Chapter 1014


    Anthea was awakened from her fantasy by the ringtone.


    Then, she realized what she had done just now. Her cheeks turned a little red. She swallowed, and


    then picked up the phone. "Hello, grandpa!"


    Master Hsu asked her lovingly, "What are you doing now, Anthea?"


    "I''m in the dormitory. I''ve just had lunch!" Anthea asked lovely, "Grandpa, what''s the matter?"


    "Humph... You heartless girl. Don''t you think you''ve forgotten something?" Master Hsu pretended to


    be angry.


    "You mean your birthday?" Anthea sniggered and coaxed him. "Grandpa, how can I forget it? I''ve


    prepared all the gifts. I''ll send them to you by express delivery, and you''ll receive them tomorrow!"


    "Send the gifts to me by express delivery? Why don''t you give them to me personally? There''ll be a


    birthday party tomorrow night. I''ll ask the driver to pick you up at school!"


    "Grandpa, I''m going to study at night..."


    Anthea was not lying to Master Hsu. It was true that as a grade-three senior high school student


    she had to attend night sses. But more importantly, she didn''t want to go to the Hsu family. She


    felt that she didn''t belong to there.


    "Ask for a leave from your teacher!" Master Hsu said directly, "I''m an old man now, Anthea. I haven''t


    had a birthday with you yet! Now you''ve moved to Ice city. If you don''te to my birthday party,


    grandpa won''t be happy!"


    Seeing that Anthea didn''t say anything else, Master Hsu sighed deliberately and added


    exaggeratedly, "At my age, how many years can I live? One of my feet has stepped into the coffin!"


    Anthea replied helplessly, "Grandpa, don''t say that. I''ll go to your birthday party!"


    In the evening of the second day, the sunset glow kindled the sky.


    Anthea had refused Master Hsu''s suggestion that he would send a driver to pick her up at school.


    Instead, she chose to take a taxi herself.


    Just like before, she jumped out of the taxi at the door. As she walked inside, she could see the


    bustling scene in the vi from afar.


    Both the Hsu family and Master Hsu were influential in Ice city. Although the birthday party was not


    held in a high-profile way, many people still came after they heard about it. There were a great


    many luxury cars parked in the courtyard.


    Anthea''s eyes swept over those luxury cars. She seemed to be looking for something eagerly.


    Finally, her eyes were fixed on the jeep with the military te.


    The birthday party was held in the side hall, but due to the reason that arge number of guests had


    come, Anthea could see groups of people chatting together after she entered the hallway.


    Of course, Anthea didn''t know a single one of them. However, just like when she was eagerly


    searching for the jeep, she subconsciously looked inside the hall. This time, she spotted Adam in


    the crowd at a nce.


    Owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    He was dressed formally today, and was wearing a ck suit.


    His ck suit was of a British style, and there was a vest beneath it, which made him look strong


    and handsome. His military boots were today reced by a pair of shining leather shoes.


    Adam looked very handsome, and he was also a strong and clever young man. He really stood out


    in the crowd. Unlike the others who were busy gossiping, he stood there in silence, with one hand in


    his pocket.


    Even though there were many people around him who tried to talk to him, he just listened to them


    most of the time, and nodded from time to time.


    "What are you doing here?"


    Suddenly, a man shouted to Anthea. It was clear that this man didn''t like her


    Upon hearing the voice, Anthea turned around and saw Jayden Hsu, the youngest son of the Hsu


    family. He was also the only son at the moment.


    The eldest son and the eldest daughter of the Hsu family had respectively been killed by car


    ident and air crash, and now Jayden was the only one left. This year, Master Hsu decided to


    retire to the second line, and he had justpletely handed over the family business to Jayden.


    Anthea saw that there was a sexy and beautiful woman in Jayden''s arms. It seemed as if this was


    his newest girlfriend, as she was different from the one next to him when Anthea saw Jaydenst


    time. She looked down and didn''t show much emotion. She simply replied, "Little uncle, grandpa


    has asked me toe here."


