Hearing this, Adam turned to her and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"
Anthea was embarrassed by his question. He must know what she was asking. Her eyes were full of bashfulness and her heart was beating fast, "That night, you came to save me. Later, when I was in the car, I was drugged, and then, then..."
How could a girl speak out about something like this!
However, seeing him silently staring at her, Anthea blushed and said in a low voice, "You kissed me..."
"You misremembered." Adam said calmly.
What?
Anthea jerked her head up and looked at him blankly.
Jeep stopped under a street lamp. Under the orange light, she could finally see his face clearly.
Although he was expressionless, the lines on his face showed his handsomeness and the charm of a mature man. His eyes were as dark as the deep sea in winter night. There was no warmth or emotional fluctuation.
Anthea started to panic.
Her head was in a mess, and her pupils dilated, "How come? I clearly remember that you rescued me and took me away from the hotel. I felt uncomfortable on the way, and then the drug worked! I remember that you kissed me!"
A glimmer of light flashed in Adam's eyes. His eyes moved slightly, and then quickly went back to normal.
He said in a low voice, "You weren't aware of what was happening at that time and misremembered."
Anthea was stunned.
It was like a head-on blow. She looked at him in disbelief.
She felt the emptiness in her heart.
But the image was still engraved in her mind. He clasped the back of her head with his palm and kissed her with his warm tongue. It was so real!
Could it be her illusion?
No, it can't be.
When she woke up in the hospital, there was even a small wound the corner of her mouth!
The blush on Anthea's face faded away. She gritted her teeth and wanted to argue, "I won't remember it wrong, I..."
This time, before she could finish, Adam's deep voice interrupted her. "Anthea, I've said that you misremembered. I just sent you to the military hospital. I didn't do anything to you. You are applying for colleges. You should focus on study."
"It's getting late. Get out of the car and go back to rest." He slightly lifted his chin and motioned her to leave.
Anthea clutched the seat belt tightly, "But Uncle Adam, I..."
Adam thundered in a low voice, "Get out of the car!"
Anthea was intimidated and subconsciously shrank her shoulders. Looking at the cold and hard profile looking at the front, she pushed the door open and then slowly stood on the ground.
Before she could turn around, the Jeep had gone away.
Anthea stared blankly at the Jeep disappearing into the darkness of night, lost in thought.
"Anthea, staring at your lover again?"
A hippy voice came. Leonardo Schain came to her from the opposite of the road all of a sudden. He must have just finished playing video games in the internet bar and was in high spirits.
Anthea put the admission ticket and the pens into her pocket and walked out with the setting sun above her head. She kicked the little stones on the ground. She felt tired and spiritless.
Two of her roommates happened to be assigned to the same exam room with her.
At this time, everyone came out after the exam.
Holly Wurl and Alexandria Shieh caught up with her from behind, "Anthea, how was it?" "Normal." Anthea said weakly. She didn't know whether it was because she was tired of the exam or she was in a bad mood.
Seeing this, Alexandria couldn't help asking, "Then why are you so listless? I thought you've failed the exam! You're a genius student, don't worry at all. On the contrary, I'm the one who's to worry about the results!"
"Oh, don't think about that. We've finished all the examinations. Don't think about anything now. Just enjoy yourself!" Holly cut in, "By the way, every year after the exam, we would hold a party as we are going to universities all over the country. It could also be counted as a graduation ceremony and we all want to have fun!"
"But I heard that we don't have to go dutch this time. Shelby Jiles of Class One has paid for it all! Her family owns a villa near the river in her house and the villa has been idle all the time. She has invited everyone to come over. Well, the rich could do as they want. I have never been to a villa since I was born!"
"That's nice! I also want to go. We could ask Rosie to go with us. Let's have some fun!" Alexandria was very interested.
They also invited Anthea, "Anthea, let's go together!"
Anthea was mind wandering, so she didn't listen very carefully to what they were talking about. She just echoed and nodded. "Alright..."
On the night of the party, Leonardo asked the chauffeur to drive classmates in Anthea's dorm over.
The time of the party was set at 19:30, and the sky was just about to turn dark.
Many students had arrived early. When they entered, there were people everywhere in the yard. They didn't wear school uniforms but were all well dressed up. Girls changed into beautiful skirts and put on make-ups.
A long table was placed in the yard, and the servants carrying the plates shuttled in and out.
Although there was a little gap from the banquet of the upper class, it still looked luxurious. The whole night seemed to be livened up.
