Chapter 682: 682. Random jealousy_1

But the young generation’s affairs were not something she, this old woman, wanted to get involved in.

"I understand, Mrs. Jones, I will take good care of myself," Helen affirmed.

This was Helen’s first encounter with the Old Lady of the Jones family. She had only heard from Elly about how kind the Old Lady was, and how she didn’t put on airs just because she was a matriarch of a wealthy family.

People like Leanne Richards weren’t even comparable to the Old Lady.

Now that she had met her in person, Helen felt that the Old Lady was even better than Elly had described.

Even though to her, she was merely the best friend of her granddaughter-in-law, a stranger she was meeting for the first time, the Old Lady’s concern in her words was sincere.

Once everyone was ready, the group began walking towards the tarmac.

As she stepped into the luxurious private jet, akin to a mansion, Helen felt ever more acutely the gap between herself and Harry.

Leanne was right; the only asset she had to match Harry was her barely passable good looks. What she had, the other women by Harry’s side had too; what she didn’t have, they did.

The gap between her and Harry was like the Milky Way; regardless of how hard she tried to cross it, it was an impossible feat.

Helen pursed her lips, suppressing the gloom in her eyes as she entered.

After everyone had boarded the plane, Elly approached Adam, who was still standing by the cabin door, and asked in a lowered voice:

"Is Harry definitely not coming?"

She sneaked a glance at Helen, who was sitting on the couch flipping through a magazine, her expression complicated as she looked at Adam.

Although she promised Helen she wouldn’t interfere with her affairs with Harry, seeing Helen visibly wasting away because of him, she couldn’t help but feel anguish.

Adam, upon seeing his own wife so earnestly worried about Helen, couldn’t help but feel a pang of jealousy.

He gripped her hand tightly, and with punishing firmness, squeezed it, saying:

"I wish you were as worried about me as you are about Helen."

Elly: "..."

He really would get jealous over anything.

Elly shot him an annoyed look and retorted, "Sure, when you break up with some close female friend, I’ll show the same concern."

Adam: "..."

He regretted his words; he really shouldn’t have spoken those self-defeating remarks.

He lightly tapped her forehead and said gravely, "You are my close female friend, and I won’t give you a chance to break up with me."

Pulling her into the cabin, Elly still couldn’t let it go, her gaze drifting back towards the entrance to the rear courtyard. The next second, her eyes lit up.

She gently tugged Adam’s hand and motioned with her eyes for him to look into the distance.

Following her gaze, Adam indeed saw the person who had said the day before that he did not want to know why Helen had decided to terminate her pregnancy, now carrying his luggage and coming their way.

"Wasn’t he not coming?"

As Harry approached, Adam couldn’t help but taunt him.

When Harry had advised Adam, he kept telling him he was too proud, that his stubbornness had left him without a wife. Now it was his turn, and it seemed he was acting no less dramatically.

Harry, gripping his luggage, tightened his hold, then stepped up the cabin stairs, saying, "After all, I’ve got nothing else to do."

The Jones couple: "..."

When Harry entered, his gaze instinctively swept over the airplane’s lounge. On the couch, apart from the Old Lady, William, and that ragdoll cat, he didn’t spot her.
