Chapter 1498: 1498. Do you want to be my son?
He eagerly grabbed his mommy’s face and, with a lot of slobber, kissed her multiple times.
Elly Campbell held little Jack Campbell, caught between laughing and crying, and then heard him say, "Mommy, kiss Jack!"
This sentence was spoken with perfect clarity, his eyes—so identical to Elly’s—staring intently at her.
Elly leaned in close and planted several strong kisses, reddening the little guy’s cheeks before finally letting him go.
The two little kids hadn’t seen their mommy and daddy for so long; naturally, they weren’t willing to leave.
The couple could hardly bear to send these two little ones back to their own room, so of course, they let them sleep here.
And as for Island Master Jones, who had been holding back from eating meat due to the poor conditions in the mountains, even though he had planned to feast once back home, he suppressed the urge for now.
After all, these two irresponsible parents had left the boys at home all this time.
Finally, the two little ones fell asleep, one on each side, nestled in mommy and daddy’s arms.
Once they confirmed the kids were sound asleep, the two finally went to freshen up.
She subtly pushed him away and said, "Our two sons are still outside. Don’t make a fuss."
Adam Jones looked utterly aggrieved, "I’m not making a fuss. You kissed both sons, but you didn’t kiss me."
The familiar tone of a sulking spouse made Elly Campbell twitch the corner of her lips involuntarily.
So all this time, for over an hour, he’d been stewing over this.
She glared at him and said, "I kissed my sons. Do you want to be my son?"
Adam Jones: "..."
Can we even have a decent conversation anymore?
He stared at Elly Campbell with an expression full of grievance, refusing to say anything. After a moment, Elly couldn’t resist his mournful gaze and, standing on tiptoes, gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.
As she was about to pull away, Adam clasped her waist with both hands and, taking things further, said:
"You kissed William ten times and Jack thirty-five times. Combined, you owe me twenty-five kisses."
Elly Campbell: "..."
Get lost, quickly!
This guy is just...
During that hour earlier, she hadn’t kissed both sons all at once; it had been spaced out, kissing them once every now and then. Unexpectedly, this shameless man had kept track of every single kiss.
And now he had the nerve to come and settle accounts with her.
Though she had grown used to his antics, enough to have developed a resilience comparable to surviving a nuclear blast, she still couldn’t match Island Master Jones’s level of shamelessness, which had reached master-level proficiency.
Once the couple returned to Boston, they each immersed themselves in their respective work again.
And it was only after returning to Boston that Elly privately learned from Adam about William Hall sending people to the hospital to attempt to murder Helen Melendy in her ward.
She was so furious that she nearly stormed off to prison to shoot William Hall on the spot, but Adam stopped her in time.
The good news was that the doctor said Helen Melendy’s condition was gradually improving and that she was expected to wake up soon.
With this hope in her heart, Elly’s previous psychological obstacles began to ease significantly.
This also allowed Adam Jones to breathe a sigh of relief.
William Hall was arrested, and Harry Hall seized full control of the Hall Clan, while Mia Brown and her son completely disappeared from any conversation regarding the Hall family.
Because William Hall was captured, it even led to the exposure of his involvement in two other instances of instigated murder. The court had long since filed lawsuits against him.
