Chapter 1113
The eyes of Shelby and Madam Jiles fell on Anthea, and then they both looked away indifferently.
The two of them acted as if they hadn''t seen Anthea at all. They continued to walk past her, talking
andughing along the way. Shelby was especially arrogant. She acted like a proud peacock and
treated Anthea like a humble chicken.
Anthea also turned her face away, and she didn''t want to say "hello" to any one of them.
However, Anthea knew she was now in the Hsu family. She leaned slightly to one side and gave
way to Shelby and Madam Jiles without behaving humbly or pushily.
When the two of them passed by, Master Hsu''s surprised voice came from upstairs. "Anthea, I''m
here!"
"Grandpa!" Anthea smiled happily.
Master Hsu waved at her and quickly gestured for her to go upstairs.
It had been a long time since he saw his granddaughterst time. The old man missed her so much.
He held her hand and led her back to his room, and then asked the servants to serve them
two cups of hot tea.
Although it was still very hot at the end of August, the air conditioner made the room cool and
comfortable. After drinking some tea, Master Hsu, who was a kind-hearted old man, talked to
Anthea about daily trifles.
The Old Master had seen the scene on the stairs just now. He wanted to say something about it, but
was to some extent hesitating. "Anthea, just now... Don''t mind it!"
"Grandpa, I''m fine!" Anthea smiled. She didn''t mind it at all.
For those who didn''t care about her, there was no need for Anthea to be bothered by them.
In Anthea''s heart, only her adoptive parents who had raised her up, as well as Master Hsu, who
was her biological grandfather, were important.
No... There was one more person she deeply cared about now...
Thinking of the deep and ck eyes of Adam, as well as his deep and maic voice, Anthea''s
heart trembled. She missed him so much!
Master Hsu suddenly thought of something and asked casually, "Do you know Shelby Jiles? I
suddenly remembered that you two seemed to have been in the same high school!"
"Yes, but not very familiar with her!" Anthea nodded.
Truth be told, the rtionship between the two girls was more than being unfamiliar with each other.
Anthea suddenly thought of the high school graduation party held a year ago.
Shelby tried to trap her during the party. If Anthea hadn''t reacted in time, she would have fallen
victim to the trap and beenughed at by everyone. Although it happenedst year, Anthea still
didn''t forget it.
At that time, Anthea even had a conjecture in her heart, that Shelby also had something to do with
K'' plot against her.
Master Hsu didn''t know what had happened among Anthea, Shelby, and K. He shook his head
and said, "Shelby has been spoiled by her doting parents. She is the child of my wife''s brother, his
only daughter. Her parents treated her like a pearl in their palms because when they gave birth to
her, they were no longer young. I think she is too selfish!
"She was admitted into a good collegest year, and her parents held several banquets to celebrate
this. Now she is about to start her sophomore year, but she wants to attend a different college! Her
parents have gone abroad for a business trip, so she came here to talk to her aunt about it!"
Anthea listened nonchntly, but she didn''t care much about it at all.
Master Hsu also saw that she was not very interested in Shelby''s personal affairs, and therefore he
didn''t talk much about it. Instead, he smiled and said, "Let''s not talk about her. Anthea, aren''t you
tired of studying medicine?"
"No, I''m not tired!" Only then did Anthea reveal two shallow dimples.
Master Hsu asked curiously, "You are going to be a sophomore soon. Have you had a boyfriend
now?"
"No..." Anthea bit her lips and shook her head.
Her long eyshes hung down, covering her eyes, but there was an air of embarrassment in her
expression.
Master Hsu said with a smile, "Don''t worry. I''m not an old-fashioned old man. I understand you
young people. It''s normal to fall in love with someone in college. If you meet someone you like, just
tell him bravely. I will always support you!"
"Grandpa!" Anthea said shily and obediently. Holding the old man''s hand, she hurriedly added,
"Don''t worry about me. I just want to study hard now. A boyfriend? ...Well, I don''t want it for the time
being!"
She said thest few words almost with a guilty conscience and sweet feeling at the same time.
After having dinner with the old man, Anthea came out of the vi of the Hsu family at the sunset.
It was still early in the evening. Anthea had turned down Master Hsu''s kind suggestion to ask his
driver to give her a ride and was now going along the private road. When she arrived at the
intersection, she would be able to take a taxi back home.
Perhaps it was because the Old Master had mentioned personal affairs rted to "a boyfriend" with
her, Anthea''s heart felt something romantic.
"What should I do now? I suddenly miss Adam so much!"
Hearts that have amon beat are linked. When Anthea was missing Adam, she suddenly
received a call from him.
Anthea''s eyes lit up, and she was excited when she picked up the phone. "Hello, Adam?"
"Mm..." Adam replied to her with a deep and maic voice.
Anthea''s eyshes fluttered. She was delighted. "Why do you call me so early today? Don''t you
need to go through training today?"
In the days after she came back from Francis city, Adam, as he had promised, called her every
night. Because he was very busy with military training, most of the time he could only call her at
approximately 8:30 p.m. He was almost as punctual as the Big Ben.
That''s why Anthea was very surprised when he called her at this time of the day.
She almost could hear his footsteps through the phone line. It was the sound of his military boots
falling on the ground, steady and powerful.
Adam told her, "Well... I just came out of the chief minister''s office. Just now we talked for a while."
"Oh!" Anthea didn''t ask further. It might be a military secret.
A car''s horn was ring behind her. She quickly moved to the roadside, and a car passed by her.
Adam had always been sensitive to different sounds. When he heard the sound of the car horn, he
asked, "Anthea, are you outside of your home now?"
"Well... I came to see grandpa!" Anthea honestly told him.
Adam became silent for a while and asked, "How''s the Old Master?"
"He''s in good shape. I chatted with him for a while and we had dinner together. Now I just came out
of the vi!" Anthea replied with a smile. Suddenly, an air of cunningness shed through her eyes.
"Well... Grandpa asked me if I had a boyfriend in the college, and also told me that he knew a lot of
young and handsome guys. He wanted to introduce a boyfriend to me!"
Adam''s voice sank slightly. "Did you agree?"
"Haha... I was just kidding!" When Anthea felt that Adam was slightly annoyed, she knew that he
had been fooled. She immediately burst intoughter. "The first half of my saying is true, and the
second half is simply a joke. I just told grandpa I didn''t need a boyfriend now. I wanted to focus on
study!"
"Good girl." Adam praised her.

Anthea was so pleased that she felt herself like a little swallow flying overke water in the spring
breeze.
His tone reminded her of the way he often patted and caressed her head, just like she was a little
kitten, while he was the master.
Anthea''s heart was filled with warmth and excitement. She turned to the phone and said tenderly,
"Adam... Just hold on for another month, and I''ll be able to reunite with you on the National Day
holiday! Are you excited or not?"
Adam didn''t answer her question, but asked in reply, "Anthea, what do you want to do most when
you see me at that time?"
"Get into your arms!" Anthea instantly replied.
"And then?" Adam continued to ask.
Anthea blinked her eyes and replied with a little shyness, "I want to hug you, and I want a kiss..."
