Chapter 151: 151.Suitable to be a step-dad at first glance_1

"Could you let me go first?"

She looked at him coldly, struggling against him several times, but was unable to break free from Adam Jones’s restraint.

Adam’s dark eyes quietly rested on her annoyed face, and he seemed to frown before he finally let Elly Campbell go.

The tone of his voice, compared to moments ago, was less clear and more hoarse, "Regarding the child, you must give me an explanation."

Having escaped Adam’s restraint, Elly Campbell slowly stood up, feigning calm as she straightened her slightly wrinkled suit, and said, "What explanation does President Jones need?"

She looked at Adam with an indifferent expression in her eyes and voice.

Adam looked at her coldly and, after a long while, managed to suppress the rising waves of anger, and said, "If I hadn’t found out, were you planning to never tell me about the child for the rest of your life?"

"Yes."

Elly Campbell’s answer was resolute, but it caused Adam’s hard-pressed anger to flare up once again, reaching new heights.

"Elly Campbell!"

He raised his voice, startling the young nanny who was bringing dishes out of the kitchen.

She looked towards the two people by the sofa in slight astonishment, and after placing the dishes on the dining table, she smoothed the hair at her temples and approached Elly Campbell, saying, "Madam, dinner is ready."

While speaking, she cast a covert glance at Adam’s solemn face, hesitated a moment, and then cautiously asked, "Will Mr. Jones be staying for dinner as well?"

"He won’t..."

"Of course!"

Elly Campbell’s refusal was on her lips when Adam cut her off.

Elly Campbell looked displeased at Adam, the clear "I don’t welcome you" in her eyes was blatantly ignored by Adam.

The young nanny’s face lit up with joy, and without waiting for Elly to say anything else, cheerfully acknowledged and went to the kitchen to prepare dinnerware for Adam.

Knowing she couldn’t send Adam away and not wanting to make a scene, Elly held back, rose to her feet, and headed towards the dining table.

Adam followed and sat down at the table as naturally as anything.

No sooner had he sat down than William Campbell took the initiative to sit by his side and said in a voice he thought only the two could hear, "Uncle, don’t you think my mommy is a good match for you? Why don’t you consider my mommy?"

Elly Campbell, who had just picked up her chopsticks: "..."

Raising her eyes to look at her cherished son sitting next to Adam, she narrowed her eyes heavily, "William, what are you talking about?"

William’s facial muscles stiffened instantly, and he abruptly turned his head to look at Elly, his round eyes shockingly staring at his own mom—how could she hear when he had spoken so quietly?

William didn’t hide anything, pointing at Adam, whose expression was enigmatic, and said, "Mommy, didn’t you say you don’t like my biological father? I don’t like him if you don’t like him. So, I found you a new boyfriend, and it’s this uncle here."

The corners of Adam’s lips twitched subtly—should he be upset that his son was saying he didn’t like him, or pleased that his son was introducing him to Elly Campbell?

Hearing her son say this, Elly rolled her eyes internally and really wanted to tell him that the man in front of him was the unliked biological father.

"Mommy, look, uncle is handsome and he looks so much like me. It’s obvious he’s suited to be my new dad. Think about it, once this opportunity is missed, there won’t be another. Such a handsome uncle is bound to be in high demand. I rushed to the airport today to find him because I was afraid he’d be snatched away by some other auntie."
