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

Chapter 145 Welcome

Chloe ran back to her room and cried bitterly while Nicole anxiously paced back and forth.

"What's the use of crying now!”

"But what do we do now? I was genuinely set up!” Chloe’s face was full of tears as she threw the pillow i n her arms. She imagined the pillow as Anna and she wanted to rip it to shreds.

"I know you’ve been set up but your father doesn't believe that. Besides, what can we do without any evidence!"

"So I’ll just have to accept it? I refuse to let this go.”

"Even if you refuse to, you still have to! At this moment, Anna is the victim here in everyone’s eyes and you're the greatest villain!”

Chloe went mad with anger, her long hair was stuck messily onto the tears on her face. "Anna is so cruel! She actually thought of such an act to deal with me! Mommy..."

Chloe lunged toward Nicole and tugged on her as she looked at her imploringly. "Mommy, quickly think of a solution for me, I can't go down like this! Now Bryan really wants to cut off contact with me, I’m finished if i t goes on like this!" "Do you know how much effort I had to put in to get to this point with Bryan? I refuse to give up just like this! Bryan is mine, I'm the only one worthy of marrying into the Dawson family! I'm the true young lady of the Dawson family!"

Nicole looked at her daughter with grief. "Chloe, I know that you feel dissatisfied, but what can we do besides waiting for further developments given the situation?"

"Anna’s trick was really too cruel! We have nothing to back us up. We have no chance of redeeming ourselves if your father won’t stand by our side."

"Mommy... Are you saying that there's no other way?"

Chloe felt hopeless as she slowly stepped backward. "I won't... I won’t go down like this, I won’t..."

"Chloe, listen to me. Let's stay calm and monitor the situation for two days."

"I’ll properly discuss it with your father again. I've been with him for so many years, I understand his temper, he wouldn't be able to resist my sweet talk! He won't listen to anything now that he’s so furious. I'll make sure he changes how he thinks of us once his anger subsides."

Chloe hugged Nicole and tearfully said, "Mommy, you must make Daddy believe that Bryan and I are truly in love."

"Chloe, don’t worry. Anna might not be able to marry into the Dawson family given her condition. After all, your father prioritizes the future of the Hamilton family more. He’ll definitely value you if you have a better chance of marrying into the Dawsons."

"It’s all Anna's fault, I hate her so much!" Chloe gritted her teeth with a rabid look in her eyes.

"I refuse to believe that she isn't in control of this. I’ll make sure she pays for this tenfold when I catch her, I’ll make sure she’s completely finished," said Chloe viciously.

Nicole pondered for a few seconds and said, "We have t o be wary of everything, Anna is getting smarter. We can't let her make the first move again.”

Anna was only a bookworm in Daniel’s mind, making her easy to trick and coax.

He thought Anna would believe that nothing was going on between Chloe and Bryan just by saying a few honeyed words. However, he never thought that Anna would disappear after giving him a phone call.

"Dad, I didn't think that the man I love the most would be together with my dearest sister!”

"The double betrayal by my family and my lover left m e feeling so hopeless.”

Anna hung up after she finished her words. When Daniel tried calling back, she had already turned off her phone.

Daniel was scared and had people look for Anna all over the house but still could not find her.

"Nicole, how are you looking after the house! Anna left home and you didn't even realize!” Daniel's rage was directed toward Nicole once again.

"Danny, you told me not to step into Anna's room, I don't know when she left either...” Nicole's sad voice was accompanied by her tears.

"She can't see now, where could she have gone to? Quickly have people look for her!" roared Daniel furiously.

"It's my fault for being negligent, don’t be angry, Danny. I'll gather some people to look for her right away." Nicole dared not dally and hurriedly brought some servants with her to look for Anna.

Anna sat vacantly by the river.

Ripples formed on the calm river surface as the breeze blew. Strands of her black hair billowed with the wind as they brushed against her fair and pretty face.

The afterglow of the setting sun dyed the sparkling river surface red. Her beautiful eyes reflected the light projected on the gentle and beautiful waves.

Liam stood beside her, his eyes affixed to her lonely figure. A sense of comfort emerged within his profound eyes.

Today was the first time Anna took the initiative to ask him out.

He was delighted, but upon seeing the emptiness in Anna's eyes, he felt discontent.

Was this woman feeling sad because of the situation with Bryan and Chloe?

What existence did Bryan have in her heart? Was he still worthy of her sorrow?

If that was the case, it was clear that this woman still loved that scumbag.

"When I was young, my mother would always bring m e here during the evening. She would sit and stare at the river like what I'm doing now."

"At that moment, I would often wonder what was my mother looking at?"

"I sat in her arms and looked toward the river like she did. But besides the red sunset and the sparkling river surface, I couldn't see anything else..." Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

"I asked my mother what she was looking at, wasn't she bored? My mother then hugged me tightly and patted my head and told me smilingly that she was looking at the warm sunbeam. They were like her Little Annie, forever her precious little baby."

Liam silently listened to her whispers, he had the sudden urge to embrace her in his arms and cherish her.

"That’s quite a poetic past, are you telling me a story?"

He spoke gently like the breeze.

Anna chuckled softly as the light of the setting sun dispersed under her eye into a teardrop that flowed down her cheek.

Liam felt his heart tremble. The bright light that reflected off that teardrop felt like a thorn that pierced his heart.

This little lady!

She started crying!

It was still acceptable if she feared up because she missed her mother, but if it was because of Bryan and Chloe...

Liam felt a fire building up in his chest.

"I miss my mother a little," said Anna softly.

Liam's chest was tight, but after he saw the tears beneath her eyes, his chest suddenly loosened as he felt a slight throbbing pain.

"You’re so old yet you're still thinking about your mother!" said Liam with disdain.

"No matter how old we get, we'll always be our mothers ’ children. It’s a shame that I can only be envious of the people with mothers, while I..."

Anna’s voice choked up, she lifted her head and looked toward the apathetic Liam. "Don’t you miss your mother?" "Nope."

Liam's reply was as cold and rigid as a rock.

"Fair enough, a cold-blooded and emotionless person like you wouldn't have any feelings.” Anna shifted her gaze away back toward the river.

"You can stir up the feelings in me if you want to, but you're more welcome on my bed," said Liam with some annoyance. u n
