Chapter 1319
After returning to the jeep, Adam asked Anthea in a low voice, "Did Jayden Hsu trouble you again?"
"Yes!" Anthea nodded.
Adam's face changed instantly, and it was as if a storm was brewing between his eyebrows. "Did you get hurt?"
"No!" Anthea shook her head.
Adam was still worried about her. He reached out his big hand, lifted her little face, and checked her whole body. If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't move freely inside the jeep, he would require her to take
a turn.
Adam had not forgotten the conflict that had happened the last time Anthea visited the Hsu family.
Seeing the deep furrow between his eyebrows, Anthea felt warm and sweet in her heart. She smiled and added, "Don't worry! Jayden could only bark outside the jeep like a mad dog. I had locked the door, and he couldn't do anything to me!"
Hearing this, Adam's face softened a little.
After the jeep drove away from the private road, Anthea clutched the seat belt with both hands. Her eyelashes were drooping as if she was thinking about something.
Adam was concerned. "Anthea, what's wrong?"
Anthea told him what Jayden had said. She then frowned. "I don't think my little uncle was lying. After all, Madam Jiles was dead, and the murder case had been settled. There was no need for him to lie to me! But...
When I was kidnapped that afternoon, I clearly remembered that the two gangsters said that the person who hired them wanted my life!"
Adam's face darkened.
Jayden said that Madam Jiles kidnapped Anthea simply because she wanted to prevent the latter from inheriting the properties and wealth. But after the two gangsters kidnapped her, they made it clear that they wanted her life! And they also set a fire.
If Adam didn't go there at that time, Anthea would have been killed!
If what Jayden said was true, Madam Jiles didn't have the intention to kill Anthea, like what she had done to Master Hsu, that just wanted Anthea to disappear for a few days, then who would want Anthea to be killed?
Anthea couldn't help but recall the hysterical expression on Madame Jiles' face before she
fainted...
She then pursed her lips in silence.
Madam Jiles had already passed away. Now the only one who knew the truth was the criminal named Linzell.
The next evening, at the police station...
The sky was dark and beautiful. The sunset glow was reflected in the horizon like an abstract painting of impressionism.
Anthea walked out of the police station slowly. The setting sun was shining on her face, and her eyebrows had been wrinkled like ripples.
She clutched the bag in front of her body and looked a little discouraged.
"Pah..."
Anthea looked up and saw that a green military jeep was driving over from the roadside.
After Adam stopped the jeep, his tall and strong figure jumped down from the driver's seat, with a cigarette in his fingers. His handsome features were against the sunshine.
Anthea went forward in small steps and smiled in surprise. "Adam, how did you know I'm here?"
She had sent him a message saying that he did not have to pick her up this evening. He could just go
home on his own.
In fact, after leaving the hospital after work, Anthea went to the police station.
Adam rubbed her head with his palm.
He knew her so well that he could guess where she had gone.
It was so romantic to have mutual affinity in their hearts. Anthea revealed two small dimples and smiled sweetly.
After getting on the jeep, she leaned on his arm like a kitten. His arm was strong and full of the feeling of masculinity.
Adam rubbed her cheeks with his finger pulps. "Did you get anything from the police?"
Anthea sighed and shook her head.
She asked the police and read all the interrogation records. Madam Jiles had hired Linzell and others twice, respectively in six years ago and this year. All the proofs were conclusive, and no trace of others involving could be found!
Adam said, "Don't think to much about it."
Anthea nodded. "Okay!"
It was indeed no use thinking too much. The case had already been registered, and the punishment of the criminals had also been determined.
They didn't go home immediately. They had their dinner at a restaurant.
It was the restaurant possessed by Adam. After the reunition of the two of them, they had not dated with each other formally yet.
After entering the restaurant, they went to a special apartment for VIP guests.
As the evening lights gradually lit up, the shadows of Anthea and Adam were reflected on the glass window, while the corners of their mouths were raised because of a good mood. The atmosphere of the apartment became more and more romantic.
Anthea took a bite of the delicious and soft Ribs and Sticky Rice. Suddenly, she remembered that when she returned to her home country, she and one of her senior fellow students, Victor Zanon, went to this restaurant. Soon after the two of them sat down, Adam also came to the restaurant with several of his colleagues.
At that time, Adam was holding a wine glass in his hand all along, and he pretended to be drunk and kissed Anthea in the bathroom. Later, the date between Anthea and Victor was suddenly terminated by a fire alarm at the restaurant.
Anthea looked at his handsome face and narrowed her eyes cunningly. "Adam, did you plot the fire alarm when Victor Zanon and I had dinner together here
last time?"
Adam coughed and said, "Really? I don't remember what happened back then."
"Oh!" Anthea smacked her lips and mischievously said, "If it's simply an accident, Senior Brother Victor will go back from abroad sometime later. Then, I'll invite him to have dinner again here!"
"I don't agree!" Adam frowned and an expression of being unnatural flashed in his eyes. Then, he added awkwardly, "I remember it again. The fire alarm was plotted by me."
Anthea could not hold back her laughters anymore.
Being laughed at by Anthea, Adam had no choice but to pinch her nose.
The restaurant was located by the river. After eating their dinner, the two of them went out and walked along the river.
At this time of the day, walking by the river was very comfortable. The cool breeze blew on their faces freely. Many lovers were walking here hand in hand.
Not far away, there were two lovers. The boyfriend was carrying his girlfriend on his back, while the latter was smiling very brightly.
Anthea rolled her eyes up and felt very envious of them. She pretended to pat her stomach. "Oh, I'm so full. I can't walk anymore!"
Adam laughed and saw through her little tricks at a glance.
He turned his back and said, "Come on."
Anthea also laughed, and she climbed up onto his back.
It was a rare instance for Adam not to wear his military uniform today. He was wearing a white shirt and a pair of black casual pants. However, he was still wearing his military boots. Anthea didn't hesitate at all. Her hands and legs were clinging tightly to him.
She liked to let Adam carry her on his back, which was broad and comfortable.
Anthea's lips pressed against a side of his cheek, and her sweet voice crept into his ears. "Adam Chin, will you carry me throughout your life?"
"Yes, I will." Adam smiled.
"You're so nice!" Anthea exclaimed happily.
The girl's breath was lingering around Adam's ears, and his chest was thus full of energy. A faint smile formed in his thin lips, which made him look particularly masculine and gentle at the same time. Anthea's lips got closer to his ear and whispered, "When you become an old man, I'll carry you with a wheelchair!"
Adam didn't know what to say.
Anthea was really happy at this moment. This feeling was similar to what she felt six years ago when Adam carried her up to the mountain to watch the meteor shower together.
One of her arms was wrapped around his neck, while the other hand was raised high. Her head kept rubbing his neck.
At this time, a black car drove over along the side of the road, and its headlights were on.
It had a military licence plate!
The car drove past them. As the window of the back seat was lowered, Bellamy Chin's stern face could be seen by the two of them.
Anthea's breath trembled, and she immediately slipped down from Adam's back.
She bit her lips lightly and asked in a panic, "Adam, what should I do now?"
Adam replied calmly, "Don't be afraid."
