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

Chapter 185 You're Disgusting

Anna did not know about Bryan’s arrival.

She was busy having a video call with Jamie in her room.

Jamie was dressed in all black that day. He appeared a little haggard without makeup on his delicate face.

His hair was also messy and unkempt, making him appear somewhat depressed. He rested his chin on one hand while the other stroked the edge of his wine glass.

Even in that state, Jamie still gave off a peculiar sense of indolent beauty.

Anna's heart ached as she gazed at the screen to see Jamie's lack of his usual spirit. At the same time, she was quite curious about that handsome foreigner.

What kind of person could drain the spirit out of a fighter like Jamie?

"Babe, I’m in a bad mood.” Jamie drank a sip of wine.

"You couldn't win him over?" asked Anna.

"No, I couldn't even find him. It's as if he had vanished into thin air."

"Perhaps he went back to his country?"

"No, to find him, I asked some friends to ask around in airline companies. There was no record of him

entering or leaving at all. I've even asked the customs at railways and highways. All of them claimed that he had never left Johanness City."

Anna stared at him as if he was a freak. "Seriously? Technically, you've only seen him once. You don't even know what he looks like from the back. And yet you're head over heels for him?"

Jamie rolled his eyes at her. "My dear, it's called love a t first sight."

He downed the entire glass of wine. "I trust that it was a sudden burst of passion that led to our encounter."

"That does sound beautiful, but uncertainly holds even more beauty." Anna shrugged. "I think his disappearance is the main cause of your obsessive love." Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Jamie shook his head started reciting, "It turns out that all these years, fate had been toying with them. The time has come for their fate to ripen into destiny. Fate drew them together, then pulled them apart, blocking their paths as it held back its laughter. Then, fate stepped aside..."

Anna's jaw dropped as she watched Jamie instantly turn into a serious poet. She reached up and pinched herself.

"Ah... It hurts!" "What’s wrong, dear?"

Anna stared at him blankly. "I thought that I was dreaming. I can't believe you were reciting a poem! It was terrifying!"

Jamie glared at her angrily. "Humph! Shut up! I'm being serious here."

"Hehe, it's especially scary when you’re serious..."

Jamie's piercing gaze made Anna hastily take back what she said. "I was wrong! Your poem is amazing, Jamie. It touched me so deeply. My admiration for you is endless like the ripples on a raging river."

Jamie chuckled merrily. "I'm starting to admire you too, Little Annie. When did a candid girl like you learn to kiss up to others?"

Anna faced the screen and pretended to kiss Jamie." I'm kissing your arse right now! Haha..."

Jamie frowned. "My dear, are you possessed? Why have you suddenly become so unprincipled? What happened to the self-restraint of Ms. Anna Hamilton?"

Unprincipled?

Anna's laughter stopped abruptly.

An image of Liam teasing her appeared in her mind.

That man could always say such unprincipled things a s if there was nothing wrong with it. He always made her yearn to pounce onto him and take a few bites out of him...

Was she turning into him?

Anna wondered if he thought about her after their dinner together that night.

She knew that he wanted to help her, but in her current situation, and taking their status into account, she genuinely did not want to drag him into this.

She felt a dull pain in her heart. She stared blankly at the wristband on her wrist as her mind fell into disarray.

"Hey, hey, hey! Little Annie, did you get possessed? What's with that blank expression of yours? Did some tall and handsome man steal your soul?"

Anna snapped out of her trance. "Even if that was the case, you've already dragged my soul back! Someone’s knocking on my door. I'm hanging up first."

"Hey, hey, hey..."

Anna ended the video call.

She felt her way toward the door and opened it. Bryan turned to his side and instantly slipped inside her room. He shut the door behind him and even locked it.

"What are you doing!” Anna stared at him wide-eyed.

Bryan chuckled. "Anna, why are you widening your eyes? It's not like you can see."

"Bryan Dawson, what are you doing in my room!" Anna wanted to push him out but he grabbed her hands.

"I haven’t seen you for days. I kinda miss you.”

Anna hurriedly retracted her hands. She retreated several steps backward away from him. "Bryan, you're crossing the line! This is my home! Chloe is right outside! Please have some dignity!"

Bryan’s lips curled up into a playful smirk. "What dignity? Anna, you were supposed to be my fiancee anyway! If you had let me touch you earlier, the incident with your sister would never have happened!

"You are also a woman! You can also bear my child and become the future lady of the Dawson family..."

"Shut up! Do you not feel disgusted by your own words?" Anna yearned to slap him across the face.

Bryan was not the least bit bothered. He sauntered toward her, scanning her room as he did.

"What do you do in this room all day? Quietly be a blind girl? This is not something you can endure, Anna Hamilton!" Bryan casually grabbed a book from her table and flipped through it.

Anna hurriedly darted toward him and snatched it away.

Bryan would surely become suspicious if he figured out that she had been reading notes.

Those few days, Anna had cooped herself up in her room, working hard for her exam at the end of the month. Otherwise, she would lose her title as a top achiever.

Anna had enough of sitting around and waiting for her demise. The only way she could make a comeback was by coming in first during her internship assessment and successfully landing a job in the Ackman Group.

Bryan held his hands in the air. He gazed into Anna's eyes and gradually narrowed his. "Anna, your movements are pretty agile."

Anna hid away from his gaze. "I've lost my vision so long ago! I've developed super hearing. I've already gotten used to life as a blind!"

"You're so adaptable!" Bryan chuckled and took a step closer to Anna.

Terrified, she hurriedly took a step back. She could smell something fishy on him.

"What... What are you doing?”

"Why don't you take a guess?" Bryan slowly placed his hand on Anna's slender waist.

Anna yelped and hurriedly slapped his hand away.

"Bryan Dawson, how dare you touch me!"

"Don’t worry, your parents aren't home! I've locked Chloe outside the door. She won’t be able to come in... We can do whatever we please..." A naughty smile appeared on his face and a crude look emerged in his eyes. They gave Anna goosebumps all over her body.

"Bryan Dawson, you’re disgusting!"

"Don’t insult me! Aren't you the one that detested me s o much that you took revenge on me?" Bryan started laughing. "Turns out I do have a special place in your heart!

"Why did you pretend to be so reserved? So virtuous and aloof! Weren't you just making life hard for yourself? If you had submitted to me earlier, none of this would have happened!"

As Bryan spoke, he grabbed Anna and made her fall onto her bed with him.

"If you be a good girl and listen to me, I'll give you back everything that once belonged to you. How's that? Isn't it a generous offer?"

"Bryan Dawson, you bastard! Let go of me..."
