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

Chapter 132 Visit From an Esteemed Guest

"Anna, you look like you're feeling much better today. You must be bored out of your mind these days. Let m e take you out for some fresh air."

Bryan stood attentively around Anna, like a caring and affectionate fiance. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

Anna turned her head away slightly. She did not want to see Bryan running circles around her. "It's quite nice in the house. I don't feel like going out."

Chloe commented in a cute voice, "How can she be bored with us taking care of her! Right, Anna?"

She did not want Bryan to take Anna out either!

Anna’s lips curled up slightly. She gazed at Anna's beautiful dainty face and said, "But it'll be nice to go out for a stroll too."

Charles was right. Not every action could bring her luck, but taking no action would surely bring her no luck.

It was time she made the first move instead of waiting to counter others' attacks. Otherwise, she would be no different than a turtle hiding in its shell.

"I'll go with Anna!" Chloe offered hastily.

Displeased, Bryan furrowed his brows. He shot a glance at Chloe, warning her to back down.

Chloe pretended as if she did not see a thing. She smiled sweetly. "Bryan, you're a man. Anna can't see well and there'll be no one to keep an eye on her when she goes to the restroom."

Nicole quickly agreed, "That's right, that's right! You're so thorough, Chloe! Bryan, it will be more convenient i f you bring Chloe with you.”

"It's okay, that's just a small matter! We're getting married soon. Rest assured, Mrs. Hamilton, I can take good care of Anna." Bryan held Anna's hand warmly. His tender eyes gazed deeply at Anna.

It was as if Anna was the only person in his eyes at that moment. Chloe felt her chest tighten again.

Anna smiled faintly. "Let's take Chloe too! It’s more convenient with her taking care of me."

Seeing that Anna had already voiced her opinion, Bryan had no choice but to accept.

Bryan helped Anna into the car and buckled her seatbelt for her. "Anna, where would you like to go?"

Before Anna could open her mouth, Chloe butted in," Bryan, I know of a nice restaurant that just opened recently. Let's go have lunch there! And after lunch, w e can go shopping!"

Bryan turned to Anna. "What do you think, Anna?"

“Let's go to the Dawson family mansion. I'd like to visit

Grandma."

Of course, Anna did not genuinely want to visit Grandmother Dawson. It was Charles that ordered her to go to the Dawson family mansion. He heard Nicole calling out for Anna and announcing Bryan's arrival through her wristband.

What was Charles planning this time!

She yearned to break free from the feeling of being controlled by others. However, Charles was blackmailing her. If she did not listen to his commands, he would reveal her secret.

Anna had no choice but to obey.

Chloe clenched her teeth angrily. She glared at Anna. How dare she ruin her date with Bryan!

They arrived at the Dawson family mansion where Grandmother Dawson was taking a brisk walk in the garden.

Chloe glanced at Anna. She did not give her the chance to speak first. Chloe quickly ran up to Grandmother Dawson and wrapped her arm around hers.

She said in a sweet voice, "Grandma, we're here to visit you!"

"Oh, Chloe! How thoughtful of you to come and visit m e!"

"Grandma, I missed you! How have you been?" Chloe snuggled up to Grandmother Dawson's shoulder like a n adorable little child.

"Good, good."

Grandmother Dawson turned around and saw Anna standing not far from her. Standing next to Bryan, the two of them looked like the perfect couple. A joyous smile instantly bloomed on Grandmother Dawson’s face.

"Anna, you’re here too? How are you? Have you recovered well?"

"I’m much better now, Grandma." With Bryan’s help, Anna walked in front of Grandmother Dawson.

"Grandma, I saw that the weather is pleasant today, so I thought I'll bring Anna out for a stroll. Even so, she was adamant about visiting you," Bryan smiled as he sang praises of Anna.

"You are the best, Anna. How thoughtful of you to think of me." Grandmother Dawson took Anna’s chilly hands. "What’s wrong Anna? Are you feeling cold?"

Anna quickly shook her head. "I'm fine. Could be the wind."

Grandmother Dawson inspected Anna's eyes. "You still can't see anything?”

Anna smiled. "Not really. Two days ago, Chloe shined a n ultra-bright torchlight into my eyes and my eyes closed subconsciously. I assume that is a sign of recovery. One of these days, I'll head to the hospital again for a check-up."

Chloe's expression changed abruptly. Her palms were covered in sweat. She could sense hostility from the pretty smile on Anna’s face.

Grandmother Dawson glanced at Chloe. She had long known that Chloe had ill will toward Anna. Chloe must have shone that torchlight into Anna’s eyes on purpose.

Grandmother Dawson’s gaze sent a chill down Chloe’s spine. She chuckled dryly. "I just wanted to stimulate Anna's eyes a little to check if she can see anything.”

"Anna, when you’re free, don’t coop yourself up at home all the time. Come take a walk around the Dawson family mansion and keep me company too.”

"It’s inconvenient for me to leave home with my eyes like this," Anna replied in a soft tone.

Chloe hurriedly put on her cute act. "Grandma, I can always come and keep you company... Grandma, it can’t be that you only want Anna to accompany you, right? What about me?" i

Chloe yearned to have a good relationship with Grandmother Dawson. That way, it would be easier for her to marry into the Dawson family.

Grandmother Dawson turned to her with a smile. "I’m just afraid that you might be busy."

"Grandma, I’m not busy. What can I possibly be busy with?" Chloe smiled sweetly.

Grandmother Dawson smiled and replied, "You’re already all grown up, Chloe. I'm worried you might be busy looking for a boyfriend."

Chloe's cheeks reddened. She subtly glanced at Bryan, but Bryan did not dare to look at her. His attention was focused solely on Anna.

Grandmother Dawson personally took Anna's hand and brought her into the house. "It's cold outside. Even your little hands are cold like ice, Anna.”

Anna knew that Grandmother Dawson genuinely cared about her. A feeling of warmth welled up in her heart.

Grandmother Dawson caressed Anna's slender wrist. She asked abruptly, "Anna, why aren't you wearing the bracelet I gave you?"

"Grandma, I can't see well right now. It's a precious gift. What if I accidentally break it? I've kept it safe."

That was a family heirloom of the Dawson family. It was a precious emerald bracelet that could only be passed down to the true granddaughter-in-law of the Dawson family. Naturally, Anna would not dare to wear it everywhere and parade it ostentatiously.

Grandmother Dawson brought Anna to the living room. They sat down for a while before a maid came i n to remind Grandmother Dawson that it was time to check her blood pressure and take her medication.

The maid helped Grandmother Dawson back to her room, leaving Anna, Chloe, and Bryan alone in the living room.

Seeing that Grandmother Dawson had left, Chloe's mind started to run wild again. She gazed at Anna with provocative eyes.

Anna raised her brows slightly when she saw Chloe silently moving to the seat next to Bryan. Her dainty hands hooked onto his fingers. She grabbed his large hand and placed it on her long leg.

Bryan hurriedly retracted his arm. He glared at Chloe irritatedly, silently giving her a warning.

Chloe put on a sly smirk. She grabbed his hand again and scratched his palm gently. She mouthed silently," It's okay. Anna can't see."

Anna held onto the wristband around her wrist. She had an impassive look in her eyes.

She was angry that Chloe was acting as if no one was watching, but she was more distracted by the reason behind Charles's command. Why did he want her to be at the Dawson family mansion?

Just then, she saw the maids scrambling frantically in the kitchen. It seemed like they were preparing lunch for an esteemed guest.
