Chapter 45: 045. Insiders can’t see the forest for the trees_1 Chapter 45: 045. Insiders can’t see the forest for the trees_1 Christopher Moore had no way to deal with her and could only helplessly shake his head.
Adam Jones didn’t stay in the hospital room for too long, either. He went out to take a phone call, and as soon as he left, Sophie Baker came by.
She deliberately waited until Adam Jones was gone before coming over, the words he had said to her downstairs earlier had left her quite emotional.
Adam Jones was not a simple man, and she feared that she would not be able to control her emotions around him and that he would see through her.
Upon hearing Sophie Baker’s voice, Lily Jones poked her head out from under the covers and warmly invited her to sit down.
Sophie Baker greeted Christopher Moore with propriety.
Christopher only nodded faintly, not as enthusiastically as Lily Jones. He didn’t have a very good feeling about this Sophie Baker.
Although she was the savior of Lily Jones, over the years, she had gained a lot of benefits from both the Moore Clan and the Jones Family.
But this girl always seemed too scheming to him, and his wife—so quick to show her emotions and so innocent—should not spend too much time with her.
Yet, his wife was tremendously grateful to this lifesaver, so much so that being heart and soul loyal to Sophie Baker would have been an understatement.
She was even willing to break up her own brother and sister-in-law’s marriage for this woman’s sake, which somewhat displeased Christopher Moore, but who was he to complain when he always indulged her.
So, as long as this Ms. Sophie Baker did not overstep too much, he would just let her be.
On this point, Christopher Moore and Adam Jones were of one mind.
“Sophie, can you believe it, my crafty sister-in-law turned out to be a doctor, and it was her who saved me and the baby. Ah, I really don’t want to feel indebted to her.”
Lily Jones vented to Sophie Baker, whose smile stiffened for a moment.
Sophie Baker knew more about Elly Campbell than the Jones Family did.
Long, long ago, she had realized that to enter the Campbell Family, she needed to get through Elly Campbell first.
So, she had secretly investigated everything about Elly Campbell, which, of course, included her attraction to Adam Jones.
“Yeah, I just found out not too long ago myself.”
Sophie Baker replied, holding Lily Jones’s hand, her expression earnest—
“Lily, it’s a good thing to be alive. Now that you and the baby are safe, you should thank Dr. Campbell, not speak ill of her.”
She knew that Lily Jones had always been very grateful to her for saving her life and she usually heeded her words.
Besides, no matter how much hatred she harbored for Elly Campbell in her heart, in the hospital room, other than herself and Lily Jones, Christopher Moore was present too.
This son-in-law of the Jones Family wasn’t as close to her as Lily Jones, and naturally, she couldn’t provoke Lily in front of him.
“But it just irks me that I was trying to introduce you to my brother back then. It was Elly Campbell who deceived my grandmother with schemes. Otherwise, my grandmother wouldn’t have forced my brother to marry her.”
Christopher Moore, listening on the side, did not join the conversation, only feeling helpless at his wife’s wishful thinking.
Had she forgotten what kind of man her brother is?
If his brother truly liked Sophie Baker, would he compromise and marry Elly Campbell no matter how much the Old Lady pressured him?
During the four years that Elly Campbell was gone, his brother searched the world for her. If he said his brother didn’t have Elly Campbell in his heart, Christopher would never believe it.
It’s just that, love is blind, and perhaps his brother himself hadn’t realized it, but why couldn’t his foolish wife understand that?
