Chapter 1304
When the evening lights were lit, a jeep shuttled through the neon lights at a constant speed.
It was no longer the peak hours when others left from work, but the jeep was moving very slowly.
On the road, Adam drove very slowly to wait for every traffic light ahead to turn red, so he could
stop, stalling for time. Lots of cars around had overtaken his jeep.
Neither of them spoke a word on the way. Only the calm and sweet voice of a radio host with the
love songs flowed in the car.
No matter how slow Adam drove, the jeep still reached the destination.
Anthea nced at the apartment building aside and looked down, saying, "Here we are..."

"Alright," Adam said, his Adam''s apple bobbing slightly.
As the car door opened with a click, Anthea silently unfastened her seat belt.
After saying goodbye to him, she got off the car and walked into the building.
She took out the key and opened the door.
After Anthea changed into slippers, she walked to the window.
She opened a corner of the curtain and loooked downstairs. The green military jeep was still there.
Under the dim streetlights, it looked like a crouching beast.
Its window was half-opened. Anthea saw a strong arm stretch out with a cigarette between the
slender fingers. Large clouds of smoke drifted out from the car and dispersed in the streetlights.
Anthea leaned against the wall and crouched down.
She also wanted to smoke, but then she remembered that he had taken away her cigarette boxst
time.
At this time, a warm feeling came from the back of her feet.
Anthea lowered her head and saw that Soba, thebrador, rubbed its small head against her feet. It
was looking at her with its pair of dark eyes. What a lovable dog!
She held it in her arms, gently cuddled it, and put half of her face on it.
Like Adam, it brought her a warm feeling.
Anthea did not want to let it go.
The night was quiet, and her cell phone on the floor
was ying music.
The clear and affectionate voice of the male singer rang out, "Let me be your man. I''ll stay awake
24 hours a day. I carefully maintain this kind of passion for you. No matter how noisy the world is,
let''s hug each other tightly..."
The servants in Chin''s Mansion seemed to be very familiar with Amelie. When they saw her, they
greeted her warmly and reported to her, "Young master is not at home. The madam is having a nap
in the bedroom, and the master is in the study!"
Amelie nodded. "Okay!"
She had long gotten used to it. She seldom met Adam here. Even if he was at home, he would only
stay in his room and barely spare her time. So, she frequently visited Chin''s Mansion only to build a
closer rtionship with his parents.
Thest time when Bemy knew he drugged her, he treated her with indifference.
Thus, Amelie deliberately stayed away from them for a while, hoping that Bemy would cool down
and let this matter go.
After changing into slippers, she went straight upstairs.
The servant walked before her and knocked on the door of the study.
Bemy had just returned from the military region, and he was still wearing his military uniform with
his military cap on the desk. He had an aura of dignity, though he was enjoying his free time at
home. At this time, with his sleeves rolled up to his elbows, he was writing calligraphy with rapt
attention.
The servant reported, "Master, Miss Celestin is here!"
Bemy frowned slightly and nodded. "Let her in."
Amelie put on a meek expression and walked in obediently. "Uncle Bemy!"
"Um," Bemy gestured her to a chair.
But Amelie did not take her seat. Instead, she walked to the desk.
She wrung her hands in front of her and stood there straight. Suddenly, she sniffed, and her eyes
turned red in an instant, withrge drops of tears falling down.
Amelie was dressed in military uniform. Usually, she looked courageous and spirited. But now, she
looked so pitiful with tears.
Bemy was taken aback when he saw her like this.
In any case, besides being a man, he was also an elder. Seeing a young woman crying in front of
him, he would feel sorry more or less.
"Amelie, why are you crying?" Bemy frowned.
She did not cry bitterly. Instead, she kept squeezing out tears and sobbed out in a husky voice, "I
know, what I''ve been doing recently has disappointed you... I''m sorry, but I was wrong!"
"I have been ashamed these days. How could I lose my head because of love and do such an evil
thing!"
"Adam was right. I should not have worn the military uniform, and I do not deserve to be a military
officer. So, I''ve already submitted an application to the army and given up my promotion. I''ll punish
myself by not going to be promoted in five years!"
Bemy did not expect that. He put down the brush in his hand and looked at her in surprise.
"Amelie, are you sure you want to do that? If nothing goes wrong, you might be promoted to a field
officer next year!"
In the army, a high military rank was a tremendous honor.
Amelie was outstanding in all aspects and was a promising candidate for next year''s promotion.
"Yes, I''ve made up my mind!" She nodded heavily and sobbed from time to time. "If I don''t do this,
my conscience will hurt me, and I can''t forgive myself! Please forgive me. I''ve realized my mistake,
and I''m sincerely repenting!"
She maintained a low profile and pled with a regretful and painful expression.
Bemy nodded. "Yes, I see!"
Amelie wept silently for a while before she stopped crying.
Like Adam, she had always been talented and proud. She was always cold and arrogant wherever
she went. If it weren''t for the fact that she had no way out and wanted to eliminate Bemy''s grudge
against her as soon as possible, she wouldn''t have used such an embarrassing strategy!
After chatting with Bemy in the study, she took the initiative to visit Meadow in the bedroom, who
had woken up.
Just like before, she stayed for dinner and chatted with Adam''s parents in the living room for a long
time. When night fell, she got up and left.
Celestin left the vi. When she was about to step out of the yard, she turned back.
The servant who was sorting out the sundries in the courtyard saw this and nodded to her.
"Miss Celestin, what''s wrong?"
"My watch has been left behind!" Amelie touched her empty wrist.
In the evening, to restore her decent image, she cooked many dishesboriously without asking the
servants for help. It would be inconvenient to wear a watch when cooking, so she took it off and put
it beside the pool.
Subconsciously, she nced at her watch and realized that she had forgotten to take it.
The servant asked, "Shall I fetch it for you?"
Amelie still hoped to marry into the Chin Family in the future. She did not leave a hard-to-approach
image to the servants here. Thus, she smiled and shook her head. "It''s okay. You just deal with your
work! I''ll go and get it!"
When the servant heard this, he nodded and continued to do his things.
Amelie returned to the vi.
Most servants were busy in the courtyard, leaving only one to serve in the living room. Amelie
walked through the hallway herself.
Bemy and Meadow were still sitting on the sofa, with hot tea on the tea table. The couple were
seriously talking about something.
