Soon after that, footsteps could be heard coming from the hallway.
Meadow was very delighted to hear that, and her face seemed to have become brighter. She quickly walked out of the kitchen to greet the newcomer.
Amelie also heard the footsteps. She put down the pot in her hand and followed Meadow out happily.
When they just came out of the kitchen, Adam had already entered the dining room. He had changed into casual clothes. Although his clothes were light gray in colors, he still looked mature and calm. His tall and strong figure could virtually make any clothes more attractive.
Amelie's eyes were almost shining, but when she caught sight of the girl holding Adam's hand, her facial expression froze instantly.
Anthea greeted Meadow obediently. "Auntie, Happy New Year!"
Meadow was surprised to see her, and at the same time, she couldn't hide her amusement. "Oh...
Anthea is here too!"
Two shallow dimples appeared on Anthea's cheeks. She did not have a ponytail today. Instead, her long hair freely covered her shoulders. Her face looked young, lovely, and particularly pleasing.
Meadow knew that her husband had made a call to ask Adam back, but she hadn't expected that her son would bring her future daughter-in-law back home. She quickly came forward and took Anthea's small hand in a very friendly way. "Happy New Year! You're carrying so many things?"
Adam answered for his sweetheart, "I went to the supermarket with Anthea, and we bought some foods."
The shopping bags were placed on the dining table. They mostly contained beef, seafood, vegetables, as well as other fresh ingredients.
The Spring Festival period was the most important festival in the year. During this period it would be wise to bring a lot of gifts when you visit someone's home."
Last time when Anthea came to the Chin Family, she was in a hurry and did not make any preparations. This time, a rival in love of her would also be present, and therefore Anthea certainly had to behave properly!
Meadow was very curious about the things Anthea brought about. Generally speaking, gifts for a visit of the New Year's Day would just be foods or medicines of highly nutritious value. It was the first time for Meadow to see so much beef, seafood, etc as gifts for the New Year's Day.
Amelie's gaze swept through the shopping bags and could not help but frown.
Worried that Anthea Lee's intention might clash with hers, Amelie pretended to be calm and asked, "Miss Lee, you know how to cook?"
Meadow also looked at Anthea and asked in surprise, "Really? Anthea, are you good at cooking?"
"No, I'm not..." Anthea scratched her head awkwardly.
Amelie secretly breathed a sigh of relief and sneered silently in her mind. He felt that Anthea was going to harm herself by her own doings. "Then why have you bought these foods?"
A deep voice sounded, "I'll do it."
Anthea added with curved eyebrows, "I'll help him!"
Hearing this, Amelie glanced at Meadow who was nearby.
Sure enough, Meadow reacted with a loud exclamation. "What? Adam's going to do the cooking?"
Just when Amelie thought that Meadow would be dissatisfied with Anthea's answer, she suddenly saw Meadow's eyes shining and heard her saying excitedly, "I never know Adam can do the cooking...Anthea, does Adam always cook for you? God... It's so romantic!"
"Humph... Bellamy has never cooked anything for me in my whole life!" Meadow thought.
"..." Amelie's face darkened.
Wasn't it Meadow Who was praising her for being good at cooking just now?
Amelie clenched his fists and glanced at Adam.
Not long ago, when she and Adam were climbing the mountain, she asked him to cook some noodles for her. However, Adam refused her for the reason that he had promised his girlfriend he would cook only for her, and nobody else. Anthea was the only girl in the world that Adam would cook for!
