"Am I really ruined?"
Elly Campbell skillfully twirled the fruit knife in her hand, raising an eyebrow at Adam Jones.
"As long as you don’t abandon me, you can be ruined."
"That’s not for certain."
Just at this moment, little William Campbell, who had just finished assembling the robot, slowly stood up from the mat. The next second, he suddenly reached out and tightly hugged Elly Campbell’s arm, saying:
"Mommy, don’t kill Daddy. I can vouch for Daddy; he didn’t pay attention to that bad woman, really!"
Looking as if he were afraid his mommy wouldn’t believe him, he lifted his moist black eyes to stare at Elly Campbell, nodding his head vigorously.
Seeing the undisguised worry in their son’s eyes, as if he genuinely feared Mommy might take a knife to Daddy, both Elly Campbell and Adam Jones couldn’t help but start laughing.
Adam Jones reached out and tousled William Campbell’s hair, saying with a look of approval, "Good boy."
Then, turning his gaze back to Elly Campbell, he waited for his wife to speak.
Elly Campbell raised an eyebrow, folded the fruit knife, and put it away, saying, "Alright, for our son’s sake, I’ll let you off for now."
Elly Campbell gave him a cold look and snorted twice. Then, as Adam Jones moved closer to her again, his expression inscrutable, he asked her in a low voice:
"Wife, do you know what day it is today?"
No sooner had he asked the question than Elly Campbell looked up at him with a puzzled face, saying:
"It’s Grandpa’s big birthday celebration. Everyone’s already here, and you’re still asking?"
Adam Jones responded quietly, discreetly hiding the disappointment rising in his eyes as his lips pressed together lightly.
It’s fine. Once Grandpa’s birthday celebration is over, wife will surely remember that today is also his birthday.
Seeing that puzzled look still in his wife’s eyes, Adam Jones quickly straightened up, concealing all his emotions, and said:
"Today’s Grandpa’s birthday celebration. Should we go over and have a chat with him?"
As the couple, with little William Campbell, made their way over to Master Clark, they happened to run into four people just walking into the hall.
Christopher Moore, Lily Jones, as well as Christopher Moore’s parents.
"Big brother, sister-in-law."
Upon seeing the couple, Christopher Moore at first looked startled, his expression somewhat complex.
Elly Campbell discreetly observed Lily Jones’ hand resting on Christopher Moore’s arm. Although the two still seemed affectionate, the sense Elly Campbell got was no longer the sweet marital relationship she had observed when Lily Jones was hospitalized.
This time, Lily Jones had lost her previous arrogance, and even though makeup concealed it, there was a hint of tiredness between her eyebrows and eyes.
She merely gave the Jones couple a cold glance before indifferently withdrawing her gaze.
Adam Jones nodded, by way of responding to Christopher Moore, then turned his attention to Christopher Moore’s parents, "Uncle, Auntie."
Elly Campbell also greeted them.
The video of her scolding Lily Jones had been posted online, and now Elly Campbell felt a bit awkward as she looked at Christopher Moore’s parents.
The Moore Parents didn’t seem to mind, appearing as warm and gentle as Christopher Moore himself.
It figures, considering they raised someone as gentle as Christopher Moore, their temperaments were unlikely to be bad.
No wonder they could tolerate someone as troublesome as Lily Jones.
Lily Jones marrying into a family like the Moore Clan must have been the good fortune of her past life.
Now, even though Christopher Moore talked about divorce, the reluctance in his eyes was still quite apparent.
