Chapter 748 It Was My Bad Luck
Chapter 748 It Was My Bad Luck
Anna could not help shuddering with fear.
She could hardly imagine what would happen if Gemma was taken away again.
And Liam had just warned her that he didn't have so much patience to wait.
For a moment, she was so nervous that her mind went blank.
The last glimmer of reason reminded her that she must get Gemma back now.
Anna stood on tiptoe, stretched out her head and looked around at the toy store, "Did Liam go in with a child?"
"Excuse me, my lady. It is necessary for us to keep the information of the guests confidential." When he was done, the security guard kept his mouth shut.
However, Anna's face darkened a little, but suddenly her eyes became sharp, "There was a little girl in there in a plaid dress. That was my daughter. Liam went in with my daughter. Please let me in quickly, or I will call the police to deal with it."
The security guard, however, laughed helplessly after hearing that, "Then why didn't you say you were his wife?"
"I have nothing to do with Liam." Hearing this, Anna's pale face suddenly became cold and sneered sarcastically.
The security guard didn't think much of it. He thought this couple was quarreling, and continued, "If that little girl is your child, why did your daughter stay with that man?"
"I want to know that, too." Anna glared at the security guard, put her hands over her chest and forced her way in.
However, she was stopped by the security guard before she could set foot on the threshold of the toy store.
"Miss, you can’t do this." The security guard looked serious.
"But my child is in there, and she has nothing to do with that man." Anna's eyes turned red with anxiety.
The security guard was stunned.
He heard clearly Liam say that he was the father of the little girl.
Was it possible that they had a baby before they got married?
The relationship of this family was really hard to describe. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Of course, the security guard naturally dared not ask this question, but just insisted on performing his post duties.
He reached out to block Anna's way and looked at Anna standing at the door with an embarrassed look o n his face.
Anna thought for a moment and took step back.
There was a shrewd look on her cold look.
Then, she said in an extraordinarily calm and cold tone, "Since it's like this, don't blame me for being rude."
The security guard was stunned for a moment.
What did this woman mean?
Before he had time to think, he was stupefied to see that Anna clenched her fists tightly and took a deep breath.
She shouted hysterically at the top of her voice, "Liam! You get out here! Liam, you big bastard! Who gave you the right to take my daughter away at will?"
"I'm telling you, if you don't come out! I'll reveal your company address! Your home address! And your cell phone number!"
Anna shouted at the top of her voice, not caring about anything.
However, the whole toy store was as big as a few hundred square meters, and Liam, who was sitting in i t, couldn't hear the cry at all.
"If you like this doll, pick up a few more."
Liam sat gracefully on the couch with his legs crossed, looking aloof and dignified.
Gemma clutched the Pink Panther in her arms and selected among the dolls. But in the end, she picked nothing else. She said, "I'll just take this."
One good thing was enough.
"Take a few more." Liam said softly and smiled.
Gemma stubbornly shook her head. She shook her head like a rattle, looking particularly cute.
James suddenly felt unworthy of having to spend a lot of money.
It cost tens of thousands of dollars to rent the toy store for an hour.
However, Gemma just picked a doll worth a few hundred dollars.
What a life of the rich!
"Would you like to take a look at this?"
James felt that they couldn't be so wasteful, so he chose some lovely dolls for Gemma.
However, Gemma took two steps back and shook her head coldly, "I don't want the dolls you gave me. You stay away from me."
James held the dolls in his hands and froze in place.
Gemma snorted with disdain.
Last time, the big villain suddenly rushed up and pulled off her hair.
It made her cry for a long time. And she still remembered it clearly.
Well, she wouldn't give this big bad guy a chance to hurt her again.
Gemma turned her big eyes and hid behind Lisa. Her two fleshy hands grabbed Lisa's sleeve.
Lisa gently pulled Gemma's arm and stood aside looking a little nervous, waiting for Liam's order, "Mr. Ackman, it's getting late."
She hoped from the bottom of her heart that Anna would come soon.
She was rather stupid, and she couldn't tell what Liam was planning.
She was afraid something would happen to Gemma.
She was thinking, when suddenly there was an urgent call from around.
It could be heard that the speaker was gasping for breath, as if she had been running for a long time, panting.
"Gemma!"
"Gemma, where are you?"
She smashed her cell phone right in the middle of the front door of the toy store, where there were a lot of plush toys.
In that instant, all the dolls that were there collapsed.
The security guard was speechless and angry when the toys fell everywhere, "Oh, my God! The shop assistant had spent her whole morning arranging them. It was just ruined."
While the security guard was stunned, Anna took the opportunity to break in forcefully.
There were dazzling arrays of dolls in the store. However, Anna was in no mood to appreciate them at all.
Her eyes, like those of a sharp eagle, were searching everywhere.
It wasn't until she saw a small figure peeking around behind an adult that Anna was relieved.
But her tears, which had been brought about by tension and anxiety, could not be stopped, "Gemma! M y baby girl! Mommy is really worried about you!"
Gemma immediately turned around. Her big and pearly eyes flashed a little surprise, "Mommy, why are you here?"
She was thinking about letting Liam pay and she could go home. But her mommy gave her a surprise.
"Why did you run around without telling me? You scared the hell out of me!"
Anna looked anxious at the moment.
Looking at her mommy, Gemma seemed to understand that she had done something that she should not have done.
"Mommy, I didn't mean to worry you."
"I know. You are not allowed to run around without m y permission." Anna kissed Gemma's pink cheeks again and again.
Then she reluctantly stood up and pulled Gemma behind her.
She glared at Liam angrily and said coldly, "Why did you take Gemma away from school?"
