Chapter 1220
The corners of Emerson's lips rose slightly, and he laughed like a playboy. "Okay, I will temporarily not fix my eyes on her."
Then, he took out a box of cigarettes from his trouser pocket.
He picked up one and passed it to Adam, but the latter didn't take it.
Adam's pupils suddenly contracted.
"What did you mean by 'temporarily'?" He thought angrily.
Adam's black eyes glanced at Emerson, as sharp as a blade. He warned in a low voice, "Don't think about it also in the future. I'm the master of my house."
Emerson put the cigarette into his mouth. After lit it with the lighter, he leisurely spat out a mouthful of smoke and deliberately provoked, "Who can predict what will happen in the future? Adam, what if she doesn't like you anymore a year or two years later? She is still so young now, and the future is changeable. Who knows when she will change her mind?"
Adam didn't get angry. Instead, he laughed in a low voice. "Haw-haw."
Adam was so calm that he didn't seem to be affected by Emerson's words at all. He seemed to be quite sure of Anthea's loyalty.
Emerson couldn't help but think of the white and tender skin exposed after Anthea's collar was unbuttoned. That part of her body was covered with ambiguous red marks...
At this, Emerson felt annoyed and suffocated.
He flicked the cigarette ash vigorously and realized why Adam was so confident in front of him just now. He sneered and added, "There is a saying, 'even if you get a woman's body, you may not be able to win her heart!' Do you understand what I mean?"
Adam glanced at him calmly.
Without being angry, he replied casually, "Anthea is coming back soon. You should put out your cigarette. We're getting ready for pregnancy."
"..." Emerson's face darkened.
Second kill by one single sentence!
Emerson felt suffocated again because of his unvented anger.
After washing and drying her hands, Anthea walked back directly. She was slightly worried about Adam and Emerson being together without her existence.
Seeing that the two men were still sitting in their seats, just like when she left, Anthea was slightly
relieved.
After sitting down again, Anthea felt that the atmosphere was not quite normal. The whole expression of Emerson, who was sitting next to her, was especially strange. He was smoking a cigarette. When the smoke was blown out, his tongue seemed to be stuck on his cheek, and his jaw was bulged out. It looked as if he was a little annoyed.
She leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Adam, is Young Master Chiang all right?"
"He's fine." Adam's lips curled slightly.
Anthea nodded and didn't think much of it again.
By the time they finished the barbecue, the sun was already setting in the west. In the evening, darkness fell early in winter in the north. It was already dim outside of the window at this moment. One of the assistants, who had been waiting in the distance, looked at his watch, and then opened the French windows on the top floor.
At the moment when the window was opened, a bunch of fireworks suddenly broke out in the sky.
"Peng..."
The loud sound echoed for a long time.
After that, beams of light jumped up to the night sky, and then these fireworks bloomed one after another, almost lighting up the entire sky.
At first, Anthea was shocked. Then, she realized that Emerson's assistants were playing fireworks. She happily pulled Adam to the window to have a look.
Emerson put out the cigarette in his hand and followed the two of them.
"Oh, my God... It's so beautiful!" Anthea whispered.
"Do you like fireworks?" Adam's eye expressions were meaningful.
"Of course!" Anthea nodded with a smile and hugged his arm excitedly. "Adam, look over there. It looks like a rose. It's so romantic! This is the first time for us to watch fireworks. I'm so delighted!" Emerson, who was standing next to them, was speechless.
He was the very person who prepared the fireworks!
As previously arranged, an assistant carried a box of firework rods in front of them.
These firework rods could be held in their hands, and each of them was long. As the brilliant fireworks rose one after another in the night sky, Anthea fetched several of the firework rods and asked Adam to set off them with her.
After the firework rods were ignited, they emitted silvery sparks.
For a time being, the firework rods were sparkling in their hands, under the background of other fireworks blooming in the night sky.
Anthea was holding firework rods on both hands. She was shaking the sparkling rods. Her palm-sized face was shining with excitement in the silver sparks.
Adam urged her worriedly, "Be careful, Anthea. Don't burn yourself."
"Uh-huh!" Anthea nodded and gazed at him through the firelight. She then smiled and added, "Adam, look... This is my silver flower! Do you know why I am so happy now?"
"Why?" Adam raised his eyebrows.
Anthea revealed two small dimples. "Because you're with me!"
Adam hooked Anthea into his long arms, and then kissed her forehead, as if no one else was around.
Emerson was annoyed and didn't know what to say.
The firework rods were also prepared by him!
He took out a cigarette again and lit it, spitting out a mouthful of smoke.
It was not a big deal that Anthea brought Adam with her as her family member. However, it was very annoying for Emerson to feel that he turned out to be the very person watching the date of Anthea and Adam in a resort owned by him.
Emerson felt as if he was a lonely dog that had been maltreated by Anthea and Adam!
The date, which was terrible for Emerson, finally ended.
Anthea returned to the locker room on the first floor to change her clothes. She purposefully did it very fast. When she came out wearing her down coat, she saw that Emerson was sitting on the sofa in a cross legged manner. She quickly ran over to him.
When Emerson saw her, he stood up with his hands in his pockets.
Anthea reminded him anxiously, "Young Master Chiang, don't forget what you had promised me!"
After all, she had brought Adam here. The two-person date finally became a three-person date. For this reason, she was somewhat uncertain. She was afraid that Emerson would go back on his word if he was unhappy about it!
"Hum..." Emerson replied perfunctorily.
Anthea frowned and emphasized, "Young Master Chiang, a promise made by a real man is worth a thousand ounces of gold!"
As Emerson was stared at by Anthea firmly, he had no choice but to told her helplessly, "I know it... I know it! I will always keep my words. I'll keep the love affair between you and Adam a secret! But if others know it in the future, there's nothing I can do about it. This can not be hidden forever!"
Anthea pursed her lips and said nothing else.
Emerson raised his hand and touched his own chin. "Little girl, tell me the truth. Did he force you?"
Anthea's mouth twitched. "Of course not!"
Emerson frowned and looked very puzzled.
There were so many men in the world. Anthea was still so young and as beautiful as a flower. Adam was not only older than her, but also was her unclein-law. If she willingly chose to be with him, she would be like a moth flying to a flame!
Or... Did young girls like such a stimulating relationship nowadays?
Emerson asked her, "Little girl, tell me. What on earth do you like this Hell-king?"
Hearing this, Anthea grinned and said sweetly, "I like everything of him, including his nickname, Hell-king Chin!"
Emerson immediately felt that Anthea had no taste at all.
Then, he frowned and said, "Anthea, I feel we are so destined to meet each other. I'll keep your secret for you. We are good friends now! I am much older than you. Don't call me Young Master Chiang in the future!"
"What should I call you, then?" Anthea was confused.
She thought that Emerson might want her to call him "Brother Emerson", but the answer she heard turned out to be, "You can call me Uncle Chiang, okay?"
Anthea felt as if her head was struck heavily by a brick.
