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

Chapter 516 Stay with Me

"Anna, let's get married."

Anna jerked her head up and looked at Ethan.

In an instant, the atmosphere became awkward and depressing.

For so many years, she had never thought that Ethan would propose to her. Even if she had thought about it, he didn't propose so suddenly.

Anna didn't know what to say and was a bit restrained.

Ethan walked over and held her hand, "I've been hiding these words in my heart for three years."

"Anna, marry me and let me take care of you and Gemma."

"We..." Anna wanted to draw back her hand, but was held tightly by Ethan.

"I don't want to be Gemma's daddy in name, and your husband in name."

"But Ethan.."

"I know your work doesn't go well and you are not happy." "Actually__It goes well." Anna continued to conceal.

Ethan's face changed, "Don't hide it from me anymore!

I know!"

"Next Friday is the jewelry exhibitions. The staff in the design department are very busy now. The theme i s butterfly this time." Anna explained in a panic.

"And then?" Ethan was a bit aggressive.

"I... As soon as the jewelry show is over, I can get out of there!"

Anna hurriedly drew back her hand, not wanting to face Ethan.

Ethan smiled slightly with a little bitter.

"Don't you really want to marry me?" Ethan asked in a low voice.

"Ethan, I have something to say to you." Anna thought about how to talk to Ethan about Liam.

But when she thought of being forcibly kissed by Liam in the car, she felt very embarrassed.

She looked up and met Ethan's thoughtful gaze.

She hesitated for a moment to hide her weakness, " What do you think I should design?"

She didn't want Ethan to worry about her again. This man had already given too much for her over the years, without asking for anything in return. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

He was gentle and considerate.

How could Ethan not understand that she used such words to reject his proposal?

Ethan's smile became a little despondent, but he turned gentle, "Go with your own feelings. I believe you can design the work you like, not perfunctorily or for commercial value."

Anna nodded heavily.

Ethan really wanted to ask her why did she refuse to marry him. Did she refuse to choose him even to get rid of Liam?

But when he saw Anna's evasive eyes, he could only hold back these words.

"Okay, I will go to accompany Gemma." Ethan said.

"Okay."

Anna was a little bewildered. She struggled for a long time in place before slowly walking towards the kitchen.

She had promised Ethan earlier that she would cook a big meal to treat him.

She really wanted to be nice to Ethan as compensation.

But Ethan came back too suddenly, and she had nothing to prepare.

Anna thought about it and personally went to the kitchen to make a simple Western cuisine.

She served it on a plate and brought it to the table.

Anna went to the garden to call Ethan and Gemma to come back for dinner.

As the sun set, she saw Ethan and Gemma playing on the lawn.

The picture was really warm, and all of a sudden Anna's eyes got wet.

At this time, Anna's cell phone rang and the maid rushed to inform her.

She frowned. She didn't have any friends here, who would call her?

It was an unfamiliar number. Anna hesitated, and after a few rings the phone hung up.

She breathed a sigh of relief, thinking it was a wrong number.

Unexpectedly, the phone rang again at this time.

"Hello." Anna picked it up.

There was silence for three seconds.

Liam's voice suddenly came, "It's me."

Anna was startled. Seeing Gemma running over to shout at her, she was so scared that she hung up the phone in a hurry.

"Mommy, mommy, is it time to have dinner!" Gemma shouted happily.

Liam's phone called in again.

Anna knew Liam's perseverance. She knew that if she hung up again, Liam would definitely call the phone to the house.

She should not let Liam hear Gemma's voice.

She hurriedly ran upstairs, closed the door and locked it.

She reconnected Liam's phone, "Why are you calling m e? What are you doing again?"

"What are you doing? Why are you panting? " Liam asked.

Anna coldly said, "Director Ackman, it is my private time after work now. Please do not come to disturb me again, okay?"

After saying that, Anna directly hung up the phone and turned it off.

She didn't leave him any room to react. She pressed her chest that was beating like thunder. She was so panicked that she couldn't calm down.

She turned around, walked into the bathroom, unscrewed the tap and washed a cold water face. She wiped her face in the mirror.

The moment she looked up, she was suddenly shocked to see a love bite on her collarbone.

Anna's face changed.

She reached out and slowly touched it with trembling hands. It was so clear and so insulting.

No wonder Ethan's smile just now was so far-fetched...

She bit her lips and forcibly wiped it but she couldn't make it.

At night, Anna tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

Finally she went downstairs to find Ethan.

Although they were a couple in name, they lived together.

As for that love bite ....

Anna was very sad.

She felt she should explain it to Ethan.

Ethan was not in the study, so Anna went to the garden to look for him.

Sure enough, she saw Ethan under the grape trellis.

He was drinking tea.

He saw Anna coming down in her pajamas, "Why are you still awake?"

"Why don't you sleep either?" Anna asked back with a smile.

Thinking about what happened during the day, her hands stirred together slightly, and she felt a little embarrassed.

"Ethan, actually..."

Anna organized her language, still wanting to say something.

Ethan smiled and also got serious. He was also curious to know what would she say.

"In fact, Liam has found me .... This afternoon, he inexplicably stopped me."

Ethan was calm and did not say anything.

Anna continued, "I wanted you to explain it this afternoon, but I hesitated. To be honest, I don't want you to worry about me."

"He bought SK and now became my boss."

"I don't know what he was thinking. Since he is married to Winnie, why is he still pestering me."

Anna said quickly. But her tone was tinged with guilty. She did not want to receive Ethan.

"Bunny, what are your plans now? " Ethan listened to the whole process and smiled faintly bitterly.

He had guessed this a long time ago, but he just didn't guess that Liam would acquire SK Jewelry so quickly, which instantly shortened his distance with Anna.

Anna said, looking at Ethan in pain, "I don't know. At first I didn't even know how to tell you about it."

He protected her so well, so that she could live in peace, but now...

"Bunny. In fact, don't you have the answer in your own mind?" Ethan asked.

Although over the years their feelings were getting better and deeper, he could only be considered as Anna's nearest relative.

But that was only limited to the affection between siblings.

Ethan got up and walked slowly to her, "You have two choices, either go back to him or stay with me forever."
