Purchased A Mr. Right -
Chapter 1014
Anthea was awakened from her fantasy by the ringtone.
Then, she realized what she had done just now. Her cheeks turned a little red. She swallowed, and then picked up the phone. "Hello, grandpa!"
Master Hsu asked her lovingly, "What are you doing now, Anthea?"
"I'm in the dormitory. I've just had lunch!" Anthea asked lovely, "Grandpa, what's the matter?"
"Humph... You heartless girl. Don't you think you've forgotten something?" Master Hsu pretended to be angry.
"You mean your birthday?" Anthea sniggered and coaxed him. "Grandpa, how can I forget it? I've prepared all the gifts. I'll send them to you by express delivery, and you'll receive them tomorrow!" "Send the gifts to me by express delivery? Why don't you give them to me personally? There'll be a birthday party tomorrow night. I'll ask the driver to pick you up at school!"
"Grandpa, I'm going to study at night..."
Anthea was not lying to Master Hsu. It was true that as a grade-three senior high school student she had to attend night classes. But more importantly, she didn't want to go to the Hsu family. She felt that she didn't belong to there.
"Ask for a leave from your teacher!" Master Hsu said directly, "I'm an old man now, Anthea. I haven't had a birthday with you yet! Now you've moved to Ice city. If you don't come to my birthday party, grandpa won't be happy!"
Seeing that Anthea didn't say anything else, Master Hsu sighed deliberately and added exaggeratedly, "At my age, how many years can I live? One of my feet has stepped into the coffin!"
Anthea replied helplessly, "Grandpa, don't say that. I'll go to your birthday party!"
In the evening of the second day, the sunset glow kindled the sky.
Anthea had refused Master Hsu's suggestion that he would send a driver to pick her up at school. Instead, she chose to take a taxi herself.
Just like before, she jumped out of the taxi at the door. As she walked inside, she could see the bustling scene in the villa from afar.
Both the Hsu family and Master Hsu were influential in Ice city. Although the birthday party was not held in a high-profile way, many people still came after they heard about it. There were a great many luxury cars parked in the courtyard.
Anthea's eyes swept over those luxury cars. She seemed to be looking for something eagerly.
Finally, her eyes were fixed on the jeep with the military plate.
The birthday party was held in the side hall, but due to the reason that a large number of guests had come, Anthea could see groups of people chatting together after she entered the hallway.
Of course, Anthea didn't know a single one of them. However, just like when she was eagerly searching for the jeep, she subconsciously looked inside the hall. This time, she spotted Adam in the crowd at a glance.
He was dressed formally today, and was wearing a black suit.
His black suit was of a British style, and there was a vest beneath it, which made him look strong and handsome. His military boots were today replaced by a pair of shining leather shoes.
Adam looked very handsome, and he was also a strong and clever young man. He really stood out in the crowd. Unlike the others who were busy gossiping, he stood there in silence, with one hand in his pocket.
Even though there were many people around him who tried to talk to him, he just listened to them most of the time, and nodded from time to time. "What are you doing here?"
Suddenly, a man shouted to Anthea. It was clear that this man didn't like her
Upon hearing the voice, Anthea turned around and saw Jayden Hsu, the youngest son of the Hsu family. He was also the only son at the moment.
The eldest son and the eldest daughter of the Hsu family had respectively been killed by car accident and air crash, and now Jayden was the only one left. This year, Master Hsu decided to retire to the second line, and he had just completely handed over the family business to Jayden.
Anthea saw that there was a sexy and beautiful woman in Jayden's arms. It seemed as if this was his newest girlfriend, as she was different from the one next to him when Anthea saw Jayden last time. She looked down and didn't show much emotion. She simply replied, "Little uncle, grandpa has asked me to come here."
"I knew it!" Jayden snorted.
After all, Jayden Hus was only the half-blood younger brother of Hendrix Hus, Anthea's father. Jayden didn't think Hendrix was a good elder brother. In addition, Anthea was sent to the countryside when she was a child, and she grew up there. For this reason, Jayden had never taken her seriously.
Jayden said to Anthea sternly, "This is the Old Master's birthday party, and those who have been invited here are honorable guests. After you enter the hall, you have to be careful with your words and behavior understand?"
"OK..." Anthea responded in a low tone, unwilling to interact with this little uncle more. She gestured to the paper bag in her arms, "I've prepared a gift for grandpa. I'll take it to him now!"
There was a scarf in the paper bag, which was woven by herself after she bought some woolen yarns. Although spring had already come, the weather was still cold, and Anthea thought that the old man still needed a scarf.
"Go!" Jayden also saw the scarf. He then left with his female companion in his arms with disdain. He needed to meet more guests.
Anthea rolled her eyes up at his back.
She held the gift in her arms and went straight through the crowd to the Old Master.
Master Hsu was just waiting for Anthea to come. When he saw her, he immediately became happy. He took her hand to his side. "Anthea, I thought you were just lying to grandpa. I'm so glad you come here!"
"How could it be?" Anthea handed the paper bag to him. "Grandpa, this is my gift! It's a scarf. I knitted it myself. I don't know if you like it or not..."
After all, she had just been looked down upon by her uncle, Jayden. She was still a little lacking in confidence.
"I like it... Of course... I like it! My granddaughter has knitted it for me. She's such a considerate and nice girl!" When Master Hus saw the scarf, he immediately put it on. If it weren't for the fact that it was too ho inside the house, he would be unwilling to take it off. He whispered to her, "Humph... Your scarf is much better than the antiques these people have sent me. They're cold... Beautiful but not useful things!" Anthea's heart was filled with warmth. She sweetly said, "Grandpa, happy birthday to you! You'll be healthy, and your life will be as long as pine trees in the Alps!"
"Good... Good!" Master Hsu was really delighted.
As the Old Master was the central figure today, there would always be people coming up to greet him. After two guests had just left, Anthea asked the old man quietly, "Grandpa, must I leave after the birthday party ends?" "Of course!" Master Hsu took her hand. "The chef invited today can cook very delicious foods. You should enjoy yourself later!"
Anthea had to nod. "Okay..."
Taking advantage of the reason to answer a phone call, she ran outside of the villa to breathe some fresh air.
The phone was from one of her best friends, Emily Sam, who had grown up together with her in the little town. "Anthea, Leonardo has returned to Ice city!"
"D*mn it... Does he really want to finish his education in Ice city?" Anthea exclaimed in a low voice.
"Yes!" Emily added, "I guess... Not later than tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, he will come to you and brag about everything in front of you!
Before he left my house today, he warned me not to tell you anything about it. He said he wanted to give you a shock!"
Anthea looked up at the sky speechlessly. "Okay...
Emily... I got it!"
"Anthea, I have been so lonely since you left. I don't have anyone to be my best friend at school. I miss you so much!" Emily was almost mourning.
"Me too!" Anthea also missed Emily so much. She comforted the latter and said, "It doesn't matter. After the second half of this semester, we will be able to meet each other once we become college students. Let's attend the same college!"
After hanging up the phone, Anthea planned to hang out outside the villa for a longer time. Suddenly, she heard the voices of servants talking in the kitchen next to her, and she thought she had heard these words, 'Rory's husband"".
Wasn't Adam Chin 'Rory's husband'?
