NovelOnlineChapter 1496: 1496. Make a wish to the moon
Elly Campbell never really paid much attention to Sophia Taylor, but she didn’t expect that Adam Jones would
notice that Sophia had annoyed her.
It was just a petty jealousy typical of girls who can’t stand others doing well—it wasn’t worth her tor effort to
complain to her husband about something so trivial.
That little Sophia Taylor, all she dared to do was play games with words—she wouldn't actually dare to do
anything else.
Even if she did recklessly try something, Adam wouldn't need to step in personally.
After thinking about it for a moment, Elly smiled and shook her head, saying:
“It’s nothing. | figure that girl is probably trying to leave Atlanta Baker's school so she can useto get a
position at a better school.”
She didn’t mention to Adam the gossip Sophia had spread about her being flirtatious with men. Sophia was low,
and Elly didn’t want to stoop down to her level.
When Adam noticed that Elly didn’t want to talk about Sophia Taylor anymore and saw that his wife didn’t seem
bothered by the issue, he figured she hadn’t given much thought to the volunteer teacher. Naturally, he didn’t
bring it up further, avoiding the risk of her getting upset.
By the tthe plane landed at the Jones Family's private landing pad, it was already late at night.

The couple entered the house quietly. When they reached the staircase, they heard William's voice coming from
the next room, where their younger son was.
“Little brother, do you miss Daddy and Mommy?”
“l do...”
The couple froze in place outside the door.
William was already five years old and slept in his own room, while Jack stayed with the babysitter who usually
looked after him.
Why was William in Jack’s room at this hour, and why hadn’t they gone to bed yet?
Elly quietly pushed the door open just a crack.
She saw William leaning against the small bed, standing face-to-face with the little one sitting inside.
A one-year-old Jack was gripping the frof the small bed, trying to climb out. But because the railings were
too high, he couldn't get out and could only sit there, frustrated, chatting with his older brother.
On the large bed nearby, the babysitter was sound asleep, completely unaware that the two brothers were
awake.
“I miss them too. | wonder if they miss us,” William murmured as he held his little brother's hand.
He continued, saying: “Today Aunt Alex tolda story. In it, whenever the little boy missed his Daddy and
Mommy, he would make a wish to the moon. How about we make a wish too?”
Jack didn’t quite understand, but when he heard William's “How about it?” he nodded and replied in his baby
voice, “Okay.”
Through the crack in the door, Elly
watched as William cupped his

Elly stood at the door, listening to her two boys’ innocent wishes. Her eyes stung with emotion.

To them, having their parents present mattered far more than all the privileges their lifestyle afforded.
