"Dad!"
Clearly, William Campbell was very happy to see Adam Jones. He bounded down from upstairs and jumped right onto Adam.
Feeling the warmth in his heart from his son's happiness at seeing him, Adam hugged his son and, gripping his little behind, boosted him up, "You've gotten heavier."
"Auntie cooks me yummy food every day."
Lil' William answered, clinging to Adam's neck, his voice babyish and sweet.
Upon hearing William praise Adam, Lynn Clark's face lit up with joy, but when she looked at Adam, she saw that he still didn't glance her way. He just kept chatting and laughing with his son while sitting down next to Elly Campbell.
Lynn's smile stiffened on her lips, and she didn't make a sound for a long time, apparently lost in thought.
"Lynn, why are you standing? Sit down and eat."
In the Campbell home, besides her and her son, only Lynn was present, so, during meals, Elly always had Lynn join them.
