Chapter 398: 398. Laughing with a bit of flirtatiousness_1

"Adam, why are you here?"

Leaning on the bed and reading the newspaper, the Old Master took off his reading glasses, glanced at Adam Jones, and asked casually.

Adam Jones walked over and sat down in front of the Old Master, smiling brightly, "Grandpa, I came especially to thank you."

This enthusiasm was somewhat excessive.

Elly Campbell felt a bit uncomfortable seeing the usually aloof Adam Jones suddenly behaving like a busybody, she hardly knew where to look.

Not just Elly, even the Old Master was somewhat overwhelmed by Adam’s sudden warmth; if he weren’t in such good health, he might have been startled into fainting.

"Thank me for what?"

"Thank you for sharing half of the soup with me."

Elly Campbell: "..."

Elly: "..."

Old Master: "..."

The Old Master looked up, giving Adam Jones a meaningful glance and couldn’t help clicking his tongue.

What was with this kid acting like he’s never had soup before?

"Heh heh!"

He laughed with profound meaning, "For some reason, our ordinarily stingy chef decided to make enough soup for two people today. I couldn’t finish it, so I shared it with you."

Elly Campbell: "..."

Adam Jones: "..."

Hearing what the Old Master said, Adam Jones first looked startled, but then he quickly understood the Old Master’s implication and was immediately overjoyed.

His gaze shifted to Elly, who was still standing by the door with an expressionless face, and the smile in his eyes deepened a bit more.

"Alright, since you’ve thanked me, hurry back and rest. You all go back too; I need to rest as well," the Old Master said, putting away the newspaper and shooing people away.

Seeing that the Old Master wanted to rest, naturally, the others in the hospital room didn’t linger and left the room one after another.

Elly Campbell walked alongside Elly, and Adam Jones insisted on walking close to Elly. She signaled him with her eyes to stay farther away, but he pretended not to see.

"Auntie, I have something to talk to Elly about, do you want to join us?"

Adam Jones looked towards the side at "light bulb Elly" and smiled warmly as he spoke, but his eyes clearly expressed his "unwelcome."

Of course, Elly saw the distaste in Adam Jones’ eyes and gave him a contemptuous eye roll before saying to Elly Campbell:

"I’ll wait for you downstairs, Auntie."

After Elly left, Adam Jones looked at Elly Campbell with a delighted face, smiling somewhat playfully.

Seeing his playful smile, Elly Campbell felt somewhat unable to bear it and frowned slightly, "What do you want to say?"

Adam Jones bent his head down, the corners of his lips irresistibly curving upwards. He leaned in close to her ear and whispered softly, "Thank you, Elly."

The man’s warm breath was like a soft feather, lightly brushing against Elly Campbell’s ear, tickling and sending what felt like an electric current throughout her body, causing her to shiver uncontrollably.

Her ears reddened with the heat, and she dodged to the side to avoid Adam Jones’ smiling gaze, pretending to be calm as she said, "What?"

The low laughter of Adam Jones reached her ears. He looked at Elly Campbell’s flickering gaze, stood in front of her, and peered deeply at her with lowered eyes, "That bowl of soup."

Elly Campbell, directly pointed out by him concerning the origin of "that bowl of soup," felt even more guilty.

"That was Jane making too much, and the Old Master shared it with you, why are you thanking me?"

"Yes, you’re right," he said.

Adam Jones looked at her beamingly, until Elly Campbell felt uncomfortable all over.

"Auntie is waiting for me downstairs; I’m off."

After speaking, she turned and quickly headed toward the elevator.

"Elly."

Adam Jones wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her into his embrace.
