Purchased A Mr. Right novel Chapter 1119

Anthea hastily halted her footsteps.

But it was too late. She tried very hard, while her body swung a few times, before she finally succeeded in avoiding collision with the man. However, now the distance between the two of them was very close, approximately a few centimeters.

Declan Schain turned around and saw that Anthea was very close to him. He was very amazed.

"Anthea?"

Anthea replied awkwardly. "Hiya, Declan..."

Declan saw that she was staggering, and reached out to support her at the first time. "Anthea, are you okay?"

"I'm fine!" Anthea shook her head.

"It's so dangerous!" Anthea thought.

Fortunately, she responded in time, otherwise, it would result in an even more awkward and embarrassing situation!

It was really hard to see the man clearly because of the darkness at night. Anthea had just mistaken Declan for Adam, and as there was no one else passing by, she tried to pounce on him without thinking carefully beforehand...

"You didn't get hurt on your ankle, did you?" Declan lowered his head and asked with concern.

"No... No... No!" Anthea shook her head like a rattle drum. She took half a step back and stuttered, "Ahem... Brother Declan, I was just joking a short while ago. I wanted to give... you a surprise..."

Declan waved his hand to show that he didn't mind.

Just now, he touched her hands, and they were so close to each other. He could smell the fragrance from her. Declan's face turned slightly red. "Anthea, how do you know that I'm coming to see you?"

Declan did come here to wait to see Anthea.

But when he was still hesitating and couldn't figure out how to ask Anthea to come down, he heard footsteps behind him. When he turned back, he suddenly saw Anthea's two arms hanging in mid-air, with a panicked expression.

Anthea tried to concord a good answer, "I just... came out to take a breath of fresh air..."

"Oh... That's how it is!" Declan was convinced by her answer and didn't suspect her anymore.

"Declan, what can I do for you?" Anthea asked.

"Nothing special... to tell you the truth." Declan's eyes flickered unnaturally. He then scratched his head and added, "Anthea, did you see Captain Chin during the military training? Isn't he your uncle-inlaw? I haven't expected that he would turn out to be the general instructor!"

"Well..." Anthea nodded shyly.

It was much more than "seeing her Uncle Chin"... In fact, Anthea had hugged and kissed her Uncle Chin many times...

The light was dim. Declan didn't notice the change of Anthea's whole expression. Instead, he was only harassed by his own uneasiness and hesitation. He asked tentatively, "Did Captain Chin tell you anything?"

Declan worried that as the uncle-in-law Captain Chin might have advised Anthea not to associate with him, or not to pay attention to any hint of admiration from him.

Declan felt that he might have to face the pressure from elders of Anthea's family, such as Adam, if he wanted to go after Anthea!

"Eh?" Anthea was stunned by his question.

"I was just... curious about it!" Seeing that Anthea was surprised, Declan let out a sigh of relief.

Declan then smiled shyly, took out a tube of aloe vera from his pocket, and handed it to her. "This is a gift for you, Anthea! I saw that your skin had become a little red because of sunshine during military training. This aloe vera can help you protect your skin! I know that girls like you will have skincare products, but this one is special. It was produced in my hometown. It works very well. You can have a try!"

Anthea originally wanted to refuse his gift, but hearing that the aloe vera was produced in Declan's hometown, she thought it might be unpolite not to accept this gift. "Well... Thank you, Declan!"

She took it and put it into her pocket.

"You're welcome!" Declan was happy to see that his gift was accepted by Anthea. He knew it was getting late. Although he really wanted to talk to her a little more, in order to behave like a gentleman, he said, "Anthea, I think it's time for you to have a rest. I won't bother you anymore. Good night!"

"Good night, Brother Declan!" Anthea nodded.

Declan then left. He turned around at every few steps and waved to her from time to time.

Anthea politely nodded her head as a sign of courtesy.

When the two of them were saying goodbye to each other, a tall and strong figure was coming over from not far away.

Adam's mobile phone suddenly rang at this moment. He picked it up and put it by his ear. Before he could speak, Carter's frantic voice came from the line. "Captain Chin, things are not going well. I have something very urgent to tell you!"

Adam applied for the transfer order suddenly, and handling of the relevant procedures was done very quickly.

Carter had been following Adam since he joined the army, and therefore he also wanted to come back after Adam was transferred back. However, the handling of the relevant procedures by Carter was a lot slower. Now he still hadn't finished them yet, and he would have to wait for a few more days before he could come back.

"Speak." Adam replied in a low voice.
