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

Chapter 766 Come Back to Him

Liam said and turned to leave.

Anna angrily chased after him. "Liam, you're so crafty! You helped me for my gratitude and then you made demands. When I don't agree, you threaten me!"

"You're even more shameless than Bryan!"

Liam paused. "Anna, you know very well that I can easily get the custody of Gemma."

Anna didn't yield an inch and looked at this cold man. "I am not afraid of you!"

"Even if Gemma will be hurt? If things come to that, it's okay for you and me, but it will be terrible for Gemma."

Anna was suddenly silent.

If they fought for the custody of Gemma, the most embarrassed person would be Gemma.

"I know that Gemma loves you and Ethan. I won’t take her away from you. I just want to stay with Gemma on weekends," Liam said.

Anna calmed down, thinking for a long while, and finally agreed. "I can promise you, but there're some things you have to listen to me."

Since Anna gave in to him, Liam was pleased. "It depends on my mood."

"You!"

Anna looked up. When she saw a charming smile on Liam's handsome face, she couldn't help smiling too.

She suddenly felt that she was so childish.

She finally submitted to Liam's demands after arguing with him.

It seemed that she would be the underdog forever.

She couldn't do anything with him, who was smarter than her, shrewder than her, and more powerful than her.

Anna returned home with a heavy heart.

Ethan was already back and was doing jigsaw puzzles with Gemma. He looked at Anna without asking anything. He just smiled and said, "Lisa made some chicken soup. It's in the kitchen."

"Oh, I see."

"Mommy, what’s wrong? You look so serious like that big bad guy," Gemma said as she did the puzzles.

Anna's heart gave a lurch.

Liam crept into Gemma's world and took up a position. Gemma mentioned Liam from time to time.

'Is it because they're of the same blood?'

Even though Anna always spoke ill of Liam and warned Gemma to stay away from him, Gemma couldn't resist being attracted by Liam.

"Oh, I just feel a bit funny. Don’t worry about me. Go on with your puzzles. I'm going to my room and have a rest."

Anna hurriedly went upstairs.

Gemma blinked her big eyes and pouted her pink lips. "What's up with Mommy?"

Ethan smiled. "Nothing serious. She's just too tired. Leave her to rest for a while."

"Oh, I see! She'll be fine after a nap." Gemma continued to do puzzles.

Finally, Liam got Anna and Ethan out of the trouble caused by Bryan.

The Dawson family announced that Bryan was sick and was in the hospital for treatment. There was no news about Bryan's injury.

Anna was relieved.

Even though it wasn't Ethan's fault, if the dispute had escalated, he would have been involved because of the brawl with Bryan.

After all, Bryan was seriously injured.

Fortunately, he was resuscitated in time.

Liam came to pick up Gemma as arranged this weekend.

Anna hadn’t intended to follow them but she was worried that Gemma would be not used to staying with Liam, who was unfamiliar to Gemma anyway.

Gemma seemed brave but was actually timid. Besides, Anna always told her that Liam was bad, and therefore Gemma might be scared to be alone with Liam.

Moreover, Liam had never taken care of Gemma before and didn't know Gemma's habits and character.

Ethan understood that Anna was hesitant.

"Go with Gemma. I don't feel easy about letting Gemma go out alone with him."

"Me?" Anna looked at Ethan in surprise.

Ethan gave her a warm smile. "Come on! Gemma will b e happier if you stay with her."

"You..."

"It’s okay! I can't prevent him from seeing Gemma.

After all, he is Gemma's father. Be sure to keep yourself warm and have fun." Ethan put a scarf around Anna's neck.

"Okay. Go now," Ethan said.

Anna was encouraged and reassured by Ethan.

"Alright! I'll be back early!"

Anna took Gemma's hand and walked to Liam who was waiting outside the Hamilton family mansion.

Liam watched Anna and Gemma walk towards him. H e felt like they were a family of three on a weekend trip, and his heart was filled with sweetness.

"Get in."

Gemma stared at Liam curiously and then looked up a t Anna.

"Mommy, why are we going out with big bad guy?"

Liam gave an injured look.

Anna was embarrassed. "Because he wants to take us t o play a fantastic game." This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

"Then why don't we go with Daddy? Daddy will be lonely at home." Gemma turned to look at Ethan, who had been watching them from behind.

Anna felt a prick in her heart.

She didn't dare to look back at Ethan.

Some choices were destined to hurt someone. She didn't know what she should do and how to make everyone happy.

"Gemma, be good and get in the car. Daddy has work t o do and won't have time to go with us."

Gemma pouted and nodded. "I see."

Seeing Gemma get into the car, Anna felt better and smiled.

"Fasten your seat belts. Let’s go." Liam said cheerfully and thoughtfully.

The car started slowly.

It moved down the street. Sunlight poured in through the windows. Everything seemed good.

With mixed feelings, Anna sat in the back seat with Gemma in her arms, looking at Liam who was driving seriously.

'If Winnie hadn't appeared three years ago, would we have been a happy family?¹

'Would we have been like other families, taking our daughter out on weekends?'

However, even if they were together now, Anna was upset and anxious.

Liam drove slowly. He was afraid that time would go a s fast as the car.

He looked at Anna and Gemma in the rearview mirror and couldn't help smiling.

Liam was overwhelmed by happiness.

He wished time could be frozen at this moment. He wished he and Anna had not got divorced. He wished he had seen their child born. He wished Anna and Gemma had never left him...

However, these were just his fantasies.

But he was sure that everything he had missed would come back to him.
