Chapter 184: She really likes me that much?_1

Adam Jones recognized him; he was Elly Campbell’s cousin, Mark Campbell, the son of Harry Campbell, six years younger than Elly, just starting his sophomore year in college.

Aside from the Old Master of the Campbell Family, no one knew that the marriage between Elly Campbell and Adam Jones existed in name only, especially the family of Harry Campbell, who had settled down in the United States early on, which is why Mark had asked that question.

When Mark mentioned Elly, Adam’s gaze darkened slightly and he responded indifferently, "I don’t know."

Despite saying that, his eyes involuntarily shifted towards the Campbell Family’s front gate and his eyebrows subtly furrowed.

The smile on Mark’s face stiffened, and seeing Adam’s slightly somber expression, it seemed he realized something and lowered his voice to ask, "Did you have an argument with my sister?"

Adam tensed up and kept his eyes down without speaking.

"My sister has that temper; brother-in-law, please be more patient. Between husband and wife, disputes at the head of the bed lead to resolutions at the foot. When my sister comes later, I’ll speak on your behalf."

Mark patted his chest with his hand, then with an ambiguously teasing tone added, "You don’t know, but before my sister married you, she used to talk about you all the time; my ears almost developed calluses from listening. She seemed as though she couldn’t wait to fly to your side immediately. Even though she’s usually bad-tempered, seeing how much she likes you, don’t hold it against her."

Adam listened quietly to Mark’s words; they had met a few times but were not very familiar, and this was the first time he’d heard such things from him.

For some reason, after hearing Mark’s words, the gloom that had plagued him for days suddenly lifted somewhat, and his lips began to curve up, almost uncontrollably.

"Does she really like me that much?"

Mark looked at him with an ambiguous expression, "Can’t you feel whether she likes you or not? Don’t tell me my sister became reserved after marrying you?"

Adam’s face showed a complex expression, could he really feel it?

Sometimes, even he was not clear about it.

His gaze quietly settled on the gate outside, and his thin lips pressed into a line at that moment.

A moment later, the Clark Family’s car slowly drove into the Campbell Family’s gate. Although Jenna Clark had divorced James Campbell, the Clark Family had always been a well-known family of scholars with a close connection to the Old Master. This time, not only did Jenna come, but the elders of the Clark Family did as well.

Elly Campbell was the first to get off the car, followed by little William Campbell.

At that moment, the Campbell Family’s place was crowded with important people from all walks of life. Many of them were acquainted with the Clark Family, and as the car stopped, many came over to say hello. Naturally, they also noticed the somewhat familiar-looking child being led by Elly’s hand.

The child had delicate features and profound facial traits—at one glance, he attracted everyone’s attention.

"That young master is so beautiful. I wish I could hold him."

"I wonder whose child he is, I’m so envious. If only he were my grandson."

"..."

Many of the distinguished guests on the scene were drawn to the little one, lowering their voices to speculate about the identity of young William.

"Hey, don’t you guys think this child looks very familiar?"

Someone whispered, and everyone looked enlightened, indeed feeling the child looked familiar, as if they had seen that face just minutes before.

These murmurs weren’t too loud but not too soft either, and Elly heard them all, keeping her face expressionless—only when her gaze met those cold, deep-set eyes straight ahead, her eyes darkened slightly. Then she walked composedly towards the Old Master.
