him across the face.
Expecting a three-year-old to be independent? Why doesn’t he ascend to the heavens!
She glared at him fiercely, and when she caught Adam’s innocent gaze, she angrily bit her teeth.
The elevator doors opened, Elly, holding onto William, walked inside, with Adam following suit.
"What are you here for?"
Elly asked coldly, looking at him while holding William tighter subconsciously.
Adam looked at her and suddenly stepped forward, causing Elly to instinctively step back, her back pressing against the cool elevator wall.
His long arms supported against the elevator walls behind her, trapping both Elly and William between him and the elevator.
"Continuing our past relationship."
Elly cursed in anger, and after blurting that out, she was stunned herself.
Damn it, this jerk confused her with rage.
The man in front of her was not angry, however, only wearing a half-smiling expression as he looked at her. He reached out to caress her cheek, which was flushed with anger, and chuckled:
"You’re still getting mad out of embarrassment."
Elly, infuriated, her breath heaved up and down. Just as she was about to speak, Adam suddenly released her from his restraint. He chuckled lightly as he looked into her fiery eyes, resisting the urge to touch the top of her hair.
Elly was about to push his hand away, but his hand already drew back. At the same time, the elevator opened.
Elly, holding William, walked ahead of him out of the elevator and went to the door to unlock it.
