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

Chapter 87 Frail Little Lady

Anna quickly struggled with both hands.

"No, no, no!"

"A woman always means 'yes' when they say no!"

"Nonsense! Stay away from me!" Anna covered her mouth tightly.

Liam batted away her tiny hands and inched closer and closer to her. His handsome face magnified before her eyes.

"Pervert! You damn pervert... Y-y-you..."

Before Anna could finish, his forceful and overbearing kiss landed on her lips again. That was her punishment for angering him.

His erect sword pressed against her scabbard under the blanket. His heavy breaths made Anna's face redden and her heart thump.

Flustered, she closed her eyes and heard Liam's cold voice sounding beside her ear.

"Little lady, what are you getting excited for?"

Anna quivered, snapping out of her daze. She scrambled backward but lost her balance and fell off the bed. She yelped as she fell.

Liam reached out his long arms. He scooped her up from the floor and pulled her straight into his

embrace.

The perfect contours of his face appeared right before her eyes. He gazed at her with an expression resembling a smile. His voice was hoarse and suggestive.

"If you want it, just tell me. I'll give it to you."

Anna felt how big he was down there. She panicked and shook her head vigorously as if it was a rattle. Both her hands clutched tightly onto the blanket.

"No, no..." Her voice was low and soft. She sounded as i f she was begging for mercy.

"Huh? I haven't even gone in and you’re already begging for mercy? Or perhaps... you'd like me to make you beg for mercy?!”

Liam’s handsome face drew closer to hers. The fine and prickly hair on his forehead brushed against her face, sending jolts through her nerves, making her feel numb all over.

Her body tensed up. She did not dare to move an inch.

That pompous man was someone who dared to say and do whatever he wanted. He would not let her go just because they were in a hospital.

Liam watched as she trembled in fear. He chuckled and landed a gentle kiss on her clear forehead. Then, h e turned over and got off the bed.

He looked down at his groin and put on a helpless smile. If it were not for the little lady’s need for rest due to her healing eyes, he would never have restrained himself. He would have swallowed her whole!

Anna stared at him confusedly.

In her little head, she wondered, ‘He must be in agony right now. How is he enduring it? What a miracle!’

Liam scoffed. "What? Do you want it?"

Anna quickly turned her gaze away from his crotch. Her face instantly turned ruby red.

Liam smiled. He had enough of toying with her. “Did you seriously think I'll do something to you?"

"Alright, spill it," Liam said in a low tone.

Anna staggered. She inquired curiously, "Spill what?"

"Tell me when did you regain your vision. And why did you pretend you still couldn't see?" Liam guessed that Anna had regained her vision long ago; either that or her injury was not very severe from the beginning.

Anna grew silent. She did not know how to go about answering his questions.

Was she supposed to tell him that her sister f*cking around with his nephew? Was she supposed to tell him that her own sister had plotted to wound her eyes and she was merely pretending to fall for her scheme t o get back at her own sister?

There was no guarantee that Liam would believe her. More importantly, it would be humiliating to spill such ugly secrets about her family!

Besides, the only person she could rely on was herself. She did not wish to drag Liam into all this.

Liam did not press her for an answer either. He waited patiently for her reply.

"I realized I could see when you tore away my bandages."

"Then you should be thanking me."

Anna rolled her eyes. "As for why I pretended I couldn't see... It's because..."

"Because what?" Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Anna glanced at Liam. "Because I don't want to see you."

That was how easy it was to ignite Liam's flames of fury.

Anna noticed his expression turning dark. She gazed a t the ceiling, thinking, 'They should just nickname him as Mr. Hothead!’

"Clever girl! Well, I don't want to see you either!" Liam scoffed coldly.

Pain and helplessness emerged in her red and swollen eyes. Her voice was soft and faint.

"It's better to be in the dark when it comes to some

people... and some things."

Liam's eyes constricted. He thought about how painful it would have been if Anna had seen Bryan and Chloe flirting with each other as if no one was watching.

"Sometimes, it's best to turn a blind eye to some people!" Liam said profoundly.

Anna slowly closed her eyes. She kept silent.

Liam murmured, “You should always beware of the people around you, especially the ones closest to you."

Anna staggered. "What do you mean?"

A wise look appeared in Liam's eyes. "You know exactly what I mean. The only people who have access to your eyedrops are those by your side."

Anna hid away the astonishment in her eyes. She knew that Liam was smart enough to figure that out, but what surprised her was that Liam seemed to already have a suspect in mind.

"The culprit had long been revealed. The only thing that matters now is how you respond to it," he stated.

Anna gazed at Liam, not saying a word.

"Your eyes have just healed. You still need to medicate it. Exhausting your eyes can hurt them even more, so don’t take off your bandages." Liam personally wrapped the bandage around her eyes with caution.

Anna was a little touched. Sometimes, this man could be really gentle and nice to her.

If he continued like this, she might truly fall in love with him!

"But I have to say, you really are a stupid little lady! You've already fallen for her trap once in the Dawson family mansion, how did you manage to be fooled a second time!"

"How can my woman be such an idiot!" Liam looked down arrogantly at the foolish woman.

"How did you know that?" Anna wanted to know how Liam came to suspect Chloe.

"Hehe, how did I know you’re an idiot? Well, your stupidity is pretty blatant, so of course I'll know!"

Liam chuckled and mockingly scanned Anna's face.

Irritated, she fumed, "Liam Ackman, can't you speak seriously? You know what I'm asking you!"

"Oh? Now that your eyes have healed, you've developed quite the temper, huh?"

Hearing Liam’s slightly aloof tone, Anna pouted and stopped talking.

'This man is too used to using his overbearing tone to control others!’

Liam found it funny when he saw her subdued manner. Nonetheless, he decided to stop teasing her.

In his low voice, he said, "The incident at

Grandmother Dawson's birthday party was clearly part of a scheme. And it all started after your stepmother handed you that glass of wine.”

"Naha..."

Anna laughed wryly.

That kind of scheme could only fool a naive woman like her who still believed in familial bonds!

She tried her best to hold in the tears collecting in the corners of her eyes. Liam’s heart ached when he saw her stubbornly pretending to be strong.

A frail little lady like her should not be enduring so much hardship.

He sighed and gently rubbed her ink-black hair. Suddenly, she wrapped her arms around his waist and buried her face against his chest.

She felt the sudden urge to weep in his arms, letting out all the emotion she had been suppressing.

Alas, she still endured it.

She did not want to be a weak crybaby!

"Let me tell you a story," said Liam.
