Chapter 1223


    Soon after that, footsteps could be hearding from the hallway.


    Meadow was very delighted to hear that, and her face seemed to have be brighter. She


    quickly walked out of the kitchen to greet the neer.


    Amelie also heard the footsteps. She put down the pot in her hand and followed Meadow out


    happily.


    When they just came out of the kitchen, Adam had already entered the dining room. He had


    changed into casual clothes. Although his clothes were light gray in colors, he still looked mature


    and calm. His tall and strong figure could virtually make any clothes more attractive.


    Amelie''s eyes were almost shining, but when she caught sight of the girl holding Adam''s hand, her


    facial expression froze instantly.


    Anthea greeted Meadow obediently. "Auntie, Happy New Year!"


    Meadow was surprised to see her, and at the same time, she couldn''t hide her amusement. "Oh...


    Anthea is here too!"


    Two shallow dimples appeared on Anthea''s cheeks. She did not have a ponytail today. Instead, her


    long hair freely covered her shoulders. Her face looked young, lovely, and particrly pleasing.


    Meadow knew that her husband had made a call to ask Adam back, but she hadn''t expected that


    her son would bring her future daughter-inw back home. She quickly came forward and took


    Anthea''s small hand in a very friendly way. "Happy New Year! You''re carrying so many things?"


    Adam answered for his sweetheart, "I went to the supermarket with Anthea, and we bought some


    foods."


    The shopping bags were ced on the dining table. They mostly contained beef, seafood,


    vegetables, as well as other fresh ingredients.


    The Spring Festival period was the most important festival in the year. During this period it would be


    wise to bring a lot of gifts when you visit someone''s home."


    Last time when Anthea came to the Chin Family, she was in a hurry and did not make any


    preparations. This time, a rival in love of her would also be present, and therefore Anthea certainly


    had to behave properly!


    Meadow was very curious about the things Anthea brought about. Generally speaking, gifts for a


    visit of the New Year''s Day would just be foods or medicines of highly nutritious value. It was the


    first time for Meadow to see so much beef, seafood, etc as gifts for the New Year''s Day.


    Amelie''s gaze swept through the shopping bags and could not help but frown.


    Worried that Anthea Lee''s intention might sh with hers, Amelie pretended to be calm and asked,


    "Miss Lee, you know how to cook?"


    Meadow also looked at Anthea and asked in surprise, "Really? Anthea, are you good at cooking?"


    "No, I''m not..." Anthea scratched her head awkwardly.


    Amelie secretly breathed a sigh of relief and sneered silently in her mind. He felt that Anthea was


    going to harm herself by her own doings. "Then why have you bought these foods?"


    A deep voice sounded, "I''ll do it."


    Anthea added with curved eyebrows, "I''ll help him!"


    Hearing this, Amelie nced at Meadow who was nearby.


    Sure enough, Meadow reacted with a loud exmation. "What? Adam''s going to do the cooking?"


    Just when Amelie thought that Meadow would be dissatisfied with Anthea''s answer, she suddenly


    saw Meadow''s eyes shining and heard her saying excitedly, "I never know Adam can do the


    cooking...Anthea, does Adam always cook for you? God... It''s so romantic!"


    "Humph... Bemy has never cooked anything for me in my whole life!" Meadow thought.


    "..." Amelie''s face darkened.


    Wasn''t it Meadow Who was praising her for being good at cooking just now?


    Amelie clenched his fists and nced at Adam.


    Not long ago, when she and Adam were climbing the mountain, she asked him to cook some


    noodles for her. However, Adam refused her for the reason that he had promised his girlfriend he


    would cook only for her, and nobody else. Anthea was the only girl in the world that Adam would


    cook for!


    Meadow also had realized that the atmosphere among Amelie, Adam, and Anthea was a little


    tense, and therefore she took the initiative to break the silence. "Amelie, just now you said that you


    could arrange flowers. I happen to have a pot of flowers in my room that hasn''t been arranged yet.


