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

Chapter 32 Clearly Fervid

Bryan tried his best to hide the hostility in his expression. He smiled as he exited his car and opened the door for Anna.

"Anna, let me send you home," he offered in a gentle tone.

Anna simply glared at him. "No thanks. I'll stay here and take care of Grandma."

Having said that, she glanced at Amelia then went back into the hospital.

Bryan subtly clenched his teeth. His eyes were filled with melancholy.

Amelia burst out with laughter. "Oh, this is just too funny! Bryan, it looks like your fiancee isn't very fond o f you at all!"

Bryan accusingly pointed at Amelia. "You better keep your mouth shut! Otherwise, I might 'accidentally' reveal all the shady things you've been doing in private!”

Amelia's expression changed abruptly. The gaze from her beautiful eyes turned piercingly sharp.

"Bryan Dawson, I dare you!"

Bryan shrugged. "What am I supposed to be fear? As you said, an illegitimate child like me would surely do humiliating things!"

Amelia did not dare bicker with Bryan anymore. She knew that he was not joking.

In the hospital, Anna ran into Liam as he came down from the upper floor.

The moment she saw him, her body ached. She wanted to escape, but it was too late.

Liam had strode in front of her, blocking her way.

Anna looked up at him. She was instantly sucked into his deep, ink-black eyes. She quickly turned her face away, pulling her gaze away.

The flames in his chest were completely extinguished the moment he saw her.

He asked, "Do you have nothing to say to me?"

He yearned to hear the gratified words of the little lady. That would prove that he had made a significant impact in the world she lived in.

He thought that that yearning of his was completely absurd. The little lady was supposedly just an attractive thing that could arouse his desires.

All those years, no woman could pique his interest.

As a result of that, he even doubted his own sexual orientation.

Nonetheless, after visiting a gay bar several times, he realized that men could not arouse any interest in him either.

"What am I supposed to say?” Anna pretended to be oblivious.

Liam crossed his arms. He was uncharacteristically patient. "I'll give you three minutes to think.”

Anna furrowed her beautiful brows. After a moment of pondering, she replied in earnest, "You are two-faced."

U H

Liam lifted his brows. "Was that a compliment?"

"You can think of it that way.” Anna shrugged nonchalantly.

Liam thought about it, then nodded. "You're right. I look innocent on the outside, but I'm actually really naughty."

Anna's gaze followed Liam's downward and landed on his crotch...

Her face flushed red instantly. She could not utter a word.

Liam chuckled. A warmth emerged from his deep dark eyes. "Why do you say that?"

Anna took a step closer to Liam and whispered, "After you knocked Ryan out, you definitely had the strength to carry him out of my room, but you didn't.”

Liam smiled and gazed at Anna, waiting for her to continue.

"There are two possibilities-first, you intentionally put me in a situation where I had to depend on you, or second... you wanted to get Bryan to beat up Ryan again.”

"And which of the two do you think is the reason?” said Liam as he took a step toward her.

Anna noticed the tiny distance shrinking between the two of them. She could even feel the wetness of his breaths. Her face flushed red and her heart raced. Out of instinct, she took a step backward.

"I-I-I... I think... it's the first one..."

"Oh, you sure were dependent on me in bed. You could even say...” He paused intentionally. "You couldn't let g o of me for a second.”

Her face turned scarlet. "Y-you... How could you be so shameless." NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Liam did not get mad. Instead, he kept drawing closer t o her.

"Why didn’t you think it was the second reason?"

"I... I don't think you wanted to hit Ryan." Anna blinked several times. The way her long lashes fluttered was exceedingly attractive.

Liam chuckled. "Little lady, does it not delight you that Ryan Sanchez got beaten up?”

"I heard that he was hurt pretty bad. He was even admitted into a hospital.” Anna explained.

"How did you know that?" A hint of jealousy emerged i n him. His gaze turned gloomy.

Anna waved the phone in her hand. "All the women in the school Whatsapp group are talking about it.

They're all venting their anger toward him."

The glum in his eyes finally disappeared. Suddenly, h e snatched Anna's phone.

"What are you doing?"

Anna wanted to take her phone back, but Liam held it high above his head. He was 190 centimeters tall, while Anna was only 165 centimeters-there was no way she could reach it.

Liam tapped on her phone several times before finally returning it to her.

"What did you do to my phone?” Anna quickly checked her phone, yet she could not find anything suspicious.

Liam chuckled playfully. "I installed a hidden software that can secretly record videos, so you better be careful when you shower and sleep.”

"You...!”

Liam smiled. Lifting his long legs, Liam strode out of the hospital.

"Pervert!" Anna cursed angrily. She activated an antivirus software and cleared her phone of any suspicious software. Only then could she rest easy.

Anna turned back to see Liam walking out the hospital doors. It was a picturesque sight to watch the tall, handsome figure walking away in the brilliant sunlight.

Many female nurses were standing not far from the door, cupping their hands together, mesmerized by the sight.

"Wow... He's so handsome."

"I think I’m in love."

Anna rolled her eyes. 'Humph! Attracting butterflies everywhere he goes! What a player!'

"I hear that he's the Ackman prince! And that he’s gay!

"What? How can such a handsome man be gay..."

The women were all dejected.

"Even if he’s gay, I still want him. I wish I can turn him straight..."

Anna hurried into the elevator. Liam Ackman? Gay?

He was clearly very fervid in bed!

An image of Liam's unrelenting passion in bed appeared in her head. Anna shivered when she thought about the traumatic scene. 1

‘Who are all these people making up rumors about him being gay?' Anna felt like punching someone!

Anna got to the upper floor. Unexpectedly, Bryan had followed her up.

"Anna, I'll stay here with you to take care of Grandma."

Bryan smiled as he gazed at her with glistening eyes.

Anna felt a sudden pain in her chest.

He had shown her that smile countless times in the past, and it would always fill her with warmth. His smile was like the warmest ray of sunlight in a cold universe.

Who would have thought that behind that ray of light, lay endless darkness?

She hated herself for desperately loving this man-her vulnerability gave him the chance to cover her heart with scars.

Fortunately, she had seen through his facade. In fact, she felt a little thankful toward Chloe-she would have been kept in the dark forever if it were not for her.

Otherwise, the man would continue to deceive her with that tender smile of his.

"If you’re staying here to take care of Grandma, I'll go home then." Anna walked past him with cold shoulders.

Bryan grabbed her. He narrowed his eyes and glared a t her. His voice was suddenly cold as ice. "Anna, what the hell is going on with you lately?"
