"Mommy?"
William Campbell looked up, and Adam Jones also glanced up, his eyes darkening as he did so. When their gazes met Elly's, the coldness in the depths of their eyes was evident.
"Lynn, take William upstairs to have a bath."
Elly's gaze shifted away from Adam's face as she spoke with a detached tone.
Lynn Clark's eyes carried a thoughtful glance as they stole a look at both Elly and Adam, hesitating before she approached William.
Having been scolded coldly by Adam earlier, Lynn was still somewhat apprehensive as she regarded his darkening countenance.
"William, come on, Auntie will take you to have a bath."
William's expression clearly showed reluctance, his hand still clutching Adam's clothing, and he looked up at Elly, saying, "But Mommy, I haven't finished talking to Daddy."
"William, go have your bath first; we can talk with Daddy afterward."
Adam spoke up first, handing the child over to Lynn.
