Chapter 1245
The ashtray was made of marble, very thick. Usually, the servants had to lift it with their both hands when they cleaned it.
There was a heavy muffled sound. Upon hearing the sound, one could imagine how painful being hit by it was.
The bones in his shoulder seemed to have been smashed.
"Honey!" Meadow shouted and ran over worriedly.
Adam straightened his back, just like when he was scolded by his father in the study when he was a child. He stood straight with his hands on both sides like a white poplar standing on the ground. The ashtray fell from his shoulder and made a sound. He didn't even frown.
"Sorry, dad."
He had carefully considered Bellamy's words.
Adam was mentally prepared to bear the consequences, which was why he had wooed her in the disaster area.
Adam's eyes were deep and determined. Even her thick eyebrows looked particularly persistent. "Even if the sky collapses, I will still be with her."
The car in the yard drove away.
Bellamy felt a pain in his chest, nearly causing him to lose his balance.
"Honey, don't be so angry, or you'll get sick!" Meadow hurried over to support Bellamy. "No
one has expected things to be like this. You won't be able to solve the problem even if you're angry.
Perhaps, Adam also has his own difficulties..."
Hearing his wife's words, Bellamy flew into a rage. "Bullshit! This unfilial son is just having an evil intention and playing tricks with us! When he brought her home, he deliberately kept it a secret!" "When we agree to treat that little girl as our future daughter-in-law, then he will uncover her real identity. If they have a marriage certificate at that time, it will be too late. He must have this idea! Bastard!" Meadow was surprised. "You have already admitted that Anthea is your daughter-in-law?"
Bellamy was so angry that he nearly collapsed. "Is that the main point?"
Meadow kept quiet out of fear.
Two seconds later, she hesitated and whispered, "I think Adam really likes that little girl..." "No matter how much he likes, they can't be together! Could they be together with their identities? Are you going to watch our eldest son fall from grace? We must separate them!" Bellamy threw two teacups and said majestically, T m warning you! This time, don't be so kind!"
"I..." Meadow opened her mouth but didn't dare to say anything.
She did not expect that Anthea would have a relationship with the Hsu family. She really thought that she had a chance to have a grandson...
What the hell was this!
Meadow wiped the tears from her eyes silently and followed her husband upstairs with a worried face.
It was getting dark, and there was only a little glow of the setting sun on the sky.
In a residential building of an old-fashioned community in the town.
After her biological parents died in a car accident, she was taken to her adoptive parents' house and grew up here. Unlike people in a fast-paced city, her neighbors here were very warm and friendly. Anthea had been staying at home for two nights.
Maybe because she had stayed in the countryside for a while, Mrs. Lee felt a little uncomfortable. Anthea asked Leonardo to help her ask for a leave. She planned to stay for a few more days and wanted to accompany her mother to the hospital for a physical examination in person so that her mother would not take it lightly.
After dinner, the family sat around the TV.
Seeing her daughter picking up her mobile phone from time to time, Mrs. Lee laughed and joked, "Anthea, don't stay with us here. Go back to your room and talk with your boyfriend on the phone!"
"Mom..." Anthea blushed.
"You're still shy!" Mrs. Lee smiled more brightly. "When there is a chance, bring your boyfriend home and let us have a look!"
"Yes, let us have a look!" Mr. Lee echoed.
Adam had seriously mentioned that he would find a chance to visit her adoptive parents in the future. Anthea nodded shyly and said, "Yes, I will!"
She ran back to the room with her mobile phone.
Lying on the bed where she had slept for more than ten years, Anthea couldn't wait to call him.
When she returned to the town, she seldom called Adam in order not to disturb him, because he had gone go to the capital for a meeting. Most of times, they would send messages to each other. In the afternoon, she had received the news of his return. Anthea missed his deep voice very much.
As soon as she found his number, she received his
call first.
They really had the same idea!
Anthea answered excitedly. "Hello?"
On the phone, Adam said in a deep voice, "Anthea, go downstairs in half an hour."
"Yes!" Anthea agreed obediently.
Then, the phone was hung up.
Anthea blinked and did not understand what he meant for a long time.
She looked at the bedroom where she spent her childhood and realized that she was in the town at this time, not the school or military family building. Did he also come to the town?
Anthea was confused.
Half an hour later, she got up from the bed and ran to the window. She really saw the army green jeep that had just driven downstairs with a military licence plate hanging on it. He really came!
Anthea was surprised and excited. She grabbed a coat and rushed out.
Anthea ran downstairs in one breath. Adam, who was dressed in a military uniform, was leaning against the car door with a cigarette in his hand under the street lamp, wisps of light smoke floating in the air.
His handsome facial features were deep in shadow, giving him a special charm. Surprised, Anthea threw herself into his arms. "Adam, what brings you here?"
"Get in the car first." Adam smiled.
He opened the co-pilot's door, let her in, and then walked to the other side.
After the car door closed, the two of them were in a narrow enclosed space.
Anthea had changed into pajamas with a cartoon rabbit on its chest, which made her look particularly young and charming. "Didn't I say that I would go back at noon after my mom's examination tomorrow morning? Alas, do you miss me so much?"
She showed a faint smile on her face and teasing eyes.
Adam pinched her nose dotingly and said, "Anthea, I'll go back to the army later."
"What?" Anthea was stunned. "Why so fast? Isn't there still five or six days left for the holiday?
Won't you go back next week?"
"I have a temporary mission." Adam frowned.
"So suddenly?" Anthea hadn't reacted yet.
Adam nodded and said in a serious voice, "I just received the notice in the evening. This mission is very urgent. The Military Committee told me directly. Both Carter and I will go back. I can only stay here for about half an hour, and then I must go back!"
The nature of soldiers was to obey orders. If there was a mission, they must obey unconditionally at anytime.
He could have called her.
But he was afraid that she would be unhappy if she didn't see him, so he still made time to drive over.
Anthea knew that it was confidential in military affairs, so she couldn't ask too much. She could only lie in his arms silently. When her little hand touched his shoulder, she obviously felt that his body was slightly stiff. She asked hurriedly, "What's wrong with you?"
