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

Chapter 354 You Must Agree

The Dawson home.

Grandma Dawson sat beside Anna with loving and gentle eyes.

Ever since Anna saved the day at the wedding, Grandma's love and admiration for Anna increased exponentially.

"Anna, I heard you performed well during your assessment. Your parents are lucky to have such an outstanding daughter.”

Anna tugged on her lips but didn't say anything.

Performed well?

She caught Liam's vague smile through the corners of her eyes. She wished she could kick him in the shins and ask him how Grandma Dawson found out about this.

Bryan, who was sitting beside Liam, looked at Anna's fair and pretty face. A complex emotion welling in his eyes.

He felt uncomfortable ever since Chloe told him about Liam and Anna.

What Chloe didn’t know was that her actions would actually arouse his humiliation and competitiveness.

His eyes traveled between Anna and Liam.

To him, Anna had always been the dull and boring girl in the jeans and white shirt wearing a pair of blackrimmed glasses with her hair cut in an unflattering bowl cut which covered half of her face.

But now, she had transformed into a beautiful swan.

Bryan still thought that Anna’s world was still filled with no one else but him.

How could another man appear and take her away!

She always belonged to him, whether it was her family background, her beauty that could move cities, or her perfect body.

Even if he was now married to Chloe and a father-to-b e, he still believed Anna would be his, sooner or later a s another woman that stood by his side.

He didn't expect that his uncle would take her for himself before he had a chance to get a taste of her.

His anger and regret were enough to push him over the edge.

But the man in question was Liam Ackman, a god-like presence. Liam frightened him.

He didn't dare move rashly.

Now, all he could do was wait for the right time.

Besides, he didn't know himself what his true feelings for Anna were.

Possessiveness?

Or did he want to use her?

Or maybe, he had really fallen for her.

Especially every time he imagined her writhing and moaning below him, he felt desire burning in his veins.

Because the grass was always greener on the other side.

Bryan hated himself for being late to the game, but the smile on his face remained warm like the summer breeze.

"Anna, I'm glad you can join the Ackman Group. In the future, you can be in charge of the collaborations between the Ackman Group and the Dawson Group."

Anna maintained her smile but said nothing.

Noticing her silence, Bryan seized the opportunity to cause a scene.

"Anna, are you still mad at me? Because of me and Chloe?"

Bryan wanted to see how she would reply with Liam sitting right in front of her.

A wave of disgust spread through Anna.

What did he expect her to say?

In front of Grandma and Liam, what could she say?

What a good question. It was perfectly calculated, he and Chloe belonged together.

She kept her condescension in her chest and smiled," This is just the way relationships are, most of the time you don’t end up together. There’s no reason behind it, and there’s no one to blame, we just have to let bygones be bygones."

Bryan was disappointed with her answer.

From the words, she seemed to have completely forgotten about her past with him.

And now the conclusion of their relationship like this didn't bother her at all.

Liam was displeased at her vague answer, she should have been more straightforward.

Since Bryan treated her that way, there was no reason for her to keep sympathizing with him.

Was she maintaining his pride because of their past?

This little woman, she was always so hesitant, what was the point of overthinking things!

Liam expressed his displeasure on his face.

Anna raised her head and glanced into the living room, "Where's Chloe? Why isn't she here?"

If Chloe was here, Bryan would control himself.

"She went home last night and spent the night there. She said she's not used to the cooking here," Bryan replied.

Liam hummed under his breath meaningfully, "Bryan, you’re going to become a father soon, the baby is three months old now, right?"

Bryan froze, glanced at Anna, and twisted his lips into an awkward smile, "Yes, uncle."

Bryan could see now.

Anna and Liam were taking turns to slap him in the face.

After all, Bryan had cheated on Anna with her sister while he was engaged to her, and he even got Chloe pregnant.

To Bryan, this has always been a shameful incident.

He glanced at Anna.

She treated him coldly, but to Liam, she was warm and pleasant.

Grandma Dawson swept her eyes across Anna’s calm expression. Guilt and heartache warred in her chest.

She held Anna’s hand in hers, "Forgot about the past, w e have to look forward to the future."

Then she glared at Bryan, "Since you are now married t o Chloe and she’s pregnant, it wouldn't do for her to stay in her parents' home. The wedding just ended not too long ago, she shouldn’t run home to the Dawsons s o often. Go bring her back here when you're free."

Bryan could hear the warning in his grandmother’s voice.

She was warning him to give up on Anna now that he was married to Chloe.

Alas, nothing could escape Grandma's sharp eyes.

"I will, Grandma," Bryan said respectfully.

"Anna, come. I have a present for you."

Grandma Dawson led her to the study, sat her down in a chair. She then headed towards the desk, opened the drawer, took out an antique box, and handed it to her.

"Open it, do you like it?"

Anna felt like laughing, "Grandma, I'm just joining the Ackman Group as an intern, it's not a big deal. You're making too much fuss over it."

Grandma patted her hand, "Anna, I really love you."

Anna nodded, "I know you do. I too, respect you like you're my real grandma."

Grandma Dawson’s eyes filled with tears.

She hurriedly lowered her head and wiped at the corners of her eyes. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

"Unfortunately, I’m not lucky enough to have you as m y granddaughter-in-law!"

Anna hurriedly handed her a tissue, and said comfortingly, "Grandma, your great-grandson is going t o be born soon, it’s a happy occasion! Didn't you just say, we should look to the future and forget about the past? Even though I can't become your granddaughterin-law, I’m still your granddaughter.”

Grandma was so touched by her words that she grabbed onto her hand, her voice trembling slightly, " Anna, I have a favor to ask of you. Promise me you will do it, please.”

Anna frowned in confusion.

What help could she offer Grandma Dawson?

"Anna, you have to promise me. Please?"

Anna read the eager anticipation in Grandma Dawson's murky eyes and nodded light, "Go on, Grandma, what is it?"
