Sophie Baker thought, and before she knew it, her eyes began to sting with the powerless feeling that she could never catch up to Adam Jones's pace, which made her heart even more sour.
Beneath that sourness, the unwillingness that emerged became even more intense.
She wondered, why did she have to act so humble and submissive in front of Adam Jones, unable to behave recklessly as Elly Campbell did before him?
After building herself up mentally, Sophie Baker raised her eyes to look at Adam Jones, but as she met those deep, oceanic eyes, her newfound courage shrank back.
She could only give a dry laugh and said,
"Adam, this is my mother."
Adam Jones looked surprised for a moment, then nodded his head, and the chill in his face lessened slightly.
It seemed that only because he didn't recognize Melody Baker had he rudely interrupted her earlier.
He then apologized,
"Sorry, I don't remember."
Melody Baker knew he didn't remember, so she didn't doubt his explanation.
