Chapter 250 Want the Easy Way Out?
Liam stared at Anna’s sleeping form and shook his head helplessly. 1
"This girl, why does she like to sleep in bathtubs so much? I even have to worry about you when you’re taking a shower. The moment I take my eyes off you, who knows what will happen?"
Liam lifted her out of the bathtub, wrapped her up with a towel, and placed her on the bed. Then, he dried her hair slowly with a dry towel.
Anna was fast asleep, comfortable and snug, yet she suddenly dreamed of Nina advising her solemnly," You have to be careful when dealing with Mr.
Ackman, keep your guard up at all times. The moment you let your guard down, he'll devour you whole..."
Anna was shocked awake, noticing Liam sitting beside her in nothing but a towel, revealing his beautiful body, and immediately she felt her hackles rise.
"You, you... what are you doing?"
"What am I doing?” Liam held a first-aid kit in his hands, "What do you think I'm doing?”
Anna glanced down at her arm, the bandages were open and unwrapped, did he change her bandages for her?
She felt slightly anxious, "Uh... I fell asleep... I've been too tired lately.”
Liam glanced at her and huffed in laughter, "People with no conscience always sleep well."
Anna gritted her teeth; she sure had a conscience all right.
When she was alone at home, she always had trouble falling asleep, tossing, and turning until daybreak. Who would have guessed she would fall asleep so easily in his home?
"Wait here.”
Liam set the first-aid kit down, turned, and left. When he returned, he had a pair of scissors in his hands.
Anna felt antsy again, "You... what are you doing?"
Liam glanced at her, "I never asked why you are always so defensive around me, and yet you are the one questioning me.”
Anna muttered under her breath, that’s because he was such a pervert, how could she not keep her guard up?
It seemed like Liam could read her mind, sparks of flame danced in his eyes, and he glared at her.
Anna stuck her tongue out at him, "With just the both o f us alone here, it looks very suspicious, okay!”
"How suspicious?" Liam sat beside the bed, rested her arm on his leg, and helped her undo her bandages
carefully.
"It’s just suspicious! Ouch, it hurts!”
"Don't move."
"It hurts!"
"I told you not to move!"
"It hurts, okay?"
"You don't want your points?" Liam shouted.
Anna pursed her lips and had no choice but to withstand the pain and allow him to uncover her bandages.
"How stupid are you, you don't even know how to change the dressing yourself?"
He carefully flipped open the bandages, the blisters on her finger were now gone, and but there were signs of infection.
These were originally a pair of fair, unblemished hands, but now they were littered with wounds. His chest ached and started doubting whether he indeed took things too far.
"I didn't even have time to sleep for the past two days, how could I find the time to change my bandages?" She pursed her lips indignantly.
Liam glanced at her, then disinfected her wound, applied medication, and wrapped up her bandages bit by bit...
She looked at his gentle and tender form, and suddenly she was confused at what kind of man he was.
At times, he was deep and mysterious like the oceans, one minute raging like a storm, the next quiet and calm.
At times, he was the high and mighty legend of the business world, his inborn air of authority made everyone surrender at his feet.
At times, he acted like a crazy lunatic. Everything had to be done according to his mood and plan, not caring about anyone else's feelings, torturing her ceaselessly, causing her endless suffering...
But now, he seemed like a tender and warm lover which mesmerized her.
He made her promise not to fall in love with him, and he only used her to fulfill his physical needs, but why was he so nice to her?
Or was he this nice to all the women who served his needs?
It felt like a kitten was scratching at her chest, making it itch and burn. She wanted to hug him, flirt with him in his arms.
Just when she lifted her arms to hug him, he stood up with the first-aid kit and returned it to his original position, and said, "You can't even learn how to take care of yourself, what else can you learn?”
Anna pursed her lips, "Alright, I get it."
Liam turned and returned to the bedroom, seeing Anna on the bed, as if expectant, his lips curled up into an evil smile, and started removing his clothes and climbed onto the bed, curling his arms around her slender waist.
"Ah..."
Anna exclaimed her breath and struggled in his arms, "Ohm... it's late, we're both sleepy, I should go."
Liam pulled her back onto the bed from behind.
"Where are you going?"
"Home!"
"This is your home!"
U H
Anna’s chest warmed, and felt shivers all over her body, "Mr... Mr. Ackman..."
"Call me by my name."
"Li... Liam..."
Liam pulled her into his arms, and they both fell back on top of the bed. He pulled the bedcovers and tucked them around her.
Anna immediately struggled.
"Don't move," he warned.
"I... I... I'm not feeling well..." Anna was so nervous she was starting to sweat.
"Not well? How?" He flipped his body and pressed his body on top of hers, "Feeling better now?”
"Asshole..." Anna squeezed her eyes shut, her body stiff as a zombie.
Liam laughed and lifted himself off of her, and hugged her back, "I've been busy supervising a major project these few days, I'm tired.”
Anna pursed her lips.
Why did she feel like he wasn't busy at all the past two days, busy playing her like a fool, more like it?
"It's so comfortable to hug you, it makes me happy too." Liam tightened his grip around her.
Anna turned her head and looked at him, his face was mere inches from hers, they were so intimate, as if the almighty god from high above had fallen onto earth, and was finally within reach.
She couldn't help staring dazedly at him. Laying against his warm chest, breathing in his masculine scent, her heart raced.
"You seem a bit weird today.” She asked quietly.
"Will I still seem weird if I slept with you?” Liam raised his eyebrows evilly. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Anna turned her back furiously, ignoring him.
She should not have asked him such a stupid question, and she thought he had finally realized the error of his ways.
The room was extremely quiet, the only sound was the noise of their shallow breaths echoing across the room.
After a while, Anna asked quietly, "Are you asleep?" 1
"Yeah." i, H
How could he answer if he was asleep?
Anna hesitated, plucked up her courage, and started," The internship..."
"You want an easy way out?"
"Not at all! I just want you to be more objective!"
After a long moment of silence, he remained quiet.
Anna lifted her head and glanced at him, beneath the pale-yellow lights, she saw his well-defined features, and tightly-closed eyes rimmed with thick, fluffy eyelashes.
She felt her heart racing once again, her body starting t o flush and turn warm.
She hurriedly lowered her head, afraid to spare him a further glance.
"Don't move again, or else I'll make you so tired you can't wake up and attend the assembly tomorrow."
Liam had his eyes closed, voice raspy with sleep and exhaustion.
Anna immediately adjusted her sleeping position and squeezed her eyes shut, not daring to move even a little.
