Chapter 1259


    Bang!


    Adam smacked the table hard.


    The entire wooden table shook and buzzed, but it wasn''t enough to express how much joy Adam


    was feeling.


    Adam looked out of the window at the bright afternoon sun. He almost wanted to open the window


    and jump out from the third floor to tell the whole world that he was going to be a father!


    "Anthea is pregnant!" Adam blurted out.


    "I am going to be a father. Anthea is pregnant!"


    "We are going to have a baby!"


    Carter was as excited as Adam, pping his hands, "Captain Chin, congrattions! It is great


    news! You''re going to be a father!"


    Adam put his hands on the edge of the table with his eyebrows raised.


    Carter thought for a while and said, "Captain Chin, did Anthea break up with you because of her


    pregnancy? Anthea is young, and she''s still at school. Maybe Anthea isn''t ready to be a mother yet.


    Therefore, after she realized that she was pregnant, she must have been very nervous. That''s why


    she vented her anger on you. You are the father!"


    "And my mother told me that women''s moods would be unstable after they are pregnant. They often


    get angry for no reason. When my mom was pregnant with me, she wanted to divorce my father


    almost a hundred times!"


    "Would the pregnancy be the reason?" Adam wondered.


    In the beginning, Adam thought it was because of Master Hsu''s death that Anthea was so


    desperate and emotional that she lost her temper and broke up with him. But after hearing what


    Carter said, he thought his words seemed to make sense.


    No matter what, Adam could not calm down.


    He felt more and more excited.


    Adam said happily, "Carter, help me to take a leave from the leading cadre. I''m going back now!"


    He grabbed the car keys and ran out of the office.


    Adam almost drove at the highest speed, rushing back.


    "Baby, baby."


    Adam kept repeating in his mind.


    Adam had thought about having a baby with Anthea but never thought of having it now, feeling that


    Anthea was still young and had notpleted her studies. Knowing that Anthea was pregnant,


    Adam thought that it was like a gift from heaven. He was so excited that he was at a loss for words.


    He had even begun to arrange things for Anthea in his mind.


    "She is pregnant, so she can''t continue to attend sses. She needs to take a suspension of


    schooling."


    "The apartment needs to be refurbished. The floor tiles need to be changed into the anti-slips ones,


    and we need to hire a nanny."


    By the time Adam entered the city, the sky had already turned dark.


    On the way, Adam noticed a baby shop. He hurriedly stepped on the brakes and stopped at the


    roadside.


    Then Adam walked into it.


    The store was with bright lights. There was a carpet on the floor, and the products on the disy


    shelves looked adorable.


    The shopping guide greeted Adam warmly. She was respectful when she saw him in the military


    uniform. But she was also a little shy because of his handsome appearance. She asked, "Mister,


    what can I do for you?"


    "I want to buy something," Adam added, "It''s for my baby."


    "How old is the baby? A boy or a girl?" The shopping guide asked.


    "It''s not born yet," Adam was excited.


    The shopping guide understood and smiled, "So it is for the soon-to-born baby. Mister, pleasee


    with me. I will rmend it to you!"


    Adam had never entered a baby shop. Everything was new and novel.


    The shopping guide helped him pick out a few things that a newborn baby would need. The basket


    was full of soft-colored products. Adam touched them carefully for fear of damaging them.


    When he was paying the bill at the cashier, he saw a bookshelf at the side and asked, "Does a


    pregnant woman need to read these books?"


    "Yes! They are about fetal education. And some of them are for fathers to read so that they can take


    care of the pregnant women better!" The shopping guide replied.


    Adam reached out to the bookshelf and grabbed one book, two books, three books...


    Each book had a beautiful baby picture as its cover. However, looking at the pictures, Adam felt that


    his child with Anthea would look prettier because Anthea was so beautiful.


    Adam bought a lot of books.


    Adam knew it was hard for a woman to be pregnant. Therefore, he nned to read the books with


    more words and let Anthea read the others with more pictures so she wouldn''t be too tired.


