Chapter 879: 879. Can you be normal?
"You’re carrying the Jones family’s treasure right now, how could we not be anxious?"
The old lady looked at her with disapproval and then called a servant over to help Elly Campbell, giving Elly the sudden impression that she was incapable of taking care of herself.
But she didn’t want to brush off the old lady’s kindness, so she had no choice but to let the servants assist her into the house.
Only after much persuasion did the old lady send the servants away, and just as Elly was about to relax, she heard her beloved son William stand by her side and earnestly caution,
"Mummy, be careful, and don’t hurt Little Fatty’s wife."
Elly: "..."
She was already feeling a little sad that her unborn child was taking over the affection meant for her.
Her gaze fell on Adam Jones with a touch of melancholy; he walked to her side with a smile, sat down, tenderly hugged her, and gently patted her, "There, there, hubby loves you."
Elly couldn’t help but curse inwardly.
When she finally managed to send all the surrounding servants away and went downstairs after her nap in the afternoon, she saw Robert Green and two other secretaries from Jones carrying a big stack of files into the house.
Upon seeing Elly come downstairs, they greeted her with great respect, "Good afternoon, Ma’am."
Elly nodded and then her eyes landed on the two big piles of files in the living room. She instinctively frowned and asked,
"What are these?"
Robert Green’s expression became a bit complicated as he glanced at his own big boss sitting on the living room sofa, hesitating before saying,
"These are some documents that the CEO needs to review. Since the CEO is too busy to handle them, I had them brought over here."
He certainly wouldn’t say that the CEO initially made a phone call to the company, stating that his wife was pregnant and ordered him to move all the documents needing his attention to the Jones residence so he could stay at home with her.
Now, the entire company knew about her pregnancy.
After all, their big boss wished the whole world knew about his wife’s pregnancy; it was too easy to let just one company know.
Elly: "..."
She stared unblinkingly at Robert Green, making his ears grow hot as he guiltily looked away.
"Assistant Baker, all the files have been brought in."
The two secretaries entered, positioning themselves next to Robert Green, waiting for their CEO to speak.
Adam Jones stood up from the sofa and waved them off, "You can go back now."
"Alright, CEO, we’ll head back now. Goodbye, CEO; goodbye, Ma’am."
Robert Green left with the secretaries, bidding farewell to Mr. and Mrs. Jones in an obsequious manner, and then he left with the two secretaries.
After the three of them had left, Adam quickly stepped over to Elly’s side, trying to please her,
"I want to be at home with you."
Elly gave him a cold look, feeling inwardly devastated.
The day he mentioned that he would have Robert Green bring work home, she had thought he was just speaking off the cuff and didn’t expect he actually planned to do it.
"It’s just a pregnancy, can’t you act normal?"
"How am I not acting normal? Isn’t it natural for a husband to want to be by his pregnant wife’s side?"
Adam Jones countered, not seeing anything wrong with his stance.
Elly, feeling helpless, pinched the bridge of her nose, not in the mood to entertain him any longer. She left the living room and headed to the backyard to find William and her other child.
Seeing his wife walk away, Adam hurriedly followed, carefully guarding her side and incessantly reminding her.
