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

Chapter 325 Who Would Be So Lucky

As soon as she returned home, Anna focused her efforts on producing the design.

It was rare of Liam to find the kindness in his heart to grant her a short vacation for a few days, so she didn't have to go report to work at the Ackman Group immediately.

She spent those few days’ time drawing a rough draft o f her design.

The money they earned from this project would help pay Nina's mother's medical bills.

That was the only way she could help her now.

Anna bit her pen in her mouth, the overhead lights shining above her, she wracked her brain with the ideas for the design and in the meantime took some time off to call Jamie.

The project Ethan gave her was about designing an advertisement for luxurious wine.

Jamie ran a bar; he would know more about wine than she did.

"Tell me, what does red wine symbolize? Some say it symbolizes someone's virility, the redder it is, the stronger he is."

"But in my eyes, red wine symbolizes charm and seduction! Look at that deep red color. So similar to a woman's cherry red lips, drink it slowly and savor its taste..."

Anna held a hand to her forehead and laughed, " Jamie, do you even know what a woman’s lips taste like? You sound like you've tried it out for yourself."

Jamie exploded, "Even though I haven't tried it before, my description is spot on! In my eyes, red wine is a seductive drug!"

"Great!"

Anna didn't feel like arguing with him, so she hung up the phone with a slam.

She leaned into her chair, looked at the pictures of the red wine strewn in front of her, her mind slowly drifting to Liam.

In her eyes, not only was red wine a seductive drug, it was the symbol of love and romance.

That night, she was drunk and ran into Liam. From that day onwards, they were entangled together in a never-ending swirl of contracts and promises.

A scene slowly emerged in her mind...

A domineering and handsome president was quietly working at his desk. A woman, holding a glass of red wine, wearing thin lace pajamas, gliding towards him...

Under the dim yellow lights, the woman's soft body, the sweet aroma of wine, accompanied by soothing and smooth-flowing music.

The woman walked up to the man, put a hand on his shoulder lightly, and breathed into his ear.

Under the influence of the red wine's fragrance, what kind of reaction will the man make when he looks at the curvaceous woman in front of him?

Anna suddenly thought, if it was Liam, he would definitely press her into his work desk and have his way with her.

Her heart skipped a beat, inspiration struck. She flipped open her laptop and started punching the keys, typing into the word document.

The Dawson residence.

Grandma Dawson kneeled on the pew in front of the altar, counting the priceless rosary beads in her hands.

Liam sat beside her quietly, waiting patiently.

Seeing her finish her prayers for the day, he helped her into a chair then massaged her knees gently.

"Auntie, your age is catching up with you. Your sincerity alone is enough to touch Jesus, you don't have to follow all these rituals and forms. He is allforgiving; he won't blame you for not kneeling."

Grandma Dawson looked at him lovingly, she knew this was just an excuse for him to hide concern. She smiled and said, "I know! But Bryan is a father now, I have to be more pious, so Jesus will take care of my little great-grandson, and make sure he’s healthy."

Liam's eyes darkened and he sighed quietly.

Grandma was getting older, her persistence at securing the next generation to take over the Dawson family growing with each passing day. But unfortunately, her future granddaughter-in-law wasn't a simple character, she didn't know whether allowing her to marry into the family was a good decision or not.

"Auntie, some things are better left to fate. Your health has been deteriorating, you need to take care of yourself, don't tire yourself too much."

Grandma Dawson sighed, patted the back of his hand," Sigh... I know you're just worried about me, but you can see it too. Bryan has been a disappointment."

"I know the extent of his abilities. He’s a master in entertainment of all forms, but when it comes to managing a company and running a business, he’s nothing compared to you. If not, I wouldn't want to trouble you either."

"But he has been behaving quite well recently. I heard he has been working overnight at the company recently to train himself. Maybe because he's

becoming a father soon, he knows it’s time to change."

Liam glanced at her meaningfully but remained quiet. 1

He removed a black box from his pocket and handed i t to her. i

Grandma Dawson took it, looked at him in confusion, opened it slowly, and froze.

In her murky eyes, a flash of understanding shone through.

“Liam, why... why is this in your hands? Where did you find it?"

“In a bank that works with my company, their president accidentally exposed the fact that someone bought an insurance plan for the bracelet, and kept it i n a safe deposit box."

Grandma Dawson was furious, slamming her hands o n the table, "Who knew that mother and daughter duo would be so daring to play a trick like this!"

Liam patted her back to help her calm down and said i n a low voice, "Auntie, calm down. Don't let insignificant people like them affect your health."

"Liam, she's my future granddaughter-in-law. A woman like her! if it wasn't for the fact that our Dawson family blood flows through the veins of her baby, she would be out of my sight a long time ago!"

"I thought she just hid the bracelet away to frame Anna because she was tired of seeing me treating Anna so nicely."

"Since she was pregnant, I decided to take the high road, and let her be, everything can go her way until the baby is born. The bracelet is our Dawson family heirloom, she wouldn’t dare touch it anyway." "Besides, if someone knew the jade bracelet belonged t o us, who would dare buy it! Even if someone did buy i t, he would have to inform me personally."

"But I never thought they would think of a plan like to raise money!”

"That's right, they can only get compensation if the bracelet is broken," Liam added.

Grandma Dawson was thoroughly disappointed.

Not at Chloe and her mother, but at Bryan and the Dawsons.

She was already in her 70s, she didn't have many years left to take care of the family. In the future, if the family fell in the hands of a woman like Chloe, she wondered what the future looked like for the Dawsons.

"Liam, I have a favor to ask of you, you have to promise me this."

"Auntie..."

Liam knew what she was going to say, but that didn't mean he would agree.

"Liam, I'm old. In the future, the Dawson family will lie in the hands of Bryan and the others. Once I’m gone, all of the bad apples in the family will start wreaking havoc. When that time comes, please help Bryan and his child, I thank you for this favor."

He nodded helplessly, "Auntie, I will try my best."

Grandma Dawson smiled, comforted by his promise," Thank you Liam, your promise means everything to m

e."

She caressed the bracelet in her hands. Pain and disappointment surged through her chest.

"In my eyes, only Anna deserves to wear this bracelet. What a pity... Bryan and her are not meant to be."

Liam felt uncomfortable but hid it perfectly. His expression was calm and neutral as always. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

"I wonder, Anna is such a wonderful child. In the future, who would be so lucky to have her."

Grandma Dawson lifted her eyes and looked at Liam, " Liam, if you meet anyone suitable, please keep Anna i n mind."

Liam raised his handsome eyebrows slightly and coughed.

"I will."
