Take Control of Yourself, Please novel (Anna and Liam)
Chapter 834 Her Heart Hurt So Bad

Jamie tapped his orchid fingers on Anna's forehead and warned her loudly, "You better think about it. So what if he moves next door to you? It's just a boring game of those rich people." "Jamie, people change! I've also heard something about what happened back then. And, now it's said that..." Finally, Nina couldn't resist the urge to tell the secret she had been hiding in her heart. Just then, Anna's phone rang.

"I'm going to take the call first." Anna stood up in a distressed mood. Her clear and bright eyes grew gloomy.

And the second half of Nina's sentence just stuck in her throat.

"Winnie is dead..."

However, Anna didn't hear the words. All her attention was on the phone.

"Anna, these days, I can see that your heart has been wavering. I know it's been difficult for you. I don't blame you. No one can be sure about feelings. But after all, it's a choice that matters to your whole life. I hope you can think it through."

Standing at the gate of the Hamilton mansion, Ethan looked back sentimentally, his voice particularly tranquil, "So I've decided to leave for a while. You can have some time to think about it and figure out what you really want. Then we'll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce. But don't worry. I won't show anything in the office."

"Ethan, what are you talking about? I don't understand! " Anna couldn't care about the bag she had left on the seat. Her brain went completely blank.

"I didn't mean anything by it. I just want you to be happy. No matter what your choice is, we are always best friends and closest family."

Despite that Lisa pleaded with him not to leave, Ethan walked down the steps, taking his suitcase with him.

A mood of melancholy and pity was around that warm and elegant man.

"Don't go! Wait until I get home and we will talk, okay? I'm going back right now."

Standing on the side of the road, Anna looked around anxiously for her car. Her whole body was trembling.

"Don't bother looking for me. I'm leaving. Don't worry, no matter who you choose, I always wish you the best. Alright, silly bunny, don't think too much. Have a good time with Jamie and the others. Take a break." Ethan said concernedly, and then he hung up the phone.

At that moment, Anna felt a sudden hollow in her heart. Before she could understand what was going on, she had already lost a dear family.

Anna hurried back home like crazy. Ethan was already gone and his room was empty.

"Did I hurt you so much that you couldn't bear it anymore?"

Anna's beautiful eyes welled up with tears. She looked around desperately in Ethan's room.

But Ethan had packed and taken all his belongings away, leaving no trace of him ever living there.

"Ethan, don't just go away... Please! What would Gemma do without you? What should I do?"

Tears streamed down her cheeks as Anna opened her phone agitatedly, scrolling through WhatsApp and replaceing Ethan.

She was crying all the time while she kept sending Ethan voice messages.

However, after quite a long time, still there was no response from Ethan.

Anna collapsed on the sofa exhaustedly. She couldn't help but cry out sadly and painfully.

Hearing that Ethan had left, Gemma burst out crying immediately.

"Mommy, why did you drive daddy away?"

"It's all my fault! It's my fault..."

Anna couldn't stop crying. She sent Ethan another message, "You're the only family Gemma and I have left." "Don't cry. No matter where I am, we are always family. I just hope you could have a quiet space to think it through. Don't do anything that you'll regret for the rest of your life."

On the other end of the phone, Ethan clutched his phone tightly. He resisted the impulse to call Anna.

Anna couldn't help but hug Gemma in her arms and cry. She was crying so hard she was out of breath.

"Ethan, I'm sorry! I'm the one who forced you away!"

Thinking of Ethan's helpless tone, Anna felt so regretful.

She regretted it so much and felt sorry for the man who always gave her warmth like the sunshine.

He never asked her for anything. He was always there supporting her in silence and suffering the hurt she brought to him...

She really felt sorry for him.

Anna had a sleepless night. The next day, she had a pair of red and swollen eyes. She went to Ethan's place where he lived before.

Ethan just finished washing up. Suddenly he found Anna standing in front of the window and he was stunned.

"You come here, after all." Ethan's voice had a touch of frustration, as well as a hint of joy in it.

"Could you come back with me? Gemma and I need you." Anna sniffled softly. She held back the tears in her eyes.

She didn't realize how much she depended on Ethan until he left.

But this dependence had nothing to do with love.

Ethan was like a brother to her, who grew up with her and was her only family. When he left all of a sudden, she felt like he took everything she depended on away, and she felt suffocated. "Silly bunny! Why don't you understand my intentions? Sooner or later you will have to choose between me and Liam." There was not much expectation and hope in Ethan's gentle eyes.

"But Gemma really can't live without you. She cried all night yesterday, and she just wouldn't go to sleep. I feel hollow in my heart, too." Anna compressed her pale lips tightly.

"I'm really glad to hear that I'm important to you. But your happiness is also important."

"I can see that you tried hard working on our relationship. But you really have to think more about it, deep in your heart, who do you want to be with. You may not see as clearly as outsiders." Ethan said. Anna shuddered at his words, and more confusion came into her watery eyes.

"You and Gemma need me because you think of me as a family and you need me to take care of you. I'm really happy about that."

The look in Ethan's mild eyes was resolute. "But I don't want this feeling of being needed to become a burden to you. I don't hope it makes you feel guilty or affects your decisions."

Anna twitched her lips. The mist in her eyes coalesced and turned into crystal-clear tears.

"Silly bunny, go home! Think about it for some time! I'll be waiting for your answer." Finishing his words, Ethan showed a warm and gentle smile again on his face.

For so many things, he had gradually grown easy with them.

"I will wait for your answer, Anna."

"Do we really have to get a divorce?" Anna's eyes were hazy with tears.

The marriage certificate though was not for love, it was for the family!

If they divorced, would Ethan cut her off completely?

He had already moved out. Would he leave her and Gemma forever?

Someone once told her that if she felt guilty and pain in her heart for someone, it may not be love.

But if she was hesitant about someone, and she couldn't give a definite answer to others because of this person, that meant she still had feelings for him.

Anna didn't know how she should choose either. Now she was so confused and her heart hurt so bad!
