Purchased A Mr. Right
Chapter 1112

After the plane landed, Anthea stayed in Ice city that night and returned to the town by taxi the next day.

Her parents had been waiting for her to come back and had prepared a lot of delicious food earlier.

As Anthea's parents hadn't seen her for a long time, they missed her very much. Anthea's mother was especially happy to see her again. She was so excited that she was holding Anthea's hand all the time. From time to time, she would say that Anthea had lost weight.

The husband and wife of the Lee family were very simple-minded and honest persons. They met each other many years ago when they responded to the government's employment plan of "going to the mountainous areas and the countryside". When they returned to the town, they got married. Although they couldn't have their own child because of physical reasons, their relationship had always been very good.

After the husband and wife adopted Anthea, they treated her like their own daughter, a bright pearl in their palms.

Although Anthea was hurt by her parents' death at a very young age, fortunately, she still had a happy

childhood and a warm family.

It was now less than a week before the beginning of the new semester.

After some time, Anthea had to leave home again. She really cherished the time when she could be with her adoptive parents. However, when the night fell, she felt more and more uneasy.

Seeing that Anthea only ate half of the apple in her hand and put it down, her mother asked in surprise, "Anthea, don't you want to watch TV for a while?"

Just a moment ago, it was advertising time, and now it was playing TV drama.

Although Anthea looked back at her mother, she also kept glancing at the clock on the wall from the corners of her eyes. She yawned and said, "I'm a little tired. I want to go back to my room and rest for a while! You and daddy can watch TV together."

Upon hearing this, Anthea's mother realized that her daughter had been busy with her internship. She and her teacher, and classmates had been working busily during the summer vacation. She must be tired after returning home.

Her mother didn't ask any more questions and said in a hurry, "Okay... You can go to bed as early as possible!" "Dad... Mum... Good night!" Anthea nodded.

She went back to her bedroom and closed the door, but she didn't lie down on the bed to rest as she had said. Instead, she took a chair and sat in front of her desk.

The two arms were folded on the table. Anthea looked at the mobile phone screen, unblinking, and waiting for the call from him with full concentration.

After getting off the plane last night, Anthea made an appointment with Adam that he would call her at 8:30 this evening.

Now there were still five minutes left, Anthea was looking forward to the call from Adam.

Her eyes were firmly fixed on the mobile phone screen.

When the screen lit up, Anthea picked the phone up in an instant.

She bit her lips, and couldn't hide the joy in her voice. "Hello?"

On the line, Adam's deep and magnetic voice was heard. "What are you doing?"

Folding half of her face, Anthea looked at the moon hanging high outside the window, which was a little hazier than the one she saw at the disaster-stricken area. She blinked her eyes and replied, "Uh-Huh... Watching a South Korean TV drama. There are a lot of tall and handsome Korean stars in the drama. I

love them all!"

Anthea didn't want Adam to know that she had been waiting for the phone for a long time."

"How handsome are they?" Adam seemed to smile.

Hearing the faint laughter of him, Anthea suddenly felt charmed and said, "Not as handsome as you, anyway!"

This time, Adam's laughter became even clearer.

Anthea held her blushed cheeks with her hands and asked, "Did you just finish your work?"

"Yes." Adam answered her. He was taking a long breath and seemed to be smoking. "I joined a new combat training program today. The training intensity is high, and it has just ended."

"Is it a hard one?" Anthea asked.

Adam smiled slightly and said tenderly, "It's easy."

It seemed as if Anthea was the only person who would ask naive questions like this. However, these naive questions could easily fill his heart with warmth.

Anthea and Adam seemed to have endless things to talk to each other. Anthea was just like a noisy sparrow, telling him everything, including the details of three meals a day.

Adam didn't replace her annoying at all. He just listened to her patiently all the time and answered her occasionally.

In the end, Anthea's fingers lightly tapped on the table, as if she was writing his name in an invisible manner. She suddenly shouted in a tender voice, "Uncle Chin!"

"Hmm?" Adam responded to her question.

Anthea said softly, "I miss you so much.

"What should I do now?"

The two of them had only been separated for one day. However, during these twenty-four hours, Anthea felt that every minute was like a year.

On the phone line, Adam was silent for two seconds, and then he said, "Anthea, you've just returned home. Go to bed early."

Hearing this, Anthea pouted and felt wronged. "Are you driving me away?

"I think you have no sense of romance at all!"

"No," Adam answered, "If I continue to listen to your voice, I'm afraid that I will become sleepless tonight."

Anthea's breath trembled, and she raised her hand to cover her chest, because her heart was beating rapidly.

"Who is the less romantic between the two of us?

"Awoo... Adam Chin, you have broken the rules!"

After hanging up the phone, Anthea still held the phone for a long time. It was only when her mother saw that the light was still on in the room and knocked on the door to ask if Anthea had gone to the bed that she took off her slippers and climbed onto the bed.

In the dream, there was always a sweet dream on her face.

It seemed as if time passed quickly in the disaster-stricken area, but very slowly since Anthea came back home.

As Anthea and Adam were very far away from each other, they had to make a phone call every night. Five days later, at the end of August, Anthea packed up her luggage and returned to the college.

On the afternoon of the day before she set off, Anthea went to the Hsu family.

During the whole summer vacation, she had been wandering outside of Ice city. It had been a long time since she had visited Master Hsu last time.

Just like before, Anthea got out of the taxi and walked into the villa of the Hsu family. Now there was a thin layer of sweat on her forehead.

A servant came forward and gave her a pair of slippers.

After Anthea put on the slippers, she learned that Master Hsu was in his own room. She then walked to the stairway.

When Anthea was about to go upstairs, she heard the sound of footsteps.

She looked up and saw an elegant old lady coming downstairs.

In fact, the so-called old lady was six or seven years younger than Master Hsu. After all, Master Hsu was not her first husband. Today, she just turned 60 years old, and her hair was carefully combed behind her head. She had almost no white hair, and she looked like a person difficult to get along with. She was Madam Jiles, Master Hsu's wife.

Most of the time, when Anthea visited the villa of the Hsu family, she rarely met Madam Jiles.

Take Anthea's little uncle, Jayden Hsu, as an example. He looked down upon Anthea as if the latter were a humble maid servant. However, even Jayden had to pretend that he was not that unfriendly towards Anthea in front of Master Hsu. As for Madam Jiles, she needn't pretend anything at all. After all, Anthea was in an awkward position in the Hsu family!

At this time, Madam Jiles was not followed by a servant, but a young girl.

This young girl was about the same age as Anthea. She was dressed elegantly, and her clothes were of the most popular luxury brands. Her face was wearing light makeup. When she was still a high school student, her hair used to be long and straight. Now, she had a few wavy curls at the end of her hair, and she looked fashionable and beautiful. Her casual action of flicking the hair around her ear still had the feeling of a former campus belle.

The young girl was holding Madam Jiles' arm. The two of them seemed to be very intimate to each other, and they talked and laughed when they walked down the stairs.

Anthea and this young girl happened to know each other. She was none other than Shelby Jiles.

Anthea was stunned to have met her here.

Then, she quickly remembered the relationship between Shelby and the Xu family.

The family name of Shelby and Madam Jiles' were the same. Jayden Hsu was Shelby's cousin. Thus it could be deduced naturally that Shelby was a relative of Madam Jiles. It was normal for her to visit the Hsu family.
