Chapter 1214
Looking at the back of Emerson, Anthea's little face looked very serious.
The wrinkles between Adam's eyebrows were also very deep.
After Master Hsu introduced Anthea as his granddaughter in public at the party, Adam saw that the little girl was worried, and that's why he asked her out.
When he saw that her little face was upset, Adam's heart ached. He just wanted to comfort her and shelter her from the wind and rain. For a moment, the two of them ignored the surrounding environment and failed to notice that a man was lurking nearby.
Although Adam was a military officer with natural vigilance, Emerson also had had good performance in the army. Even if Emerson was retired now, his capabilities were still there!
In comparison to Adam's calmness, Anthea was very anxious. "Adam, what should I do now? He had seen us!"
She didn't forget the fact that Adam and Emerson were deadly foes!
Master Hsu had told her about the hostility between them. When two foes meet each other, the hatred between them would gain over human reasoning. If Emerson wanted to take revenge on Adam, he could report to the army what had happened between Adam and his niece-in-law. The consequences would be unimaginable!
After all, most people would not miss such a golden opportunity.
Adam frowned and seemed to realize the same tricky problem.
Anthea stamped her feet anxiously.
She was gritting her teeth. At present, she couldn't figured out a proper solution, and could only try her best. "I'll talk to him!"
Anthea ran out of the storage room.
When Adam wanted to stop her, she had already run far away.
When Anthea caught up with Emerson from behind, she said,
"Young Master Chiang!"
Emerson walked slowly as if he knew that Anthea would come after him.
He turned around and teased, "Little girl, you're so bold!"
Anthea pursed her lips and said nothing. She was still thinking about countermeasures.
Emerson's eyes were fixed on Anthea's palm-sized face. It was delicate and beautiful, with some feeling of baby fat. She was so close to him that he really wanted to reach out and pinch her lovely face. When his eyes fell on her soft and pink lips, his pupils shrank.
In fact, when Anthea left the villa and went to the backyard, Emerson stealthily followed her.
All the way along, Anthea was followed by Emerson, who hadn't expected to see the intimate scene between Adam and her. Emerson was shocked immediately, yet he stayed there and heard the conversation between them completely. Even when the two of them were kissing each other, Emerson didn't go away.
Anthea's pink lips were now like blooming peach petals, and the traces of her having been kissed by Adam were obvious.
Emerson narrowed his eyes. "Little girl, I haven't expected your boyfriend to be Adam Chin."
When Anthea told him at the party that she had a boyfriend, Emerson actually didn't believe it. He thought that it was simply an excuse of her. Unexpectedly...
Anthea gasped when she heard Emerson's sarcastic words.
She looked around vigilantly and asked with a frown, "Young Master Chiang, can you do me a favor?"
Emerson raised his eyebrows and saw through her mind immediately. "You want me to pretend I didn't see anything and don't tell anyone else?"
"Yes!" Anthea nodded and asked uncertainly, "Can you do it for me?"
She was actually not sure whether Emerson would do her this favor.
She was just worried that Emerson would retaliate against Adam on purpose. That's why she tried to catch up with him and stopped him. She wanted to negotiate with him, or even beg him to do so. Anthea's brain was running fast at the same time. She was reflecting upon a plan: If Emerson refused to keep it a secret, they could only take the hard measures if the soft ones didn't work!
For example, she might ask Adam to tie Emerson up with a sack and ropes, and then gave him a sound thrashing in order to force him to keep it a secret!
"Okay." Emerson replied.
Anthea was stunned and couldn't believe it. "Are you telling the truth?"
Emerson nodded happily, but he suddenly added,
"Well... I have a requirement."
Sure enough... There's no such thing as a free lunch.
Anthea asked tentatively,"... What is the requirement?"
Emerson put his hands into his pockets and said slowly, "You must promise to accompany me for a whole day."
"..." Anthea's face froze.
Emerson noticed the caution in her eyes. He laughed and joked, "Don't worry, little girl. I won't do anything harmful to you. I also don't have any interest in your beauty... Do I look like a lecherous man?" Anthea didn't say anything, but the look in her eyes explained everything... "You do!"
Apart from this evening's meeting, Anthea and Emerson had met three times before. Every time, he was accompanied by a woman who was "lucky" enough to be with this lecherous man. Anthea didn't forget the embarrassing scene in the bathroom! Emerson and his woman were...
Emerson seemed a little upset by Anthea's words. He sighed helplessly. "Well... You won! I just want you to date with me for a day to regain some psychological balance. You refused my invitation to the concert. It was the first time that I was refused by a woman... No, by a little girl! What a shame!"
Anthea looked over his face, trying to confirm the credibility of his words.
Seeing that Emerson's expression was sincere, she was a little shaken. "Young Master Chiang, if I date with you, will you really promise not to tell others?" "Yes, I promise!" Emerson nodded.
Although he was not a gentleman, he was still the president of his company. As a business leader, he would not go back on his words if he promised.
Anthea quickly reflected upon the pros and cons.
It was just a day, and she would not suffer any losses. This deal seemed to be very cost-effective! She just needed to date with Emerson, and then Emerson would keep what he had seen and overheard a secret.
Anthea finally nodded. "Okay! It's a deal!"
Emerson stored her mobile phone number and then left the villa.
Anthea heaved a sigh of relief.
She and Adam returned to the party one after another, and she secretly gave him an "OK" gesture when no one else was in sight.
At the end of the party, the guests left one after another.
Just like what they did before, Adam drove away first and then waited for Anthea at the crossroads. After that, they drove home.
As soon as Anthea got in the jeep, she reported to Adam, "Young Master Chiang promised me that he will not tell anyone else!" "Has he become such a kind person?" Adam glanced at her.
"Hmm..." Anthea stuttered.
She didn't want to hide anything from Adam and told him about her conversation with Emerson roughly.
Adam's face suddenly darkened. "Anthea!"
The beautiful neon lights outside the jeep passed over rapidly. Adam's handsome face now appeared to be covered with dark clouds, and Anthea felt as if the temperature inside the jeep had dropped several degrees.
Anthea got closer to Adam ingratiatingly and tugged her long hair. "Oh... I can't find a better solution, can I? Besides, the request he made was still acceptable. He will just cost me a day. He said he will then keep this matter a secret. In this way, our problem is perfectly solved!"
Adam let out a cold snort from his nose.
Along the way, Anthea kept comforting him.
After a long while, Adam still had a poker face on. She poked his arm and said, "Adam, why are you still
unhappy now?"
Adam looked ahead and responded nothing to her.
Anthea's eyes rolled up, and her smile became a little shy. "Then, let me tell you something happy, okay?"
Adam seemed not to be curious at all.
Anthea put her chin on his shoulder and breathed out tenderly. His Adam's apple was blown comfortably by Anthea's breath, "Tomorrow, my menstruation will be gone. We can sleep together tomorrow night!" Adam's face suddenly was no longer gloomy."..." He was still speechless, yet he coughed because of excitement.
He almost couldn't hold the steering wheel in his hand firmly.
