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

Chapter 204 Special Present

"Uncle! You're here!”

Bryan quickly welcomed Liam with a look of ingratiation but he did not receive a hint of friendliness from Liam. He did not even look at Bryan and walked straight into the Dawson family mansion.

Anna could not maintain the smile on her face any longer as she trembled.

Why did Liam suddenly come here?

Ever since the bridal boutique, Liam had not contacted Anna and neither did she contact him. The both of them were like strangers and had not contacted each other.

Although the both of them interacted rather happily when they ate the Boyal Banquet, Anna was so angry that she wanted to rip Liam to shreds when he took out the IOU.

However, after some thought, Liam should not have paid that sum of money since he helped Anna vent by troubling Chloe and Bryan. But Anna did not have the money to return him!

During the silence of the night, Anna would ask herself whether Liam was doing so much for her just t o satisfy his desires?

Anna's head was in the clouds for a few seconds as she did not notice Liam had walked in front of her.

Anna suddenly raised her head and saw Liam's chiseled face staring at her intensely.

Anna froze as she felt a shiver down her spine, she did not know how many pairs of eyes were on them at that moment!

Staring at Anna like this would lead to a misunderstanding!

"Anna, quickly give your seat to Mr. Ackman!" said Daniel.

Anna hurriedly stood up and took a few steps back. "A h... Mr. Ackman, please have a seat."

"Look at this child, she's terrified of her own mentor. Liam, don't be so strict toward Anna, she's my favorite," said Grandmother Dawson smilingly.

Liam did not say a word as he sat on Anna's seat.

Anna’s warmth was still left on the seat which made Liam feel an inexplicable sense of comfort and a rush of heat in his depths.

"Liam! Come, let me tell you a piece of good news." Grandmother Dawson looked at Anna smilingly and announced loudly.

"Anna's eyes have healed! She can see now!"

Liam looked toward Anna with a face of indifference, they could not read his thoughts nor emotions.

"Are you sure it’s healed? Why do I feel that there’s no different than before?" said Liam coldly.

Anna started to feel uneasy. What was Liam this sly man trying to insinuate this time?

Liam did not take another look at Anna. There seemed to be a layer of cold on his handsome face which made everyone hold their breaths.

Anna felt inexplicably disappointed, the warmth in her heart cooled in an instant. Loss and anguish slowly spread in her heart... Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

"Liam, it's been quite a few days since you visited me," said Grandmother Dawson.

"I was busy with a huge project recently," replied Liam.

"You must be busy with work since you took over the Ackman Group not long ago. But there are so many people in the company, let your employees do more of the work. You shouldn't be doing everything personally as a CEO," said Grandmother Dawson.

Liam smiled. "I must produce some results of my own since I just came back."

"How else would the Ackman Group be the leader of Johannes City! All the employees must be delighted to have Mr. Ackman who’s such a hands-on boss," said Daniel with a smile.

Bryan shifted his gaze away from Anna and said," Exactly, Grandma always wanted me to learn from Uncle. If I could achieve his standard then Grandma wouldn’t have to worry as much."

"Just don't wear yourself out," said Grandma Dawson caringly.

"Yes, Uncle, you must have a work-life balance. You can’t overwork and wear yourself out." Bryan quickly chimed in.

"Indeed there must be work-life balance." Liam turned toward Anna who stood aside. Anna's body tensed up and she quickly lowered her head.

What was he looking at her for?

What did his work-life balance have to do with her!

Liam felt his face warming up when he saw how riled up Anna was.

What was going on with her! Did she lose her composure just by a single look? That was so unpromising!

She kept reminding herself that this man would not fall for her and she must maintain her composure and control her emotions, and not give a hint to anyone.

A glint slowly appeared in Chloe’s eyes as she shifted her gaze between Anna and Liam.

"Liam, you’ve frightened Anna! Can't you be a little more cheerful!?" said Grandmother Dawson.

Chloe had an idea and grinned. "Grandma, Uncle treats Anna really well! Her birthday is coming up and Mr. Ackman gave her 127 wedding dresses as a special present!"

Chloe purposely raised her voice so that everyone could hear her.

"Wedding dresses? 127? That's a lot!” Amelia gasped.

Anna shot a glance at Chloe, she really knew how to take advantage of the situation! She would not let go o f any opportunity!

Liam looked toward Anna, his voice was plain as he spoke at an appropriate pace. "Ms. Anna wasn’t in a good mood these days so I wanted to give her a special present, and perhaps her eyes would heal if she's a little happier."

"And it's proven to be quite effective."

Grandmother Dawson understood Liam’s implication. I t was really cruel and saddening for a woman to be betrayed by her fiance and her own family.

"I'm really happy that Anna's eyes have recovered! Thank you Liam, for taking care of Anna for me!" Grandmother Dawson brought back the topic.

Never thought that Chloe would not let it go and said," Not just the wedding dresses, he even bought the entire bridal boutique and gave it to Anna! I’m so envious of Anna for having such a caring mentor."

"What? Liam bought the entire bridal boutique for Anna!" exclaimed Amelia loudly in shock as she gasped again.

It would seem that Amelia became Chloe's accomplice at that moment, allowing her to transition to the next

topic.

"We all know that Uncle cares about his students and wants to help Grandma take care of Anna! What we don’t know is the extent of their relationship!" Chloe smiled as she looked carefully at Grandmother Dawson's reaction.

Everyone immediately fell silent and the atmosphere quickly became awkward. It was as if the air around them instantly froze.

Everyone looked at Liam awaiting his response.

Meanwhile, Liam was looking at Anna while maintaining his composure.

Anna was so nervous that her palms became sweaty. She was worried that Liam would say something he was not supposed to and make everyone suspicious of their relationship even more.

After two minutes, Liam finally opened his mouth and spoke in a cold voice.

"Ms. Anna was robbed of her opportunity to wear a wedding dress. The reason I gave her wedding dresses was to let her know that she has many more opportunities to wear wedding dresses in the future. I s this even deserving of scrutiny?"

Chloe's chest tightened as she was afraid of Liam's imposing manner and lowered her head.

Grandmother Dawson glared at Chloe and smiled. " Liam, you're a calm and mature senior, and you're a good judge of character. Do you have a suitable candidate to introduce to Anna?"

Anna and Liam were both stunned.
