Upon hearing Elly Campbell's voice, Lynn Clark stopped what she was doing, a flicker of resentment in her eyes, but it quickly receded as she looked up at Elly and said:
"Mr. Jones has taken William away."
"Taken him where?"
Elly Campbell frowned. It was already dark; surely Adam Jones couldn't be taking William back to Boston now.
"Next door."
"Next door?"
Elly hadn't noticed Lynn's cool demeanor. Hearing her answer, her brow furrowed.
What was Adam doing with William next door?
She hadn't even noticed who lived there.
After a moment's contemplation, Elly decided to go over and rang the doorbell.
The door soon opened, and there stood Adam Jones, now dressed in casual clothing. When he saw her, he raised an eyebrow, "You came?"
The slightly upward lilt in his voice had a suggestive undertone that made Elly frown.
"I have something to ask you."
