Fortunately, she didn't forget where she was. She sat up straight and hid all her emotions under her long eyelashes.
Master Hus took the box that Adam handed him and smiled from ear to ear. "It's very kind of you that you brought me the gift!"
"It's just a token of my goodwill," Adam said in a low voice.
"Then I'll take it and share their happiness!" Master opened the box and took out the candies. He handed his granddaughter a piece of wedding candies and said with a smile, "Thank you, Adam! You must be tired driving all the way here."
"It's okay." Lil Adam Yining said calmly.
They could also ask the chauffeur to bring the gift here, but Bellamy Chin thought it better to bring it by Adam in person. It was also an way of interaction between the two families.
Anthea was chewing the soft candy. The fragrance spread through her mouth and it tasted sweet.
Seeing that Adam was picking up the car keys, she couldn't help but spoke first. She looked at her watch and said, "Grandpa, it's getting late. I have to go back to school!" "Alright." Master Hus smiled and nodded. After looking at his granddaughter, he looked at his son-in-law and suddenly said, "Adam, I have something to tell you. Come with me to the study!"
Adam nodded and said, "Okay."
The study is on the second floor, opposite to the bedroom.
Adam followed Master Hsu into the room. The two of them sat down on the peach wood seats in front of the window.
Master Hsu said with a smile, "Adam, your mother-in-law wants to move Rory's tomb!"
Rory had died in aircrush, and her body was not found. They could only make a mound in the cemetery, as a symbol.
"The staff in the ceremony made a call the day before yesterday, saying that they'd accidentally cut off a corner of the tomb when cleaning it. Your Mother-in-Law has been talking about it for a long time. Women usually get more superstitious when they get older! She's found a fortune-teller. She's been working on it for a while, ending up with a conclusion that the present location isn't good and that she wants to relocate it to a cemetery in southeast, where has better luck! We respect your opinion and want to get your permission!"
Hearing that, Adam said in a low voice, "I have no objection."
"Well, that's good!" Master nodded with a smile, "I will give instruction later!"
Adam's eyebrows moved slightly and there was a flash of surprise in her eyes.
If it was just about moving his wife's tomb, there was no need to come to the study. He thought his father-in-law's intention was not limited to this.
As he had expected, Master Hsu spoke again after a few seconds of silence, as if he was chatting casually. "Adam, you should know that your mother-in-law is actually the second wife I married, right?"
"Yes," Adam replied.
This wasn't some secret of a wealthy family. Everyone knew about it.
"My first wife and I only have one son, Hendrix, who has passed away more than ten years ago!" Master Hsu seemed a little melancholic to mention his late wife and son, "I arranged a marriage for Hendrix at that time. In fact, he already had a lover outside and had a wedding ceremony in the countryside!"
'I tore them apart and caused the tragedy in the end!'
"It was me who made Anthea lost her parents at her six and can't be admitted to the family. She might even be mistaken for an illegitimate daughter... I'm
very sorry forthem!"
Adam frowned slightly.
At that time, he should only be a teenager. He didn't expect that she could be so strong to become such a lively, smart and quick-witted girl.
Master Hsu suddenly called him," Adam."
When Adam looked up, he heard her father-in-law continued, "Anthea is still young and immature. So she often has immature thoughts. She would jump into something even she herself was not clear about!"

Hate deception and Abby and Dylan take the cake ,ugh...
NO!!! Tina belongs with Wilson…. Let Dylan and Abby get together...
Wow, once again the villain messes up the true love, Abby needs to go back abroad. And Tina’s true identity as the daughter of Bill Ambrey needs to be exposed! Then the families can “convenience marry” !! Abby is a witch....
Too bad Wilson can’t figure out that his and Tina’s ex’s and his cousin Desmond are conniving creeps!...
Anthea is so stupid, lying and leaving the man who loves her more than life itself. 🤬...
She deserves to be unhappy, being with someone she doesn’t love because of resentment for the exact thing she is doing, hopefully she ends up with no one. Calvin is a wimp and doesn’t love her, just wants a wife to please his family....
So the same basic story as Simon and Addy but stupid Emily is going to marry him! What a hypocrite! Ugh...
Emily gets more stupid every chapter, when did she pickup Calvin as a fiancé!!?? This story line is awful….very sad to do to Simon what she “thought” he had done but didn’t. She is truly a dumb woman. Simon never loved or really even cared for Addy….what the hell is she doing with someone she doesn’t even know or like/love. Awful 😢...
Emily is a fool, don’t let go of the man who truly loves you. Let go of the past, of which he did nothing but help someone who saved his life, and be happy with him… he is your soulmate....
Nothing like cutting off your nose to spite your face Emily. Just stupid! Ugh 😩...
