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

Chapter 113 Am I Just a Pastime to You?

It was a modern romance movie with an artistic touch. Most of the scenes were dragged out but with beautiful cinematography. The male and female lead loved each other but could not be together-that was the tear-jerking plot behind the entire movie.

Anna subtly glanced at the man sitting beside her. She did not expect Liam to bring her to the movies-especially not this kind of movie. Who knew a brash and simple man like him would watch an emotional film about painful love...

Anna shook away the goosebumps on her body. No matter how she looked at it, this scene did not suit him at all.

Even so, Liam did not say a word. In fact, he seemed to be pretty absorbed in the movie, leaving Anna with no choice but to force herself to watch. Nonetheless, her mind had wandered off to a place far away...

Halfway through the movie, they heard some girls whispering, "What's wrong with people nowadays? How could they kiss like that in a theater? Look, even her dress has been lifted."

"Tut-tut, do you not see where her hand is? It's already in his pants."

Anna heard them mention where this couple was sitting. She looked down...

When she saw the couple making out in the theater, her eyes widened.

It was them!

Bryan and Chloe!

What were they doing there?

Anna quickly covered her face and put on her mask.

Liam slowly turned to the frozen little lady beside him. His eyes were calm and emotionless.

"I paid to watch a movie but ended up with a live performance. Looks like the money I spent is worth it after all!" someone joked.

"How unprincipled! This is a public space!"

More people joined in on the denunciation.

"I bet they have no money to get a hotel room, so they’re doing it here instead."

"What do you know? Some people like the thrill of it!"

"What a distasteful sight!"

"Just go home and do it already! Enough with the foreplay! By the time you're done, there's already a baby on the floor!"

Liam's eyes grew dark. He put his arm around Anna and pulled her close.

He whispered into her ears, "Still trust him now?"

Anna pressed her lips together. She did not react.

'When have I ever trusted Bryan?'

She shot a glance at Liam from the corner of her eyes. That two-faced man sure knew how to hold a grudge. He was still bitter about what happened in the hospital that day!

Anna sat properly and continued to watch the movie. Nonetheless, her body was still stiff. An ambiguous look flashed in her eyes.

Anna did not have any feelings for Bryan anymore, but at the end of the day, he was still her fiance.

Moreover, the woman beside him was her sister. Did they even think about her feelings when they made out as if no one was watching?

Liam, too, continued to watch the movie. He did not say a word after that.

After a while, two employees of the theater came in and stood in front of Bryan and Chloe. They whispered something to them which put a wrathful expression on Chloe’s face and a discontented look on Bryan's. They started arguing.

"What? You want us to leave? Do you know who I am? How dare you talk to me like that!" Bryan was outraged. How dare a measly theater employee kick him out!

"Sir, I don't care who you are. Your actions have disrupted the experience of the other moviegoers. Someone logged a complaint about you two, so please cooperate with us."

"Complain? Tell whoever it is that complained to come to see me! How did we disrupt anything? Is there some rule that says we can't make out in a theater?" Chloe scoffed. She crossed her legs and continued sitting on the chair. Evidently, she was not afraid that this incident would be blown out of proportion.

"If you offend us, you better be ready for the consequences!" Chloe warned arrogantly.

Those watching the movie had their view blocked by them. Annoyed, they started shouting at them. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

"Hey! Whatever it is, go deal with it outside! You're blocking my view!"

"Are you gonna let us watch the movie or what?"

"What a shameless couple! They must have come to the theater to have an affair!"

Bryan and Chloe were enraged by all the shaming. They yelled loudly, "All of you, shut up!"

Suddenly, someone threw an empty bottle at Bryan. H e instantly exploded with rage.

"Who did that!"

Following the bottle were handfuls of popcorn being hurled at the two.

Chloe covered her face and yelped. All sorts of cuss words came out of her mouth. She grabbed Bryan and frantically ran away.

Finally, peace returned to the screening hall.

The stiff corner of Anna’s lips twitched. She whispered to Liam, "Are those two your men?"

Liam replied coolly, "Revenge!"

U H

Anna was in no mood to watch the movie anymore. Even so, Liam put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her in tight, giving her no chance to struggle.

"No wonder you brought me to the movies! It was a great show!" Anna's heart ached a little, yet she had no idea why.

She had always known that Bryan was cheating on her with Chloe. She was long past the phase of heartache, so why did her chest feel so tight?

Liam did not say anything.

"Is this fun to you?"

Liam still kept silent.

"You think I'm laughable, don't you?

"I'm an idiot to think that you brought me to the theaters to clear my mind. In reality, you just had a little show planned in here.

"Does it make you happy? Doing all this? Is it amusing to you? Is this how you deal with boredom!" 2

"Enough, Anna! Have you said enough!" Liam looked down at her with ice-cold eyes.

"I honestly never understood you. Are you just bored?" Was that why he kept clinging onto her, never wanting to let go?

"You're right, I am bored." The only times he was not bored was when she was with him.

Before he met Anna, he did not even know what boredom was. Only after he knew her did he realize how dull his life was without her around. He felt as if there was no joy or excitement in his life.

"So I'm just a pastime to you?" Anna's eyes were starting to turn red.

"If you're just a pastime, you'd be on my bed rather than sitting here in this theater!" Liam growled irritatedly.

Anna's dainty face flushed red.

She was a little sad, but the moment she locked eyes with him, her sadness melted away.

"I’m just showing you the reality of things! If you don't see it with your own eyes, you won't be able to face your own heart!" Liam only explained it vaguely, then stopped talking. He dragged Anna out of the theater.

Anna followed obediently. As she pondered upon the words he said, she gradually gained a sense of clarity i n her heart. 1

"Are you saying I should buck up and pour all my energy into fighting back?" Anna whispered. 1

Liam turned his head back abruptly. His piercing eyes stared straight at her. "I guess you'll always be a stupid woman! If you let them trample on you until you can’t even sit up, no one would pity you even if you cry!"

'Uh...'

Liam dragged her to the parking lot. A car parked not far from his was shaking violently.

Anna paid no attention to that. She continued to ask Liam, "Then what do you mean? I'm already trying my best to fight back. What else can I do? It's not like I'm a black belt karate master who can kill someone with a kick!"

"Why do you talk so much?" Liam complained.

Anna pressed her lips together and shut up.

"Do you wanna try that?" Liam turned to the shaking car.

"What?" Anna blinked at him innocently. When she finally realized what he was referring to, her face turned red hot.

"Liam Ackman, you perverted bastard!"
