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

Chapter 774 Ethan Was Also Selfish

Anna quickly calmed down to hide her surprise and pushed the gift back to Liam.

"It's too expensive. I can't accept it."

"You don't want this watch because of its price or you refuse it because of the meaning of it?" Liam asked directly.

Liam domineeringly grabbed Anna's hand and put the watch on her wrist.

"Wear it every day. Don't take it off."

At this moment, Anna felt as if the time went back to the moment when Liam put the wristband on her wrist.

Back then she was still young and naive so she was deeply attracted by his domineering aura and fell in love with him crazily.

'What does he mean now?'

'Capture my heart in this way?'

She wanted to take it off. But when she met Liam's domineering eyes, she had to wear the watch.

"You help our company and even give me such an

expensive gift. This makes me bashful. So let me give you a gift, too."

Liam raised his eyebrows. "I'm afraid that the profit from this project is not enough for you to give me a gift! Wait. Give the gift to me when I want you to give me."

'As expected.'

'He wants me to owe a debt of gratitude to him.’

"Well, then I will accept it!"

It seemed that Anna didn't have to be too polite to him.

This was what he owed her!

She deserved it.

As for whether to give him a gift or not, it depended on Anna’s mood.

Anyway, this shiny diamond watch was really beautiful, setting off her fair skin and slender arm.

Liam smiled happily when he saw Anna's unconcealed liking for the watch.

He put one hand in the pocket of his trousers. His dark eyes were tinged with a hint of tenderness.

'It's good as long as she likes it.'

Time flew quickly and it was the New Year.

Since there would be more tasks as more companies cooperated with the Lincoln Group, almost everyone was busy finishing their work at the end of the year.

As the star program would be broadcast and the New Year theme was the first episode, Anna had to prepare for a business trip.

Liam used work as a reason to ask her to make preparations to spend the New Year in another place.

When Anna thought that she couldn't spend the New Year with Gemma at home, she felt very uncomfortable. But as the entire crew was now intensively preparing for the filming process, Anna must also work hard.

"Do you think this sweater is suitable for me?" Anna stood in front of the mirror, holding a red sweater.

Ethan took a beige turtleneck sweater and handed it t o Anna.

"You will go to film the program with the crew, right? The winter over there is dry and cold so you have to wear more. Red is too eye-catching, not as inconspicuous and comfortable as beige."

"You are always considerate." Anna originally intended to dress more festively for the New Year.

But Anna would go on a business trip with Liam. If she wore this red sweater, maybe others would think that she tried to seduce Liam.

"This one is also good. You will look good in it." Ethan chose a light gray sweater for Anna.

But in the direction that Anna couldn't see, Ethan's eyes were tinged with a trace of sadness and unwillingness.

Ethan knew very well what it meant if Anna went on a business trip with Liam.

Ethan wanted to use Gemma as an excuse to keep Anna stay, but he couldn't do that.

Because...

Liam met him a few days ago and talked to him.

"I can give her a better and more complete family. Ethan, you can't give her this."

"I can make her live peacefully and happily." Ethan refuted.

It was also Ethan’s only bargaining chip, the only reason with which he persuaded himself to be with Anna.

Liam laughed. "The happiness you give is just the happiness that makes her feel comfortable! You should know that the person she loves is me and being with the man she loves is her greatest happiness."

"The happiness you can give her is just the happiness that she thinks she wants, not her real happiness."

"I can give her the greatest happiness and also make her safe and happy for a lifetime. She needn't have to rush around and toil like this with you. She wants to protect the Lincoln Group and I only need to move my fingers to do it. But you, Ethan, you can't do it at all."

"I have the ability and it's just a matter of time. As long as I am given enough time, I believe I will not do worse than anyone else!" Ethan also believed that one day he could catch up with Liam.

But he still needed time.

"Ethan, you are indeed very capable, and you are also very good at dealing with things. But your family background is too humble. You can only always be at a disadvantage in front of me."

"This society is very realistic. Family background is more important than competence." Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Looking at Liam's noble aura like a king, Ethan had to feel that God showed his preference to Liam.

Liam had the financial power that few people in the world could have and many people couldn’t obtain the same career achievements as Liam even though they worked very hard in a lifetime.

"I can let her do what she likes best! Let her enjoy the carefree life under my protection! But you are not able to give her this."

"Besides, Ethan, you are also very clear about what you hide from Anna. She and I... There is still a misunderstanding between her and me that has not been solved. But I am not eager to solve it now.

Because that thing is always her scar. My explanation can't really cure her. Only when she lets go of it can

she really become happy."

Ethan would never forget the confidence on Liam's face and Liam's domineering aura at that time.

Ethan truly felt that he was completely defeated this time.

Looking at Ethan's faraway look, Anna stretched out her hand and shook it gently in front of his eyes.

"Ethan? What are you thinking about?"

"No... I didn't think about anything." Ethan quickly brought himself back to earth, but his expression was a little unnatural.

"Ethan, if you really don't want me to leave, how about I negotiate with Liam now?"

"No, you'd better go. Work is important." Ethan coughed slightly to conceal his unwillingness. "Don't worry about Gemma, I will take care of her."

Anna had always felt assured when Ethan took care of Gemma.

Anna looked at Ethan with some doubts. "I always feel that you are a bit strange."

Ethan hurriedly laughed. "How come! It happens that there are a few friends in the UK who want to get together with me. I take Gemma to the UK to spend the New Year."

Ethan tried hard to fake a smile and hide his real emotions.

Anna nodded.

"Okay. It's better to spend the New Year with more people, lest Gemma always want my company."

Ethan was selfish when he thought about taking Gemma to the UK for the New Year.

If Liam wanted to take Gemma and Anna together for a family reunion, Liam couldn't go to the UK to pick u p Gemma.

Liam had already taken Anna away, and Ethan didn't want Liam to take Gemma away from him.

Ethan hurriedly helped Anna pack her things. "Well, you don't have to worry about things at home. I will take care of Gemma very well. When you come back, you will see her bouncing around."

Seeing that Ethan looked the same, Anna gradually let go of the worries in her heart.

"Well, Ethan... Take care of yourself. It's cold now."

Ethan smiled. "Obviously, you are the person who should take care of yourself well."

"Okay, I'll set off. Otherwise, when Gemma wakes up, she will not let me go."
