Chapter 139 The Show Is About to Begin

When Bryan noticed Anna’s arrival, he quickly took over from the waiter and personally helped Anna to the table he had reserved.

"Anna, you look so beautiful today." Bryan gazed at Anna with affectionate eyes.

Anna smiled silently. Bryan was a huge liar. She did not put on any makeup and came out in her casual clothes that day, yet he could still spit out the words ' you look so beautiful today'.

The people dining beside them turned to Bryan and Anna with glances of admiration.

"Quick, look! It's the eldest daughter of the Hamilton family and the son of the Dawsons."

"I heard that Ms. Hamilton's eyes have not healed completely yet. From the looks of it, her injury must be serious. She even needs someone to guide her."

"She can't have turned blind, right?"

"Nonsense! The Lincoln Group is so wealthy! There's n o way they would let their successor, the future CEO of their company, turn blind!"

Like an elegant gentleman, Bryan cut Anna’s steak for her and even personally fed the cut pieces to her. Everyone around them watched with admiration again.

"I thought that their marriage of convenience will be solely based on profit. Who knew that her fiance was s o gentle and compassionate toward her! She is such a lucky girl."

"I envy her so much. Her fiance is handsome and rich. Moreover, he treats her so well. They're such a loving couple..."

Anna chuckled wryly in her heart.

Lucky? Loving? Those things were nothing but an act he put on for the outside world.

Anna finally understood why Bryan did not book the entire restaurant that day. Moreover, he chose the peak hour to ask her out for lunch. Evidently, he only wanted to show the world how much he 'loved' her!

"Bryan, Chloe was the one that drove me here today. I think she's still outside. Should we ask her to join us?" Anna suggested in a soft tone.

Bryan’s hands trembled a little. "Anna, we’re on a date. Isn't it a bad idea for her to join us?"

"But it's not nice to make her wait outside either. She's my sister."

Bryan hesitated for a while, then whispered, "Anna, there's something I'd like to say, but I don't know if I should."

"Go ahead.” "Don't get me wrong-Chloe is a good girl, but... As her brother-in-law, I avoid arousing other's suspicions, right? The next time we go on a date, try not to bring her along."

"Bryan, what happened? You weren’t like this in the past. You were always very nice to Chloe and you even said that you would treat her like your own sister. Do you not like my sister now?" Anna furrowed her brows unhappily. Bryan quickly explained.

"No, Anna. I’m just saying, I'm her brother-in-law. I can see her as my own sister, but at the end of the day, she isn't. Do you know what I'm getting at?"

Bryan felt like his words were very clear, yet Anna still had a muddled expression on her face.

"Bryan, did something happen that upset you?"

"No, no!” Bryan was starting to panic. How could Anna still not understand what he was trying to get at!

"Anna, this is a date between the two of us. I really don't want another woman here." She must have understood after hearing that, right?

Anna gazed at Bryan silently. Of course, she knew what Bryan was implying. He wanted to say that Chloe had inappropriate intentions toward him. That way, even if Anna were to find out about their illicit relationship someday, Bryan would be able to keep his name clean.

That bastard Bryan! Did he think that he could just wipe his hands when he was done and put it all behind him as if nothing had happened? How naive!

"Chloe seems to like you a lot. It'd devastate her if you're suddenly distancing yourself from her." Anna sighed softly.

"Chloe may be stubborn at times and likes to throw little tantrums, but at the end of the day, she's still my sister. Bryan, please be a little more tolerant toward her, for my sake."

Bryan held Anna's hand and said in an earnest and affectionate tone, "Anna, don't worry. No matter what Chloe does, she will still be your sister. I will surely be tolerant and forgiving toward her."

After that, Bryan continued.

"Anna, you are so kind. It is my honor to be able to meet a good woman like you in my lifetime."

Liam was gazing down at that scene from the upper floor of the Maison Restaurant. His face turned green with anger.

Fortunately, Anna hurriedly pulled her hand away from his. She smiled and said to Bryan, "Bryan, I'll call Chloe right now and ask her to come in."

Anna quickly called Chloe's phone and asked her to join them for lunch. Chloe still kept her guard up against her. She did not enter.

Thus, Anna passed the phone over to Bryan. "Bryan, quick, invite her to join us!"

Bryan held out against it for a while but still yielded in the end. He had no choice. Only then did Chloe sprint into the restaurant excitedly.

"Anna! Bryan!"

Bryan shot an irritated glance at Chloe. Even so, she sat beside him. She smiled and said to Anna, who was sitting opposite of her.

"I thought you'd forgotten about me, Anna. The sun is s o bright outside. I was starting to get dizzy from the heat." i

Chloe turned to Bryan with pitiable eyes. "Bryan, you're not mad at me for interrupting your date with Anna, are you?"

Chloe's eyes were misty. She gazed at Bryan with a sorrowful expression. Meanwhile, under the table, her fingers were gently crawling around his thighs. Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

Bryan's whole body tensed up. However, seeing Anna smiling so cheerfully, he had no choice but to reply, "0 f course not! It's fun to dine together, hehe...”

Bryan quickly smacked Chloe's hand away.

"That's right, it's more fun with all of us together. It felt a little weird without Chloe’s cheerful vibe!" Anna turned her head and put on a bright and vibrant smile.

Bryan loved Anna's new personality. She appeared friendly, yet remained cool and distant at the same time. She gave him the erratic feeling that she was close within, yet floating far in a distance. He yearned to grab hold of her, yet every time he felt like he had her in his hands, she would cleverly wiggle her way

out again.

He had a strong desire to conquer her. He trusted that one day, he would have her subdued.

Seeing Bryna's gaze fixed on Anna made Chloe feel immensely uncomfortable. She quickly took out a bottle of eye drops from her bag.

"Anna, your eye drops. Don't forget to use them.”

Anna smiled. "You're so thoughtful, Chloe. You always take care of me so meticulously.”

Of course, Anna did not dare to use the eye drops Chloe handed her. She gently placed it aside.

Chloe was seamlessly moving closer and closer to Bryan. Bryan hurriedly moved away from her.

Chloe knew that Bryan was keeping his distance from her. She knew that his heart was in disarray. Even so, she forcefully tried to cling onto him. 1

"Bryan, why aren't you using your napkin? Let me help you.” Chloe quickly grabbed a napkin. She carefully spread it onto Bryan’s lap neatly.

Chloe took the chance to squeeze his thighs again and 'accidentally' touched his...

Bryan's whole body tensed up again. He quickly turned to Anna.

Chloe gazed at Bryan with tender eyes, holding back the sorrow in her heart. She smiled and joked, "Bryan, i f you keep looking at Anna, she might soon melt into

your eyes. It’s not like she will run away."

Bryan curled the corners of his lips awkwardly. Under the table, Chloe was toying with his thighs with her leg. She caressed his thighs gently, igniting flames within his body.

Anna watched them in silence. A subtle smile appeared in the corner of her lips.

'Go ahead and have fun! The show is about to begin!'
