Chapter 584: 584. The Old Lady Fell Down_1

Elly Campbell knew Adam Jones was pretending to be ignorant, but she couldn’t refute him.

If she argued, Adam would definitely accuse her of having an unhealthy mind, obsessed with that sort of thing.

And ultimately, she would be the one at a loss.

Lately, he had become quite articulate, and she couldn’t win against him.

Giving him a silent eye roll, she directly avoided the topic.

Adam leaned in, whispering coaxingly, "Don’t be angry, I made breakfast, come and eat."

He hooked Elly’s little finger, teasingly scraping it against the palm of her hand, earning a glare from her and she shook him off.

After breakfast, Adam took it upon himself to take their son to school, and then drove Elly to work.

On the way to the company, thinking about how Adam had been delayed here for a while, and that the Jones Corporation couldn’t possibly do without him, she asked:

"It’s been so many days, are you not going back to Boston? Aren’t you concerned about the company’s affairs?"

Just her being away from Alaska for a while meant coming back to a pile of issues to deal with, let alone for the Jones Corporation.

Adam was driving when he heard Elly’s question; his hand on the steering wheel suddenly tightened.

After a moment of silence, he glanced sideways at Elly and asked, "What about you, would you be willing to come back to Boston with me?"

Brayman was in Alaska, handed down to his wife by his mother-in-law, and it had just recently gone public under her control.

If she wasn’t willing to leave Alaska, what right did he have to ask her to return with him?

Was it because they were remarried?

That was something he couldn’t bring himself to say.

Even if they were remarried, why shouldn’t it be him staying here for her sake, instead of her having to follow him back to Boston?

The Jones Corporation couldn’t do without him, but equally, he didn’t want to be away from his wife and children.

Work issues could always be worked out.

If nothing else, he could just bear the burden himself, flying back and forth wasn’t undoable.

Elly, taken aback by his question, paused.

This question had never crossed her mind; subconsciously, she had assumed that since they planned to remarry, it was natural for her to return to the Jones Family.

She hadn’t expected Adam to consider even more than she had.

His asking her now was obviously because he considered her perspective more than his own, and didn’t presume she should give up everything here for him.

She stared at Adam in silence.

Seeing that she didn’t respond, Adam didn’t press further. He hadn’t expected her to answer right away when he asked.

They drove all the way to the Brayman building, and before getting out of the car, Adam reached out to hold her, "I’ll take care of the Jones Corporation’s issues, don’t worry."

Elly was startled again, realizing he was addressing her earlier question, she nodded, "Okay."

What Elly didn’t tell Adam was that although she was the chairman of Brayman, Greenhill Ainley was in charge of most affairs, and even for decisions he couldn’t make, her mother was there.

Unlike him, the Old Lady was getting on in years, and the entire Jones Corporation couldn’t operate without him.

But she didn’t mention this to Adam.

However, it was at this moment, Elly received a call from Gloria at the Jones residence.

The Old Lady had fallen ill.

Ever since the death of Adam’s father, the Old Lady’s health had been poor, and it got even worse after supporting the Jones Corporation for so many years.

It was only when Adam took over the Jones Corporation from her that the Old Lady finally got the chance to breathe and slowly recover.
