Take Control of Yourself, Please novel (Anna and Liam)
Chapter 40 You Look So Beautiful Today

"Uncle..." Bryan addressed his uncle uncomfortably.

Liam was now sitting in his passenger seat. How would he be able to get to know Anna better like this? His uncle did not understand the art of flirtation! It was no wonder that his uncle never had a woman around him.

"What's wrong?" Liam cocked an eyebrow and spoke in a self-righteous tone.

"Umm... No... Nothing." Bryan pursed his lips awkwardly. What could he say? What would he dare to say?

Liam looked up ahead and said indifferently. "I forgot my car keys."

U 99 1

Both Anna and Liam were speechless.

They had clearly heard a moment ago the sound of the car unlocking when Liam pressed a button on the remote control. However, if Liam said that he did not have his keys on him, then it meant that he did no have his keys.

Bryan quickly helped his uncle close the car door and then opened the door to the back and smiled gentlemanly at Anna. "Anna, watch your head."

Anna smiled sweetly at Bryan with a hint of shyness in her eyes. She was doing this on purpose to trigger Liam who was sitting in the front seat. Hopefully, he would get the hint and behave.

However, there was no such thing as hehave' in Liam's dictionary. All his life, he had done as he pleased.

On the way, the atmosphere in the car was dreary. No one dared to say a word in the formidable, icy presence of Liam.

His expression was extremely intimidating. It looked a s though he might blow up at any time.

Anna rolled her eyes at Liam who was sitting in front of her. He could go ahead and act crazy! He would not be able to do anything to her before Bryan. She was no longer as nervous as she was before. Liam's gaze swept across Anna in the back seat. She had shut her eyes to take a nap. She no longer looked a s arrogant as she did earlier. Her beautiful features looked peaceful and graceful when relaxed. Her soft, black long hair gently fell to her shoulders. The neon lights outside illuminated her snow-white face, adding to her seductiveness...

Liam felt his heart race. The corners of his lips curled into a tender smile. A single look at this delectable woman was enough to stir the passion deep inside his body.

Bryan had been driving for a while before he carefully asked Liam. "Uncle. Where would you like to go? I'll

drop you off first."

There was no way that he could bring Liam with them to the restaurant. After all, it was meant to be their romantic dinner date.

Liam did not respond.

Bryan felt a little awkward. He gave it a little time then asked once again, "Are you planning to head home? In that case, I'll drop you off there, uncle."

Over the last few days, Liam had spent the night at the Dawson family mansion. Bryan had heard that Liam owned a private villa in Johannes City. However, Bryan did not know the address of that place. Liam maintained his cold expression and remained silent. Bryan took this as his cue to stop talking.

Liam finally opened his mouth to speak. He fixed his gaze on the road ahead and pointed to the left. Bryan immediately drove the car towards the left. After that, Liam pointed to the right and Bryan quickly made a right turn.

Bryan let out a huge sigh of relief. He subconsciously wiped off the tiny beads of sweat that had appeared on his forehead. He thought that they had finally arrived at his uncle's destination. "Well then, goodbye, uncle," Bryan said goodbye with a gentle chuckle.

However, Liam did not get down from the car. Instead, he looked strangely at Bryan and said, "Weren't you

planning to come here for dinner?"

Bryan was stunned. He raised his head and looked out the car window. It appeared that they had arrived at the entrance of Maison Restaurant.

Bryan's heart lurched in his chest. What did his uncle mean by this?

Liam opened the car door and stepped out elegantly with his long legs. "Let's go. I'm hungry."

Once again, there was no way to respond to his words. It was an immediate end to any conversation.

Liam took two steps before he turned back to look at the two people who were still sitting inside the car." Why aren't you guys getting down from the car?"

Bryan quickly got out of the car and opened the car door for Anna. "Anna, it's time to get down."

When Anna saw the disappointment on Bryan's face, she felt like bursting into laughter. She forced herself t o hold it in.

Maison Restaurant was Johannes City's most exclusive French restaurant. All the patrons at this restaurant were extremely wealthy and rich celebrities from various walks of life. However, it was pretty quiet at Maison Restaurant today. There was not a single person in the grandly decorated main hall. The only people there were the servers who were neatly standing in a line, respectfully welcoming the special guest.

"Hmm, it's very quiet," said Liam appreciatively with a nod. He was very pleased with this environment.

Bryan wore a bitter expression. 'Uncle, that's only because I've arranged this especially for today,' thought Bryan internally.

Bryan had thought that he and Anna could enjoy a lover's paradise, undisturbed by the outside world. He never expected that he would be unable to shake off this top-tier third-wheeler, Liam Ackman. Anna purposely walked to stand beside Bryan so that she could keep an appropriate distance from Liam.

The entire main dining hall of the restaurant was tastefully decorated in shades of blue. From a distance, one could see that the shades of blue were varied, some were lighter and others were a deeper blue. The smooth layers made it appear just like a sea of sparkling light.

Anna gazed at this beautiful blue scene and felt as though she was within the tranquil, deep sea. It was peaceful and calm. Her feeling settled down as well in an instant.

The decor here was exquisite and detailed. From each lamp, flower, to the tables and paintings. No matter the angle everything looked harmonious and natural, a perfect representation of the golden ratio. Anna really liked it here. Her beautiful face lit up with a cheerful smile.

A server showed them to their seats by the window. Bryan waited for Liam to sit before he took his seat. However, Liam looked instead at Anna. His expression seemed to indicate that he was waiting for Anna to pick her seat before he would then select his own.

Anna watched as both men stood for some time. She simply pulled out the chair and sat directly at the head of the table. Naturally, the two side seats would be left for Liam and Bryan.

She was not an idiot. She would not sit beside Bryan and be sat facing Liam. Liam's murderous glance would be enough to kill her on the spot.

"Anna, what would you like to eat? The filet mignon here is pretty food." Bryan asked Anna thoughtfully.

Anna lazily answered, "I've never been here before. Why don't you go ahead and order?"

Bryan smiled and turned to order a filet mignon, creme brulee, and a bottle of 1982 Lafite from the waiter.

Bryan then turned to Liam who sat across him and asked, "Uncle, what are you going to order?"

Liam glanced sideways at Anna and said, "I'll have the same as her."

Anna brought her up to her head and used to hide the frustration in her eyes. She avoided looking at Liam. He truly did not know how to take a hint. She had never seen Liam act this obliviously before! The sound of relaxing piano music started to play in the dining hall, tugging on their heartstrings.

Bryan looked at Anna who was sitting beside him. Her snow-white skin appeared even purer under the pale blue lighting. She looked gorgeous beyond words.

He liked this change in Anna. As he stared at her, Bryan could not stop himself from reaching out to hold Anna's hand. He gently whispered, "Anna, you look so beautiful today."
