Adam Jones was speaking to the Old Lady, but his attention was fixed on Elly Campbell.
He could sense from the corner of his eye that she was watching him, the smile that wasn't quite a smile made him feel a bit guilty, he couldn't help but cover his mouth and cough lightly twice.
"Good, good, good, you've returned, and everyone's mind is at ease now. Elly has been exhausted these days, she's also carrying a child, and she has made Grandmother extremely worried. You must take good care of her."
When the Old Lady mentioned the child in Elly's womb, Adam felt that strange sense of rejection rising within him again, but he managed to hide this odd feeling well, not letting anyone notice.
"I will, Grandmother."
The Old Lady had been informed by Elly before the flight took off that they would be arriving home at this time today, so she had the servants prepare a big table full of dishes that Adam and Elly loved to eat.
After this incident, the Old Lady was truly frightened.
