Not long after Anthea returned home with Erik, the sound of opening the door came from the entrance.
Then, a tall and strong figure appeared in her sight.
Sitting on the sofa and eating the doughnut, Erik saw Adam and immediately shouted in a crisp voice, "Daddy!"
Adam nodded, changed into his slippers and walked in.
Anthea blinked in surprise. "Adam, why are you back so early?"
She heard that he was having a meeting in the military region and that he might not come back for dinner, so she decided to call for a takeout just now.
Adam kept his countenance and said, "Well, the meeting was over ahead of time."
Anthea nodded and pulled his big hand, acting like a spoiled child. "Honey, go cook quickly. Erik and I are both hungry! We both desire hot pot! We want mushroom soup."
Adam looked at his innocent son and then looked down at his lovely wife.
It was the same as usual.
His clenched fishts slowly relaxed.
After receiving Carter's call, Adam came back in a hurry. Now he calmed down and thought it was ridiculous. Carter spoke and acted on hearsay. How dared he spread rumors! How could Anthea cheat on him?
No way!
Adam raised his hand and touched her head. "Okay, I'll make it."
He took out the ingredients and cooked mushroom soup for hot pot. The family of three ate a hot pot.
At nine o'clock in the evening, Erik climbed into bed on time and was coaxed to sleep by Anthea.
In the study room of the master bedroom, Adam was sitting alone at the desk.
He held a cigarette in his hand and held his phone in his other hand. Carter's noisy voice was coming from the line, "Hello! Captain Chin! How is it going? Did you ask Athean? Was she shocked, afraid, or panic? Did she tell you the truth?"
"Ah, by the way, don't say that it was me who told you. I don't want to be a bad guy!"
The corner of Adam's mouth twitched slightly. "Nonsense."
"I didn't!" Carter denied and emphasized, "She might really cheat on you. I'm 99% sure! She went on a date with someone today, and the other party is a man. The point is that they have done something very intimate!"
"This kind of absurd plot is often seen in TV series. I have watched it many times with my wife. I'm telling you, Captain Chin, you have to be mentally prepared. This is a marriage defence war..."
Adam directly hung up the phone.
At this time, the door was pushed open from the outside, and Anthea walked in with a smile.
She held a glass bowl in her hand which was filled with sweet red bean soup. She walked to him and said in a delicate voice, "Erik drank up the remaining sweet soup that night. I kept half of it for you!"
Hearing that, Adam smiled.
After watching him finish sweet soup, she saw the phone and asked casually, "Was it Brother Carter's call just now?"
Adam nodded and said, "Yes."
When she just came in, she seemed to hear some sounds, but it was not clear. She just felt that he was speaking very fast and excitedly.
Anthea asked with concern, "What's the matter? Why is he looking for you?" "Nothing." Adam said calmly.
Hearing this, Anthea nodded and did not ask any more questions.
The next day was Sunday.
The sun came in through the window, and the dust in the room was like a fairy, flying in the light.
When Adam returned to the master bedroom from the kitchen, he saw Anthea standing in front of the mirror, fully dressed. Her upper body was slightly bent, and she was puting on lipstick with a small pink lipstick in her hand.
He was slightly surprised. "Anthea, are you going out again today?"
Anthea nodded while putting on lipstick. "Yes! Erik is going with me!"
