Chapter 1228


    Adam moved away the champagne cup and put two delicate pastries on Anthea''s te.


    Then, he used the fork and put the pastry near her mouth.


    As she thought that no one was paying attention to them, Anthea had a mouthful of the pastry, and


    the rest was eaten up by Adam.


    However, Amelie indeed had been looking at them all along.


    Out of anger and jealousy, her fingers curled up hard, and her nails sank deeply into the skin and


    flesh.


    What on earth did Adam like about Anthea?


    Amelie could not understand it: Other than being young and beautiful, she could not find any other


    advantages in Anthea. She believed that at least she would have an overwhelming advantage over


    Anthea in terms of general conditions. Why? Why could Anthea attract Adam so deeply, that others


    would barely believe it?


    Amelie was unwilling to admit failure. She consoled herself that Adam was just too lonely, or that it


    was just a whim for him to fall in love with Anthea!


    Bemy Chin, Adam''s father, had invited her again and again. It was obvious that this old man was


    on her side. He wanted her to be his daughter-inw in the future.


    Amelie tried to calm herself down.


    There was an old man who was watching Adam and Amelie when they chatted, and he also noticed


    that Adam walked back to Anthea after talking with Amelie. This old man was none other than


    Bemy Chin, Adam''s father.


    His wife, Meadow, frowned andined to him, "Bemy, why did you invite Amelie here


    again?"


    "Why couldn''t I? " Bemy snorted.


    Meadow argued, "Can''t you see Adam''s attitude clearly? He doesn''t have any feelings for Amelie as


    a lover. He obviously likes that little girl, Anthea. It''s so embarrassing for you to invite Amelie here!"


    Bemy said, "I just want that girl called Anthea to know who''s the more suitable girl to be with


    Adam. I want her to give up!"


    "You just don''t like Anther for being so young!" Meadow pointed out.


    "How to you know that?" Bemy scoffed. "You''re an old woman now, but your wisdom has not


    increased as you got older! Anthea''s just a naive young girl. How can she stay with our son on a


    lifelong basis?


    Adam is a soldier, and Anthea''s just like a flower in a greenhouse. She hasn''t even stepped into


    society yet. It''s true. Now she likes Adam, but can you guarantee that she will love him forever?


    "What''s more, it''s very risky to work for the military. Adam might encounter all kinds of dangerous


    situations at any time. Could Anthea help him to deal with them? Is it so easy to be a military


    spouse?


    "But Amelie is quite different. She''s about the same age as Adam, and grew up together with him.


    They''re both working for the military. It will be easy for them to bnce their life and work if they get


    married!"


    Meadow was speechless for a while, and then she retorted.


    "You''re such a stubborn and old-fashioned donkey, Bemy!


    Anthea finally chose to drink a ss of Coca-C, and did not eat any other things. She was simply


    afraid that if she ate too much, her stomach would be bloated under the dress, and therefore


    she would be less good-looking in the banquet.


    Someone walked up to them. He was a servant from the Chin Family. "Young Master, the Old


    Master asked the two of you to go over there!"


    "Okay." Adam nodded.


    Bemy asked Adam and Anthea to go over there to meet him. They walked over together.

    Bemy stood together with his wife, Meadow. In front of them was a foreign man about forty years


    old. His eyes were blue, and he was tall and strong. He seemed to be a veteran. From the attitude


    of Bemy and Meadow, it could be deduced that this foreign man should be a distinguished guest


    tonight.


    Amelie was also there.


    She bent down and held up a little boy, who was a mixed-race child. It seemed that this was the son


    of the foreign man.


    As a female soldier, Amelie had to receive military training all the year round. Her arms were thus


    very strong. It was not hard for her to hold up such a seven- or eight-year-old child, and she could


    hold him steadily. The little boy seemed to like her very much. He embraced her neck and did not


    want to let go.


    Adam whispered in Anthea''s ear, "This man is Hank, an officer from the air force of German. He


    was despatched to our country for militarymunication. He used to work with my father, and they


    have be good friends. The boy''s his son."


    Anthea nodded.


    They stopped, and Anthea stood by Adam''s side in a lovely manner.


    When Bemy saw theming, he deliberately ignored Anthea''s existence, and only introduced


    Adam and Amelie to the foreign man.


    After they shook hands, the foreign man looked at Adam with appreciation and gave him a thumbs-


    up while speaking.


    Adam responded with a gentle voice, "Danke fur das kompliment, ich fuhle Mich geehrt. (Thank you


    for yourpliment. I feel honored.)"


    He spoke with standard pronunciation of German, just like a movie star from that country.


    Anthea looked at him with sparkling eyes.


    "Adam''s terrific!


    "His ent is hot."


    Anthea felt that there was no limit to her boyfriend''s capabilities and charming features!


    It seemed that Amelie had often attended such asions. She was very good at German too, and


    her oral German was fluent. When the three men were chatting together, she asionally could say


    a sentence or two. The atmosphere of talking was very good.


    Even Bemy''s eyes were filled with satisfaction when he looked at Amelie. He praised her


    generously, "Amelie, you''re really talented in learning a foreignnguage! You can speak several


    foreignnguages fluently. This is awesome! I feel very proud of you, as I have watched you grew


    up!"


    "Uncle Chin, thank you for encouraging me!" Amelie replied humbly.


    "You deserve it! You''re much better than some other little girls who are not good at anything!" As


    Bemy finished saying, he deliberately nced at Anthea from the corners of his eyes.


    His tone, his words, and his eye expressions implied that he was trying to embarrass Anthea.


    Anthea blinked her long eyshes, looking more like an innocent and naive girl.


    In fact, she knew the fact that between she and Amelie, Bemy obviously liked thetter more.


    Amelieughed mockingly in her heart.


    She raised her red lips and deliberately turned to look at Anthea with a smile. "Miss Lee, will you


    feel bored when we are chatting? If you don''t understand ournguage, you may just feel that you


    can''t join us. How about taking a rest over there?"


    Her eyes fell on Anthea''s face, as if she was very considerate to Anthea.


    If anyone looked at Amelie now, he/she would think that she was really a kindhearted girl.


    Anthea narrowed her eyes.


    She then took a step forward, showing two shallow dimples.


    She nodded slightly at the foreign man and slowly said, "Hallo, Mr. Hank, Willkommen in


    Califorania! Ihr Sohn 1ST sehr suli! (Hello, Mr. Hank. Wee! Your son is lovely!)"


    Hank naturally felt happy to be ttered. He was especially pleased because Anthea praised his


    son.


    "Danke, schone Frau! (Thank you, beautifuldy!)" Hank stuttered.


    Anthea smiled politely and replied, "Nichts zu danken (You''re wee!)"


    Amelie''s face froze as if she had been pped by an invisible hand.


    Bemy looked at Anthea in surprise.


    "Anthea, how can you speak it, too?" Meadow pulled the edge of Anthea''s clothes, also in surprise.


    She was a little excited.


    Anthea got closer to Meadow and blinked her eyes wittily. She then put on a sly smile and said in a


    low voice, "Haha...! Auntie, actually, I can only say two or three sentences!"
