Chapter 1243
Anthea nodded. "Well, don't worry. It's only about two hours by train. It won't take long!"
Her adoptive parents in the town had just returned from the countryside a few days ago.
She didn't spend the Lunar New Year with them. She had not seen them for such a long time, so she was very concerned about them.
On this weekend, she wanted to go back to the town to spend time with her parents.
Adam looked at the sunset clouds outside and reminded worriedly, "It'll almost be dark when you arrive. Ask your father to pick you up. Don't take a taxi yourself, okay?"
He acted like a worried mom.
It was as if the one who was going to leave was not his girlfriend, but his daughter.
Anthea nodded obediently no matter what he said and didn't mind his nagging at all.
Seeing the love in his eyes, Anthea felt sweeter in her heart and urged him with a smile, "Adam, you are going to attend the meeting in another city. Don't miss the flight! I will be at the security checkpoint soon. You should go to the airport!"
They had already talked about meeting each other's parents formally.
However, Adam had a military exchange meeting. The leader selected him to go to the capital. The flight left at nine o'clock that night. After class, they came to the train station after dinner.
After sending her off, Adam would to the airport to meet Carter.
He said, "Yes. I'll watch you go in."
It was Anthea's turn to pass the security checkpoint and she had her bag checked. After passing, she could still see him when she looked back.
Realizing that no one was paying attention to her, she threw him a kiss.
Seeing that, Adam smiled.
It was not until the electronic screen showed that the train Anthea took had left the station that Adam left with his hands in his pockets. The next day, a military area.
At the door, the sentry was holding a gun in a military posture, and the sign next to him wrote, "The sentry is sacred and inviolable".
At about 10 o'clock in the morning, a military vehicle drove back to the military area.
After the car stopped in front of the building,
Bellamy, dressed in a military uniform, got out of the car. Although he was over fifty-five years old, he was graceful and dignified. His years of military life made him look tall, straight and still young, eyes full of wisdom.
He took off his military cap and strode upstairs.
Bellamy had commanded a large-scale military performance for a week. At this moment, he had just returned from the base.
As soon as he went to the third floor, an orderly ran out after hearing the sound. "Commander Chin!"
After saluting, the orderly was about to say something when Bellamy raised his hand and interrupted him. "There's an emergency meeting at the moment. Let's talk about it later if there's anything!" "Yes!" The orderly stood upright.
Bellamy didn't say anything else and entered the conference room.
Many military leaders were there, and the meeting was nervously going on.
As time went by, the sunshine outside gradually went down, leaving a rose color in the distant sky.
The meeting was not over until it was at dusk.
The meeting was about military affairs, so no one rested. At noon, the orderly took food from the canteen and sent it in. It was not until six o'clock in the evening that the door of the conference room was pushed open.
Everyone's face was full of fatigue.
Bellamy walked at the back of the crowd. Beside him was an officer who was several years older than him. There were also three golden stars on his shoulderband, the same rank as Bellamy. The two of them were chatting cheerfully and cheerfully. It seemed that they were on good terms.
The elder general suddenly asked, "Old Chin, I heard that Adam has a girlfriend?"
Bellamy was taken aback. He pondered for a moment, but not answered.
Seeing this, the other party smiled and said, "What's there to hide from me? The news has already spread in his army! Soon after New Year's Day, a girl came to the army to visit him. I heard that the relationship between the two of them is very good, and they showed off their affection every day!"
Soon after New Year's Day? Wasn't it winter vacation?
Once they got a chance, they would cuddle together. Bellamy snorted in his heart.
"Useless!"
The elder general continued, "Although I haven't seen her with my own eyes, I've heard that she's beautiful and still young. She hasn't graduated from college yet. Old Chin, Adam is really something. He's so capable!"
They had been friends and comrade-in-arms for many years. Of course, this was a compliment from the bottom of heart.
Bellamy cleared his throat unnaturally. "Thank you. I' m flattered!"
She was indeed young and pretty.
Bellamy could not help but think of the situation at the last banquet. After being scolded by him, Anthea still insisted on giving Mr. Hank's youngest son first aid treatment. She knelt on the ground and looked serious, which made him look at her with new eyes.
Bellamy could tell that his son liked that girl. His eyes seemed to have stuck to her, and his soul was almost taken away by her. He felt ashamed of his son's obsession.
After that incident, Bellamy's prejudice against Anthea decreased significantly.
He intended to keep a wait-and-see attitude. He neither agreed nor disagreed.
"Adam has a girlfriend now. Your wife and you can rest assured! Once that girl graduates, they can get married. After another year or so, there will be a
baby in your family and you can be promoted to grandpa!" The elder general said with a smile, "I'm looking forward to my granddson sending my grandson over every weekend. When he holds my legs and calls me grandpa, my heart is melting!"
Bellamy raised his brows calmly.
Grandpa?
Listening to the other party's narration, he could even imagine that scene.
In the future, when he returned home, he would be greeted by a baby. Bellamy's mood stirred.
After heading down to the third floor and separating from the elder general, Bellamy walked towards his office.
When he was about to arrive, the orderly from the water room ran over. "Commander Chin, you finally finished your meeting. Captain Celestin is waiting for you in your office!"
"Amelie?" Bellamy was taken aback.
"Yes. She has been here since the morning. It seems that she has something important, so she hasn't left yet!" The orderly knew that the Chin Family and the Celestin family were on good terms, so he treated the Celestin family carefully.
Bellamy was very surprised when he heard that. He nodded and said, "I see. You may leave!"
He pushed open the office door and saw that the lights were on. Sure enough, someone was sitting on the sofa and waiting.
Hearing the voice, Amelie, who was also dressed in a military uniform, stood up immediately. "Uncle!"
A smile appeared on Bellamy's serious face as he extended his hand to signal, "Amelie, you've been waiting for a long time, haven't you? I just rushed back from the base this morning and had a temporary meeting. I just finished my work. Have a seat!"
Amelie sat down again, looking serious but also a little anxious.
She had wanted to see Bellamy last week, but he had gone to the base to command the military performance. When she got the news that he had returned, she immediately rushed over!
Seeing this, Bellamy quickly asked her as he opened the vacuum cup, "Hudson told me you came here in the morning. Have you been waiting all this while? Is there any important matter?" Amelia shook her head. She took a deep breath and said, narrowing her eyes, "Uncle, I'm here for a personal matter!"
