Chapter 417: 417. Spring Stirring Teen_1

But she was just a servant, and it wasn’t her place to comment on the affairs of her masters, so when the Old Lady spoke, she did not respond, but instead offered comfort:

"The words you said to Miss Elly today, she should be able to take some of them to heart. Please don’t be angry, working yourself up is bad for your health."

Mrs. Jones sighed softly and shook her head.

After all, Elly was her own granddaughter, and she hoped that the child would do well. Otherwise, knowing Adam’s temperament, if he truly became infuriated, even with his own sister, he would not be lenient.

Adam Jones drove from the Jones residence toward the Campbell home, occasionally glancing at the stuffed cat he had placed in the passenger seat, feeling a faint sense of trepidation.

He was always worried that the pet he had chosen might not find favor with his wife.

Upon arriving at the Campbell residence, a servant immediately came over and said, "Young Master Jones, right this way, please."

Adam Jones nodded slightly, his face the picture of profound indifference, and strode inside.

The hand carrying the space capsule unconsciously tightened, and without reason, a tinge of nervousness manifested.

His gaze swept unconsciously around the hall, but Elly was nowhere to be seen. Adam’s eyebrows furrowed almost imperceptibly, and his eyes showed a hint of disappointment.

"Young Master Jones, please wait a moment. The Old Master is dealing with some matters in the study and will be down shortly," said the servant, respectfully bringing Adam his coffee.

Adam replied absent-mindedly with a hum, unable to hold back, he still asked, "Where is Elly?"

"Miss Campbell is in the back garden, helping the Old Master prune the potted plants. Would you like to go over, Young Master Jones?"

Jane, the servant who brought the coffee and had previously stewed soup for the Old Master, knew a bit about Miss Campbell and the prospective son-in-law’s affairs and was visibly pleased when she heard him inquire about Miss Campbell.

Adam was somewhat unsettled by Jane’s look of joy, but still hummed in acknowledgment and rose to walk towards the back garden.

Upon reaching the back garden, he saw from a distance the slender figure standing slightly bent over in front of a row of meticulously pruned potted plants, holding scissors and carefully trimming the branches and leaves.

On Adam’s face appeared a rare hint of nervousness, like that of a youth in the throes of spring, awkward in the presence of a girl he admired.

He halted in his tracks and after a long while, he knelt down, opened the space capsule he was holding, and released the little stuffed kitten, gently patting its tiny bottom and saying:

"Go to mommy."

The little kitten, whether it understood or not, actually began to wriggle its tiny body, its little behind swaying back and forth as it headed toward Elly.

Elly Campbell was earnestly trimming the plant in front of her when suddenly she felt a tickling sensation at her ankle followed by the plaintive meow of a kitten.

Sensing the movement, she looked down and saw a small white kitten raising its little head to look at her.

Its deep blue eyes shone like twin sapphires, glimmering as they looked at her, emitting several little cries.

Elly’s eyes brightened immediately; moved by the little creature’s calls, her heart softened.

She put down her scissors, knelt down, and picked up the kitten, "Little one, whose are you, and how did you get here?"

Elly thought the kitten might belong to one of the household servants that had wandered into her area; the kitten was both beautiful and cute, and she couldn’t help but hold it close and adore it.
