Chapter 1016
Anthea looked at him nervously and guiltily. She then asked tentatively, "Uncle Chin?"
"Get off the car." Adam said in a low voice.
"Huh?" Anthea looked at him, a little dumbfounded.
She was just thinking about LGBT in her mind, and did not tell him anything about it.
Adam held the steering wheel with one hand. He frowned and urged her, "Get off the car and wait
for me on the roadside!"
"..." Anthea mumbled.
Being stared at by his domineering eyes, she didn''t dare to say anything else. She just unfastened
her seat belt and jumped out of the car without a word.
The car door was closed, and the jeep drove forward. Anthea stood alone on the roadside, feeling
that she was just like a discarded kitten. Her face was pitiful and disappointed.
"Humph... I''ll definitely tell grandpa what happened!" She thought.
Just as Anthea wondered if she should take a taxi back to school, she found that the jeep did not go
away. It turned around at the end of the street and stopped at a parking space on the roadside.
Then, Adam''s tall and strong figure passed through the zebra line.
Adam walked back to her side and said, "Let''s go!"
Anthea blinked her eyes in bewilderment.
Adam put the key into his trouser pocket. Although this was a two-way street, the right side of it was
dotted with yellow lines. He could only park the jeep on the other side after turning around at the
end of the street. See that that Anthea was standing there still, he frowned and added, "Aren''t you
hungry?"
After Anthea heard this, she found out that there was a restaurant of hand-pulled noodles near
them.
She was stunned for a moment, and then became excited. Now, she had already forgotten that a
short while ago she swore she would definitelyin to her grandfather against Adam. She
followed behind him obsequiously like a kitten. "Uncle, wait for me!"
At this time of the day, there were still a lot of customers at the restaurant. The main hall on the first
floor was particrly crowded. The waiter took the two of them to a table in the innermost corner.
Anthea sat down and immediately ordered arge bowl of beef noodles.
On the opposite side of the table, Adam was sitting with his long legs crossed. It seemed as if his
sole purpose was to apany Anthea, and he didn''t want to eat anything. He lit a cigarette and
ced the other hand on the dining table, tapping it rhythmically.
The waiter quickly served arge bowl of noodles to Anthea. It consisted of delicious ribs soup,
handmade noodles, several slices of sauce beef, as well as chopped scallions, and coriander on
top of them.
Anthea felt hungry and eagerly picked up the chopsticks. She asked politely, "Uncle, shall I eat my
noodles now?"
Adam flicked the cigarette ash and nced at her. This served as the answer.
Anthea immediately began to eat the noodles, but as she ate them, she also brought out the
coriander.
"You don''t eat coriander?" Adam suddenly asked.
"No, I don''t like them!" Anthea shook her head and grinned. "It''s okay to put coriander in the dish or
soup, but I don''t like to eat them!"
Anthea had been used to this habit since she was a child.
In less than ten minutes, Anthea finished eating the bowl of noodles.
This evening, at the birthday party of the Hsu family, she only ate two pieces of almond cakes and
almost nothing else. She kept sitting still like a graceful pine tree, for fear that her uncle, Jayden
Hsu, woulde over and deliberately make trouble for her.
Now, she held up the bowl of noodles with both hands and drank all the soup. Her stomach was
finally full.
Seeing that Anthea had put down her chopsticks, Adam got up and went to the counter to pay the
bill, and she immediately followed up like a lovely little cat.
Because the jeep was parked on the opposite side of the street, Adam needed to cross the street
before he could take the car.
Adam intended that she should wait for him on this side of the street, just as she had done before
they went into the restaurant. However, Anthea had just finished a bowl of delicious noodles and felt
grateful to him. For this reason, she decided to follow him to the zebra line.
Because it was a red light, the two of them stood there and waited, like other pedestrians.
