Purchased A Mr. Right -
Chapter 1060
As time went by, Anthea was looking forward to the arrival of the weekend every day.
Today was Friday. Tomorrow was Saturday. Early in the morning, Anthea came out of the canteen. On the way to the teaching building, she couldn't wait to take out her mobile phone.
After she dialed the number, she held her breath and waited anxiously.
Finally, Adam's low and deep voice rang through the call. Feeling a little nervous, she put the phone to the other side, "Hello, Adam, it's me!"
"Hi," Adam replied in a low voice.
Anthea licked her lower lip. Thinking of the faint alienation she felt from him when she met him at the Hsu family house the day before yesterday, she bit her lips and asked, "It's Saturday tomorrow. Will you come to pick me up after school?"
There was a moment of silence at the end of the call before Adam's indifferent voice rang, "I'm afraid I won't have the time this week. I've been quite busy lately."
'Busy again?'
When Anthea heard that, she stopped walking. She could not hide her disappointment and anxiety, "Aren we going to stop the class this weekend?"
"Yes," Adam replied. She paused for a while and continued in a low voice, "I've seen your maths ability. You're good at it. You will have no problem with applying for colleges."
"But..."
"If you have questions that you don't understand, you can send them to me. I'll solve them and send them back to you when I have time."
After Adam interrupted her, she clutched her fingers and said, "Adam, then even if we don't do the class, can we have a hot pot together? The food in the canteen hasn't been good. I'm longing for a hot pot!" "Let's talk about it later," Adam said lightly, which sounded a little perfunctory. Before she could say something else, he had finished the call in a hurry, "I am busy, talk later."
Looking at the ended call, Anthea started to feel stifled.
Suddenly, she felt that the sense of alienation from Adam seemed to be stronger...
She walked into the teaching building with her mobile phone in her hand and went to the bathroom halfway. When she came out, two roommates of hers also came over. When they saw her, they said hello and stood in front of the bathroom together.
"By the way, Anthea, the day after tomorrow is Lexandria's birthday, Rosie and I will go out to celebrate her birthday!"
Holly, who was standing beside her, took the initiative to say, "Don't worry. We won't go to a bar but only a KTV to sing. I booked a group purchase. It's quite cheap. We can sing for a few hours, and they will serve us fruits!"
Rosie also hurriedly asked her, "Anthea, you must come. Are you free the day after tomorrow?"
In their dormitory, everyone knew that Anthea had found a family tutor even she performed goof at school. They were all envious.
Thinking of the phone call she had with Adam just now, she said in a faint voice, "Well, I have time..."
"That's settled then!" Rosie and Holly did not notice her upset look and discussed excitedly, "I'll plan again. Let's gather some money to buy her a cake!"
"Okay," Anthea said in a muffled voice.
After washing their hands, the three of them left the bathroom and were ready to go back to class to study.
After they left, the door at the very back was pushed open. Shelby walked out gracefully, washing her hands in front of the pool and tidying her long black hair in front of the mirror, feeling good.
Around 10 p.m., Shelby was sitting by the bed in her pajama and flipping through a foreign latest edition of a popular magazine.
Tucking the long hair by her ear from time to time, Shelby looked at the mirror at the side from the corner of her eyes, appreciating her side face.
As she raised her hand to touch it, her eyes moved slightly.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the bedroom door. A servant came in and said, "Miss, a girl wants to see you!"
There was a smile on the corner of Shelby's mouth. Then she nodded to the servant and asked him to bring the girl there. Soon, Kyla ran in in a panic. Almost rushing to Shelby, she cried, "Shelby, help me!" "Kyla, what happened?" Shelby asked with a puzzled look.
Kyla's eyes were red, and her face was pale. She looked so frightened and scared that her voice was trembling. "What should I do? If I don't pay them back before next Monday, they will force me to go into prostitution! Shelby, help me. It's Friday today, and I only have two days..."
Half an hour later, the servant sent Kyla out of the
Jillson family.
Unlike looking full of fear when she entered the room, Kyla had already calmed down. Under the moonlight, she even had a vicious smile on her face.
She took out her mobile phone and dialed a phone number, "Hello, Brother Sawyer, are you free now? I'll come to you now..."
After hanging up, she put her thumb on the phone screen where there was a bright and young face of a girl, looking cold and sinister.
Sunday, in Chin's Mansion.
The sunset glow enveloped the three-story villa as the servants in the courtyard were trimming flowers and plants.
In the study on the second floor, the fragrance of tea lingered in the air. Although Adam was on vacation at home, he always wore camouflaged training uniforms, showing a soldier's demeanor and temperament at all times.
Bellamy sat in front of his desk. Next to him, a standup military uniform hung on the clothes rack, making the atmosphere in the room like in the military.
However, Bellamy's heart was filled with satisfaction, looking at Adam, who had joined the army. It was rare for him to smile. Each time they had a conversation, Bellamy would first discuss the matters of the military with his son.
"I heard the news that Francis wants you to join them?"
"Yes," Adam nodded and said, "He has invited me, but I haven't received the transfer order yet."
"You can get promoted with Francis. But with your current social status, it's not necessary!" Bellamy said thoughtfully, "What's more, the conditions there are relatively worse. In the mountainous area, it is harder for you to live there. What's more, the southern city is too far, and it will be even more difficult for you to go back home. Your mother will miss you sick!"
Bellamy asked Adam, "Adam, what do you think?"
Adam thought for a while and answered, "I haven't thought about it yet. Before I came back, the chief had just mentioned it to me."
"I have already analyzed the pros and cons for you just now. Therefore, it's up to you. I will not interfere! If you do not wish to go, I will take care of the high-ups for you!" Bellamy said. "Okay," Adam said in a light voice.
"There's one more thing," Bellamy paused, changed the subject from career to life, frowned, and said, "Some time ago, the Hsu family went to sweep
Rory's tomb. You didn't go with them, did you?"
Adam's eyes narrowed slightly with slight ripples flashing by.
He did not sweep her tomb on that day because he received a phone call from Anthea, who asked him to fulfill his promise to treat her to a hot pot...
As his throat bobbed up and down, Adam said in a low voice, "I happened to have something to do."
