Relentless Pursuit After Divorce
Chapter 2222: Young Love, So Sweet (135)
At that time, everyone knew it was just Samuel Wilson’s joke, but now, as Laura Jones recalled her mom’s words...
She pursed her lips, lost in thought.
Completely unaware that 23 years ago, she hadn’t even been born, it should’ve been her second brother at the right age.
In the Jones family master bedroom, after Adam Jones cornered his wife in the bathroom and gave her a severe ’punishment’, he complained:
"Why deceive Laura? With the way your daughter feels about the little chubby boy, upon hearing this, she might just pack up and move to the Wilson Clan to become their daughter-in-law."
"Oh, but I did promise Samuel Wilson back then, especially since our second child was a boy. You can’t go back on your word like that."
Elly Campbell rolled her eyes slightly, "You can’t possibly send Jack Campbell over, can you?"
Adam Jones: "..."
It was clearly a joke back then; who would take it seriously?
Seeing the look of frustration on her "old man’s" face, Elly Campbell smiled and comforted him:
"Alright, alright, I was just joking with you."
She hugged Adam Jones’ lean waist despite his age and said:
"You’ve seen it too, our daughter is too slow when it comes to relationships. By the time she realizes, the chubby boy might have been snatched away by another girl."
"Hah! If he’s that easy to steal away, do you think our Laura will care?"
Adam Jones was currently very unfriendly towards the little chubby boy.
"Is it easy to find a family with good character, good upbringing, and a kind heart for our daughter?"
Elly Campbell wasn’t one to insist on social pedigree, but after seeing men rise by relying on their wives only to later let them down, she wouldn’t gamble her daughter’s future.
At least, after observing the chubby boy for over twenty years, she believed he was someone trustworthy enough to entrust her daughter with.
If they were to find another, what could they observe in a short period of time?
If she could misjudge a person after over twenty years, Elly Campbell wouldn’t trust her judgment to accurately assess someone’s character in a short time.
Adam Jones was evidently persuaded by her, but wouldn’t admit it on the surface.
"My daughter, Adam Jones, has plenty of good boys wanting to marry her."
Elly Campbell didn’t want to entertain this thought.
She could easily imagine if there ever came a day when their daughter got married, he’d probably cry a river.
"William Campbell mentioned that the chubby boy was feeling down for several days after being spurned by your daughter. Anyway, let’s help out this time. If it really doesn’t work out, we won’t force it, okay?"
As parents, they just wanted to lend a hand. If it’s not meant to be, they can’t push it.
But missing out on such an excellent son-in-law made Elly Campbell feel a slight pang of regret.
Laura Jones eventually succeeded in getting into the film crew.
The filming location was in Bismarck, just a 3-hour drive from Boston.
However, as the sets were on the outskirts of Bismarck, it required another hour’s drive.
Adam Jones insisted on having the driver take Laura Jones there, and not wanting to anger her father again, Laura agreed.
But once they arrived at the film base, Laura Jones asked the driver to leave.
Coincidentally, she bumped into Hannah Taylor at the entrance.
"What are you doing here? Why aren’t you going in?"
"My dear cousin ordered me to wait here to take you inside."
Hannah Taylor rolled her eyes helplessly and clicked her tongue, saying:
"Do you think William Wilson is nuts? With so many people at this film base, are you going to get lost?"
