Adam's words were still lingering in Anthea's heart.
Her inner world suddenly became bright, and her mood was like the breeze in spring.
Anthea raised her delicate face in excitement and disbelief. She immediately flushed when she saw how awkward she looked in the reflection of Adam's black eyes. She felt so shy that she tried to bury her head in his arms and chest.
After a long while, she bit her lips and raised her head again.
Adam had actually seen through her thoughts!
Anthea caressed his chest, feeling shy and embarrassed. "Adam Chin, when did you find out that I was unhappy?"
Adam's lips curled up and a faint smile appeared on his face. He replied, "When you were unhappy and didn't want to shoot the gun again at the military shooting range."
Again Anthea was stunned.
That should be the second time she met Amelie, and it was during the meeting that she figured out and became sure that Amelie was secretly admiring Adam. Moreover, Amelie said in front of Anthea that she was no match for Adam, which made her so mad. Amelie also shot the bull's eye three times and then looked down upon her performance...
Then, Adam shot the track of a loving heart to make Anthea happy again.
It turned out that Adam had already felt her unhappiness at that time!
The corners of Anthea's lips curled into two small dimples.
In fact, she never mentioned it to Adam. At most, she only appeared to be just a little jealous.
Because she knew that Adam regarded Amelie as a close friend and appreciated her abilities very much. The two of them were family friends, and Adam had always been a candid person. Anthea thought it would be inappropriate for her to criticize Amelie openly, but how did he find it out?
Thinking of this, Anthea raised her head again. With a confused look, she wanted to say something but halted on second thought.
Adam seemed to know what she wanted to ask. He thought for a while and muttered, "I was not completely sure."
It was true. He wasn't absolutely sure what Amelie was thinking about him, but he could roughly smell something strange, that she might have a secret
crush on him.
When he was promoted to be a lieutenant colonel, Adam declined Amelie's suggestion to celebrate. But when he and Anthea climbed up the mountain to see the meteor shower, Amelie happened to go there too. There was also the excuse that she had accidentally stepped on a beast trap the next morning. Both Adam and Amelie were excellent military officers, and it was quite impossible for anyone of them to make such mistakes.
Adam was happy to see that her little girl was jealous of Amelie, but he didn't want to see her upset.
Anthea looked at Adam without a blink of her eyes.
There were admiration and love in her eyes, and her emotions were just like a river that flowed slowly.
Whether he could be sure or not, when Adam realized with his keen sense that Anthea was unhappy with the existence of Amelie, he personally eliminated all possible ambiguity in his relationship with Amelie. When Amelie tried to confess her affection towards him, Adam immediately interrupted her with a merciless refusal. He simply didn't want to give her any chance.
Anthea was very moved. "Adam, you're so kind!"
Adam's long arms embraced her, giving her the firmest and safest chest a girl could possibly
expect.
Nestling herself in his arms and chest, Anthea felt extremely happy and secure. At this moment, she wished that she could become a vine and twine Adam tightly, and be attached to him forever.
She looked down at her left leg and said shyly, "I hope my leg will recover quickly so that I can give myself completely to you!"
Adam became speechless,
He swallowed, yet he pretended to be calm.
Well... Truth be told, he was almost unable to hold himself back!
At the entrance of the supermarket in the underground parking lot...
There were many people around the supermarket on the weekend. When Adam put Anthea down, he frowned and repeatedly reminded her, "Anthea, you can't run about inside the supermarket. Just follow me, understand?"

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 😩...
