Take Control of Yourself, Please novel (Anna and Liam)
Chapter 502 Don't Be Afraid

Anna went back home.

Ethan was reading a bedtime story for her daughter Gemma.

"One day, when the monkey was playing at home, a rabbit came over and asked, 'Little monkey, could you go out and play with me?'

The monkey refused and laughed at the rabbit, 'Huh, n o. You are so stupid and even can't climb the trees...'

They quarreled and then fought..."

Ethan had a good voice, gentle, soft and emotional, especially fascinating to children.

Thus once he was home, Gemma would cling to him before sleeping.

"Daddy, will you fight with your little princess?" Gemma was half asleep, pouting her lips and murmuring.

Ethan smiled tenderly and saw Anna standing by the door when he was answering Gemma.

He shushed Anna by gesture, looking down at Gemma and saying softly, "My little princess is noble, so just look and let Daddy fight for you." "Daddy, you are the best daddy in the world, even better than Mommy."

Ethan was puzzled and asked, "Why am I better than Mommy?"

"Mommy is bad, she doesn't fight with me..."

Ethan,

Anna felt warm and comforted, watching the lovely two from the door.

'Gemma, you must be happy like this forever.'

This was all Anna wanted now.

She stood there in a trance till Ethan came out after Gemma fell asleep and called her worriedly.

"Anna, why are you crying?"

Anna was stunned, feeling her eyes wet and then wiping the tears off.

"I'm okay, I'm just..."

She was just deeply moved, it's so lucky for her to meet him.

She was a poor fish compared to Wilson, cheating herself that she had forgotten Liam.

However she was pained at the thought of his name.

She had been at a loss until Ethan came to her and brought them a peaceful and happy life.

It's Ethan who gave her all these happiness.

Anna asked herself this question for the first time,'

Would Liam abandon me and the child in my belly if he had any feelings for me?'

"Sh, I know. There must be sand in your eyes." Ethan hugged her, wiping the tears off her face.

"My girl, don't cry. You've broken my heart."

"I've given you the freedom to do whatever you want to, and I don't need you to do anything for me, don't feel guilty."

He said in a low voice, full of love.

"But..."

Anna wanted to say something but Ethan interrupted her.

"All right, it's okay. I'm happy." Ethan gave her a warm smile, but Anna was ashamed.

He always understood her and was too kind.

'Ethan, I'm joining SK Jewelry." Anna took a deep breath, suddenly holding Ethan's hand.

"I believe I can live a better life and get rid of the past."

Ethan curved his lips slightly.

He knew Anna had met Wilson.

Actually he knew all her whereabouts just for protecting her.

"My silly girl, it's a good chance, you can't miss it."

Ethan said though he was a little worried.

Wilson would be the link between Anna and Liam.

That's what worried Ethan.

"But don't be afraid, I know you can do it well." Ethan saw the hesitance in Anna's eyes.

"I will support you to do anything you want."

"Ethan, thank you." Anna's eyes turned red with emotion.

Ethan smiled, "Go ahead, don't worry, the more you think, the more you fear and evade. Our princess and I will wait for your good news at home."

"Can I?"

"Of course."

Anna pursed her lips. She certainly knew Ethan was helping her. She had never talked about Liam and those things in the past three years. She devoted herself in her life. But all her efforts were just a covering.

She couldn't resist asking Michelle about Liam, and then she abruptly realized she had never forgotten the past at the sight of Wilson.

She dared not see Wilson at that time, afraid he would remind her of Liam and drove her into despair again. What's worse, she felt unspeakable guilt for Ethan. He was so kind to Gemma and her, trying his best to take care of them and make them happy.

Despite that she just took him as her brother, he prevented her ruining herself with his kindness and patience.

"My silly girl, don't think too much, you must be tired, go to bed now." Ethan relaxed her from his hug and touched her hair, his eyes tender, "Good night." "Good night." Anna nodded.

She looked back after a few steps, dreamy and charming with white skin in the dim light.

She suddenly grinned, "Thank you, Ethan."

Ethan's heart missed a beat, smiling, "Anna, come on, your life will be better."

The night breeze was cool, wafting the faint scent of flowers along. And the moon was round and bright.

Ethan stood alone in front of the window and watched the black sky, sunk in thought.

After a while he put a hand over his heart, it was still pumping wildly.

"Mr. Collins, are you okay?" The housekeeper came up to him with an oil painting and asked gingerly.

Ethan turned around and said calmly, "I'm all right. Put this painting in my wife's room tomorrow."

"Yes." The housekeeper dared not ask why, getting out with the servant.

The housekeeper and all the servants in the mansion knew this couple were in name only and slept in different rooms. But no one dared gossip about it.

As they understood their master loved his wife deeply and he wouldn't bear anyone smear her.

Anna got up early the next day.

The servant was taking Gemma to the kindergarten after breakfast. Anna stopped her and said she would send Gemma by herself.

Ethan was surprised, "Don't you go to SK Jewelry today?"

"Well, I'll go there later." Anna smiled.

She should go there exactly if she promised wilson to attend that jewelry show for SK.

But now she didn't have enough courage.

Ethan nodded without giving her any suggestions.

Anna knew he was waiting for her own choice.

Gemma wore a puffy pink dress, a pair of leather shoes and a small schoolbag, sitting in the car. And her hair was swept up in a ponytail with a bow. She looked so lovely and pretty. She looked at Anna with a twinkle in her eye, asking in a sweet voice, "Mommy, are you going to work?"

"Uh." Anna nodded.

Gemma clapped and cheered, "Huh, Mommy is not a housewife anymore. You will make money to buy hamburgers for your princess ." Anna's face was dark.
