Purchased A Mr. Right -
Chapter 1007
On the second floor of the the Hsu family, in Master Hsu's room.
Anthea sat on a solid wood chair made of yellow pear next to her. The aroma of tea on the table in the middle curled up. She held the teacup in her hand and did not send it to her mouth for a long time. Her gaze fell on the floating tea leaves, absent-minded.
Her thought was still in the cemetery just now.
After she called out the "Uncle", he spat out a word after a long time.
Anthea calculated silently. He only said four words in total, and there was no sign of joy or anger on his serious face.
There were too many impossible coincidences in the world. He was not only the man in the bar that night, but also the unfortunate man with a late wife she mocked in her heart in the cemetery.
On the way back, Anthea had already pretended to ask something casually from Master Hsu. His name was Adam and he was 27 years old. He was a soldier in active duty, a special soldier. He stayed in the army all year round. No wonder he always had an air of iron-will and majesty.
It was no wonder that she didn't know him. She had almost never seen the so-called aunt, so she couldn't remember her appearance clearly. Don't mention the husband she married.
How could you be a soldier? Believe it or not, I'll go to the army and sue you...
Shameless, nasty...
Stinking soldier...
The image in the bar replayed in her mind. Thinking of the unbearable words she had said, Anthea felt extremely regretful at this moment.
What should I do?
Seeing that she looked down and did not move for a long time, Master Hsu thought that she had just returned from sweeping her father's tomb and was still immersed in sadness. He could not help sighing. "Anthea, are you... blaming Grandpa in your heart?"
At that time, as the eldest son, Hendrix wanted to start from the very beginning and ran to a surrounding town. When he came back, he said that he had a lover. Master Hsu disagreed because he had already chosen a daughter-in-law of a well-matched family. For the sake of the family's interests and his compelling, Hendrix agreed in the end.
Unexpectedly, six years later, Hendrix suddenly called him and said that he had a daughter who was six years old and was going to pick her up to live in Ice city.
But in the end, the bad news came.
Master Hsu always felt guilty in his heart. It was his stubbornness that led to this tragedy. Although he wanted his granddaughter to return to the family, he had to give up because of the pressure of his eldest daughter-in-law.
At that time, he had to support the whole Hsu Family, and he had no time to manage the affairs of the family. Even if he really took Anthea home, he had no way to take care of her. He would only let her be neglected and bullied at home. Weighing the pros and cons in the end, he chose a simple family without children to take care of her granddaughter.
Now that he had retired, as he grew older, he wanted to see his granddaughter more and more to make up for her. Thus, during the second semester of her twelfth grade in high school, he brought her to Ice city, where the teaching resources were better...
Anthea came back to her senses and looked up. When she saw the wrinkled look in Master Hsu's eyes, she hurriedly shook her head. "Grandpa, I didn't blame you!" "I know that I'm sorry for you!" Master Hsu held her hand and his eyes were slightly red. "I failed to take you back to the Hsu family that year and let you change your surname. And you have been living in the small town all the time..."
Anthea got up in a hurry, bent down in front of the old man, and comforted him with a smile, "Grandpa, don't say that! Don't worry. Mom and Dad are both very good. I've been very good and happy all these years!"
Mom and Dad referred to Anthea's adopted parents in the town.
She did not lie. In her heart, she had never blamed her grandpa. Her adopted parents treated her very well and treated her as if she was their own daughter. She had never hated or blamed her grandpa. If she had to complain, it was that the happy moment when she was six years old was too short...
Master Hsu touched her hand lovingly and asked, "Are you used to living in school?"
"I'm used to it!" Anthea smiled.
"That's good. You must tell me if there's anything you're not used to. If there's anything you need, just call Grandpa. Your uncle is a shareholder of the school!" Master Hsu said in a warm voice. Uncle Jayden was the youngest son of
the Hsu family, and now he was the only son in the family. He shared the same father but different mother with her biological father Hendrix. The two brothers had always been at odds with each other. Anthea, as a child who was never recognized by the whole family, he disliked her, and had never looked at her seriously.
Anthea didn't want the old man to worry about her. She replied with a smile, "Alright, I know..."
"Knock, knock-"
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Then, a tall and strong figure came in, dressed in camouflage training uniforms and wearing military boots. The old man's room was the largest in the villa, but after his appearance, the whole space became
narrow.
Master Hsu smiled and waved at him. "Adam, come in!"
From the smile on his face, Master Hsu's appreciation and love for his son-in-law could be seen.
Anthea's heart skipped a beat. She stood up in silence and said, "Grandpa, I should go back to school!"
"Okay!" Master Hsu did not stop her. He knew that she was now in her senior year of high school and her study would be busier.
Anthea nodded and answered obediently, "Grandpa, then I'll go first!"
After that, she lowered her eyes, crossed her hands in front of her body, and walked out of the bedroom in a very virtuous manner. After closing the door, she suddenly stopped after a few steps. "Creak, creak..."
Fifteen minutes later, the door of the bedroom was finally pushed open again.
Anthea, who was painfully waiting against the wall, suddenly stood up straight and held her breath. Then, she saw Adam coming out from the inside. When his military boots touched the ground, it made a very stable and powerful sound, as if he were walking on the tip of a person's heart.
When his black eyes passed over her, they were cold and unflustered, without the slightest change.
Anthea clasped her hands behind her back and watched him coming over step by step.
Even if he didn't say a word at this moment, the majesty and power flowing from him were enough to make people bend their knees and their spines.
Looking into that pair of deep and cold eyes, Anthea felt a chill in her heart. There was a kind of uncontrollable timidity and guilty conscience.
That's right, it's a guilty conscience...
In Anthea's sight, she did not ignore his bandaged right hand, and she herself was the culprit.
Adam had just chatted with his father-in-law in the room. When he came out of the room, he caught a slender and delicate figure. He didn't expect that the person who said she was going to return to school before hadn't left yet. She leaned against the wall as if she was waiting for him.
His footsteps didn't stop, and he didn't even lift his eyebrows when he passed by her.
Just as he passed by her, his left hand that was hanging down suddenly warmed up.
Adam's temples also throbbed. When he turned around, he saw a small, soft, fair hand tightly clutching his."... Uncle!"
