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

Chapter 146 Rascal

Anna felt her heart ache a little.

At first, she still felt some sadness within her, but all o f it was instantly shattered by Liam’s words and turned into anger which went straight to her head.

Anna stood up from the riverside and resisted the urge to beat him. She faced the glow of the setting sun as she stared at Liam's well-defined handsome face and said angrily.

"Liam, am I merely that type of woman in your eyes?"

"Which type of woman are you?” He lightly furrowed his eyebrows, his question left Anna speechless.

Anna did not know what type of woman she was either. However, was it not clear to Liam what type of woman she was in his eyes?

Anna wiped the tear off the corner of her eye and stared at him.

With his back toward the light, the red glow of the sunset seemed to surround the outline of his tall and well-built body with a golden light, it was extraordinarily dazzling. However, his handsome face was hidden by the shadow, it was hard to make out the emotions on his face.

"I don't care which type of woman you think I am, they’re all wrong!" said Anna coldly.

"Then what kind of woman do you think that I think o f you as?” He raised his eyebrows and toyed with her.

"You!" Anna angrily gritted her teeth.

Liam could not help but laugh in his mind upon seeing her tough look.

She was small and frail, yet she put up a tough appearance. She was like a newborn tiger flexing its claws.

He suddenly had the inexplicable urge to bind this woman to his side to protect her frailty and to prevent her from getting hurt again.

Liam’s pitch-black pupils were covered by a layer of gold as he slowly walked toward Anna...

Anna quickly took a step back and stared at him blankly.

"Don’t... Don't come any closer."

"Don’t step back anymore."

Anna refused to listen and continued going backward until she suddenly felt her feet slip...

"Ah!"

Liam hastily stepped forward and stretched out his arm and hugged her slender waist. He exerted a little effort and managed to pull her into his warm embrace.

"I told you not to go backward,” grumbled Liam with lingering fear.

Anna glanced at the river behind her in horror as she unconsciously held Liam even closer.

"Are you scared now?" He raised the corner of an eyebrow and there was a glint in his eye.

"Of course not!"

"Really?"

"Nope!" said Anna stubbornly.

Liam lowered his head and glanced at Anna who was holding on to him tightly. He continued teasing her." Then shall I let go?"

He loosened the strength of his grip as he finished his words.

Anna could feel her body falling backward, she was terrified and exclaimed, "Liam!"

"If you don't hold onto me tightly, I'm really going to let go." He dragged on the sentence as he continued loosening his grip.

"Ah!"

Anna was terrified as she instinctively hugged his slim waist.

Liam continued loosening his grip, which caused Anna to be scared and hugged him even tighter." Liam, you bastard!"

Liam laughed and released both his hands. He felt the little lady hug him tightly against his chest and he was suddenly in a great mood.

"It would seem that you really need me seeing that you're hugging me so tightly." Liam purposely emphasized the word "need".

Anna remembered something he said to her last time; that he did not like her and that he only needed her. She realized that there was a deeper meaning behind the word "need" and her face suddenly flushed.

"Liam, can you not be so evil!"

"How am I evil?" said Liam righteously, and then proceeded to give her a menacing stare.

"I think you're thinking of something else."

He caught her in his trap yet again!

"Quickly get me up!" exclaimed Anna loudly. Her head was still buried in his chest as she dared not even glance at the river.

"You’re hugging me so closely, why do you want to get up?"

"You!"

"So this was your motive behind inviting me out here." His smug appearance made Anna feel like beating him again.

"If you want it then just say so, there’s no need to put i n so much effort to endanger yourself." "You!" Anna trembled as she took a deep breath. She lifted her head but could only see Liam's chiseled chin.

"There's something I wanted to ask you that's why I invited you here.”

"What thing?" He lowered his gaze and there was a glint at the corner of his eyes. "Did you want to ask if I want it or not?"

"Can you be a little more serious!"

"Since when am I not serious? You're the one that’s not serious for hugging me so tightly."

Anna was going to be driven mad by him. She used her hand that was wrapped tightly around him and pinched the muscles on his waist. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

The muscles on his body were firm and were surprisingly hard to pinch but she still forcefully pinched him.

Liam felt the pain and furrowed his eyebrows slightly. "So this is what you're into."

U H

"Was Bryan and Chloe's situation your doing?" asked Anna in a serious tone.

Liam lowered her head and looked into her sparkling eyes and said, "Weren't you the one who did it?"

"You called the reporters, didn't you?"

"Isn't that what you wanted?"

Why was he being so protective of his words? Could h e not speak frankly?

"It's either yes or no!" said Anna grumpily.

"Are you helping me?" Anna copied his intonation.

"Helping you?" Liam smirked.

"I hate that you’re going out with Bryan. I've told you this countless times, you're my woman, how could you go on a date with other men!"

"So you called the reporters?"

"I was curious as well, who could possibly be so mighty as to arrange such a show." His expression alternated between being serious or smiling, his expression remained hard to understand.

"Do you want me to investigate who did this?"

"It's you, isn't it! You're the only one who could do it so quickly and so ruthlessly. Everything was planned by you!"

However...

Anna could not figure out why Liam would do this.

Was it just because he did not want her to go out with Bryan?

Liam looked at her inquiring eyes and suddenly let out a chuckle. "Are you grateful to me? Do you have the sudden urge to repay me? Pledge your life to me then!"

Anna's heart thumped when she heard the words" pledge your life". A sense of gentle and sweet romance gradually emerged in her eyes.

However, when she saw Liam's gaze wandering all over her body and his slightly flirtatious eyes, all the excitement instantly dissipated without a trace.

She met his unreserved gaze and shouted, "You rascal, I knew this was your goal all along!"

"Huh? What goal? You already knew before I even said it?"

Anna angrily gritted her teeth. "Is pledging your life something you can say so casually?"

"Then what can be said casually? That I want you?"

"You idiot!" She suddenly pushed Liam away and her body fell backward. Fortunately, Liam managed to catch her in time.

"I told you not to let go of me so easily. You'll fall and injure yourself badly without me."

There seemed to be a deeper meaning behind his words. However, Anna did not feel that she would truly be uninjured if she hugged him tightly, instead she feared that she would be hurt even more.

Anna suddenly asked him in a serious manner. "If I fell into the river, would you jump in there and save m e?"

She sincerely waited for his answer but he closed his eyes and smirked and said a single word.

"Rascal!"

Anna was puzzled, how was she the rascal?
