Purchased A Mr. Right
Chapter 1078

Anthea explained, "I don't dare to stay in other places. I'm afraid!"

Hearing this, Adam glanced at the security guards standing a few paces away from him.

Looking up at him, Anthea's voice was soft, a little excited, and with lingering fear, "Uncle Adam, I thought you wouldn't come..."

It was okay at the beginning, but she got really panicked as time went by.

Adam's Adam's apple bobbed slightly.

In fact, he didn't need to come by himself. He could send a subordinate or tell the local police station. Sending her back was not a big deal.

But Adam still came.

He had just parked the car on the side of the road, watching her from a distance, seeing her pitifully squatting here looking around. He could see clearly the hope and expectancy in her eyes.

He didn't get off the car, but was smoking and waiting.

When he saw that the rims of her eyes were gradually turning red, Adam opened the door and

strode toward her.

He couldn't bear to see her cry...

Although Adam was in the army all year round, he still had met many women. He had seen women crying, but Anthea was different. When Anthea cried, her eyes turned red and tears flowed out. With a slight blink of her eyes, drops of tear would fall down like beans.

It was like she could really touch his heart.

Anthea struggled to stand up. But, two seconds later, she raised her head again, "Uncle Adam, my feet are numb!"

"Can you stand up?" Adam put out the cigarette and reached out to help her up.

"Mm!" Anthea said in a low voice.

In fact, she still wanted to lean to him for a little longer.

When she stood firm, Adam frowned and said, "Anthea, as you have wished, you've seen me now. You can go back."

Anthea fell silent.

"I'll take you to buy tickets." Adam turned around and wanted to go to the ticket office.

When Anthea saw this, she hurriedly stopped him, "I don't want to go back..."

Adam looked at her with his deep eyes.

Anthea bit her lips and clasped his hands together. "I can't buy a flight ticket. I bought a train ticket, but I didn't have a berth ticket, only a seat. I've been sitting for 48 hours and my waist is almost broken. Every part of my body aches. Besides, the food on the train is not delicious at all. I'm tired and hungry and pitiful! Uncle Adam, must you drive me away now?"

After hearing her last sentence, his heart was softened.

Her words mixed in the night wind were a little wronged and were pleading.

Under the street lamp, her clothes were wrinkled, her palm-sized little face fair but pale and haggard and her hair on the forehead also a little messy, and there were black circles under her eyes. It could be seen that she didn't have a good rest.

Adam kept silent for a while and said softly, "Get in the car."

Hearing this, Anthea smiled with two shallow dimples on her face, and she followed behind him for fear of losing her way.

Adam drove a black Hummer with a military plate on it.

He was not used to hearing radio or music while driving. Only the dashboard gave off a weak light in the car.

It was already half past eleven in the night, and the neon lights passed quietly outside the window. Unlike the northern city, the temperature in Francis was higher and it was more humid.

This was Anthea's first time coming to Francis area, and she felt strange wherever she looked.

However, as long as he was there, she felt that it was not strange at all.

The train station was in the center of the city.

Twenty minutes later, Adam parked his car in front of a hotel and threw the key to the doorman after getting off the car.

Seeing that he was dressed in a military uniform, the doorman took it carefully.

Adam took her straight into the lobby. He stretched out his hand to her, intention obvious.

Anthea took out her ID card from her bag.

She thought that he would take her to his dormitory in the city, just like when they were in Ice city. But on second thought, she thought that he could not take her back because he had to avoid gossip. After handing the ID card to the receptionist, Adam ordered, "One room." "Okay, Mister, please wait a minute!" The staff was very efficient and settled everything in two minutes. They handed over her ID card and the room card, and looked at them from the corner of their eyes.

Anthea's cheeks were a little red.

Even if she knew that he only booked the room for her and would not stay overnight, the fact that the staff mistook them for lovers made her heart beat faster.

The deluxe suite was very spacious.

Anthea threw her bag on the sofa and looked around, feeling very happy.

Adam had lit a cigarette and said to her, "Take some rest in your room. I'll go downstairs to buy some night snacks for you."

Anthea nodded meekly.

At this moment, she was still like a kitten who had found her master and was wagging her tail.

About half an hour later, Adam came back again. He bought a lot of fried dishes with both vegetable and meat, as well as a bowl of steaming wonton.

In fact, Adam's first thought was hot pot.

But hot pot was not easy to get into hotel. Also, it was also too troublesome to enjoy. She had been on the train for so long, so she should go to bed early.

"So much delicacies, it smells so good!"

Anthea held her empty stomach and let out a cry of joy.

She wasn't acting at the station just now. She was really hungry. She was in a hurry and only wanted to replace him. She didn't prepare anything and just packed toiletries and two pieces of clothes. The boxed meal in the dining car was particularly unpalatable.

Anthea washed her hands and sat on the sofa. She blinked at him and said, "Uncle Adam, I can't eat that much. Eat with me, will you? It will be more delicious if you are with me!"

"Alright." Adam took over the chopsticks.

Seeing that he agreed, the corners of Anthea's lips curled up.

When it was about him, she was happy even if it was nothing particular.

Anthea was very hungry. She ate like a wolf and didn't try to be a lady. When she filled her stomach, it was too late to think of being a lady. Wiping away the rice grains on the corner of her mouth, she blushed a little.

Adam lit another cigarette and asked her, "Why did you come?"

Anthea's face froze for a second and looked straight at him, "I've said, I came for you!" "You should be staying in Ice city, not here." said Adam. He looked like an elder educating a junior. He exhaled a puff of white fog, "Leave your identity card with me. I'll book a flight for you tomorrow."

"I won't go back!" Anthea was anxious.

"Willfulness can't solve any problem." Adam frowned.

"I'm not willful!" Although she said so, her words were full of willfulness, "Even if you send me back, I will still come back!"

"Do you need me to call your grandfather and ask him to pick you up?" It was like Adam's handsome features were covered with a layer of frost.

Anthea clenched her hands and threatened him.

"Well, then go ahead. Let grandpa know that I'm here looking for you ALONE!"

There was a ravine between Adam's brows.

The room suddenly quieted down, leaving only the beautiful moonlight outside the window.

Anthea's eyes moved slightly, and a few wisps of light mist appeared in them, "Uncle Adam, did you transfer here because of me?"
