Take Control of Yourself, Please novel (Anna and Liam)
Chapter 206 Blinded by Deception

Grandmother Dawson looked at Liam then at Anna. She had a feeling that something was not quite right but she could not put her finger on it.

"Liam, Anna is still young, you shouldn't bully her!" said Grandmother Dawson worriedly.

"Don't worry, Auntie, I won't bully her. I'll..." Liam dragged his sentence as he looked at Anna. His fiery gaze made it seemed like he was going to finish her on the spot. "Take good care of her."

Grandmother Dawson laughed. "I'll be at ease with you taking care of Anna."

Anna's legs almost turned to jelly and she even had a little hip pain.

At ease under his care?

Anna would not be able to leave the bed!

Anna looked toward Liam and could not help but tremble when she noticed that there was a slight grin on his face.

Daniel hurriedly urged her, "Anna, quickly go with Mr. Ackman! It's late already."

"

." Anna was speechless.

"Thank you for your troubles, Mr. Ackman. I'll hand

Anna over to you!" Daniel thanked Liam with a smile.

Liam smiled and said slowly, "It's alright to handle some troubles, as long as Ms. Anna continues working hard and doesn't disappoint me!"

Liam's words sounded normal, but to Anna's ears, they sounded like something else.

Anna wanted to bury her head in the ground!

"Get a move on, take care," Grandmother Dawson said with a smile.

Anna begrudgingly followed Liam out of the Dawson residence.

Liam gently leaned down next to Anna's ear and said softly, "You see, they're all doing their best to match us together."

Anna glared at him hatefully. "Don't misinterpret their intentions!"

"I'm just interpreting it normally."

"Your head was never normal to begin with!" Anna groaned and walked ahead.

At first, Liam quietly followed behind her. But perhaps due to his long legs, he slowly walked ahead of her a considerable distance.

Anna was afraid of the dark and hurriedly chased after him. "You can't be serious about walking back?"

Liam did not look back. "We can try."

Anna turned around and saw the pitch-black road and saw a car following them from afar.

"Is this what you wanted to do? Leave your car behind and walk home! Your brain is truly abnormal!" said Anna angrily.

Liam suddenly halted his steps and with a menacing grin slowly said, "I want to do you."

Anna froze then she blushed. "Liam, you b*stard!"

She angrily walked forward with big steps. "You big b* stard!"

Liam stared at Anna's back with a playful grin that sent shivers down her spine. She then sped up in preparation to shake Liam off.

She did not look around and simply kept walking forward when she reached the crossing. Suddenly she felt her arm tighten and Liam pulled her back as she fell into his wide arms. Before Anna had time to react, a car whizzed by from behind accompanied by the driver's shouts.

"Are you blind!? It's a red light!"

It was then Anna started to feel scared. If not for Liam pulling her back in time, she might have...

"And you said your eyes are fine!" exclaimed Liam

with annoyance and anger in his eyes.

Anna blew a raspberry and mumbled, "That's because... I was busy being angry at you."

"You still want to argue! Don't you need to look before crossing the road?" Liam pulled Anna's hand and made her walk to his right.

Anna obediently followed Liam, allowing his big hand to warm up her small hand. The both of them walked across the road together and passed the darkest segment of the road. She gently raised her head and looked at Liam's tall figure as she felt a sudden warmth in her heart.

This man...

Could he not be so caring?

"Why are you treating me so well?" she asked softly.

Liam slowed down and turned around. "I'm treating you well just because of this?"

His cold tone made her feel inexplicably disappointed.

Would she be depressed if she continues to be in such a state of uncertainty?

This was all caused by a single person, which meant that this person occupied an important position in Anna's heart!

She clearly understood all the reasons and understood that they were both of different worlds, but in the end, she still could not control her own heart.

"Don't have any illusions about me!" exclaimed Liam casually.

Liam suddenly pulled Anna and avoided a passing scooter.

She raised her head and looked at him. She did not have to look at the road nor worry about any accidents next to Liam as he would protect her from all harm.

But at that moment, she did not feel any happiness, only a painful tugging on her heart.

"If that's the case, then why are you still holding my hand?"

"Because I want to protect you," answered Liam with indifference.

Anna felt her heart ache again.

"Yup, that's right! This is the true Liam Ackman; coldblooded, decisive, and straightforward!"

Anna forcefully tossed aside Liam's hand and took huge steps ahead.

Liam smiled at Anna's angry appearance.

He enjoyed the way she looked when she was frustrated!

Anna looked at the never-ending road in front of her. Although she was furious, she still hoped that the road would not end and she could continue walking with Liam like this...

After Anna and Liam had left, Daniel and Nicole bid their farewell too.

Grandmother Dawson was about to return to her room when Amelia called her.

"Grandma, don't you think that Uncle and Anna are strange?" asked Amelia.

"Amelia, what do you mean by that?" Grandmother Dawson raised her eyebrow.

"Grandma! I think they're not normal!" Amelia walked to the front of Grandmother Dawson.

"Stop talking nonsense!" bellowed Grandmother Dawson.

"Grandma, they're both single, who's to say they're pure and haven't done anything together? I've been suspicious of them ever since the first time Uncle met Anna!"

"How ridiculous! Shut your mouth! He's your uncle and you dare say such things behind his back to slander him! As for Anna, I clearly understand what kind of person she is!"

"Grandma! They're not related by blood. Although there's an age gap, do you think that's enough to stop them?" Amelia was heated up.

"You still refuse to shut up! I don't want to hear these kinds of words!" Grandmother Dawson raised her

voice.

"Grandma is so protective of Anna, have you ever thought of me as your biological granddaughter!? There's no kinship between you and Anna!"

"Amelia, Bryan still has to rely on your uncle's connections and position when he takes over the family in the future! Don't blame me for punishing you if these words are passed to your uncle's ears and affect our family's harmony!" Grandmother Dawson tapped her cane against the ground and returned to her room.

Amelia clenched her fists tightly in anger. "Grandma has been blinded by Anna's deception!"

Chloe hid in a corner and heard Amelia's complaint. Her lips curled up slightly and a glint appeared in her eyes.

"Amelia, Grandma isn't the only one that's blinded. Bryan and Uncle, all of them are blinded by Anna!"

"That has nothing to do with you!" Amelia glanced at Chloe with displeasure and returned to her room.

Chloe was so angry that her entire body trembled. " Fine! Let's see if you dare show your displeasure at me again once I become the young lady of the Dawson family!"