    "I knew it!" Jayden snorted.


    After all, Jayden Hus was only the half-blood younger brother of Hendrix Hus, Anthea''s father.


    Jayden didn''t think Hendrix was a good elder brother. In addition, Anthea was sent to the


    countryside when she was a child, and she grew up there. For this reason, Jayden had never taken


    her seriously.


    Jayden said to Anthea sternly, "This is the Old Master''s birthday party, and those who have been


    invited here are honorable guests. After you enter the hall, you have to be careful with your words


    and behavior, understand?"


    "OK..." Anthea responded in a low tone, unwilling to interact with this little uncle more. She gestured


    to the paper bag in her arms, "I''ve prepared a gift for grandpa. I''ll take it to him now!"


    There was a scarf in the paper bag, which was woven by herself after she bought some woolen


    yarns. Although spring had alreadye, the weather was still cold, and Anthea thought that the


    old man still needed a scarf.


    "Go!" Jayden also saw the scarf. He then left with his femalepanion in his arms with disdain.


    He needed to meet more guests.


    Anthea rolled her eyes up at his back.


    She held the gift in her arms and went straight through the crowd to the Old Master.


    Master Hsu was just waiting for Anthea toe. When he saw her, he immediately became happy.


    He took her hand to his side. "Anthea, I thought you were just lying to grandpa. I''m so d you


    come


    here!"


    "How could it be?" Anthea handed the paper bag to him. "Grandpa, this is my gift! It''s a scarf. I


    knitted it myself. I don''t know if you like it or not..."


    After all, she had just been looked down upon by her uncle, Jayden. She was still a littlecking in


    confidence.


    "I like it... Of course... I like it! My granddaughter has knitted it for me. She''s such a considerate and


    nice girl!" When Master Hus saw the scarf, he immediately put it on. If it weren''t for the fact that it


    was too hot inside the house, he would be unwilling to take it off. He whispered to her, "Humph...


    Your scarf is much better than the antiques these people have sent me. They''re cold... Beautiful but


    not useful things!"


    Anthea''s heart was filled with warmth. She sweetly said, "Grandpa, happy birthday to you! You''ll be


    healthy, and your life will be as long as pine trees in the Alps!"


    "Good... Good!" Master Hsu was really delighted.


    As the Old Master was the central figure today, there would always be peopleing up to greet


    him. After two guests had just left, Anthea asked the old man quietly, "Grandpa, must I leave after


    the birthday party ends?" "Of course!" Master Hsu took her hand. "The chef invited today can cook


    very delicious foods. You should enjoy yourselfter!"


    Anthea had to nod. "Okay..."


    Taking advantage of the reason to answer a phone call, she ran outside of the vi to breathe some


    fresh air.


    The phone was from one of her best friends, Emily Sam, who had grown up together with her in the


    little town. "Anthea, Leonardo has returned to Ice city!"


    "D*mn it... Does he really want to finish his education in Ice city?" Anthea eximed in a low voice.


    "Yes!" Emily added, "I guess... Notter than tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, he wille to


    you and brag about everything in front of you!


    Before he left my house today, he warned me not to tell you anything about it. He said he wanted to


    give you a shock!"


    Anthea looked up at the sky speechlessly. "Okay...


    Emily... I got it!"


    "Anthea, I have been so lonely since you left. I don''t have anyone to be my best friend at school. I


    miss you so much!" Emily was almost mourning.


    "Me too!" Anthea also missed Emily so much. Sheforted thetter and said, "It doesn''t matter.


    After the second half of this semester, we will be able to meet each other once we be college


    students. Let''s attend the same college!"


    After hanging up the phone, Anthea nned to hang out outside the vi for a longer time.


    Suddenly, she heard the voices of servants talking in the kitchen next to her, and she thought she


    had heard these words, ''Rory''s husband''".


    Wasn''t Adam Chin ''Rory''s husband''?
