"Grandpa..." Anthea lowered her head even lower.
She felt ashamed and did not dare to face the old man's loving eyes.
Master Hsu was indeed very disappointed, but more distressed.
When such a thing happened, most times, women were the one to be to blame.
Men would at most be labeled as romantic while women would be labeled as notorious. Besides, Anthea was so young and Adam was such a promising soldier...
The Hsu and Chin families were not small families. They were both native big families. Everyone was watching them.
If his son-in-law became a grandson-in-law, that would be a joke!
Master Hsu held the coffee cup tightly, blue veins standing out on the back of his hand. He said in a sharp tone that had never been seen before, "Anthea, I don't want you to live a life of being gossiped by everyone every day. You are still young. You are just blinded by love!
"It doesn't matter if you make a mistake. Just
correct it in time. I hope that Adam and you can break up with each other once and for all. From now on, don't interact with each other!"
As expected, Master Hsu, like Bellamy, opposed them.
She had expected that it would be like this, but it was still so difficult to face it.
Anthea lowered her head and remained silent.
Seeing that she was stubborn and refused to agree, Master Hsu couldn't believe it. He looked at his granddaughter and said in a trembling voice, "Anthea, how did you become like this?"
"How many times do I have to emphasize it? He is your uncle-in-law!" Master Hsu's chest rose and fell. He loved Anthea and was always kind to her. It was the first time that he was so angry and spoke so harshly, "The public will not let you go and all the accusations will be directed at you. You will received all kinds of looks and criticism in the future!"
"Others will say that you misbehaved and seduced your uncle-in-law! You don't need to care about it for one day, one month or one year. But what about ten years, twenty years, or even thirty years? Are you sure you want to do this all your life?"
Anthea's sitting posture was stiff.
She felt cold in her heart.
It was like being soaked in the river water of winter, cold and breathless.
Her hands under the table were covered on the flat lower abdomen. Although she couldn't feel anything, thinking of the little living thing, she sniffed and said in a humming voice, "Grandpa, I am already an adult, and I will be responsible for my decision!"
At this time, she was young and brave, having the impulse to sacrifice herself for love.
As long as she could be with him, she would not be afraid of any effort.
"How are you going to take responsibility?" Master Hsu got excited uncontrollably. "How can I face your dead father? Anthea, if you still think of me as your grandfather, listen to me!"
Anthea's eyes were full of tears.
She bit her lips so hard that they turned pale. Looking at the sad and disappointed look on the old man's face, she knew how unfilial she was at this moment. She cried and said, "Grandpa, I'm sorry..."
Not daring to stay for another second, Anthea stood up and ran away.
She walked very fast and hastily.
She pushed open the coffee shop door and Master Hsu followed behind her. However, due to his age, his physical strength was far inferior to hers and he was left behind.
It was there o'clock in the afternoon and the sun was shining brightly outside. There were not many cars and pedestrians on the road.
Anthea did not dare to stop. Though it was red light, she wiped her tears and crossed the road. It was really difficult and ashamed for her to face Master Hsu.
After running to the opposite side, she turned her head and saw Master Hsu standing on the other side.
Anthea turned her head in a hurry.
The signal light turned green, and Master Hsu walked quickly in front of everyone.
At this time, a lost-control off-road vehicle suddenly ran a red light.
