"Alright." Adam replied calmly.
He continued to peel the eggs in his hands and looked expressionless.
Anthea rolled her eyes around, and there was an air of slyness in them. She deliberately slowed down the speaking speed. "We talked to each other for a long time. Brother Declan also told me something special! He said that he actually liked me in the past, and he deliberately served as the instructor of the military training program of the medical college. He wanted to pursue me there. However, his plan of pursuing me was broken by someone! Oh, my God... I didn't know it all the time!"
A hint of unnaturalness was revealed on the handsome face of a certain military officer. Anthea stared at Adam with a cunning look. "Honey, don't you want to tell me something about it?"
Adam said shamelessly, "I don't remember it." Anthea twitched her lips and didn't argue with him further.
She held her chin with her hand and slowly smacked her lips. "Hey... But Brother Declan had indeed changed a lot. If he hadn't taken the initiative to tell me who he was, I wouldn't have recognized him! He was much more mature and handsome than before. He was also very awesome! He had already been promoted to be a major in the army..."
In the past, Declan was only an ordinary soldier who joined the army only for a year. In the army, if his family background was not good enough, it would not be easy for him to get promoted.
Take Adam for example. He had never relied on his father's influence in the military. He had fought with his own hands and blood for today's achievements. Thus it could be seen that Declan was really a promising young officer in the army.
Before Anthea could finish her words, two boiled eggs were inserted into her mouth.
Her cheeks were bulging because of the eggs.
Adam had put the freshly peeled eggs into her mouth, a childish movement. Now Anthea could only make strange noises when she tried to speak.
Her son and daughter, Erik and Lil Star, were snickering at her.
Their father was usually a calm and serious man, especially when he was wearing his military uniform. As a military officer, Adam gave others the impression of being dignified and powerful. Wherever he went, he had a domineering aura. Only in front of their mother would their father do such a childish thing.
That's why their mother called him Three-year-old Adam.
Anthea swallowed one of the boiled eggs with great difficulty. She glared at him angrily. Then, she thought of something and smiled happily. "I almost forgot to say that Brother Declan is going to hold a party this weekend, and he had invited me to go there!"
"You're not allowed to go." Adam's face darkened.
Anthea shrugged. "But I have promised him!"
Adam was speechless."..."
At the weekend...
Cars were parked outside the hotel. Near the entrance, a reception lady was leading each guest into the hotel.
Anthea made herself up meticulously today. She was wearing light makeup.
Although she was under the domineering influence of Adam, she was still wearing a long skirt, without revealing her legs. This skirt befitted her curvy figure very much, and she looked gorgeous. The champagnecolored clothes made her look like a beautiful porcelain doll, although there were only a few ornaments on them.
She stood there, holding her two children's hands.
The two little guys were both outstanding in appearance. Their delicate little faces were just like those of little boys and girls in advertisements.
The passers-by often couldn't help but look back. The mother and her two children constituted an impressive scene.
Lil Star asked, "Mom, are we not going in?"
Anthea answered, "Dad is coming!"
Hearing this, Lil Star was a little puzzled. She said fluently, "But didn't dad say that there would be meetings in the military region all day long."
Anthea smiled without saying anything.
Before long, a jeep with a military licence plate arrived.
The smile on Anthea's face deepened. The door of the driver's seat opened, and a man wearing a military uniform and a pair of military boots jumped out of the jeep. He was Adam. He walked towards his wife and children.
When Anthea looked straight at him with her clear eyes, Adam clenched his fists near his mouth and coughed. "The meeting was canceled temporarily."
Anthea didn't nail Adam's lie on the counter.
She just nodded and said, "Come on... Let's go in!"
As soon as the four of them entered the
hotel, Adam's handsome face had been tightened.
He stretched out his long arms and circle Anthea's waist in a domineering way, as if he was declaring possession of this woman.
After Anthea noticed Adam's intention, she smiled secretly.
When they came to the designated banquet hall, they felt that the atmosphere there was happy and lively. A large poster of a newly-married couple was placed on one side of the hall. At that moment, Adam realized that this was not an ordinary party, but an appreciation banquet for Declan's wedding.
Anthea had deliberately misled him, saying that it was a "party".
Adam held her waist tighter and stealthily pinched her soft loin. It was just a tender pinch. He didn't want her to really feel pain.
He whispered to her, "I'll settle with you tonight."
Anthea gently covered her chest with her hands.
"I'm so scared!" She thought.
She was really worried about herself tonight. After the two of them got married, it turned out to be that Adam had a lot of tricks on the bed to "maltreat" her!
As for the banquet, it was indeed not one visited by a lot of rich and powerful people, or even celebrities. It was just a simple appreciation banquet for Declan's marriage. It was a coincidence. Declan's wife was a northerner. After their wedding was held in Francis city, they went back to the wife's hometown to hold this appreciation banquet.
On that day, Declan went to the hospital to fetch some medicine for his mother-in-law. He happened to meet Anthea, and therefore he invited the latter to attend the banquet.
The appreciation banquet was much simpler than the wedding ceremony. After the opening speech of the host, Declan and his wife came up to the stage. They introduced their love story and expressed their gratitude to the guests.
Anthea looked at her daughter, who kept stuffing delicious food into her mouth. She reminded her daughter in a low voice, "Lil Star, how dare you eat so many things! Look down and see how your little belly looks like now! Be careful... Your belly might explode!
"Mom is not just scaring you... You really mustn't eat anymore, or you'll become a little fat girl!"
Lil Star said confidently, "Brother said that even if I become a little fat girl, he wouldn't dislike me! Isn’t it, brother?"
Erik removed a grain of steamed rice from the corner of her mouth and said, "Well... I don't mind!"
"Hehe!" Lil Star smiled and revealed a row of small white teeth. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
Anthea also smiled helplessly.
After all, this was a banquet outside of their home. She finally decided to allow her daughter to eat and drink as she liked.
As Declan was a military officer, it could be seen that his wife's family members respected his career type very much. Declan was also very delighted that he was liked by so many people. Through the microphone, he declared to everybody that his childhood dream of serving the country as a soldier had been realized, and it was his great honor to be in the army.
As the wife of a military officer, Anthea listened to his speech with great enthusiasm and emotional resonance.
Out of curiosity, she gently asked her son, "Erik, what’s your dream?"
Little Erik was looking at the stage with shining eyes. He then turned around to his father, who was also wearing a military uniform, and replied in a firm voice, "I also want to be a soldier when I grow up!"
His biological father was a martyr.
After Anthea and Adam took him back home and adopted him as their son, they never avoided mentioning his biological parents. On the bedside table in Erik's room, there was a photo of his natural father who had sacrificed himself for serving the country.
The blood of the soldiers also flowed in Erik's body, and therefore it was not surprising that he answered Anthea in this way.
Anthea turned her face to her daughter and asked, "Lil Star, what about you?"
Lil Star, who had been enjoying herself in eating, looked up and replied with a smile, "Hehe... I want to be a soldier's wife!"
Anthea was speechless."..."
Adam didn't know what to say.
Erik lowered his head, and his ears blushed.
