Chapter 1227


    The car quickly drove away and soon it was out of sight.


    Anthea frowned at this.


    Adam returned with a te of cakes and asked, "What are you looking at?"


    "Nothing!" Anthea shook her head and pointed at arge dog outside the window, which was


    submissively sitting near the zebra marking. It was tied with a dog leash, the end of which was held


    by its owner. They were waiting for the green light. "I suddenly feel that the dog is so lovely! I also


    want to have a dog."


    "Do you like dogs so much?" Adam looked at Anthea in surprise.


    Anthea nodded and said, "You don''t like dogs?"


    Adam replied slowly, "I like what you like."


    He felt that it was enough for them to have a baby cat at home.


    But as long as his little girl liked and wanted a dog, he would unconditionally like the dog, too.


    Anthea''s little face looked slightly shy. She could not control herself but reach out to hold his big


    hand across the table. She then said sweetly, "Let''s keep a dog after my graduation! I want to have


    a Labrador Retriever. I like it very much!


    "I watched a foreign movie before. The hero and heroine had a Labrador Retriever. When they go


    back home every day after work, the dog would pick up their slippers and put them near the door! I


    think we are going to live together with our dog in the future!"


    Now that she is still a student, Anthea had to live in the school after school began. In this case, she


    won''t have enough time to take care of the dog.


    Adam smiled and said, "It''s okay."


    Anthea showed him two lovely dimples.


    When she lowered her head to eat the cake, she could not help looking at the opposite side of the


    street again.


    Carter, who had witnessed the two of them disying their love, twitched his lips as a silent protest.


    "Humph...When I finally be the boyfriend of Nurse Yanni, we''re going to show off our love


    every day too!"


    ...Carter thought.


    After the legal holiday ended at the 7th day of the Lunar New Year, Anthea decided not to stay at


    home every day.


    There were still more than ten days before the beginning of school. Anthea had already arranged


    everything, that she would go to the hospital as a medical intern of the Emergency Department with


    her teacher, Vincent Zanon. ording to her current qualifications, she could not do many things in


    the hospital. She could only work somewhat like a volunteer.


    Originally, Adam won''t agree with such an arrangement, but he was also afraid that Anthea might


    feel bored at home. In addition, the intern work would not cost her a long time every day. For this


    reason, Adam finally allowed her to work in the hospital. He repeatedly warned her not to run too


    fast. Every day, she could hear advices like "how to recover from your injury with a cautious


    attitude" from him again and again.


    One evening, when Anthea was about to get off work, she came down from the stairway and met a


    beautiful nurse.


    The nurse greeted her shyly. "Hey... Do you still remember me!"


    Anthea blinked her eyes and was amazed.


    The nurse added, "That day I had a blind date with Carter, and I noticed that he always nced at


    you from the corner of his eyes. Later I asked Carter why, and he told me that your boyfriend was


    his superior, and he treated you like his sister-inw. Carter told me he had invited the two of you to


    supervise the date for him!"


    "So you must be Nurse Yanni?" Antheaughed. It was such a coincidence.


    The nurse was embarrassed. "My name is Kaylee Yanni. You can call me Kaylee!"


    Anthea had learned from Carter that Nurse Yanni was just about to graduate from college. She was


    a senior, while Anthea was a sophomore, and the two of them were about the same age. As they


    had be more familiar with each other, Anthea thought it would be inappropriate to call her


    "Nurse Yanni" all the time.


    Anthea nodded happily. "Then you can call me Anthea, and I''ll call you Kaylee. You looked happy


    when you mentioned Carter. It seems that the two of you are getting along well with each other!"


    "Carter''s a nice person!" Kaylee suddenly felt embarrassed.


    Just then, the phone rang. It seemed as somebody from Kaylee''s department was calling her. After


    saying goodbye to Anthea, Kaylee hurried away.


    Anthea walked out of the emergency hall.


    As she walked down the concrete steps, she saw that the military-green jeep had been waiting


    there.


