Chapter 149: 149. Step forward and it’s a slap_1

William Campbell was so shocked by the slap Elly Campbell had just delivered to Adam Jones that it took him a while to speak up, "Mommy, it wasn’t that uncle who took me away. I went to the airport by myself to find him."

He thought, Mommy must be angry, convinced that the uncle was a child trafficker.

Elly Campbell glanced coldly at Adam, meeting his dark and profound eyes. She said nothing but turned her gaze away and said to William, "We’ll talk about it when we get home."

"Can Uncle come home with us?"

"No..."

"Yes."

As Elly Campbell’s words were about to leave her lips, Adam’s deep voice interjected. He walked towards mother and son as if the slap hadn’t landed on his face at all and seemed not to take it to heart. After looking at Elly, he said to William, "Uncle will go home with William."

"Adam Jones..."

"Elly Campbell!"

Adam’s voice carried a hint of chill, "Aren’t you going to explain your son’s situation to me properly?"

Elly Campbell glared at Adam, her eyes filled with reluctance and anger.

Glancing at the two police officers standing to the side, Elly Campbell did not want to argue here and could only silently agree.

Now that William had been found, Elly Campbell needed to go to the Police Station to report that the case was resolved. Terrified by her son’s sudden disappearance, she couldn’t bear to be apart from him for even a moment.

Therefore, she didn’t leave her child with a nanny but took him directly to the Police Station herself, and Adam went along.

"Miss Campbell, the details of the incident are all in this notice. According to the airport bus driver, this child boarded the bus with several passengers headed to the airport. Everyone thought the child belonged to someone else. The child was quiet and did not cry or fuss, sitting quietly in his seat, so no one paid much attention, and they took him straight to the airport," said the police officer.

Now that her emotions had gradually calmed down, Elly Campbell listened to the officer and realized that William did indeed go to the airport by himself, and she also knew that she had misunderstood Adam.

The child was too smart, having learned many words on his own by reading books and watching cartoons. She had not expected him to just board an airport bus, a three-year-old child by himself at the airport.

Thinking back to that slap she had delivered to Adam in the heat of her anger, Elly felt a twinge of guilt on her face.

"Thank you, officers, for all your help today."

Elly Campbell signed the paper and left the Police Station with William.

Robert Green was waiting by the car for them, promptly approaching as he saw them, "Mr. President, Madam."

"You go back first and handle the company affairs for me. I have some things to take care of here," said Adam as he took the car keys from Robert.

Elly Campbell stood aside, silently listening, and her brows suddenly furrowed when she heard Adam didn’t plan to leave Alaska just yet.

Robert took a taxi directly to the airport, Adam moved to the driver’s seat, and addressing Elly, who was still standing motionless at the side, he said, "Aren’t you getting in?"

After a moment’s hesitation, Elly, holding William, opened the rear door and got in.

All the way home, no one spoke. The silence in the car was so profound it was as if one could hear the sound of a needle dropping.

William quietly nestled in Elly’s arms, sensing that Mommy was angry and he might have caused a serious trouble; he remained silent the entire way, cradled by Elly all the way home.
