He bent over and kissed her cheek, "Okay, I’ll listen to you, I won’t drink anymore."
"Hmm, let’s sleep now, I’m tired."
Adam lay down beside Elly, thinking about how he had ignored her all day, he felt incredibly guilty. The hands that were holding her tightened subconsciously.
The next day, Elly did not go to the company with Adam but accompanied the Old Lady to the temple to offer incense.
The Old Lady would visit the temple to offer incense every fifteenth day of the lunar month.
Since Elly had returned with William, perhaps because the Old Lady was in good spirits, her health had also improved a lot.
"William and Great-grandmother are going in to pray, let the Bodhisattva bless us that Mommy will soon give you a little sister."
Elly, standing in front of the Buddha and supporting the Old Lady, couldn’t help but smile wryly at her words.
This grandmother and grandson were always thinking about her having more children.
After helping the Old Lady kneel on the mat, Elly also knelt beside her, put her hands together, and prayed earnestly.
By the time they had finished praying in every hall of the temple, it was already noon.
"The vegetarian dishes here are very tasty, come and try some with Grandma."
The Old Lady was genuinely happy, seeing her grandson and granddaughter-in-law reconcile, and perhaps soon they would have a little girl. The smile on the Old Lady’s face spread uncontrollably.
Elly happily agreed, and just at that moment, her phone sounded with an Instagram notification.
It was from Helen Melendy.
There was a link to a Hot Search news article.
When Elly opened it, a striking photo instantly caught her eye.
It was a corridor outside a private room, brightly lit, and two people standing very close together were captured clearly.
The man had one hand on the woman’s arm, and they were both talking with heads lowered.
The angle of the shot was so well captured that the man’s face appeared in the frame without any concealment.
His expression was not the usual arrogant aloofness he showed in the presence of other women, but it was not particularly intimate either.
Elly recognized the location of the photograph, the prestigious club frequented by the wealthy and famous.
The man in the photo was her husband, Adam Jones.
Elly also recognized the woman in the photo, somewhat surprised to see her and Adam together in the same frame.
Looking further at the news report, the photo was taken around ten o’clock the previous night.
"Elly, what are you looking at?"
The Old Lady, seeing Elly staring at her phone, asked with concern.
Elly quickly turned off her phone and shook her head, "Nothing."
She supported the Old Lady’s hand and walked towards the temple’s dining hall, "Grandma, let’s go have lunch first, I’m a bit hungry."
The Old Lady didn’t think much of it, seeing Elly’s appearance as usual.
They had just sat down in the dining hall when Helen Melendy’s call came through.
"Grandma, I’m going to take a call outside."
Elly took her phone and went outside before answering it.
It seemed Helen was somewhat anxious on the other end of the phone, and as soon as Elly picked up, she immediately asked,
"Elly, are you alright?"
Hearing the tension in Helen’s voice, Elly couldn’t help but laugh, knowing she was worried about the news.
"I’m fine, don’t worry."
"Are you really okay?"
Helen was still concerned. How could Elly be fine when her man was on the Hot Search with another woman, acting so intimately?
