In the evening, the setting sun in the west enveloped the Hsu family's villa.
After getting out of the taxi, Anthea walked inside listlessly. When she stepped into the yard and saw the jeep parked there, she suddenly held her breath.
She pinched her fingers, and walked faster.
When she entered the gate, a servant came up to her, gave her slippers and went back to report her arrival at the same time.
There was no one in the living room because it was dinnertime. Master Hsu was in the dining room. Anthea walked straight to there.
A few days ago, Madam Jiles had gone to visit her relatives who had immigrated abroad, so there were only three people in the house at this time.
In the distance, she saw Master Hsu sitting on the main seat, Jayden Hsu on the left, and the familiar figure on the right. Even though he was sitting, he couldn't hide his tall figure. With tableware in his slender hands, he looked handsome as usual.
When he looked at her with his black eyes, Anthea lowered her eyes subconsciously.
She didn't dare to look him in the eye.
Master Hsu looked at her lovingly, "Anthea, you are here!"
"Grandpa!" Anthea called out to him in a lovely manner.
The rich aroma of the delicacies wafted in the dining room. There was a sumptuous meal on the table, and it seemed that they had just began.
Master Hsu asked her in a gentle voice, "Anthea, have you eaten yet?"
Anthea had already eaten on the way here, but she shook her head against her heart, "I haven't..."
Hearing this, Master Hsu immediately ordered, "Housekeeper, add a set of tableware to Miss Anthea!"
Servant in the kitchen took out a set of tableware and placed it next to Jayden. Anthea went over and pulled out the chair to sit down. She said in a muffled voice, "Uncle Jayden."
Jayden was a little impatient, but due to the presence of the Master Hsu, he had to make a beautiful window-dressing and have a snort.
Seeing that Anthea and Jayden finished talking, Master Hsu smiled and reminded her, "Anthea, why don't you say hello to your Uncle Adam? Didn't you see him?" "Uncle Adam..." Anthea finally raised her head and pursed her lips to Adam.
Adam put down the cup of water in his hand and replied calmly, "Em."
Jayden didn't pay much attention to the extra person at the table, and he continued, "Adam, I heard that it's about time for the army recruitment! A boss I know has a son always making trouble. He wants to sent the boy into the army to get tempered!"
"He can fill in a sign-up form," Adam said in a low voice.
"Okay, I'll tell him later!"
"Okay."
Listening to the two talking to each other, Anthea put rice into her mouth.
In fact, her stomach was full and she couldn't eat anything. She just wanted to find an excuse to sit down.
In the midst of her dreamy thoughts, she heard Master Hsu's kind voice, "Anthea, you must get relaxed after the exam, right? Is there anything you want to learn, or is there any place you want go? I find graduation trip and summer camp quite popular recently. Do you want me to sign up for you?"
"Thanks, grandpa!" Anthea shook her head, "I've found a part-time job recently."
Hearing this, Master Hsu was surprised and frowned again, "Part-time job? If you are short of money, you could just tell me!"
Anthea explained with a smile, "No, I just want to take the opportunity to temper myself!"
"Wouldn't that be tiring?" Master asked with concern.
"It wouldn't, grandpa!" Anthea shook her head again, secretly glancing at the opposite side from the corner of her eyes.
Adam was picking up a piece offish and picking out fishbones. He was focused on the fish and didn't hear nor gave any concern to the conversation between her and her grandfather.
Anthea clutched the chopsticks in her hand, feeling like stifled.
