The father and son were talking and laughing together, seeming to be quite happy.
Looking at William again, he no longer showed the sadness and grievance she had seen before, and although unsure what Adam had said to him, seeing her son returning to his usual self brought her a sigh of relief.
Adam’s gaze met hers at that moment, his deep eyes tinged with a trace of tenderness, causing Elly’s heart to unexpectedly miss a beat. She quickly averted her gaze and stood aside.
When Adam, carrying William, came downstairs to where she was, she hesitated before speaking, "My mom has been looking after William for several days now, so we should head back home first."
Hearing Elly say those words, the "we" in her sentence naturally included him with herself and her son in her subconscious, a realization that made the corners of Adam’s mouth start to curve up in pleasure.
The Campbell family’s driver had already prepared the car and parked it at the door; after getting everything ready, Elly, along with Jenna, and the family of three headed to Elly’s apartment in the city center.
Returning to the apartment in the city center, which was regularly cleaned by a maid, it was quite tidy.
"William, go play by yourself for a bit. Mommy will put away the luggage and then join you."
If it had been before, Elly would have unquestionably gone about her own business without a second thought, but after this time, she realized she had indeed been somewhat negligent towards William.
Adam very proactively stayed to play with William, and not long after Elly had gone upstairs, the doorbell rang.
It was the property manager from the complex. She seemed quite startled upon seeing Adam answer the door.
A few months ago, Adam had suddenly bought an apartment in their complex, which was no secret there.
After all, the sudden real-life appearance of such a high-profile individual from Greece in their midst was undoubtedly shocking.
Their complex, located in the center of Alaska, had a good location and wasn’t cheap, but it wasn’t considered a luxury residence. In their minds, a business tycoon like Adam would buy a luxurious villa in a neighborhood where wealthy people congregated, not an apartment block, and certainly not one where each apartment took up an entire floor.
Being able to serve such a big shot gave the property staff a sense of pride by association.
At the same time, they were privately speculating about Miss Campbell, who lived across from him; what would her reaction be if she encountered Mr. Jones?
Would she first celebrate secretly, and then try to get close to Mr. Jones?
After all, Mr. Jones was counted among the most eligible diamond bachelors in Greece, not to mention his wealth one could only dream of, even his looks alone were enough to have countless women willing to throw themselves at him.
As for Miss Campbell, although she had a son, she was truly beautiful, and it wouldn’t be surprising if Mr. Jones actually took a liking to her.
Now seeing Adam in Elly’s home, the property manager, after her initial shock, had a moment of realization.
Miss Campbell really did hook up with Mr. Jones, and her means were indeed formidable.
And think about it, Miss Campbell’s son does bear a striking resemblance to Mr. Jones...
The next second, the property manager was struck dumb again, recalling the Hot Search headline that had surfaced online some time ago, saying the child was Adam’s illegitimate son. Although the Hot Search had been removed cleanly in less than half a day, and no further information about Adam’s illegitimate son could be found online.
But she had seen that headline, and that child... wasn’t he Miss Campbell’s son?
