Chapter 1172: 1172. Eccentric William Campbell

With a cold and unfeeling glance that did not linger on Sophie Baker for even a moment, Adam Jones took Elly Campbell’s hand and left.

Once they were in the car, Elly Campbell’s brows were still furrowed, and she could even sense a faint scent of blood in her nostrils.

Seeing her pale face, Adam furrowed his brows and said,

"What’s wrong? Were you frightened by what just happened?"

Elly shook her head and said,

"No, it’s just a bit sad."

Although she detested Sophie Baker, she wasn’t vile enough to gloat at this moment.

But to sympathize with Sophie? She was even less capable of that.

"Let’s not talk about her anymore. Let’s go home. Our son starts kindergarten tomorrow, and I haven’t spent time with him in a long while. I should keep him company a bit more today."

"Okay."

Ever since he had lost his memory, fearing that he might hurt William Campbell unintentionally, he had Elly send the child to the Clark Family.

Only when his memory returned recently, did he bring his son back home.

Adam Jones felt an extraordinary sense of debt towards his son William.

In the three years since his birth, he had completely missed out on his son’s growing up, and even after their reunion, he still didn’t have much time to spend with him.

A faint sense of guilt began to emerge in Adam’s heart.

"Daddy, Mommy."

As soon as their car entered the Jones family estate, from a distance, they saw William holding his pet Elly II at the doorway, excitedly waving at them.

After parking the car, the couple got out. Elly II had been sent to the Clark Family with William and had not seen its owners in quite some time.

Upon seeing them, it immediately jumped down from William’s embrace and wobbled its plump little rear as it toddled towards them.

Adam, surprised by its enthusiasm, stepped in front of Elly before it could pounce on her.

Elly II, in the next second, zipped onto him, clutching his shoulders and refusing to let go.

Its nimble tongue relentlessly licked Adam’s cheeks, leaving him with a face full of disdain.

"Mommy!"

Following Elly II, William also wobbled his chubby little body towards the two of them.

William had more "sense" than Elly II; he knew Mommy had a brother or sister in her belly and that he shouldn’t bump into Mommy’s stomach too hard, lest he hurt the sibling.

Hence, as he approached Elly, he stopped.

Cautiously taking Elly’s hand, his dark pupils shone with a mix of joy and anticipation as he looked up at her brightly.

Elly knew that she had not personally taken care of William much, and although he was only four years old, he was much more sensible than others his age.

The more sensible he was, the more Elly felt she owed him, the more her heart ached for him.

With her swollen belly, she crouched down and hugged William, gently kissing him and said,

"Mommy missed William. Did William miss Mommy?"

"Missed~"

William answered very loudly but then, catching his father’s gaze, he dutifully added, "Missed Daddy too."

"Really?"

Adam raised an eyebrow and asked.

Seeing that William did not respond immediately, but instead lowered his eyes in thought for a moment before looking up at Adam again, he said,

"I did miss Daddy, but I missed Mommy a little more."

Adam, holding Elly II, crouched in front of William and reached out to ruffle his chubby head and said,

"Why can’t you miss Daddy a bit more? William is being partial."

He had expected this emotionally intelligent child to console him a little and then rephrase to say that he also missed Daddy a lot.
