"Alright." Adam replied calmly.
He continued to peel the eggs in his hands and looked expressionless.
Anthea rolled her eyes around, and there was an air of slyness in them. She deliberately slowed down the speaking speed. "We talked to each other for a long time. Brother Declan also told me something special! He said that he actually liked me in the past, and he deliberately served as the instructor of the military training program of the medical college. He wanted to pursue me there. However, his plan of pursuing me was broken by someone! Oh, my God... I didn't know it all the time!"
A hint of unnaturalness was revealed on the handsome face of a certain military officer. Anthea stared at Adam with a cunning look. "Honey, don't you want to tell me something about it?"
Adam said shamelessly, "I don't remember it." Anthea twitched her lips and didn't argue with him further.
She held her chin with her hand and slowly smacked her lips. "Hey... But Brother Declan had indeed changed a lot. If he hadn't taken the initiative to tell me who he was, I wouldn't have recognized him! He was much more mature and handsome than before. He was also very awesome! He had already been promoted to be a major in the army..."
In the past, Declan was only an ordinary soldier who joined the army only for a year. In the army, if his family background was not good enough, it would not be easy for him to get promoted.
Take Adam for example. He had never relied on his father's influence in the military. He had fought with his own hands and blood for today's achievements. Thus it could be seen that Declan was really a promising young officer in the army.
Before Anthea could finish her words, two boiled eggs were inserted into her mouth.
Her cheeks were bulging because of the eggs.
Adam had put the freshly peeled eggs into her mouth, a childish movement. Now Anthea could only make strange noises when she tried to speak.
Her son and daughter, Erik and Lil Star, were snickering at her.
Their father was usually a calm and serious man, especially when he was wearing his military uniform. As a military officer, Adam gave others the impression of being dignified and powerful. Wherever he went, he had a domineering aura. Only in front of their mother would their father do such a childish thing.
That's why their mother called him Three-year-old Adam.
Anthea swallowed one of the boiled eggs with great difficulty. She glared at him angrily. Then, she thought of something and smiled happily. "I almost forgot to say that Brother Declan is going to hold a party this weekend, and he had invited me to go there!"
"You're not allowed to go." Adam's face darkened.
Anthea shrugged. "But I have promised him!"
Adam was speechless."..."
At the weekend...
Cars were parked outside the hotel. Near the entrance, a reception lady was leading each guest into the hotel.
Anthea made herself up meticulously today. She was wearing light makeup.
Although she was under the domineering influence of Adam, she was still wearing a long skirt, without revealing her legs. This skirt befitted her curvy figure very much, and she looked gorgeous. The champagnecolored clothes made her look like a beautiful porcelain doll, although there were only a few ornaments on them.
She stood there, holding her two children's hands.
The two little guys were both outstanding in appearance. Their delicate little faces were just like those of little boys and girls in advertisements.
The passers-by often couldn't help but look back. The mother and her two children constituted an impressive scene.
Lil Star asked, "Mom, are we not going in?"
Anthea answered, "Dad is coming!"
Hearing this, Lil Star was a little puzzled. She said fluently, "But didn't dad say that there would be meetings in the military region all day long."
Anthea smiled without saying anything.
Before long, a jeep with a military licence plate arrived.
The smile on Anthea's face deepened. The door of the driver's seat opened, and a man wearing a military uniform and a pair of military boots jumped out of the jeep. He was Adam. He walked towards his wife and children.
When Anthea looked straight at him with her clear eyes, Adam clenched his fists near his mouth and coughed. "The meeting was canceled temporarily."
Anthea didn't nail Adam's lie on the counter.
