Fingertips, too, sank into her palms from nervousness, their surfaces long bereft of color.
Adam Jones finally showed a hint of reaction, but his raised eyes held a frigid indifference.
“Brother, I’m asking you, have you found a date yet?”
Sophie Baker’s gaze, following Lily Jones’s words, anxiously lingered on Adam Jones’s face.
“I’ll go look now.”
Amid the astonished looks from Sophie Baker and Lily Jones, Adam Jones turned and left, thoroughly dismissing Lily Jones’s question.
“Brother, come back! Come back! Isn’t there one right here? What’s there to look for…”
At this moment, Sophie Baker was the one who felt the most embarrassed and awkward.
After all her calculations, in the end, Adam Jones couldn’t even be bothered to pick up the one ready in front of him.
Who was he going to look for now? Elly Campbell?
Sophie Baker thought angrily to herself, resentment and jealousy spreading through her heart once again.
Having left the hospital room, Adam Jones took out his phone to call Elly Campbell, but as soon as it started ringing, the person on the other end hung up.
“This damned woman!”
She was in such a hurry to meet the parents that she didn’t even want to take his calls!
Adam Jones frowned in irritation, never before had he so wished Elly Campbell would answer her phone like he did at that moment.
His proud ego told him that Elly Campbell wasn’t yet of paramount importance to him, to the point of being irreplaceable.
Meanwhile, Elly Campbell had followed James Churchill to the Bismarck Grand Hotel, and the grand welcoming scene at the entrance made Elly frown involuntarily.
“Mr. Churchill, right this way, please.”
As soon as the two of them entered the hotel’s grand doors, someone greeted them and led them to a room on the side.
“What for?”
“Meeting my parents, how could we not dress you up properly to leave a good impression?”
James Churchill casually found a reason and then turned to the makeup artist standing by, “Make my treasure look beautiful.”
“Got it, Mr. Churchill.”
The makeup artist nodded, understandingly glancing at Elly Campbell.
Once the makeover was complete, Elly Campbell was stunned at her reflection in the mirror.
It wasn’t that she had never experienced such a thing; after all, she came from the Campbell family, and she was no stranger to grand occasions.
What dumbfounded her was that she had only agreed to help James Churchill by impersonating his lover to meet his parents, so why did it have to be so formal as if she was going to attend a gala?
“I knew it, my Elly is the most beautiful.”
James Churchill came over, staring at Elly Campbell momentarily before happily approaching her.
He offered his arm and said, “Let’s go.”
“James Churchill, what exactly are you playing at?”
She frowned, warily fixing her eyes on him.
“Relax, I’m not going to sell you off. I told you we’re just going to meet my parents. Worst case scenario, when you get pressured into marriage later on, I’ll help you out once. With an impressively handsome future son-in-law like me, your parents are bound to be satisfied.”
Elly Campbell looked at him and snorted disdainfully.

As a married woman with a son and soon to be divorced, her parents certainly wouldn’t dare to pressure her into marriage.
Seeing that she was already dressed up like this, it was too late for any regrets, so Elly Campbell could only steel herself and follow James Churchill to the elevator.
When she pushed open the heavy redwood door in front of her, Elly Campbell understood.
“James Churchill, you brought me here to attend a gala?”
Elly Campbell couldn’t believe her eyes and felt an urge to kick him.
She had only intended to do him a favor, not make such a big show of it for everyone to know.
