Chapter 1144: 1144. Lily Bankston Arrives

At the mention, Gloria’s face revealed a troubled expression.

Hearing this, a barely detectable sneer crossed Lily Bankston’s eyes and she said,

"Adam and Miss Baker’s scandal, I have heard about that too, alas, he’s grown up, how can he still not give us peace of mind."

Lily Bankston could say this, but Gloria, being a servant, could not respond to criticisms of her master.

She could only stand aside, helplessly sighing.

"Aunt Lily, what brings you here?"

Just then, at the stairway, came the surprised voice of Elly Campbell.

Following that, she quickly walked downstairs, looking at Lily Bankston with enthusiasm and said,

"Aunt Lily, why didn’t you let us know you were coming? Adam and I could have come to pick you up."

While scrutinizing Elly Campbell’s face, Lily Bankston noticed a faint weariness between her brows, possibly due to issues with Adam Jones which were weighing on her mind.

"I managed to come here on my own."

Lily Bankston took Elly’s hand and they sat down on the sofa, Lily expressed her concern,

"I heard about Adam and Sophie Baker, are you okay?"

At the mention, the smile on Elly’s face immediately dimmed.

However, she quickly forced a smile, shook her head and said,

"Don’t worry, Aunt Lily, I’m fine. Adam doesn’t remember me right now, that’s why he’s with Sophie. When he recalls the past, he won’t treat me like this, I believe in him."

Lily Bankston looked at Elly’s "naive" demeanor and ironically sneered to herself.

However, she said, "I’m relieved you can see it that way."

Elly showed a demeanor that she didn’t want to discuss the matter further and subtly changed the topic,

"By the way, Aunt Lily, did you come to Greece for tourism? I constantly hear Grandma talking about you, you should stay with us for a while."

Lily Bankston waved her hand and smiled,

"I came to discuss something with Adam. There are many students graduating from school soon, and I can’t stay here much longer."

"Oh, I see..."

Elly nodded, respectfully refraining from asking what Lily Bankston needed with Adam Jones and simply said,

"You just got off the plane, you should rest for a bit, Adam’s still not done working."

Lily Bankston nodded and accepted without refusal.

But when her gaze briefly touched Elly’s protruding belly, a hidden glint flickered in her eyes, then she quickly smiled and said,

"The baby is going to be born soon?"

Mentioning the child reminded Elly of Adam Jones’s strange past actions, and a cold glint shadowed her eyes.

Yet when facing Lily Bankston, she immediately hid the coldness and smiled,

"Yes, two more months until the due date."

"That’s really soon."

Lily Bankston started to smile as if genuinely happy.

Elly’s face also showed a touch of anticipation.

Then, she looked at Lily Bankston with gratitude and said,

"Aunt Lily, Grandma has told me a lot about you. If it weren’t for you taking care of Adam by his side, helping him grow up, perhaps he wouldn’t have his achievements today."

Hearing this, Lily Bankston’s face froze for a moment, possibly reflecting on something significant, and her calculating gaze softened with genuine sincerity,

"Adam was a well-behaved child when he was small and also good-looking. Just looking at him made me unwilling to let the child suffer too much."

"Yes, Grandma also said, Adam has always regarded you as his own mother. After this child is born, he will also call you Grandma."
