Seeing the driver so cooperative, Adam Jones curled his lips in satisfaction and completely ignored the not-so-bright little "light bulb" beside him. His eyes twinkling with a smile, he watched Elly Campbell.
Feeling his gaze upon her, Elly grew uncomfortable, but the next second, her body was loosely embraced by Adam.
Elly. A gift with the groceries. Light bulb. One: "???"
Why are daddy and mommy hugging each other?
Daddy is surely blushing, so grown up and still wanting mommy's hugs.
Little William wrinkled his brow, his eyes filled with disdain.
But he had been thoroughly ignored by his own father, as if he didn't exist at all.
"Elly, thank you."
The gratitude in Adam's voice was especially earnest, causing Elly, held in his arms, to stiffen slightly, unsure of what had prompted this sudden thanks.
"Thank you for still worrying about me, for giving me another chance to stand by your side."
Elly hadn't expected him to say that, a flicker of surprise crossing her eyes.
