Chapter 476: 476. President Jones is a clingy little demon_1

And finally, the chubby little brother, who had continuously urged his parents to have a daughter so that he himself could someday take a wife, was taken away by his dad and mom.

After the chubby brother was gone, Adam Jones stood up and walked over to Elly Campbell with a swagger. Looking at her flushed face, he gently touched her cheek with his hand, his smile brimming with ambiguity, and said,

"Honey, our son has found himself a fiancée. We can’t let other people’s sons be bachelors forever, so maybe..."

Before Adam could finish speaking, Elly gave his leg a fierce kick, "The ceremony is starting, get in line."

"So, about my suggestion just now..."

Adam, not willing to give up and relishing the rare chance to see his wife blush, felt the need to press on.

Elly gave him a cold look filled with anticipation bubbling in his eyes, and she scoffed, "If you’re so eager to have a daughter, go ahead and have one, I’m not stopping you. Why are you asking me?"

Holding their son’s hand, she quickly got in line.

Adam was initially taken aback and then realized what she was implying, feeling somewhat dissatisfied.

He put on a stern face and quickly followed behind her, grasping her hand and leaning in close to whisper in her ear, "I only want to have daughters with you."

At the sports field crowded with parents of every class, Adam’s action of leaning in to whisper in Elly’s ear looked to others like he was kissing her cheek.

PDA was being thrown about as if it was free of charge.

Feeling somewhat embarrassed by the onlookers, Elly shook off Adam’s hand and gave him a warning look, "Behave yourself when we’re out in public."

Her intention was to have him keep his distance and to stop him from making any ambiguous moves that might lead to gossip, but Adam deliberately lowered his capacity for understanding.

Hearing Elly’s words, instead of restraining himself, his roguish smile grew even more unbridled.

"So you mean to say, when we’re at home, I don’t need to hold back, right?"

The hand that Elly had shaken off was shamelessly reaching out again and grasping hers tightly, making it impossible for Elly to pull away.

The onlookers stared: "..."

They had never expected that President Jones, who seemed so unapproachable and distant in front of strangers, would actually be such a clingy "little devil" in private.

Meanwhile, his wife seemed more like the archetypal cool and distant boss.

Seeing Adam’s blatant cheekiness, Elly knew that the more attention she gave him, the more he would be encouraged, so she simply chose to ignore him.

And there, standing obediently in line amidst the crowd, President Jones, seeing that his wife hadn’t shaken off his hand again, instantly felt contented.

From the beginning to the end, he never let go of Elly’s hand, unaware to everyone was how despite appearing smug and insufferable, President Jones actually felt insecure on the inside.

He was always afraid that he might inadvertently push Elly away from him, especially when it came to their son.

If their son faced any grievances, he felt he was the root cause and feared Elly would place the blame entirely on him, causing her to gradually drift away.

All he could do was to try his hardest, to devote himself fully to making amends, yet still feeling it was never enough.

And in that moment, only by holding onto her could his heart finally find some peace.

Adam Jones glanced sideways at Elly with a trace of faint bitterness and loneliness in his eyes. What goes around, comes around; the anxiety Elly had once felt was now fully bestowed upon him.

During the parent-child sports day event, every activity required both the parents and children to participate together.
