Chapter 873: 873. Gentle and considerate, a graceful young man

He knew that his wife had probably been hoping a long time ago for a man to sincerely care for her mother.

As her husband, he should support her ideas unconditionally, not think about throwing cold water on her plans.

With this thought, Adam Jones began to speak:

"That will depend on Professor Ford’s abilities, but..."

Adam Jones paused for a moment, and Elly Campbell’s smile also froze for half a second.

Words like "but" and "however" usually precede content she doesn’t like to hear.

Adam didn’t actually throw cold water on her, but chose his words carefully before saying to Elly:

"I don’t think Mom cares much for Professor Ford, and if it’s only him who’s interested, we can’t force a match between them."

Upon hearing this, Elly fell silent for a few seconds, then let out a somewhat discouraged sigh, saying:

"That’s true; Mom told me just a while ago that she planned to stay single for the rest of her life."

Elly, quite disagreeing, continued, "Mom is still so young, she was tormented by James Campbell for most of her life, she should find a man who cherishes her to accompany her in the latter part of her life."

Of course, Adam immediately agreed without hesitation, nodding, "Wife, you are right."

"I find Professor Ford to be a decent person, and he is well-matched with my mother. But still, people need more interaction to see someone’s true character; after all, James Campbell was also a good man to Mom in the beginning, and that’s why she agreed to marry him."

This was something she had brought up when chatting with her mother in the past.

She once asked her mother why her grandparents would marry her off to someone like James Campbell.

Even if her grandparents considered her grandfather’s reputation and believed James Campbell wasn’t beyond redemption, what about her own mother?

If she was unwilling, how could her grandparents possibly have married her off to someone like James Campbell?

Later, her mother told her that when her grandparents wanted to marry her off to James Campbell, it wasn’t a blind and deaf arrangement; instead, she had spent some time with James Campbell herself.

James Campbell, how should I put it?

He certainly looked great; when he was young, he was quite a charming figure.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have fathered such a beautiful daughter as Elly.

When James Campbell first interacted with her mother, he was truly attentive and so thoughtful that any girl might have her heart flutter.

A dashing young man, gentle and considerate—at that time, they were both teenagers around eighteen or nineteen, at an age when love first blossoms, and of course, her mother was attracted to him.

After that, she married James Campbell.

Little did she know, his true colors were revealed so quickly; it wasn’t long before he got involved with Melody Baker.

It is said that Melody Baker was James Campbell’s high school classmate, and he had once had an unrequited love for her. After that, when Melody Baker dated another male classmate, James Campbell was unsuccessful and even became dejected for a while.

Later, when he was with her mother, it seemed he had long put Baker behind him, but it turned out that Melody Baker, whom he couldn’t get, was the cinnabar mole in his heart, indelible.

When Melody Baker reappeared before him, he betrayed her mother at the drop of a hat. All those past tender gestures were washed away clean as if by rainwater, after James Campbell’s affair with Melody Baker.

Now Jamuna Ford is actually following the same old path as James Campbell; in fact, Elly herself is unclear about what he is really like.

She simply hopes so much for her mother to have a happy ending; that’s why she has been so eager to get the two of them together.
