Chapter 378: 378. Want to make you happy_1

Elly Campbell thought she had heard wrong and lifted her eyes suddenly to look at Adam Jones. Her clear eyes sparkled dazzlingly with excitement.

But she feared that Adam had misunderstood her, so she emphasized it again, "I said, give me back William’s custody."

Adam looked at her with a smile brimming in his eyes, reached out and gently ruffled her hair, and repeated, "I understood, I promise you, William will be returned to you."

He saw the delight in Elly’s eyes grow brighter and overflow from her eyes, and his thin lips curved upwards.

The next second, the joy in Elly’s eyes dimmed a bit, replaced by a doubtful look, "You’re not just humoring me, are you?"

Laughter lingered in Adam’s eyes as he stepped closer to her and gazed into her eyes deeply, nodding, "Yes, I’m humoring you."

The joy on Elly’s face vanished entirely in an instant, she knew Adam Jones wasn’t someone who could be so easily persuaded.

Would he just return the custody he’d fought so hard to take away without a fight?
