All of a sudden, both of them were shocked.
They saw that Adam was standing in front of them, followed by Carter. His tall figure blocked the sunshine above their head, and both of them were covered by his shadow.
His appearance was like the cold air of the cold current, and the two of them who had been talking and laughing turned serious immediately.
The soldier immediately stood at attention, "Captain Chin!"
Anthea moved to the side to keep a distance from Adam.
Although Adam's question was for the two of them, Adam's eyes were focused on her palm-sized face.
She could only reply, "Nothing!"
Adam had changed into camouflage clothes. His right leg was wrapped in gauze and his hands were in her pockets. Standing next to him gave her an invisible pressure of inferiority.
Squinting his black eyes, he asked, "Why stopped talking as soon as I came here? Weren't you talking and laughing just now?"
"Brother Declan gave me something to eat, and thanked me for treating his wound!" Anthea said. It wasn't an explanation but merely an answer to his question.
Brother Declan is the soldier in front of her. Yesterday, when she was treating him with her teacher, they chatted a little. She knew that his name was Declan Schain. He was recruited from a local college and had just joined the army for a year.
When Adam heard this, his sight swept over the gauze pasted on Declan's forehead.
Declan suddenly felt it like cold air blew on his face, and inexplicably felt that the temperature suddenly became low.
Although he did not know the reason, he sensed something from their conversation. He asked, "Anthea, you know Captain Chin?"
"Yes." Anthea nodded.
A trace of nervousness appeared on Declan's face. He asked in a low voice, "Then you..."
Seeing that they seemed to be familiar with each other, he guessed in his heart that there must be some subtle connection between them. He flinched at the thought of it.
Anthea looked at Adam, who remained calm all the time, and explained directly, "He is my uncle.
Husband of my father's sister."
"I see!" Declan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and became delighted. However, he did not dare to show too much of his delight because of Adam's presence. Therefore, he maintained standing at attention.
Adam said in a low voice, "You have nothing to do right now?"
This time, he was staring at Declan.
The reputation of the Hell-king Chin had always been famous in troops of the whole country. A cold look in his eyes was enough to make people chill.
"No!" Declan stood even more straight and didn't even dare to breathe. He quickly raised his hand and saluted, "Captain Chin, I shall attend to my own works now!"
After Declan left, Adam glanced at the milk and bread in her hand and asked, "You haven't eaten lunch yet?"
"I'm going to!" Anthea replied.
Adam seemed to have pondered for a while before saying, "I have two beef cans in my tent. Come with me. I'll give them to you!"
"No, thanks. These will be enough!" Anthea shook her head and refused.
She looked down, showing her long eyelashes, and there were two shadows under her eyelids. Those shadows looked like a small fan. All these made the intentional distance between them protruding.
She said respectfully, "Uncle Adam, I shall attend to my works now! Please excuse me."
After saying, Anthea took the milk and bread back to the tent.
Adam's pupils contracted as he stared at her figure walking away.
She used to call him Uncle Adam with a smile like a blossoming flower, but now she called him like an unfamiliar senior.
He had a strange feeling in his heart and he couldn't find a way to vent it.

The readers' comments on the novel: Purchased A Mr. Right
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 😩...