Adam picked up another cigarette from the box and inadvertently looked to Anthea. Under the neon
lights, there was no makeup on the side of the girl''s face, yet not a single w could be observed in
her. She was such a delicate and beautiful creature.
The white smoke gradually spread, and he was absent-minded for a moment because of her
beauty, so that he did not even notice the change of signal light.
Anthea had followed the other pedestrians forward. When she found that Adam''s tall figure was not
beside her, she immediately turned her head around and saw that the handsome man was still
standing there and smoking. She nced at the jeep that was still parked there and the countdown
time of the green light, and then ran back to him.
"Uncle, let''s go quickly! We''re going to miss the green light soon!" She said in a hurry.
Before he could respond, Anthea had grabbed his big hand and quickened her pace.
With one hand holding the cigarette and the other one grabbed by her, Adam, who was 1.8 meters
in height, passively let her lead the way in front of him.
When they finally reached the other side of the street, the green light was just turned into red light,
and the cars on the street began to move on again. Anthea let go of his hand, as if she hadn''t done
anything special at all. She continued to follow him to the jeep.
Adam looked down at his palm.
After folding up his palm, he inserted it into the pocket of his trousers, and his Adam''s apple moved

in an almost unnoticeable manner.
Although it was now the 21 st century, the marriage between Adam and his former wife Rory Hsu
had actually been arranged like an ancient marriage, in which the husband and the wife didn''t have
enough independent rights. It was called "marriage between the two families", but this didn''t change
the fact that it was the parents, rather than the young man and woman, who determined the
marriage.
Adam''s father, Bemy Chin, was the one who presided over the marriage between he and Rory.
Adam did not reject the arrangement of marriage, nor did he feel anything special to be with Rory. It
was more like he was simplypleting a military mission. Before the wedding, Adam and Rory
had only met a few times. They just met each other formally, and these could not even be called
"dates". Soon the wedding between them was held after Adam returned home uponpletion of a
mission.
Therefore, this was the first time that Adam crossed the street hand in hand with a girl.
He felt a little special in his heart.
The jeep once again stopped in front of the gate of Vaden High School. It was obvious that Adam
was quite familiar with this ce now.
Anthea unfastened her seat belt and thanked Adam. Then, she reached out her hand to open the
car door.
But she paused when she was about to push the door open. After hesitating for a while, she finally
called out to Adam, "Erm... Uncle Chin..."
"What''s wrong?" Adam asked.
Anthea thought about it for a long time, but she finally couldn''t help saying, "It has been two years
since Aunt Hsu passed away. Have you ever thought about marrying someone else?"
"No... Not for the time being." Adam replied indifferently.
Anthea bit her lips, trying to figure out the meaning of his words.
With a wavering expression on her face, she wanted to say something, but stopped on second
thought. Then, she said, "Uncle, in fact, people have different values and interests. Many popr
singers and movie stars have bravely announced it. But... What should I say? I mean... In real life, it
is still a rtively sensitive topic. Most people still can''t ept it. It can easily be the center of
gossips and rumors!"
After saying that, Anthea opened the car door and ran away. "Ahem... It''s gettingte. The dormitory
area will be locked up soon. I''m going back!"
"..." Adam was puzzled by her words.
"Is this the generation gap? Am I too old to
understand what she meant?"
At 7:00 a m. the next day.
As usual, there were students holding textbooks everywhere in the school. They were going to the
teaching building to prepare for the morning selfstudy ss.
Shelby Jiles, who had juste down from the Mercedes Benz, was naturally the focus of
everyone''s attention again.
Because this was a private boarding school, most of the students needed to stay in school.
However, there were a small group of students who enjoyed the privilege of being able to go home
freely, and Shelby was one of them. In fact, she also had a dormitory, but it was more like a
symbolic one.
K Zach had already been waiting for Shelby at the entrance of the teaching building. She
impatiently went up to thetter and said, "Shelby, what you said yesterday is true, right? Will Young
Master Schain really transfer to our school today?"
