Chapter 678: 678. You’re just a thoroughly bad woman_1

But he merely indulged the thought secretly, worried that if he brought it up too much, his wife might become unhappy. The last time he mentioned it, and now she was the one bringing it up again, Adam Jones was naturally overjoyed.

"Okay, I’ll try my best."

"It’s not like you’re the one giving birth, what are you trying too hard at?"

Elly Campbell huffed lightly, and the next second, she realized she had said something silly.

Sure enough, the person next to her was ready to make indecent jokes again, "If I don’t put in some effort, how are you going to make our daughter all by yourself?"

Elly had recently gotten used to him making indecent jokes, so she just reached out and gave his arm a hard twist and then, thinking of something else, she said:

"Right..."

"What?"

"You said that Mrs. Green hasn’t bothered you or Lily Jones for over twenty years, so why is she suddenly looking for you now?"

She didn’t see Daisy Thompson as a mother-in-law, so naturally, she wouldn’t call her "Mom." Referring to her as Mrs. Green rather than Daisy Thompson was a great show of restraint on her part.

Hearing Elly mention Daisy Thompson, Adam’s reaction wasn’t intense, but there was a hint of disgust in his eyes.

"Don’t worry about her, whatever she wants to do, it’s none of our business."

He held Elly’s hand and emphasized, "In any case, if she comes to bother you, don’t worry about me, just do whatever makes you happy."

Elly laughed at his comment, "I know, you’ve emphasized it over and over again, you almost made me think I was a good person."

"Well, in my heart, you’re a thoroughly bad woman, and I love you all the same,"

Adam Jones said with a soft laugh, wrapping his arms around her waist.

The two chatted leisurely for a while, when Elly remembered the Old Lady’s health, and then said:

"I think grandma’s been in pretty good health lately, so let’s take her out for a trip this Easter."

The Old Master had gone traveling a few days ago with his second daughter, and she thought it would be a good opportunity to take the Old Lady out during this holiday as well.

Hearing her say this, the smile in Adam’s eyes gradually spread.

"I had the same idea; I’ve already had someone make the arrangements, and we’ll leave tomorrow."

He looked at Elly Campbell’s delicate face, and, deeply moved, pulled her into his arms, his voice slightly deep and filled with gratitude.

"Elly..."

"Hmm?"

"Thank you for being so good to my grandma."

Elly was stunned for a moment, then realized why he had looked so happy when she mentioned taking his grandmother with them.

For some reason, as she heard his words, Elly thought about how Daisy Thompson had coldly abandoned him when he was so young. Thinking of the six-year-old boy, lost and helpless, she felt a great pang of heartache.

She wrapped her arms around his waist and said, "You’re like a fool, saying such nonsense."

Laughter from Adam, low and close, reached her ears, but he did not let go of Elly.

He was genuinely full of gratitude for everything she had done for him.

Grateful that she liked him back then, even though he was a loner; grateful that Helen silently stood by him, the heartless him, for three years but still didn’t completely give up on him; grateful that she gave birth to little William Campbell for him; grateful that she was willing to give him another chance...

A multitude of thanks weighed on his heart, wanting to be expressed yet not knowing where to start, with only a ’thank you’ capturing it all.

"There’s nothing I can do then, you can’t abandon me even if I’m a fool,"

Adam Jones said in a low voice.

Elly broke free from his embrace, reached out to grab his collar, pulled his body down to meet her gaze.
