Purchased A Mr. Right
Chapter 1096

He was her husband, and they had been married for more than three years...

The news made Anthea utterly confused.

She did not expect Mira to be a married woman, and she had been married more than three years!

So, when she saw Mira one year ago, she had been married for two years?

What was going on?

Could it be that Adam had hooked up with someone else's wife?

Anthea quickly denied the idea as soon as it came to her mind.

He was not an immoral person!

Somehow, Anthea was particularly sure of this.

He was a person of excellent character and had stayed in the army for many years. In her eyes, he would never do such a nasty thing against morality, whether he was an officer in the army or not. He was a man with dignity and honor.

Subconsciously, she looked at Adam, who was standing aside.

She noticed that Adam still looked serious. There was not a single bit of embarrassment or anger, or even surprise on his face.

When the man walked to Adam, he let go of Mira and stood straight to salute, "Captain Chin!"

Adam nodded slightly.

This was the right thing to do to greet a superior.

But the next second, the corner of Adam's mouth curled up slightly as he joked. "Why are you so slow? Braxton, you are not driving so well as you used to."

Braxton laughed heartily and said, "Bah, see? My wife was in the car. I had to slow down because I was afraid that she would get carsick! I've brought all the military supplies here. Hurry up and get some people to move them! Find a place for me to rest. You know what, I set off at 3 o'clock in the morning!"

After exchanging some words, Adam put his arm around Braxton's shoulders and strode toward the camp with him.

Looking at their backs and listening to their laughter, Anthea thought that they seemed to be very close friends.

Her husband left with Adam, and Mira walked up to Anthea. She gently held her shoulder and said with a smile, "Anthea, we haven't seen each other for a year. You look even more beautiful. Even as a woman I can't help looking at you!"

Anthea licked her lips but said nothing. Instead, she asked doubtfully, "Mira, what is going on?"

Mira looked at her with a smile.

Once again, Anthea cast her eyes on the two men who had gone far away and withdrew her gaze. "A year ago, I saw you and my uncle-in-law..."

Mira whispered in her ear, "Captain Chin asked me to do him a favor."

"..." Anthea was stunned.

Then, she gradually understood what she meant.

It meant that nothing was going on between Mira and Adam. So, they were just acting when she knocked on the door.

It was the first time that the disaster area was so bustling at night.

From time to time, Anthea could hear footsteps and people's voices from outside.

In the medical rescue center, Anthea sat on a chair, one hand holding her chin. She was motionless and somewhat absent-minded as if she had been cast a spell.

She had been in a daze.

There were quick footsteps outside. Then Leonardo hurriedly ran in and pulled her arm. "Anthea, hurry up.

Why are you still in a daze? Go to have the meal

quickly. There won't be a seat if you're late!"

When Braxton and Mira came over in the morning, they brought military supplies and a lot of food ingredients.

During the more than a week in the disaster area, they mainly depended on compressed food, filling and having a long storage period.

The hot pot tonight could be considered a big meal forthem.

In the disaster area, it was very luxurious to have fresh food. Thanks to Braxton and Mira, a lot of hot pot seasonings were brought here from far away. Not only the soldiers in the army but also residents in the resettlement place had received some.

Tonight, everyone was very happy.

At ordinary times, it was nothing special to have a hot pot. They did not realize how tasty it was until they had not had a chance to eat it for a long time.

Leonardo dragged Anthea out of her tent.

They used portable gas furnaces, so rows of long tables were placed outside for security reasons. After all, there were too many people here. Soldiers from the rescue team and doctors from the medical team took their seats together.

Every two tables had one hot pot and a lot of ingredients.

They had collected seven or eight kinds of food. Though eating here was not as good as in the restaurant, it was a very lively gathering.

Anthea and Leonardo found a seat and sat down, and everyone was laughing and joking. The steaming hot pot seemed to bring some hope to the tough life in the disaster area. When the natural disaster passed, people would build new homes and start a new life. "Anthea, you're here!" Declan, who happened to sit next to her, greeted her happily.

"Declan!" Anthea smiled.

Looking at the rolling soup in the pot, she could not help swallowing some saliva and could not wait to have this meal.

After staying in the disaster area for so many days, she had already had enough of the convenient food. Now that she could eat her favorite hot pot, her filthy mood became much better.

Just when Anthea took her seat, Adam and Carter arrived as well.

When they saw Adam, they all stood up and saluted. Adam motioned forthem to sit down.

Except for the medical workers, the others here were all from the army, but still, he looked so prominent among them. He was not at all careless and casual.

Instead, he had an aura of authority and fierceness.

Adam sat opposite her.

Carter said a few words to the two young soldiers sitting there, and they immediately moved away.

Whenever she looked up, she could see his handsome facial features.

When their eyes met, Anthea lowered her eyes first.

"It's great to have the hot pot!"

"We all have to thank Braxton and Mira. Without them, we wouldn't be able to eat this great meal!"

Someone mentioned this, and everyone else echoed.

Upon hearing this, Braxton waved his hand.

"No, no, it's nothing. I'm just an errand boy!" Braxton explained because he did not want to take all the credit. He glanced sideways at Adam and laughed, saying, "Our superior knew that all of you had been worked hard these days, so he paid for the meal to reward you!"

Upon knowing that, everyone was even happier.

Anthea was sitting on a stool, and her fine hair was swept back in a ponytail. The warmth of the steam from the hot pot made her face red. As she lowered her head and concentrated on eating, her long, curling eyelashes fluttered like two small fans.

Braxton and Mira exchanged a look and immediately understood why Adam would treat them to this meal.

This was the real reason why Adam was willing to pay for the hot pot and take so much effort to get everyone together.

He did it because Anthea liked the hot pot.

Anthea seemed to enjoy the dishes very much, but in fact, she had been eating the food in her bowl all the time and never raised her head to refill her bowl.

As long as she raised her head, she could see Adam opposite her.

Both her mind and heart were in a mess.

"Anthea, why don't you pick up the food in the hot pot?" Declan, who was sitting next to her, could not help reminding her. "Listen, these hungry wolves are used to snatching food in the canteen when in the army. If you don't get more food in your bowl, there will be nothing left for you later!"

Declan was worried that she could not get enough food, so he reached out his chopsticks to help her get food in the pot.

Someone had just dropped some cabbages and coriander into the pot, so all that Declan's chopsticks got was green vegetables.

This situation placed Anthea in something of a

dilemma.

When she was about to speak, a deep male voice came from the opposite side. "She doesn't eat coriander."
