Adam narrowed his eyes.
The girl in front of him had bright eyes and beautiful eyebrows, with a very youthful ponytail. Her facial features were exquisite and beautiful. Her baby fat face was clean and without any makeup, which was completely different from the heavy makeup in the bar that night. But from the moment she entered the restaurant, he still recognized her at a glance.
In front of Master Hsu, she was as well-behaved as a little kitten.
But Adam did not forget her fierce appearance when she wielded the wine bottle with all her might. She was completely like a wild cat brandishing its claws. He felt a little interested in her.
Anthea's pupils flickered, and she stuttered. "Uncle, I..."
She had been nervous all the time. His black eyes were too deep. When they fell on her face, they seemed to be able to poke through the mask and see the most real soul in her body.
She was waiting here because she wanted to explain and apologize to him. After all, she was the one who did the wrong thing.
Seeing that he had just walked past, she didn't think too much in a hurry.
"What do you want to do?" Adam asked her in a deep voice.
Following the gaze of his eyes, Anthea found that her behavior was so inappropriate. Her face became hot, and she quickly withdrew her hand. She was so embarrassed.
At this time, the sound of the door opening suddenly came from behind them. Master Hsu came out from the inside and was obviously stunned after seeing the two of them. Then his eyes fell on her face and he asked unexpectedly, "Anthea, you haven't left yet?"
Anthea explained awkwardly, "Well, grandpa, I'm going to leave!"
Master Hsu did not suspect her. He had wanted the chauffeur to send her back just now. When he saw that she had not left, he said: "Adam, I need to trouble you with something. Please help me
send Anthea back to school. I am a little worried if she goes back on her own!"
"Grandpa, there's no need. I..." Anthea shook her head at once.
Adam's indifferent voice came. "Alright."
Coming out of the villa, Anthea followed him slowly like a little chick. There were many cars parked in the yard, but the jeep, which was green with military tag, was the most conspicuous.
He was so tall that blocked the evening sun.
In Anthea's line of sight, there were only his broad shoulders. With such height, others would have an impulse to hug him...
She was startled.
Damn it!
"I don't know what's wrong with me. How could I have such an idea!"
Adam pulled open the door of the driver's seat and urged in a low voice, "Get in the car!"
When Anthea heard this, she trotted forward and got into the co-pilot seat as fast as she could. She put her knees together and sat upright, trying her best to lower the sense of her presence.
Adam started the engine of the car, but he didn't leave for a long time.
Anthea's back was stiff. She felt her breath become slower and finally couldn't bear the pressure, especially when she felt the sight of him from the side. She turned her head and asked awkwardly,"... uncle, what's wrong?" "Your seat belt," Adam reminded her.
"Oh!" Anthea quickly tied it in embarrassment.
The jeep drove along the private road into a crowded street. When they met the red signal, he slowed down and stopped at the intersection. There were pedestrians passing by the zebra line ahead.
It was very quiet inside the car. There was no music or radio. Adam turned on the lighter and lit a cigarette.
Adam didn't seem to expect that she would suddenly start to sob as she spoke. Most of the soldiers he usually faced were male. He didn't know how to deal with her. He frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "Forget it."
Anthea was delighted and immediately said with a smile, "Uncle, you're so nice!"
Looking at the girl's tearful eyes for a second and smiling again in the next second, Adam's dark pupils shrank. Suddenly, he felt that he was deceived.
It's just that little white face, slightly upturned pink lips, and two slight dimples were exposed, especially those eyes, which were as bright as the stars, and he is unconsciously a little lost.
After this matter could be turned over, Anthea also relaxed a lot. She smiled and said, "Uncle, we can be called no discord, no concord!"
Adam gave her a look, saying nothing.
Anthea scratched her head and saw the badge on his shoulder.
Two chevrons, one star...
She silently calculated that he should be a Major. She didn't expect him to have such a high rank at such a young age!
Anthea rolled her eyes and flattered him. "In fact, I know you must be a good person at first glance. You can never do something so immoral as bullying girls! Uncle, why did you go to the bar that night?"
"I have a mission," Adam answered.
"What's the mission?" Anthea was curious and asked.
Adam glanced at her and said, "Military secrets."
"..." Anthea twitched her mouth.
