Purchased A Mr. Right -
Chapter 1076
In the evening, the setting sun in the west enveloped the Hsu family's villa.
After getting out of the taxi, Anthea walked inside listlessly. When she stepped into the yard and saw the jeep parked there, she suddenly held her breath. She pinched her fingers, and walked faster.
When she entered the gate, a servant came up to her, gave her slippers and went back to report her arrival at the same time.
There was no one in the living room because it was dinnertime. Master Hsu was in the dining room. Anthea walked straight to there.
A few days ago, Madam Jiles had gone to visit her relatives who had immigrated abroad, so there were only three people in the house at this time.
In the distance, she saw Master Hsu sitting on the main seat, Jayden Hsu on the left, and the familiar figure on the right. Even though he was sitting, he couldn't hide his tall figure. With tableware in his slender hands, he looked handsome as usual.
When he looked at her with his black eyes, Anthea lowered her eyes subconsciously.
She didn't dare to look him in the eye.
Master Hsu looked at her lovingly, "Anthea, you are here!"
"Grandpa!" Anthea called out to him in a lovely manner.
The rich aroma of the delicacies wafted in the dining room. There was a sumptuous meal on the table, and it seemed that they had just began.
Master Hsu asked her in a gentle voice, "Anthea, have you eaten yet?"
Anthea had already eaten on the way here, but she shook her head against her heart, "I haven't..."
Hearing this, Master Hsu immediately ordered, "Housekeeper, add a set of tableware to Miss Anthea!"
Servant in the kitchen took out a set of tableware and placed it next to Jayden. Anthea went over and pulled out the chair to sit down. She said in a muffled voice, "Uncle Jayden."
Jayden was a little impatient, but due to the presence of the Master Hsu, he had to make a beautiful window-dressing and have a snort.
Seeing that Anthea and Jayden finished talking, Master Hsu smiled and reminded her, "Anthea, why don't you say hello to your Uncle Adam? Didn't you see him?" "Uncle Adam..." Anthea finally raised her head and pursed her lips to Adam.
Adam put down the cup of water in his hand and replied calmly, "Em."
Jayden didn't pay much attention to the extra person at the table, and he continued, "Adam, I heard that it's about time for the army recruitment! A boss I know has a son always making trouble. He wants to sent the boy into the army to get tempered!"
"He can fill in a sign-up form," Adam said in a low voice.
"Okay, I'll tell him later!"
"Okay."
Listening to the two talking to each other, Anthea put rice into her mouth.
In fact, her stomach was full and she couldn't eat anything. She just wanted to find an excuse to sit down.
In the midst of her dreamy thoughts, she heard Master Hsu's kind voice, "Anthea, you must get relaxed after the exam, right? Is there anything you want to learn, or is there any place you want go? I find graduation trip and summer camp quite popular recently. Do you want me to sign up for you?"
"Thanks, grandpa!" Anthea shook her head, "I've found a part-time job recently."
Hearing this, Master Hsu was surprised and frowned again, "Part-time job? If you are short of money, you could just tell me!"
Anthea explained with a smile, "No, I just want to take the opportunity to temper myself!"
"Wouldn't that be tiring?" Master asked with concern.
"It wouldn't, grandpa!" Anthea shook her head again, secretly glancing at the opposite side from the corner of her eyes.
Adam was picking up a piece offish and picking out fishbones. He was focused on the fish and didn't hear nor gave any concern to the conversation between her and her grandfather.
Anthea clutched the chopsticks in her hand, feeling like stifled.
The dinner lasted a bit long. During the dinner, Master Hsu and Jayden both drank. Only Adam didn't drink because he had to drive. The three men were chatting all the time. When the dinner was over, it was already late.
In Anthea's sight, Adam picked up the car key next to him.
Anthea also took a look at her watch and was ready to speak when Master Hsu spoke first. He looked at his son-in-law with a smile, "Adam, can you give Anthea a lift?"
When his eyes met with his father-in-law's, Adam's Adam's apple moved slightly.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice, "Sorry. I have business to attend to."
"All right then!" Master Hsu nodded without hesitation and his smile deepened.
Adam stood up and said, "I beg for my leave."
"Well, be careful on the road!" Master Hsu smiled and urged. Then he turned to his granddaughter who had lowered her head and patted her hand. "Anthea, I'll ask the chauffeur to send you." Anthea clenched her fists, and she tried to show happiness, "Don't bother, grandpa. It's not too late. I can take a taxi back!"
"That won't do. Let the chauffeur send you, or I'll be worried!" Master Hsu said.
"Okay, I'll listen to you!" Anthea nodded.
She inadvertently turned her head and looked out of the window. The jeep in the yard was driving away.
Like that night in the hospital, it disappeared into the night without hesitation.
This time, he did not only avoid her deliberately, obviously.
After all, it was her who crossed the boundary...
Twenty days later, she got the grades of the examination.
Anthea finished filling out college preference like the other students,.
After finishing the examination, she did not immediately return to the town, but continued to choose to stay in Ice city.
It was not that she didn't miss her adoptive parents. After transferring to the school in Ice City for several months, she missed them very much. Her adoptive parents knew that Master Hsu would take care of her in Ice city, so they naturally wouldn't force her back. They thought that she wanted to stay here and have more fun.
Only Leonardo knew what she was doing here, going out early and returning late every day.
She was doing something secretly.
Anthea was stillin a cold sweat when she thought of the scene at the beginning. But at this moment, she was very happy. Her palm-sized little face was shining, and there were two shallow dimples on her cheek.
She finally made it!
Anthea should go back to the house of her adoptive parents in the town. She would come back before the term should begin. But before going back, she was going to pay respect to her biological father at his grave, which was also Master Hsu's idea.
When she went in the villa of the Hsu family, she subconsciously looked for the jeep in the yard.
But the yard was empty, and there was no car.
Anthea suddenly felt lost in her heart, but when she thought of something, she felt a little excited.
After entering the villa, a servant came up to her as usual.
After changing into slippers, she looked at the empty living room and went upstairs, "Is Grandpa in the room?"
"Miss Anthea, master has gone out!" The servant replied.
"Gone out?" Anthea was stunned and stopped in surprise. "But I have an appointment with grandpa!"
Master Hsu wouldn't fail to keep an appointment. Did he have something important to deal with?
The servant explained to her, "Master Hsu got a phone call in the morning, and it said that Master Adam is being transferred to Francis! I heard that the place is quite remote, and he would stay there for two years. He won't be able to come back often in the future, so after receiving the news, master and the others have gone to see him off! The plane has probably taken off by now..."
Anthea was stunned on the spot.