    Come over there with me to have a look at it!"


    Amelie was then almost dragged upstairs by Meadow, leaving only Anthea and Adam in the kitchen.


    After the foods were transferred from the bags to the marble table, Anthea looked around and saw


    the soup pots on the stoves with boiling soups. They must have been made by Amelie.


    Anthea smiled and show two dimples.


    In the morning, after Adam mentioned that he would take her home together, Amelie got up


    immediately and packed berthings up hurriedly. After lunch, she began to worry about what to bring


    to Adam''s parents as the gifts. Adam drove her to the supermarket and suggested that they could


    buy some foods for dinner, which was more thoughtful and practical.


    At that time, Anthea had no ideas what to do next, and could onlypletely listened to his


    suggestion.


    Now that she was in the Chin Family, Anthea suddenly realized why Adam suggested that. His


    father, Bemy Chin, must have mentioned to him on the phone that Amelie woulde over to his


    home to cook the dinner!


    Amelie looked away from the stoves and looked out of the kitchen. While no one was around, she


    stood on tiptoe and secretly kissed Adam.


    Adam was a little distracted by the intimate contact. He simply embraced her waist and put his


    hands on her hips.


    He lowered his head and kissed her passionately.


    The sun was setting in the evening. All the dishes were ced on the table by the servants one


    after one.


    Except for the pigeon soup and stewed beef ribs cooked by Amelie, the rest of the foods were all


    cooked by Adam. None of the servants were allowed to help him. They could only go in to help after


    the stoves were turned off.


    Bemy, who had finished his work in his study, was now sitting in his seat of the head of the family.


    When Bemy took his seat, he chatted and joked with Amelie. However, when he saw that Anthea


    was sitting next to Adam, his eyes became sharpened and his smile faded, which made him more


    sternlooking.


    "Adam, if you want to bring someone back home next time, you should tell us first!" Bemy


    reprimanded his son for not abiding by the rules of being an obedient son.


    Bemy was a little unhappy. He had asked Amelie toe to the house because he wanted to be


    a peacemaker for her and his son, and he also hoped topensate for the unhappy things that


    had happened when the two families were having dinner togetherst time. However, his son


    brought his girlfriend back directly without telling them in advance!


    Adam seemed not to have heard his father''s words. He just reminded his sweetheart, "Anthea, I


    think you should eat more. You''re too slender!"


    Anthea clutched her chopsticks and dared not answer anything.


    She simply felt that her boyfriend''s father''s nose was bingrger andrger out of unvented


    anger!


    "Yes... Anthea, I also think you should eat more!" Meadow added at the right time to adjust the


    atmosphere and also to change the topic. She noticed that her husband was going to say


    something else again. "Why you are thinner thanst time I saw you? You are so young and still


    growing up. You should eat more and get fatter if possible. Try the beef. It''s so delicious... I just


    tasted it!"


    "Thank you, auntie!" Anthea said gratefully.


    Meadow almost piled up the small dishes in front of Anthea with delicious foods. Later, she


    suddenly realized that there was another girl on the dining table who had a crush on Adam, and


    quickly turned her head. "Oh, Amelie, you should also eat more!"


    "Thank you, Auntie!" Amelia replied in the same way. However, her smile was a little unnatural.


    The dinner was finally finished.


    Bemy, who was annoyed by his meddlesome wife and disobedient son, left the dining table first.


    He even did not say "goodbye" to Amelie. He simply went back upstairs without saying anything. As


    the saying went,

    "What eyes do not see is regarded as clean."


    After saying "goodbye" to Meadow, Adam took Anthea''s hand, and the two of them left.


    The army-green jeep was parked in the center of the yard with a red car next to it. Adam opened


    the door of the front passenger seat for Anthea. As soon as Anthea sat in, Amelie, who was


    dressed in military uniform, also came out of the vi.


    She passed by the red car and went straight to Adam and Anthea.


    She then said to Adam, who was ready to close the car door, "Adam!"
