The corners of Emerson's lips rose slightly, and he laughed like a playboy. "Okay, I will temporarily not fix my eyes on her."
Then, he took out a box of cigarettes from his trouser pocket.
He picked up one and passed it to Adam, but the latter didn't take it.
Adam's pupils suddenly contracted.
"What did you mean by 'temporarily'?" He thought angrily.
Adam's black eyes glanced at Emerson, as sharp as a blade. He warned in a low voice, "Don't think about it also in the future. I'm the master of my house."
Emerson put the cigarette into his mouth. After lit it with the lighter, he leisurely spat out a mouthful of smoke and deliberately provoked, "Who can predict what will happen in the future? Adam, what if she doesn't like you anymore a year or two years later? She is still so young now, and the future is changeable. Who knows when she will change her mind?"
Adam didn't get angry. Instead, he laughed in a low voice. "Haw-haw."
Adam was so calm that he didn't seem to be affected by Emerson's words at all. He seemed to be quite sure of Anthea's loyalty.
Emerson couldn't help but think of the white and tender skin exposed after Anthea's collar was unbuttoned. That part of her body was covered with ambiguous red marks...
At this, Emerson felt annoyed and suffocated.
He flicked the cigarette ash vigorously and realized why Adam was so confident in front of him just now. He sneered and added, "There is a saying, 'even if you get a woman's body, you may not be able to win her heart!' Do you understand what I mean?"
Adam glanced at him calmly.
Without being angry, he replied casually, "Anthea is coming back soon. You should put out your cigarette. We're getting ready for pregnancy."
"..." Emerson's face darkened.
Second kill by one single sentence!
Emerson felt suffocated again because of his unvented anger.
After washing and drying her hands, Anthea walked back directly. She was slightly worried about Adam and Emerson being together without her existence.
Seeing that the two men were still sitting in their seats, just like when she left, Anthea was slightly
relieved.
After sitting down again, Anthea felt that the atmosphere was not quite normal. The whole expression of Emerson, who was sitting next to her, was especially strange. He was smoking a cigarette. When the smoke was blown out, his tongue seemed to be stuck on his cheek, and his jaw was bulged out. It looked as if he was a little annoyed.
She leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Adam, is Young Master Chiang all right?"
"He's fine." Adam's lips curled slightly.
Anthea nodded and didn't think much of it again.
By the time they finished the barbecue, the sun was already setting in the west. In the evening, darkness fell early in winter in the north. It was already dim outside of the window at this moment.
One of the assistants, who had been waiting in the distance, looked at his watch, and then opened the French windows on the top floor.
At the moment when the window was opened, a bunch of fireworks suddenly broke out in the sky.
"Peng..."
The loud sound echoed for a long time.
After that, beams of light jumped up to the night sky, and then these fireworks bloomed one after another, almost lighting up the entire sky.
At first, Anthea was shocked. Then, she realized that Emerson's assistants were playing fireworks. She happily pulled Adam to the window to have a look.
Emerson put out the cigarette in his hand and followed the two of them.
"Oh, my God... It's so beautiful!" Anthea whispered.
"Do you like fireworks?" Adam's eye expressions were meaningful.
"Of course!" Anthea nodded with a smile and hugged his arm excitedly. "Adam, look over there. It looks like a rose. It's so romantic! This is the first time for us to watch fireworks. I'm so delighted!"
Emerson, who was standing next to them, was speechless.
