"I told you to check out your narcissism with a psychiatrist long ago, but you dragged your feet, and now the condition has worsened!"
Seeing her strong reaction, the smile on Adam Jones’s face spread even more wantonly.
He stretched out his arms and pulled Elly Campbell into an embrace, "No other woman catches my eye, only you. You were my first sight and will forever be."
Towards the end, there was a tender, lingering affection in his smile that caused a faint ripple in Elly’s heart.
She avoided Adam’s deep, affectionate gaze and reached out to tug at his hands on her waist, only to hear Adam say:
"If you need someone to cook, I’ll do it. I’ll even take care of sweeping and mopping, free labor that will save you quite a bit of expense."
Adam looked at Elly with a face full of eagerness, his dark, profound pupils brimming with anticipation.
After he said this, a momentary daze colored Elly’s face.
Although she had been planning to dismiss Lynn Clark, she hadn’t expected Adam to volunteer to take on those household chores that she herself was reluctant to do.
Elly spoke with a hint of disbelief in her tone.
"Yes, leave everything to me, I’ll make sure you’re satisfied."
As long as you don’t send me away.
Adam added in his heart and continued to gaze intently at Elly’s face as he solemnly promised.
"A high-and-mighty CEO of Jones Corporation cooking for someone else, wouldn’t that be too demeaning?"
With a gentle smile on his lips, Adam shook his head, "How can it be demeaning to cook for one’s wife and children?"
How had she ever thought this man was not good at sweet-talking?
The man before her was a smooth talker indeed!
Seeing Elly not responding, Adam continued to press for an answer.
He was determined to send the nanny packing, not only because he worried she might harm Elly and her son but also because he desired to live their own little world—without any outside disturbance.
What? A three-person world? No, William Campbell could be easily disregarded.
Elly had indeed planned to fire Lynn Clark, so she didn’t intend to hide it from him and said, "I understand."
Upon Elly’s agreement, a smile slowly spread across Adam’s face.
Elly noticed that Adam had been smiling at her a lot lately, not just frequently but also with an irresistibly charming flair.
What she couldn’t accept even more was that she found herself defenseless against his smile.
She frowned, avoiding his gaze, and said coldly, "If it weren’t for your face that attracts trouble, I wouldn’t be losing a well-educated and pretty good nanny."
She gave him a disdainful look and wriggled out of his hands.
Adam, like a sticky burr, followed her closely, clinging to her. Hearing her say that, he laughed and said, "Although you’ve lost an insignificant nanny, you’ve gained a male nanny with higher education, and even better looks."
He moved close to Elly, sat down on the sofa next to her, and whispered in her ear, "What’s more, this male nanny can also give you sons."
The subtle flirtation caused Elly’s ears to burn again, and she glared coldly at Adam.
Adam didn’t continue to tease her and looked at his watch, saying, "Hungry? I’ll go out to buy some groceries and cook for you."
Although Adam had promised to take on the responsibility of their housekeeper, Elly really didn’t dare to let Adam cook.
