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

Chapter 549 You're Too Stubborn

549: You're Too Stubborn

Anna was dejected and went back to Nina's home. She knocked at the door. The one came to open the door was Jamie.

He sighed, leaned over, and asked agonizingly, "My dear Anna, how do you bring up such a smug girl?"

Anna was confused.

She looked inside with an aslant head and saw Gemma standing on the sofa majestically. Gemma was jiggling her little skirt and making various poses. She and Nina, who was standing on the floor, were conducting a beauty contest to figure out who was prettier.

Jamie grumbled, "She's only a little brat. But she's already obsessed with being beautiful and dressing u p. Who knows how she would become when she grows up."

Hearing Jamie's words, Gemma discontentedly pestered him, "I'm not a brat. I am not just a one- or two-year-old baby. I'm over three years old."

Anna and Jamie were speechless.

Gemma continued to jiggle her little skirt and asked in a lovely voice, "Auntie Nina, you must think I'm prettier than you, don't you?"

Nina tried not to laugh out loudly and was about to fight back with some words. Gemma blinked and talked to herself, "I know I'm so lovely that each of you admit it."

Nina was dumbfounded, thinking this girl was too mischievous.

Nina limply fell on the sofa, "Sweetie, I've got nothing o n you. Who do you think is the most beautiful in this room?" Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

Gemma was so pleased that she tilted her little head and thought, "Auntie Jamie, of course. She's prettier than Gemma, just a little bit."

“Honey, I'm your uncle Jamie." Jamie pouted and crossed hands in the chest, saying solemnly, "And, among gentlemen, I'm the most handsome one for sure."

"No. You're not." Gemma jumped off the sofa and pouted, "My daddy is the most handsome and bestlooking man."

Jamie disagreed. He suddenly raised up his iconic feminine dancing gesture and walked to Gemma," Honey, that's not true. See? Look at me..."

"No. I'm not going to look at you. You are not as handsome as my daddy. My daddy is the most handsome, best-looking and politest gentleman. All in all, my daddy is the best man."

Gemma shook her little head and continued, "When I grow up, I must marry a man like my daddy." "Then you tell me, little darling, does your father have long legs as mine?"

"Yes."

"Is his butt as firm as mine?"

"Of course!"

"Is he..."

Hearing the quarrel between this big guy and the little one, Anna moved her lips a little bit, but there was no trace of smile on her face at all.

"Anna, what's wrong with you? Why does your face look so pale?" Noticing something wrong with Anna, Nina hurriedly came over to her.

Anna shook her head, but suddenly heard Gemma's screaming.

"No, my daddy is the most charming!"

Looking along the way the sound coming from, She saw the two of them were looking at each other in anger and jealousy in the living room.

In the children's world, their daddy is undoubtably the most lofty and powerful. Ethan happened to be this kind of good father, which was one out of a million.

Anna sighed slightly, feeling utterly confused.

It was helpless and chaotic.

"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling sick?" Nina touched her forehead, not feeling hot, then put down her hand again.

Anna sighed and whispered, "Nina, I suddenly feel sorry to Ethan."

"Sorry?" Nina didn't understand why she said so.

Anna nodded and told Nina all the things that happened after she went to see Daniel in jail, including the words that those lovers said in the wedding photography shooting scene on the way to her home.

"Nina, I do not know why those simple words touched me that much. Probably my mood was just down to the ground after I walked out from the jail.

"Anna, don't bother yourself so much." Nina went to give her a glass of water and comforted her.

"Actually, it's very simple."

"Ask your heart what it really wants."

Nina was also very struggling. She always wished Anna would forgive Liam, which might lead a happy ending to this family, giving Gemma a complete home.

After all, happiness should not be mingled with white deception and lies.

If you chose to keep concealing, there must be a day when all the lies got exposed.

Gemma was so smart. When she grew older, she would figure out the fact easily.

The speech Jamie made on that day was reasonable. Nina also didn't want Anna to suffer any injustice. She had been living so hard.

Anna didn't want to take risk for the rest of her life, which may lead to constant sufferings.

"But what about Gemma?" Anna bowed her head and drank some water, pressing down the dysphoria in her heart.

She spoke slowly, "Gemma should have had a happy family like this. Ethan treated her so well, as if she were his own child. And he's been nice to me these years as well."

"Isn't such a beautiful and calm life that every child keens for, as well as that a woman dreams of?"

"I have also convinced myself numerous times to walk away from the past, to cherish the person in front of m e, to stop making Ethan await, and even to propose to him."

"But, after returning to Johannes City, I found I lost my mind."

"I even think that it's a harm to Ethan if I accept the marriage under such circumstance."

"So I hesitated when Ethan called me to go for a wedding-dress fitting." "Nina, please tell me what to do."

"I'm really confused."

Nina held Anna's hands pitifully, wanting to say something but getting stuck by a second thought.

Jamie came over and discreetly cut in their talk,

"Hey babies, you've thought too much, and also too sadly."

Anna saw him came over, which reminded her Gemma might be around.

She hurried to look for Gemma, only to find her making a big bite on an apple in the living room.

She felt relieved, as she didn't want to let Gemma know such things too early.

Jamie saw her panic and poked slightly on her cheek, "Look how scared you are. How would you think of me letting Gemma come along to listen to what you're talking about?"

"But my sweetheart, why are you so confused?"

Jamie painstakingly looked at Anna, "Actually, there are two reasons to explain this."

"One is because of ignorant love. It was beautiful and pure. You thought it was love."

"In fact, it wasn't until one day you met another man, who taught you what unforgettable love was."

"But, you've been badly hurt that you may not be able t obear anymore."

"You should have given up that man. But you were too stubborn, wanting to give up the whole forest just for a tree."

Anna bit her lips faintly. She thought she loved Bryant when she was in the university. But she felt upset just for a short while when he betrayed her.

Probably that didn't count as love at all. She was upset just because of her feeling of being abandoned and losing something.

After that, she gradually fell in love with Liam. She just knew what true love was like, which may make her cry, make her painful, make her sleepless...

But just as what Jamie said, she'd been physically and mentally exhausted, unable to bear such feelings.

After quite a while, she said in a faint voice, "In other words, the fact is quite clear, isn't it?"

Jamie sighed, "I don't know if it's a fact or not. But what I can see very clearly is Ethan's sincerity to you."

"Anna, my baby, we've grown up. The love in reality is what we should pursue."

"Get down to the earth, won't you?"

"But what if I'm still missing everything in the past?"

Anna suddenly raised her head, looking at Jamie.
