Anthea sat on the marble table, as docile as a little kitten.
She lifted her small face and allowed her master to do as he pleased.
"Happy birthday, Anthea."
The corners of Anthea's mouth curled up sweetly.
At the same time as his deep voice fell, she felt a sudden chill on her collarbone.
Anthea's eyelashes drooped. She saw a thin platinum necklace around her neck, and a small ruby of red blood hung from it. Taking a closer look, she found that it was in the shape of a red bean, and it looked exactly like a red bean.
If she had not felt the coolness of jade, she would have thought that it was the real Red Bean.
Anthea raised her head and looked at him in surprise.
Adam placed his palm on the back of her neck, and his black eyes were deep. "Red Bean is born in the Southland, and it represents lovesickness."
Birthday present...
She thought his appearance was the best birthday gift and he even cooked birthday noodles. She didn't expect that he had prepared another gift!
She repeated his words in her heart.
She understood his intentions.
Because of his identity, he often had to stay in the army. Therefore, the two of them did not have much chance to meet, so he gave her a bean of lovesickness. Lovesickness was the same meaning as Anthea and there was also his love embedded in this gift.
Anthea held the small red bean in her hand and looked at him incredibly, "Adam, when did you prepare it?"
Adam said, "At the middle of October, on a little task aboard. I chose the raw jade there and made it into what it looks like now after returning home."
Anthea calculated silently in her heart.
In the middle of October, the two of them just finished their long holiday, and there were nearly three months before her birthday. He had prepared so early that it meant that he always put her in his heart all the time.
Anthea sniffed, and the rims of her eyes were hot.
She was moved again!
Adam asked her, "Do you like it?"
Anthea nodded like a chick pecking at rice, "I like it very much!"
Anthea held him tightly and didn't want to let go. She couldn't wait to converse with him her loving feelings for him for the whole night. But when she thought that he was going to rush back to the army tomorrow, she felt heartrending and reluctant. At about three o'clock in the morning, the two of them fell asleep reluctantly.
The next day, Adam made breakfast for her and left at 8 o'clock.
He drove back and called her to tell her that he safely arrived at the base.
At that time, Anthea just arrived at the Hsu family and came to visit Master Hsu. She was going back to the town the next day, and there were still more than half a month before lunar new year. She had to follow her teacher Vincent to the hospital for internship after new year holiday before the new term would begin.
Anthea was the only one left lying on the bed at night.
It would be alright at ordinary times, but the bed was still filled with the scent of intimacy. The two of them had separated after just ten hours of seeing each other. Their longing for each other had turned into a flood. Especially Adam, who texted her before she went to bed, "Anthea, I miss you."

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 😩...
