Take Control of Yourself, Please novel (Anna and Liam)

Chapter 135 Let Me Explain...

Anna raised her head and glanced at Liam, who was sitting opposite to her.

She could not decipher the riddles bounced around between Liam and Grandmother Dawson.

"Eat more." Liam gestured at the food on her plate.

Anna held back her urge to burp. She mumbled quietly, "Didn’t you come all the way here just to eat the food from the Dawsons’ kitchen? They prepared all this food for you, but I don’t see you eating much at all."

On the other hand, she had eaten quite a substantial amount of food. Her little belly was already bulging.

Liam shot a glance at Anna. "It's enough for me to fill you up."

Anna's cheeks grew warm. Why did his words sound s o disagreeable? Moreover, it was the kind that could easily be mistaken as an inappropriate innuendo!

"What are you waiting for? Eat up," Liam commanded coldly.

The corner of Anna's lips twitched. "I can't eat anymore! Eat by yourself."

She stood up, wanting to leave. However, Liam stopped her.

"Where are you going?”

"The washroom!" She had eaten a little too much.

"What for?" he asked.

Anna endured the urge to shout Duh!' at him. She smiled at Liam and answered, "To use the toilet, of course."

Liam's expression turned dark. He shoved away the plates in front of him. He had lost his appetite.

"Hold it in!"

'Pft! What?'

"You’re not allowed to go!"

The great Ackman Prince had given out his command.

"Why?!" Anna asked, not knowing if she should be laughing or crying.

"I don’t need a reason! No means no!" Liam ended up being the one getting annoyed. His expression was as dark as the sky before a storm.

Anna was speechless.

It seemed like that two-faced man was born to be her nemesis. He kept restricting her, yet not only did she have no way of opposing him, but she also lacked the courage to do so.

"I really need to use the washroom," she grunted softly.

"I advise against going now."

"Why?" She blinked her big and moist eyes.

This time, Liam was actually angry. "Do you know why turkeys die?"

Anna blinked her big eyes again.

"Because of their own stupidity!” Liam growled.

Anna furrowed her brows.

Liam stood up and drew close to Anna. Terrified, she cautiously took two steps backward.

"Don't you think you should give them some space to get the release they want? Can’t you read the mood!" Liam lowered his voice and scolded in a tone as cold a s ice.

He had no intentions of being so blunt, but that woman was too infuriatingly stupid.

Anna was stunned. When she finally snapped out of her daze, she widened her eyes in shock.

"How did you know?”

Liam felt like he could die from exasperation. Bryan and Chloe were being so obvious-even Grandmother Dawson got all the hints. Even so, that stupid woman was ignorant of everything.

"Because you're stupid!"

"This is the Dawson family mansion!" Anna could not imagine Bryan being so recklessly bold.

"The two of them had gone off for so long, yet you didn't notice a thing? You stupid woman!"

He called her stupid again!

Anna pouted her dainty lips. "I know I'm stupid! You don't have to keep reminding me!"

"Brainless!"

Anna’s eyes were turning red from all the insults." You’re right! I should eat more brain food!"

She turned away angrily. Her sorrow did not stem from whatever Bryan and Chloe were doing. Instead, she was grieving about the tone of disdain in Liam's angry words.

It must be true, right?

He always called her dumb and stupid-he must have looked at her with contempt. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Just as Anna was storming out of the dining hall, Liam grabbed her from behind and pulled her into his embrace with ease.

A soft sigh from Liam sounded above her head.

"What can we do to rid you of this stupidity?” 1

Anna was staggered. She wanted to push away from his wide embrace but the warmth of his arms made her a little greedy. She wanted to hold him even tighter.

She held back the lump in her throat and stayed compliantly in his arms. Her big and misty eyes glistened. After a long while, she finally spoke.

"Let go of me. The maids will see us."

"No one will see us."

"Why?"

How many times did that dumb woman need to ask why?

"James is outside the door. No one will dare to come i n," he explained patiently.

Anna returned his hug. Her tiny hands wrapped tight around his narrow waist. Her dainty face pressed against his firm chest.

She was in desperate need of a hug. She needed a sense of security to soothe the confusion and indecision in her heart.

At the end of the day, the relationship between Bryan and Chloe was still a huge blow to her self- esteem. It made her feel helpless and defeated.

"Why are you hugging me so tightly?" Liam was quite delighted, yet his tone remained arrogant.

"Me? You're the one hugging me." Having said that, she wrapped her arms even tighter around him.

"Did you miss me a lot?"

"No way! I can’t even remember who you are." Anna leaned against his chest and listened to his strong heartbeat. The emptiness in her heart was instantly

filled.

After so many days, she had missed him a lot.

What about him?

Was he always thinking about her as she did?

He had the heart to not contact her for so many days. Even when they met each other, he still exuded the same cold aura. Alas, he was a creature that only thought with the thing between his legs. He would only think about her when he was filled with lustful desires.

She did not want to be his provider of physical release; she only wanted to be the little lady by his side.

Despite that...

He seemed to not harbor that sort of feeling toward her. It was simply wishful thinking on her side alone.

Liam did not say anything after that. He silently held her in his warm embrace.

She did not speak either. She was quietly indulging in the scent on his body and the wholeness of his physical being. It temporarily soothed the pain in her battered heart.

Grandmother Dawson knocked on the washroom door and called out, "Bryan, come out for a second."

Bryan's whole body quivered. He was so shocked that he almost went limp.

He frantically tidied up his clothes and gestured at Chloe to keep her mouth shut. He was afraid that she might make some sounds.

Bryan was horrified. He scanned the entire washroom and hurriedly pushed Chloe into a hidden corner of the washroom. He warned her to not say a word or leave that spot. Finally, he opened the door nervously and exited the washroom.

Grandmother Dawson’s sharp eyes scanned the entire washroom. She did not see Chloe, but she already had a clear grasp of everything in her heart.

Grandmother Dawson shot a fierce glance at Bryan. " Come with me!"

Bryan hurriedly followed behind Grandmother Dawson. He subtly glanced back at the washroom, afraid that she might see Chloe. If that were to happen, he would have no chance to defend himself.

Nonetheless, at that moment, it seemed like Grandmother Dawson had already figured something out.

The color drained from his face. His legs trembled slightly.

"Get over here!" Grandmother Dawson returned to her room and scolded when she saw Bryan standing frozen at the door.

Bryan's whole body quivered. He hurried over

anxiously.

The moment he stepped through the doorway, a loud smack landed on the side of

his face.

"Grandma..."

"Don't call me Grandma!” Grandmother Dawson's expression changed with fury. The gaze from her murky eyes was as sharp and as piercing as knives.

Bryan trembled in fear. Her voice quivered uncontrollably. "Grandma... Let me explain...”
