Elly Campbell’s voice wasn’t loud, but in this already sparsely populated place, it was enough to be heard.
Sean Lentz felt a burning pain on his face as he watched the few people in the VIP room look at him with disdain.
His heart loathed Elly Campbell for slapping his face in front of outsiders, but seeing Adam Jones’s overprotective demeanor by his side, he couldn’t muster a single word of insult and could only leave the VIP room with a face full of rage.
Due to the situation with William Campbell, Elly Campbell was already very irritable, and here these shameless father and daughter duo came crowding in, so she couldn’t be blamed for swelling his face.
"Alright, don’t be angry now," Adam Jones said in his deep voice, "Getting upset over a few flies isn’t worth it. They’ve all been driven away."
His voice rose in her ear, pulling her back from her anger.
Turning her head, she met eyes with the exceedingly handsome face of her second child, followed by the voice behind that beauty, "Son, your mommy is unhappy, go and comfort her."
The little guy seemed to understand Adam Jones’s words and really began to call out in a babyish voice, his soft little paws patting Elly Campbell’s face gently as if to soothe her.
Elly Campbell found that she really couldn’t resist her second child’s stunning beauty and cooing voice and inevitably laughed helplessly.
She took the child from Adam Jones’s hands and sat back down in her chair.
The appearance of Ivy Lentz and her father just now didn’t cause Elly Campbell to pay them much attention; instead, all her focus was drawn to her second child.
Adam Jones sat down beside her and didn’t interrupt her playing with the little one, simply supporting his forehead with one hand, smiling, and watching her the entire time.
The tenderness in his eyes seemed to overflow.
When he called the little one "son" and referred to her as the child’s "mommy," she hadn’t shown any sign of protest. Could it be that subconsciously, she also acknowledged this relationship between the three of them?
This realization made Adam Jones’s mood instantly much more cheerful.
Half an hour later, they began preparing to board the plane.
The second child was also taken away by the staff to be checked in.
Sitting on the plane, thinking about the imminent meeting with her son, Elly Campbell felt both worried and nervous.
The journey of just over an hour made her feel as if every second was like a year.
Adam Jones knew she was worrying about William Campbell again and couldn’t help but speak up to comfort her, "Don’t worry, we’ll see William in an hour."
Elly Campbell nodded and then leaned against the plane, closing her eyes.
The plane landed at Alaska Airport an hour and a half later.
Upon exiting the airport, there was already a driver from the Clark family waiting there early on.
They hurried to the Clark family home, where only Jenna Clark and the servants were present.
"Mom, where’s William?" Elly Campbell asked.
Jenna Clark, seeing Adam Jones enter with Elly Campbell, showed a hint of surprise in her eyes, but she didn’t say anything and pointed upstairs, saying:
"He’s in his room playing with blocks. He hasn’t spoken since we picked him up from kindergarten yesterday. You should go up and check on him quickly."
Elly Campbell didn’t dare delay, and quickly went upstairs with her luggage set aside.
Pushing open the door to the toy room, they saw the little guy quietly sitting cross-legged on the floor stacking blocks.
In front of him, a large robot was just taking shape.
Seeing her son so quiet for the first time, Elly Campbell’s heart was fiercely jabbed, and her eyes filled with an aching soreness.
She hurried over to sit down in front of him, "Baby, mommy’s back."
