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

Chapter 504 Just Let Things Slide

"Bridal boutique?"

Anna froze momentarily.

She could literally feel the pain in her heart, so suffocating. It was as if it hurt to even breathe.

Liam had actually run the bridal boutique to such a large scale, for his beloved wife. The stores had even been opened in England.

He really loved Winnie beyond with all his heart.

Indeed! He abandoned Anna and their daughter for that woman, the woman he loved wholeheartedly.

But why did he have to torture her so much?

In the beginning, he bought the bridal boutique for Anna, but then afterward he granted it to another woman. And he had expanded the store into a chain for Winnie.

Anna really got no position in his heart, didn't she?

Even what he had done for her, he could so easily grant it to someone else.

Why?

Why was he so cruel that he didn't leave her any fond memories?

"Anna, what are you thinking about?" Wilson asked.

Anna was startled for a moment and then she came back to her senses.

"Nothing... nothing."

"You said you had let go of the past, didn't you? Besides, you both have your own happiness now. Just don't think too much about it." This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

"Yes, I know."

However...

Anna clenched her hands tightly. For a moment, she was lost in her thoughts.

Wilson's eyes, turned to Anna's bare left hand, with no wedding ring on her finger. He frowned.

"You didn't lie to me, did you?"

"Emm..." It took quite a long time for Anna to respond. Then she asked awkwardly,

"What did you say?"

With a hopeless smile, Wilson said, "Nothing. Are you sure you don't want to go to the bridal boutique with m e?"

Anna shook her head, but then she nodded again." Why would I go there to do jewelry design?"

Wilson sighed slightly, "As you don't want to go there, I'll send someone else."

He would like to respect Anna's will as always. He didn't care what happened in the past anymore. But it seemed that Anna was not as careless as she said she was.

Anna clenched her fist and whispered, "Wilson, it's okay for me to participate in the completion held by S K jewelry, but I don't want to have any media interview."

"Why?" Wilson was surprised.

He couldn't really understand Anna. Joining SK Jewelry would not only increase Anna's fame but would also broaden the popularity of her design works.

When the time came, if the operation was successful, they could definitely cause a hit. It would hugely boost the sales of her works and Anna's fame in various channels.

Anna compressed her lips. "Wilson, Let's forget about the past. From now on, I just want to live a peaceful and quiet life. I don't want to appear in public. If I am exposed to the public, the media will definitely dig up my past..."

"I don't want my life to be disturbed."

Anna had heard a lot from Michelle about her bad reputation outside.

If people knew that Eileen turned out to be her, Anna, she didn't know what scandals about her would be brought up. 1

Anna didn't want to face those pressures again.

And she didn't want Gemma's life to be disrupted.

Wilson stared affectionately at Anna, his voice dull, "I understand. Okay then."

"Thanks, Wilson."

Anna went back home and told Ethan the whole story.

Ethan couldn't help but laugh. He patted Anna on her head. "My bunny loves to work behind the scenes, and that's fine."

Although Anna had got some fame then, the circle she lived in was small and limited after all.

There were so many rivalries out there, especially among various designers. Some people would really d o anything to become famous in one fell swoop.

"There's nothing wrong with you making that choice! We live a quiet and peaceful life now. We're just fine the way we are." Ethan said softly.

Very few people in the UK knew Anna, and she was known only as Eileen.

If Anna appeared in public, it was inevitable that she would be recognized by someone and her past be dug up.

"Official induction today. Isn't my bunny very happy?" Ethan said gently, "If you win an award later, it will be the pride of our family."

"Mmm." Anna nodded her head heavily and smiled.

"Mr. Collins, don't worry! I'll definitely work hard."

"That's good. From now on, you will concentrate on your work and the things you like. Don't bother with other things." Ethan patted Anna again on her head, his eyes full of doting.

"Remember, never underestimate your talent. Your abilities will always be beyond your expectations."

Anna puffed out a laugh, "You're all about encouraging me! But I'm very flattered."

Anna made a request to Wilson that night that although she joined SK, she wouldn't be going to the office and working there.

She didn't want to meet too many people. She just wanted to make her design quietly at home.

Besides, after three years of freelance work, Anna had got accustomed to this free lifestyle. She couldn't really get used to the socializing in the office.

Wilson agreed with her readily.

"However, you must promise that you will make notable achievements, or you won't get your money."

Reading Wilson's message, Anna couldn't resist her laugh.

The guy who had chased after Liam and claimed he loved him dearly, that Wilson, seemed to be a totally different person.

Everyone was changing. So was it time for her to make some changes too? 1

Like clearing the memory of that man from her heart for good.

The next day, Anna changed into a casual sports outfit and drove to Art Street.

She liked it there, ancient and artistic. That place always gave her a lot of inspiration.

Basking in the bright sunshine, with a cup of black coffee on the European-style table, was indeed an enjoyable pleasure.

Anna sat in an inconspicuous spot on the street corner, watching the wandering painters everywhere o n the street, who were talking in groups of three or five and occasionally hanging their scrolls on the shelves outside.

It was hard to understand artists with ordinary people's thinking.

They didn't care how much a painting could be sold a t, but only let things slide. If someone liked the painting very much, they were willing to sell it to him even if the latter offered little.

Anna felt that at then, she was very much the same as those artists. Just let things slide. As long as someone truly liked her work, she would give it away even for free.

Perhaps, that was also a way of life.

Don't bother too much with life and just let things slide.

"Eileen, what are you doing here?" Kelly was surprised to see Anna there, seeing Anna sitting next to a wandering painter painting with an intent look on her face.

"Eileen..."

Anna finally came back to her senses. She looked at Kelly, whose face was full of surprise, and she smiled briskly.

"I'm working on my design."

"Honey, you plan to come back? It's so great! You should have come back sooner! You belong here, not back home taking care of the kids."

"Well, sort of." Anna nodded her head.

Before, Ethan had been busy with his work and no one could take care of Gemma, so Anna thought she should put her dream aside for a while and go home to take care of Gemma.

She didn't need to make money anyway. Ethan had done such a good job with Lincoln Group and the company's performance was excellent. Anna's dividended in the company would be more than enough for her and Gemma.

However, later, she came to realize that Gemma was not easy to take care of. Coming out to work would be much easier.

"I didn't leave in the first place, so how should I say I'm back?" Anna said while drawing a beautiful pearl o n her drawing board.

At that moment, Kelly suddenly exclaimed, "What a handsome man!"

Kelly tugged Anna and pointed at the antique TV set not far away. "Eileen, look, isn't that man so handsome!"

The moment Anna looked up, the smile on her face instantly froze. She could only hear the reporter's voice in her ears.

"Mr. Ackman, you have run the Ackman Group so well. Do you have any experience to share with us?"
