Little William’s eyes instantly lit up.
Adam pointed at himself and said to his son, "Why don’t you just get Mommy to be with Daddy?"
Little William frowned slightly, hesitating.
But Adam didn’t give him the chance to hesitate, continuing to tempt him, "Daddy is very capable, I can protect Mommy, and I can protect William too. Daddy also has lots and lots of money to support you. No other man has as much money as Daddy. Even if Mommy doesn’t work, Daddy can still support you both until you are a hundred years old. The most important thing is, you are Daddy’s own flesh and blood. Daddy likes you the best and will definitely not let you be separated from Mommy."
Upon hearing this, little William’s eyes rolled around twice, clearly tempted.
However, he then furrowed his brows with difficulty, "But Mommy doesn’t like you."
Adam raised his hand and flicked William’s forehead. Amid his son’s dissatisfied gaze, he continued, "Women always say one thing but mean another. Your Mommy likes Daddy the most."
William was aware of the phrase "say one thing but mean another."
A few days ago, when his uncle and aunt were watching TV, his aunt also said that the auntie on the TV was saying one thing but meaning another, and that auntie liked that uncle.
She had said that the auntie liked the uncle, so she had a baby for him.
So if Mommy gave birth to him, that must mean Mommy definitely likes Daddy, right?
Thinking this way, little William’s eyes shone even more brightly, "I understand now, Daddy."
A satisfied expression crossed Adam’s face again, and he reached out to ruffle his son’s small head, "Good boy, so smart."
Elly had no idea what kind of conversation the father and son inside had, as she had been waiting outside the door for a long time before she saw the door finally open.
Seeing the father and son hugging each other in an amicable embrace, it was clear that the exchange had been a very pleasant one.
Elly furrowed her brows, looking at the unhidden joy on her naïve and adorable son’s face, feeling that this kid must have been bamboozled by Adam.
She stepped forward, about to speak, when William said, "Mommy, I’ve been thinking, none of those uncles are right for you, Daddy is the best match."
She glared at Adam’s face, which held an irksome smile, and gritted her teeth, "What did you say to William?"
"Daddy said a stepfather would abuse someone else’s child and would make me and Mommy separate."
Without any burden on his conscience, little William lit the fuse on his trickster skills, betraying his own dad.
Elly once again felt a throbbing pain in her liver, harshly asking, "Why are you telling all this to our son?!"
Adam let William down and patted his head, "Go play downstairs, William."
After sending his son away, Adam’s smile faded, and as he watched Elly’s enraged expression, his dark eyes narrowed slightly, a touch of indignation rising in them.
Suddenly, he stretched out his hand to grab her waist and pulled her into his embrace.
His deep pupils locked onto her fiery eyes, saying, "Are you so angry because you’d love for William to help you find a new love?"
"What’s it to you? Ex-husband!!"
Elly glared at Adam with gnashing teeth, emphasizing the words "ex-husband."
Adam hated to hear the words "ex-husband" from Elly’s mouth, especially with added emphasis.
"Say ’ex-husband’ again and see what happens."
His face darkened as he spoke sternly.
