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

Chapter 199 She's Jealous!

Daniel's expression became gloomy when he saw the three of them gathered by the study room door upstairs.

"What's all this noise!?” he exclaimed.

Lisa was worried that Daniel would berate Anna again without understanding the situation so she hurriedly ran from the kitchen and smiled and spoke.

"Ms. Anna, can you see now? That’s great! This is great!"

Anna turned toward Lisa as she smiled and nodded at her. The both of them exchanged looks.

Lisa subtly nodded her head, she appeared to have understood Anna’s implication.

"Anna can see already? This is amazing!" Daniel hastily walked upstairs.

Nicole’s body froze as a shiver went down her spine. Cold sweat appeared on her forehead as she held Chloe even tighter.

Chloe was confused as she looked at Nicole with uncertainty.

"Mommy, what's wrong?"

Nicole quickly shook her head with a pleading look.

Daniel got upstairs and looked at Anna with

excitement. "You really can see now?"

Anna nodded her head. "Dad, I can see now."

Daniel was pleasantly surprised to see Anna's bright and luminous eyes. "Anna, are your eyes truly recovered? When did this happen?"

"I was in a deep sleep last night as if I was in a long dream... When I woke up I suddenly realized that I could see again, I was pleasantly surprised as well."

"Haha... God works in mysterious ways! There are two happy events today. I just signed a contract at the company, haha..."

Daniel laughed joyfully.

"Good, good, I’m glad your eyes are fine now, I'm really happy! Lisa, prepare a few more dishes later, I want to drink to celebrate!"

Anna glanced at Nicole and noticed that she was trembling in fear. She grinned and looked toward Daniel and asked.

"Dad, these cufflinks belong to you, right?"

Daniel took a good look at the blue cufflinks in Anna's hand and thought for a long time before he remembered. "I think it's mine."

Anna suddenly felt disappointed.

"If I remember correctly, this pair of cufflinks was given to you by Mom as a birthday present when she was still around! So you’ve kept them all this time."

It was a pity that he did not quite remember them. It would seem that this pair of cufflinks were unused for many years.

They were like Daniel’s memories of Anna’s mother, probably long forgotten and barely remembered.

Daniel nodded his head and his expression became stern. "Right! They’ve always been in the cabinet, why are they here?”

Nicole quickly spoke out. "Oh? This pair of cufflinks are so exquisite! Why haven't I seen them before?"

Anna looked at Nicole with cold eyes. "Oh, really? I clearly saw you coming out of Dad’s study room with the cufflinks. You even seemed to be in a hurry!"

Nicole held her hands so tightly that her palms were sweaty. She spoke incoherently.

"Naha, is it... I didn't notice, could it be that you saw wrongly? What... What use do I have for cufflinks! You must have been mistaken."

Anna chuckled. "Why would I be? My eyes are fine now and they've never been clearer!"

Daniel looked at Nicole inquisitively and asked with a deep voice, "What were you doing with the cufflinks?"

Nicole met Daniel's questioning gaze and was afraid o f being found out. "Danny, why are you looking at me like that? I'm not doing anything." "Really? Aren't you planning to go out dressed so nicely? The world is a mess now, be careful not to get robbed bringing such a valuable pair of cufflinks out," said Anna softly.

Nicole cursed Anna hundreds of times in her mind!

What bad luck!

Why did Anna have to see her with those cufflinks!

"I'm asking you a question, what were you doing with the cufflinks!?" Daniel angrily exclaimed.

Nicole's shoulders trembled in fear and she immediately answered, "I... I just think... That this cufflinks' design is outdated, I wanted to go to the jewelry shop and see if I can exchange it for a new design..."

Daniel was still a little doubtful. "Is it so?"

Nicole nodded her head incessantly. "Yes, yes, yes..."

Anna chuckled coldly. "Nicole, you can't be so blind as to not realize that these cufflinks are sapphires? Don't you know that gemstones are worth more the older they are?"

"Although I was still young when Mom gifted Dad this pair of cufflinks, back then I heard that they were bought from an auction for eight hundred thousand bucks!”

"Who knows how much more the market value has increased after so many years! Yet you dare exchange i t for a newer design? Naha... The appraiser at the jewelry shop would laugh his pants off."

Nicole was sweating profusely. She did not know that this pair of unused cufflinks would be worth so much!

She thought that Daniel had forgotten about it so she wanted to secretly sell it.

Never did she expect that such a thing would be a birthday present from Anna's mother to Daniel when she was still around!

Nicole was a mere housewife who was already satisfied wearing discount jewelry, she knew nothing about this kind of collectible jewelry!

Nicole held onto Chloe even tighter.

"Anna, what do you mean? Are you saying my Mommy is stealing things?" asked Chloe sternly.

Anna smiled plainly. "I didn't say that."

She then changed the subject. "However... Is Nicole short of money?”

"Anna! What's the meaning of this!" exclaimed Chloe.

"If not then why did she want to bring this pair of cufflinks out?"

"She already said she thought it was an old design so she wanted to exchange it for a new one!" Chloe stood i n front of Nicole and completely protected her.

Daniel shot a fierce look at Nicole and shouted.

"Explain this to me clearly! What's going on!? I've always treated you well, right? Have I ever short-

changed you? How dare you do such a thing?"

Nicole panicked even more and hid closer to Chloe's back looking wronged.

Chloe was also frightened by Daniel's angry expression.

"Chloe, move aside!"

Chloe had no choice but to carefully step aside.

"Explain this to me clearly!" exclaimed Daniel.

Nicole's eyes became red as she suddenly burst into tears. "Danny, don't misunderstand, I didn't do it, I didn't do anything. You have to believe me, I... I just..."

"Just what? The facts are in front of you, what more is there to explain? Nicole, you're getting worse and worse!"

"Danny!"

Nicole took a big step forward and tugged on his hand. "It’s not like that, listen to my explanation. Actually, I’m..."

"You're what?"

Nicole could not say a word. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Chloe quickly said, "She’s jealous!"

"Jealous?" Daniel furrowed his eyebrows.

"Yes! Daddy, Mommy is jealous!" Chloe quickly tugged on Nicole subtly.

"What's there to be jealous about with a pair of cufflinks?" questioned Daniel.

Nicole sobbed and said in a choked voice, "It's true, I’m jealous!”

"Danny, I knew that Elena gave you these and you've kept them in the cabinet all these years.”

"You might not know this but you would scream Elena's name whenever you were startled awake from your dreams. Do you know how much it hurts my heart?"

Anna looked at Nicole but at that moment, she could not tell whether Nicole was pretending or telling the truth.

If Nicole was pretending, then what did she steal the cufflinks for?
