Purchased A Mr. Right

Meadow had called Amelie not long ago.

At that time, before she called Amelie, Meadow had arranged a blind date for Adam. The blind date failed, but the girl who had dated with Adam refused to tell others the reason for failure. What's more, she adamantly refused to see Adam again. This result made Meadow very anxious.

Adam, her eldest son's love affairs, had always been a big problem for Meadow.

"I don't want my beloved son to be single through his life!"

The girls of blind dates arranged for Adam often failed to please him, while Adam had only a small number of female colleagues because he was a military officer. As time passed by, Meadow began to worry about her son's sexual orientation.

Meadow had discussed with her husband about how to help Adam find a suitable girlfriend. They decided to set Amelie Celestin, who came from the Celestin family, as a target.

Adam and Amelie grew up together and now the two of them were getting along well. They were both military officers. Even if Adam might not feel that

Celestin was charming, at least he should not feel her repulsive. In this case, a marriage between the two of them would still be acceptable!

With such a plan in her mind, Meadow indirectly mentioned the possibility between the two of them on the phone call with Amelie. She wanted Amelie to become her daughter-in-law, she hinted.

But...

Who would have predicted in advance that Adam would soon bring a young girl back home!

Meadow was excited and happy about it, but at the same time she was also worried about how to deal with Amelie.

After all, she really liked the little girl that her son brought back home!

When Meadow's heart was beating fast because of her dilemma, her husband suddenly put down the wine glass.

Meadow looked over there nervously.

Bellamy was looking at Adam and Amelie with a smile. Amelie was trying to make conversation with Adam. They were talking about military affairs in the army. Adam occasionally nodded and responded to her. "Tonny, you see how congenial they are!" "Yes!" Amelie's father immediately echoed. "Amelie is quite proud of being a military officer for a long time. When she was with me in some other gathering-ups, she was not very willing to chat with other boys. But now she's chatting with Adam happily!"

Bellamy added with a smile, "They are childhood friends. It's only natural that they could communicate with each other well!"

"Brother Bellamy, you're right!" Amelie's father also smiled.

Bellamy caressed the edge of the wine glass and went on to the central topic. "Rory passed away after getting married three months with Adam. Over the past three years, Meadow and I have been worried about his love affairs! Tonny, I like your daughter very much. I just don't know if Adam is lucky enough to become her boyfriend. If he is so, that will certainly be something happy for all of us!"

"Haha... That's how it works! But it's Amelie who needs to be lucky enough to become his girlfriend!" Amelie's father said.

They almost began to talk about the marriage between Adam and Amelie.

Amelie didn't say anything and appeared to be shy of the elders' jokes. She lowered her face and ate the dish silently.

Adam, who had been silent, glanced at the opposite side. He didn't keep silent as Amelie did. Instead, he said in a deep voice, "Uncle Celestin, I already have a girlfriend."

Bellamy frowned as he glared at his son. He then coughed twice to signal him that he shouldn't say anything else.

Adam didn't seem to notice the hint from his father and added casually, "My parents know about it, and they have met my girlfriend before."

Bellamy was petrified,

Tonny Celestin stopped smiling. "Ah... Uh-huh..."

The originally warm and happy atmosphere suddenly quieted down, and even the air seemed to be filled with noticeable embarrassment.

Amelie clenched her fists under the table. She originally thought that Adam would be like herself, accepting the elders make fun of them. She hadn't expected that he would refute her father in such a manner. She felt a little embarrassed and annoyed.

However, she knew that there were some things that couldn't be attained hastily.

Amelie perfectly hid her bad mood with a bright smile. She said, "Dad, Uncle Chin, you haven't seen each other for such a long time. Let's talk more about you two, and less about Adam and me!" Her soft voice eased the nervous atmosphere at

once.

Bellamy's gloomy face relaxed as he said in a pleased tone, "Amelie is a clever girl!"

Amelie's smile became even sweeter. "I'm flattered!"

In order to avoid any other trouble brought about by his son, Bellamy put up with his original plan for the time being. He didn't continue to talk about the love affairs between Adam and Amelie, but only talked about other mundane topics.

After dinner, the servants cut fresh fruits and sent them to the living room.

Bellamy and Amelie's father went to the living room to drink tea and have some fruits. Amelie walked to Adam and asked, "Adam, can we chat for a while?"

"Okay." Adam nodded.

The two of them went to the garden house in the backyard.

In addition to the fish-raising pond that Bellamy loved most, there was also a small flower patch that Meadow took care of every day in the garden house. Although it was cold outside in the winter, it was as warm as in the spring inside the garden house. Pots of flowers were blooming in all their splendor.

Amelie was holding a cup of hot coffee in her hand. She and Adam sat down on two chairs next to the fish pond.

She paused for a moment and took the lead in speaking. "Adam, I hope you don't mind what happened at the dining table... Our parents just thought that they were good friends, and wanted something even better!"

Adam glanced at her quietly and said nothing.

Amelie changed the topic, looking like a naive girl. "Adam, do you still remember what happened when we were still children? Every time I came to your house, I would play hide-and-seek games with you. I often hid in this garden house, and each time you can find me out quickly. Haw-haw... At that time, the garden house seemed to be smaller than it is now. I liked the lovegrass very much and often asked you to secretly pick some for me!

"Do you know what the word "lovegrass" means? It stands for perfect love!"

Adam drank the coffee, his eye expressions being indifferent.

Amelie's gaze flitted across Adam's face without leaving a trace. Her red lips trembled slightly and she continued, "Also, don't you remember the pond at the end of the residential area? When we were children we often went there for fishing. I was foolish and often couldn't catch any fish. I was so anxious that I cried. Then you gave the fish you caught to me!

When we grew up, we carried out missions together and experienced life-and-death situations more than once. During the years when I was abroad, I often felt that I really cherished all the times we spent together..."

"Amelie." Adam interrupted her memories.

Amelie was pulled back from her memories, and she looked at him in confusion.

When his dark eyes met hers, she felt her heart quiver for no reason.

Adam squinted at Amelie, and his cold eyes seemed to penetrate her heart. "There is something that I don't need to say directly. But I think you are a smart girl and I believe you will understand it yourself." Amelie's body instantly stiffened. The smile on her face was now like a mirror dotted with cracks.

"Adam, what do you want to say?" She tried to keep calm and at the same time looked at him, pretending to be puzzled.

Adam narrowed his eyes and seemed to lose some patience.

He frowned and said in a deep and firm voice, "Amelie, although we grew up together, and we are both friends and comrades-in-arms. I appreciate your abilities very much, but at best I only treat you like a good neighbour, an ordinary friend. I don't have any further intention of you in our relationship. Whether in the past, now, or in the future, I will definitely not want you to become my girlfriend."
