Emerson selected a western restaurant.
The decoration of the restaurant was very stylish, but there were not many customers. Piano was played. This place was for rather higher-classes.
Emerson was sitting languidly, leaning back with his legs crossed. He did not look annoying but evilly handsome.
Anthea couldn't help thinking, "The past six years did not leave any trace on him. Just like Adam.
"God is so unfair!
"Aging even made them more charming."
Realizing that she thought of Adam for no reason, Anthea quickly pulled back all her thoughts.
Emerson said with a sigh, "Little girl, you are getting more and more beautiful!"
Anthea had always been beautiful and smart. At this moment, after losing her childishness, she was more feminine.
Even she did not try hard to dress up, she was still like blossom that have revealed her beauty completely. She was as enchanting as a fairy and seemed to be able to force back all the elegance in
the world.
Emerson stared at her palm-sized little face and could not take his eyes off her.
"Young Master Chiang..." Anthea frowned.
Emerson laughed lazily and said, "Little girl, don't be so nervous! You look at me with such caution as if I want to have sex with you! Don't worry, I just want you to have dinner with me!"
Anthea's mouth twitched, "I saw your fiancee. She's quite a match for you!"
When Emerson heard this, he laughed, "It's just arranged by my family. It's just a business marriage!"
"Ah?" Anthea was surprised.
Emerson winked at her, "Do what interest requires!"
Anthea was speechless.
Emerson took a sip of lemon water and looked at her with a faint smile, "Little girl, you have to treat me well for today's meal. I was hit twice for you!"
"... Twice?" Anthea was puzzled.
"Yes!" Emerson said slowly. "When I returned home from Califorania after finishing my business there, Adam came to me in the middle of the night because he knew of our breaking up!
"He scolded me for abandoning you and said that I was sorry for you, and he taught me a lesson with his fist! He beat me harder than before. I didn't fight back because I had to keep your secret and I took the blame for six whole years. How are you going to thank me?"
Anthea was stunned.
She did not know that such a thing had happened.
How should Adam went for Emerson?
Anthea felt extremely guilty, "Young Master Chiang, I'm sorry..."
"It doesn't matter. I volunteered to help and I will help you to the end. I was just joking with you!" Emerson said lazily.
Adam held the glass tight and did not let go for a long time.
Emerson saw that she remained collected on the surface, but her drooping eyelashes were trembling, which was a sign of thinking.
He took the menu from the waiter and flipped through it, pretending that nothing had happened. He changed the topic, "Little girl, I heard that the T-bone steak here is good. Would you like to try it?"
"Okay!" Anthea nodded.
After they ordered the meal, the waiter nodded and left with the menu.
While waiting for the dishes to be served, her cell phone rang.
After Anthea picked it up, she looked hurried and said apologetically, "I'm really sorry, Young Master Chiang! There's a phone call from the hospital. There's an emergency operation. I have to go back!"
"It doesn't matter!" Emerson said with a faint smile. His eyes were slightly dark, with an imperceptible trace of loss.