    Adam couldn''t stop thinking about the baby, nning everything. He had been looking forward to


    the next five years and even the next ten years.

    Adam felt that he had been bewitched, but he was so happy that he didn''t want to wake up.


    When the jeep drove into the university, the street lights lit. Adam had to slow down. There were not


    many people on campus. When he reached the girls'' dormitory and was about to call Anthea, he


    saw her slim figure from afar.


    Adam frowned.


    Emerson was standing with Anthea.


    When attending Master Hsu''s funeral, Adam also saw Emerson by Anthea''s side in the cemetery.


    He was everywhere!


    Anthea and Emerson were standing under the old banian tree. Their nting shadows were on the


    ground.


    Adam jumped out of the jeep and strode to them. Under the moonlight, his figure looked tall and


    strong.


    As the night breeze blew, Adam felt a chill. Only then did he realize that the clothes on his back


    were soaked with sweat. It turned out that he was also very nervous. As Carter said, he was going


    to be a father!


    Both Anthea and Emerson were stunned when they saw Adam.


    When leaving Anthea and Adam alone, Emerson saw Anthea''s pale face and said hesitantly,


    "Anthea, be calm and talk to Adam!"


    "Okay..." Anthea nodded.


    Emerson nodded to Adam and drove away.


    Anthea looked at the ground as if she didn''t dare to look at Adam, "In fact, I don''t want you to find


    out that Emerson and I are having an affair in case we would both feel bad. But since you saw us, I


    won''t hide it anymore! I broke up with you because I''ve fallen in love with Emerson. It''s my fault. But


    I hope we could part friends!"


    Adam strode to Anthea with his figure casting a shadow over her.


    After hearing such heartless words, he almostughed out of anger.


    "We part friends as you are bearing my baby?!" Adam pointed at Anthea''s forehead with his index


    finger and said, "Anthea, you''re pregnant!"


    Adam''s voice was calm.


    Anthea was stunned.


    Adam knew it!


    Soon, Anthea thought of Kaylee. Kaylee must have told Carter.


    Anthea felt bitter on her throat, with emotions surging in her chest. When Adam mentioned the


    pregnancy, she almost copsed on the spot.


    Adam rubbed her head with his palm and frowned as he put on his military jacket, "I won''t argue


    with you on you wanting to break up. Anthea, you''re pregnant now, but why do you wear so little?


    Be careful not to catch a cold. You''re a medical student, you..."


    "I had an abortion!" Anthea interrupted suddenly.


    She didn''t dare to shout for fear that the tears on her eyshes would fall, "Emerson apanied


    me to do it. You can ask him if you don''t believe me!"


    Adam suddenly became silent.


    He said, "Anthea, say it again."


    The moonlight shone on his face, making his handsome face cold and hard.


    Adam approached with his eyes looking deep and staring tightly at Anthea.


    With her palms sweating, Anthea gritted her teeth and said, "The baby... I had an abortion!"


    Adam looked expressionless and stone-cold.


    For him, it was heaven down to hell.


    The bright light in Adam''s eyes faded away bit by bit.


    He had to clench his teeth to keep himself from roaring.


    Anthea clenched her hands and said, "In fact, I''ve always been under pressure. When I was with


    you, I was always afraid that our rtionship would be exposed someday and be med. But


    people won''t me you. However, I''ll be miserable and med by everyone. But when I''m with


    Emerson, I won''t have such a burden!"


    "He is romantic and knows how to make me happy. When you were not around me, I couldn''t resist


    his courting. And the two days after grandpa passed away, he stayed with me!"


    Anthea told a lie.


    She used Emerson as an excuse.


    Emerson showed up tonight to send her the visa.


    Anthea wanted to follow Vincent but failed to get the visa. When she came out of the conste and


    met Emerson, she asked for help. As expected, Emerson managed to get her the visa in less than a


    week.


    Anthea rolled her eyes and continued, "And, I''m going to study in Country M. Since you''re here, I


    can say goodbye to you. Emerson arranged it for me. He will do his business there for the second


    half of the year!"