    Adam was dressed in a handsome military uniform, and he was wearing military boots. There was a


    cigarette between his slender fingers. He was leaned against the car. Though the weather was


    getting warmer day by day, it was still rtively cold now. The white smoke of cigarette and mist


    swirled around Adam''s eyes and brows, making him look extremely enticing.


    Anthea suddenly thought of Adam''sments on giving up cigarette smoking before.


    At this, her face blushed. She lowered her head and walked over quickly.


    Adam opened the car door for her and waited for her to sit down. Then, he walked around the front


    of the car.


    Noticing that Adam''s eyes were fixed on her, and he did not say anything, Anthea tilted her head.


    "What''s up?"


    Adam put out the cigarette and said, "There will be a banquet of our family tonight. I have to go. My


    father also invited you."


    "Uncle Chin also invited me?" Anthea was very surprised.


    "Yes..." Adam nodded and asked after a pause, "Anthea, will you go with me?"


    Anthea turned her head away slightly and frowned.


    "Will Amelie Celestin also be there?" "Yes," Adam replied.


    Sure enough, Anthea had guessed it!


    Thest time they had dinner together, it could easily be seen that Bemy Chin liked Amelie very


    much, and the two of them had many things to talk about. Anthea believed that Bemy would


    definitely invite Amelie in the part, but she hadn''t expected Bemy would also invite her. Anthea


    was afraid that the purpose of inviting her was not so simple!


    However, if Anthea refused to go there, Bemy would have a good excuse to me her for being


    unpolite...


    Anthea quickly reflect upon it and said, "I''ll go!"


    Adam drove Anthea home first, and there she changed into formal clothes. Then, they went to the


    hotel.

    When they arrived, the banquet had just begun.


    Bemy was weing guests with his wife, Meadow. It was only a small banquet because the


    Chin Family did not want to waste money.


    Anthea walked in hand in hand with Adam.


    Adam had changed his military uniform into other clothes, but he was still wearing the military boots.


    As usual, Anthea was wearing a wine-colored dress, looking rather old-fashioned. However, as she


    was still young, and her skin was white, the old-fashioned dress seemed to have be more


    special and charming.


    Less than two minutes after they came in, Amelie, who was wearing a long dress, came forward to


    greet them.


    ’Adam!"


    Different from usual, tonight Amelie had dressed up gorgeously and looked like apletely


    different person—different from being a female soldier. She had put on exquisite makeup, and was


    wearing a fishtail evening dress. This dress provided a perfect outline of her charming figure.


    When Amelie came over, many men''s eyes were glued to her.


    However, Adam''s eyes merely swept across her.


    Anthea looked at Amelie calmly and did not give her any chance to speak first, "Adam, you can talk


    to Amelie. I''m hungry. I want to go over there to eat something!"


    Adam thought for a while and nodded.


    After finishing her words, Anthea confidently walked to the long table next to them.


    Seeing that Anthea did not care about her existence at all, Amelie felt as if her heart had been


    stabbed by a dagger. She was especially angry with the fact


    that Anthea did not regard her as a threat at all,


    How could Anthea be so confident?


    It was not because Anthea had be more confident, but because Adam had made her feel


    more assured.


    "What''s up?" Adam asked in a low voice.


    Amelie noticed that his attitude towards her was nonchnt. She felt like she was being treated as


    a stranger by Adam. He did what he had saidst time, namely, to treat her like a stranger.


    The unvented anger caused Amelie to feel annoyed, but she could not appear to be angry with


    Adam. She could only say helplessly, "Adam, I just want to exin to you that I didn''t want toe


    here myself. Uncle Chin called me and invited me toe here. I had no choice, so... don''t be


    unhappy!"


    "No." Adam was still indifferent.


    After saying that, he added, "I have to go now."


    He walked to the long table and reached for the champagne cup held in Anthea''s hand. It was


    obvious that he cared about her very much.


    Anthea shrugged and said, "I just smelled it. I don''t want to drink it!"


    What if she drank too much wine? Anthea was clear-minded about what she should do in such a


    banquet!
