Looking at the back of Emerson, Anthea's little face looked very serious.
The wrinkles between Adam's eyebrows were also very deep.
After Master Hsu introduced Anthea as his granddaughter in public at the party, Adam saw that the little girl was worried, and that's why he asked her out.
When he saw that her little face was upset, Adam's heart ached. He just wanted to comfort her and shelter her from the wind and rain. For a moment, the two of them ignored the surrounding environment and failed to notice that a man was lurking nearby.
Although Adam was a military officer with natural vigilance, Emerson also had had good performance in the army. Even if Emerson was retired now, his capabilities were still there!
In comparison to Adam's calmness, Anthea was very anxious. "Adam, what should I do now? He had seen us!"
She didn't forget the fact that Adam and Emerson were deadly foes!
Master Hsu had told her about the hostility between them. When two foes meet each other, the hatred between them would gain over human reasoning. If Emerson wanted to take revenge on Adam, he could report to the army what had happened between Adam and his niece-in-law. The consequences would be unimaginable!
After all, most people would not miss such a golden opportunity.
Adam frowned and seemed to realize the same tricky problem.
Anthea stamped her feet anxiously.
She was gritting her teeth. At present, she couldn't figured out a proper solution, and could only try her best. "I'll talk to him!"
Anthea ran out of the storage room.
When Adam wanted to stop her, she had already run far away.
When Anthea caught up with Emerson from behind, she said,
"Young Master Chiang!"
Emerson walked slowly as if he knew that Anthea would come after him.
He turned around and teased, "Little girl, you're so bold!"
Anthea pursed her lips and said nothing. She was still thinking about countermeasures.
Emerson's eyes were fixed on Anthea's palm-sized face. It was delicate and beautiful, with some feeling of baby fat. She was so close to him that he really wanted to reach out and pinch her lovely face.
When his eyes fell on her soft and pink lips, his pupils shrank.
In fact, when Anthea left the villa and went to the backyard, Emerson stealthily followed her.
All the way along, Anthea was followed by Emerson, who hadn't expected to see the intimate scene between Adam and her. Emerson was shocked immediately, yet he stayed there and heard the conversation between them completely. Even when the two of them were kissing each other, Emerson didn't go away.
Anthea's pink lips were now like blooming peach petals, and the traces of her having been kissed by Adam were obvious.
Emerson narrowed his eyes. "Little girl, I haven't expected your boyfriend to be Adam Chin."
When Anthea told him at the party that she had a boyfriend, Emerson actually didn't believe it. He thought that it was simply an excuse of her. Unexpectedly...
Anthea gasped when she heard Emerson's sarcastic words.
She looked around vigilantly and asked with a frown, "Young Master Chiang, can you do me a favor?"
Emerson raised his eyebrows and saw through her mind immediately. "You want me to pretend I didn't see anything and don't tell anyone else?"
"Yes!" Anthea nodded and asked uncertainly, "Can you do it for me?"
She was actually not sure whether Emerson would do her this favor.
She was just worried that Emerson would retaliate against Adam on purpose. That's why she tried to catch up with him and stopped him. She wanted to negotiate with him, or even beg him to do so.
Anthea's brain was running fast at the same time. She was reflecting upon a plan: If Emerson refused to keep it a secret, they could only take the hard measures if the soft ones didn't work!
For example, she might ask Adam to tie Emerson up with a sack and ropes, and then gave him a sound thrashing in order to force him to keep it a secret!
"Okay." Emerson replied.
Anthea was stunned and couldn't believe it. "Are you telling the truth?"
Emerson nodded happily, but he suddenly added,
"Well... I have a requirement."
