Chapter 145: 145. Qiao Xiaoyi Missing_1

Elly Campbell: "..."

Little William lifted his eyes and glanced at Elly Campbell before saying, "Elly, sit quietly to one side, this is a contest of men. I’m now the commander-in-chief of the Taylor Army; how can I be distracted on the battlefield?"

"Exactly, sis, William is now the commander of the forces, not your three-year-old son."

Elly Campbell: "..."

You can’t possibly imagine that your opponent is just a three-year-old child.

Elly Campbell seldom interfered with William; in principle, she had considerable respect for the child. So, until William finished the game, she really sat quietly on the sofa beside him like a chicken, waiting for him to finish.

A moment later, William put down his phone and walked towards Elly Campbell. "Mommy, do you have something you want to talk to me about?"

Elly Campbell was startled, not expecting the little fellow to be so sensitive. Staring at his face, which greatly resembled Adam Jones’, and after hesitating for a moment, she nodded.

"Mommy has something to ask you."

"Okay, ask."

Elly Campbell looked at William solemnly and asked, "Does William want a dad?"

Upon hearing Elly Campbell’s question, William was a bit surprised. After a moment of thought, he said reflectively, "Does Mommy want a dad?"

"I don’t."

Elly Campbell answered without hesitation.

"If Mommy doesn’t want one, William doesn’t either. William just wants Mommy."

William’s response eased Elly a bit, but she didn’t completely let her guard down.

Such a young child, seeing all the other kids with both moms and dads by their side, but he’s without a dad—does it really not bother him?

"What if one day, William’s dad comes to find William; would William be willing to go with him?"

"Didn’t Mommy say that my dad is dead?"

Elly Campbell: "..."

Straightening her expression, she said, "What if I said?"

"Would Mommy be willing to go with him?"

Elly Campbell wanted to say she wouldn’t be willing, but she didn’t want to let her answer influence William, so she said, "William, you answer first."

William pursed his lips, thought seriously for a moment, and then said, "Many kids at the kindergarten have their dads come to pick them up after school; William wants that too."

Elly Campbell’s heart sank instantly. Just as she was about to say something, she heard William continue, "But it’s okay, if Mommy doesn’t like Dad, I can find another man for Mommy, someone Mommy likes, to be my dad. That way, William will have a dad, and Mommy won’t have to be with a man she doesn’t like."

Elly Campbell: "..."

My son’s reasoning makes so much sense!!!

In the two days that followed, Adam Jones did not come looking for Elly Campbell, which gave her a temporary sigh of relief. Perhaps her performance that day had an effect.

The Jones company was not in Alaska; as the CEO, Adam Jones could not stay in Alaska all the time and not return. Perhaps he had already left by now.

Just when she had relaxed, Elly Campbell received a call from the nanny—William was missing.

"What? William is missing?!!"

Elly Campbell couldn’t recall how she felt at that moment. All she knew was that her vision went dark, her legs went weak, and she immediately dropped to her knees on the ground.

The bones in her knees seemed to crack, making a creaking sound, and the next second, she rushed out of the office.

The employees saw her panic for the first time, casting surprised glances her way.

When Elly Campbell hurried home, the nanny was standing at the door, shivering with fear and pale-faced.

"What happened, how could William be missing!"

Elly Campbell’s complexion was terrible, her face had lost all color, and her legs kept shaking, but she had no choice but to calm herself down at this moment.