Liam raised his eyebrows, and the softness of his face grew cold.
Anna stared at Liam all the time.
The two of them quickly fell into a tense atmosphere.
Liam slowly put down his crossed legs and said indifferently, "I didn't force Gemma. I invited her over.
And I said I'd let her go home after buying the doll."
What he was implying was that Anna was overreacting.
Anna could tell that. But she still frowned and said reproachfully, "Then why didn't you call me to discuss it?"
"Do I have to call you about this? Anna, don't forget my relationship with Gemma." Liam put one hand into the pocket and stood up with an expressionless face.
However, Anna became even angrier, and she gritted her teeth and said, "You have nothing to do with her at all! You bring her here today, what about tomorrow and the day after tomorrow? Are you going to take her away from me?"
"What I'm doing now is just trying to promote my relationship with her." Liam answered coldly.
But he began to feel angry inside.
Gemma was his daughter. Why should he explain so much to her?
After hearing this, Anna turned pale, and she said with a strong warning, "There is no need to promote a relationship between you. You are not qualified to recognize her."
"It's not up to you to decide whether I'm qualified or not." Liam didn't intend to make any concessions in this matter.
Hearing such a cold and sharp tone, Anna squatted down angrily. She held Gemma's hand and said," Didn't I tell you? When you see this man, you must stay away from him."
"Anna."
Liam shouted coldly. He paused and then continued," Have you ever considered the mood of the child? She i s so young that what she needs is true fatherly love."
"And I'm the only one who can give the true fatherly love to her."
"She doesn't need it! You go away!" Anna stretched out her hand and impatiently pushed Liam away.
Looking at the two adults who were quarreling fiercely, Gemma pulled Anna's sleeve, "Mommy, don't b e angry, it's not good to be so angry. I'll just listen to you in the future."
She also realized her mistake and pitifully held Anna's hand.
Seeing Gemma on her side, Anna sighed helplessly, "If you don't behave next time, I'm going to be angry with you, too. Let's go home."
At least it was a false alarm. Fortunately, nothing happened to Gemma.
Anna felt that the clothes on her back were drenched with sweat from the extreme fear just now.
Liam didn't feel angry at all when he saw them leave.
Now, instead, he smirked.
"Anna, do you think you can get out of my sight if you walk away now?"
Liam turned around and walked towards his car.
In less than twenty minutes or so, he saw the plaque o f the hospital.
And not far from the parking lot, he saw the license plate that he knew very well.
Well, everything was under his control.
When Liam appeared in the hospital again, it immediately caused a burst of shouts of joy from the doctors.
"Look, Mr. Ackman is here again! He looks wonderful!"
"How can there be such a handsome man in the world? And he's so rich."
In the past, Liam was dismissive of such voices. But today he was not as calm as usual.
If only that stupid woman could hear that.
Liam walked aggressively and told James next to him, "Take out the gift I have prepared."
"Okay." James smiled. He knew why Liam did so.
Nina was hospitalized for an injury. But it had nothing to do with Liam.
There was no need for Liam to visit her often.
However, he was often able to meet Anna in the ward i f he came often.
It was too obvious why he came here!
He wondered if Anna would be as overreacted to see him as she was at the toy store?
When James was thinking about it, Liam had already entered the ward.
An angry question immediately came from the ward," Why it's you again?"
Then, Liam's light voice resounded through the ward,
Why can't it be me? Nina's Michael's cousin. I'm Michael's best friend. What's wrong with me visiting her?"
"Yes, you're right! You are always right!" Anna sat next to Nina and said angrily, and then she turned her head and looked out of the window.
Gemma stuck her tongue out at Liam when she saw him standing in the door looking cold.
She shook her Pink Panther at the man who claimed t o be her "daddy" and said in a very low voice, "Oh, by the way, I just forgot to say thank you. But don't come t o me again."
She couldn't bear to see her mommy angry.
Liam's face suddenly darkened, and there was a trace of anger in his dark eyes.
The effort he had just made collapsed at Anna's interruption.
He went to the corner of the ward and sat down. And h e kept looking at Anna with his cold eyes.
But Anna pretended not to see it and chatted with Nina casually.
At the same time, she held Gemma tightly in her arms.
When Liam saw that Anna was so wary of him, he was so angry that he wanted to kick her out of the ward at once. He was strangely upset at the moment.
After a while, someone pushed open the door of the
ward, "Oh, my babies, look what I've brought!"
That flirtatious voice was obviously Jamie's.
Jamie came in with a delicate red handbag and a big bag in one hand.
Nina's eyes lit up, and she eagerly beckoned to Jamie t o come over, "Come on, have you brought what I want?"
Jamie raised his hand to smooth his bangs. He made a flirtatious gesture and said softly, "Baby, how could I forget what you asked Anna to tell me? Of course I have brought it to you.”
Jamie withdrew his hand, put the things on the cabinet next to the hospital bed, and said with great dissatisfaction, "I haven't seen you for a while. How did you two get into so much trouble?"
Anna pulled the corners of her mouth.
She held Nina's hand and tucked her in, then she said sadly, "We don't want to be like this either. It's my bad luck to have so many unreliable men pestering me."
At this time, Jamie had just put down the things he brought. And as soon as he turned around, he saw Liam sitting in the corner.
He subconsciously blurted out, "My big baby, you don't mean this big shot by 'unreliable man', do you?"
Anna immediately looked back, looking a little embarrassed.
The man she just talked about was Bryan.
Although she was not referring to the devil Liam, at least he was Bryan's uncle, the Dawson's relative. Oh god! He must have heard it.
