Prosperous Marriage: Married to My Brother-in-law-Chapter 700 Adele’s Reaction (2)_1

"Jimmy."

Adele Horne felt as if she had been reborn, from weakness to strength in an instant. She shook off Gio Coleman's support and rushed ahead of everyone else.

She was still wearing high heels...

The others also started to pour out.

Gio Coleman was the last one to leave. As he saw the intense concern Adele had for her son, an indescribable emotion filled his heart. It was a mix of being moved and pity. From his old classmate, he realized that mothers are truly great. Their love for their children is as heavy as a mountain.

"Jimmy."

"Mommy."

Just as Julia was opening the car door, Adele ran up, pulled her son out of the car, and lifted him into her arms, clutching him tightly, crying and laughing at the same time, "Jimmy, you scared Mommy to death, you really did..."

"Mommy, I'm sorry." Jimmy Horne hugged Adele's neck sensibly.

It wasn't his fault, but he had worried his mother, so he apologized.

"Glades, what happened?" Gian Horne looked toward Glades Horne, wanting to know roughly what had happened.

Who would dare do such a thing to the Horne family's two precious heirs?

"It's all right now. Let's all go inside first; we'll talk about it inside."

Glades Horne spoke in a deep voice. After seeing his mother holding Ivan Horne and ensuring that his son was safe and unharmed, his fury towards Noah Reyes subsided by a fraction.

But the remaining nine parts were enough to incinerate Noah Reyes into ashes.

Everyone made their way back into the house.

The whole family gathered in the living room. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Julia Bluen was holding Ivan, while Adele held Jimmy.

Glades Horne gazed deeply at Adele and said, "Adele, he has come!"

He has come? Which 'he'? Adele looked at her brother in confusion.

Everyone else also looked at Glades Horne. His abrupt statement, "he has come," was puzzling. Who had come?

"The guy with the last name Black." Instead of saying directly that Jimmy's biological father had arrived, Glades Horne referred to him as the guy with the last name Black.

The guy with the last name Black?

First frowning, Adele's face suddenly turned pale as if she had just realized something. Her hands, holding Jimmy, subconsciously tightened their grip on him.

"He is Noah Reyes! The true mastermind behind the Black Emperor Group, and currently our rival at Valence Group." Glades Horne went on, his gaze still deep as he looked at his sister, his heart aching at her reaction.

Adele's face turned even paler.

The next moment, she stood up abruptly with her son and hurried upstairs.

He has come!

The thought was all-consuming in her mind. He has come; was he here to take her son away? He is Noah Reyes! He turned out to be Noah Reyes! The true boss of the Black Emperor Group! Her own company's rival! All these, she didn't want to deal with. What she was worried about was him coming to snatch her son! Was everything that had happened tonight his doing? Was it him who had kidnapped Jimmy?

"Mommy?" Jimmy Horne sounded a bit puzzled as he called out. Why was Mommy clutching him so anxiously as they went upstairs? He hadn't eaten yet; he was hungry. Also, he wasn't little anymore, and he wasn't light. Mommy still held him like she used to. Didn't that tire her out? He loved Mommy the most, and he didn't want her to get tired.

"Adele."

Mila Anderson chased after her up the stairs.

Adele's pale complexion pained her mother's heart as if it were being slashed with knives.

Gio Coleman also wanted to chase after her up the stairs. Seeing Adele Horne's reaction, he guessed at a possibility: that the "he" Glades Horne had mentioned was Jimmy Horne's biological father. And Adele's fear made him want to wrap her in his arms and protect her gently. But now, he couldn't do anything. In Adele's heart, he was merely an old classmate!

Adele Horne ran up to her room and immediately locked the door tightly behind her.

Holding her son and leaning against the door, she slid down to sit on the floor.

Her complexion was still very pale, and the grip she had on Jimmy was even tighter, as if the moment she loosened her hold, Noah Reyes would snatch him away.

"Mommy?" Jimmy Horne looked up into her face from her arms. Seeing tears on her face, the sensible little guy lifted his tiny hand, wiped her tears, and said sensibly, "Mommy, Jimmy's back. Jimmy's fine. Don't cry; that uncle didn't hurt Jimmy."

"Jimmy..." Adele Horne bent her head down, pressing her tear-streaked face against her son's.

This was her son! Hers alone! She had borne him despite the scandals and whispers. All these years, she had been both father and mother to him. Her son was her everything. She wouldn't allow anyone to take her son away.

When she heard Jimmy mention "the uncle," she immediately asked anxiously, "Jimmy, who is that uncle?" If this kidnapping was orchestrated by Noah Reyes, then had father and son met? For so many years, her elder brother and Hansen Ruiz had expended no small amount of manpower and resources to find that man, yet there had been no news of him at all. Now, he suddenly appeared and even knew about Jimmy Horne's existence. If he really wanted to take her son away, what would she do? To this day, she couldn't even remember what he looked like. She couldn't remember his face at all.

"That uncle looks a lot like Jimmy. He said he was my daddy, but I don't believe him. Mommy said that my daddy had gone far away to work. Jimmy doesn't dislike him, though, and wants him to be a godfather. So I told him to come find Mommy and talk it over," Jimmy Horne explained what had happened when he met Noah Reyes.

He also told Mommy that the uncle's house was as pretty and as big as Grandma's.

He really had come for his son!

Adele Horne's heart trembled even more.

In her urgency, she almost roared, "Jimmy Horne, from now on, you must not see that uncle again! Do you understand? You are not to see him. If you do, you won't be able to see Mommy ever again!"

Jimmy Horne looked at her, stunned.

This was the first time he had seen Mommy so angry, and it was all directed at him! Not seeing Mommy if he saw the uncle? Why?

The little guy couldn't begin to comprehend the thoughts of adults.

He really wanted to grow up quickly, but he was only four years old. Growing up was still more than a decade away.

"Did you hear me? You must not see that uncle again. He is an uncle, not your daddy. Your daddy has gone far away to work..."

"Adele, open the door, please. Let Mom in?" Mila Anderson urged from outside, knocking on the door.
