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.

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 😩...
