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

Chloe glared at Anna with eyes filled with resentment. She yearned to shove Anna away from Bryan's side.

Anna could clearly see the malice in Chloe's eyes. It seemed like Chloe had truly believed in her blind act, so she did not bother to hide the animosity in her eyes.

Anna lifted her chin slightly and gazed at Chloe with empty eyes.

Chloe's heart skipped a beat. Although Anna's gaze at her was unfocused, she still felt as if she was being stared at.

Chloe quickly hid away the resentment in her eyes and turned to face in another direction. She did not dare to meet Anna's gaze.

Anna smiled. She reached out her hands and felt around. "Bryan, I'm tired. I want to sit down."

Bryan hurriedly helped her to the sofa.

Daniel rushed home from work. The moment he walked through the door, he saw that Anna was already at home. A smile instantly blossomed on his face. "Anna, I came rushing home the minute I heard about your discharge. How are you doing? Are you feeling any better?"

Nicole frowned a little when she saw Daniel showing so much concern toward Anna.

"Dad, I'm feeling much better! I'm a little thirsty," Anna said.

Bryan quickly poured a glass of water for her.

"Chloe, come serve your sister. Don't let Bryan do everything. Let him take a break," Nicole beckoned.

Chloe responded obediently and came over to feed Anna the glass of water. Unexpectedly, Anna smoothly dodged away from her cup.

"It's okay. Bryan can feed me," Anna said.

Bryan brought a straw to her lips. Anna sucked on it gently.

Bryan caringly alerted, "Anna, slow down. It's a little hot."

Anna drank a mouthful of water. She could clearly see the look of envy emanating from Chloe's eyes.

"Chloe, my feet hurts. Help me change into a pair of slippers. I can't see, so I'll have to trouble you," Anna instructed politely.

The sweet smile on Chloe's face tensed up. The corner of her lips twitched subtly.

'What?

'You're asking me to change your shoes?'

"Chloe, what are you waiting for? Go help your sister change her shoes!" Daniel prodded.

Chloe forced an awkward smile and hid away the resentment in her eyes. She bent down, took out a pair of slippers, and helped Anna change out her shoes.

As Anna was enjoying the moment Chloe bent over and put on her shoes for her, a sinister look appeared in her eyes.

'Chloe Hamilton, the game has just begun.'

Nicole's heart ached when she looked at Chloe. She turned to Daniel.

Daniel seemed to be a little off that day. He was unusually caring toward Anna.

"Nicole, how's the cooking going in the kitchen? Anna i s malnourished. Tell those in the kitchen to prepare a few more dishes! Make sure nothing is spicy or overly seasoned. Also, no greasy food." Daniel goaded Nicole to go help out in the kitchen.

"Go make sure they're not cooking with anything

Anna should be avoiding."

"Alright, alright, alright! I'll go now! Since Anna just got discharged, and Bryan is here too, I'll add in two of my personal dishes too!" Having said that, Nicole darted to the kitchen.

"Anna, your mother is personally cooking for you today. Thanks to you, I get to eat her food too. Haha..." Daniel sat beside her and chuckled. His eyes were filled with love.

"Anna, I envy you for having such a warm household. Your mom and dad love you so dearly." Bryan felt lucky that he would soon be able to enjoy the warmth and affection of this family too. "And an adorable little sister!" Chloe added, grinning gleefully as she handed a peeled banana to Anna.

"Anna, have some fruit. It's really sweet!"

"That's right, that's right. You also have Chloe as your adorable little sister." Bryan smiled, glancing at Chloe then shifted his gaze back onto Anna, who was sitting right beside him. "Bryan, once you and Anna get married, we will all be family. This will be your home too," Daniel said, smiling.

He was worried that the marriage of convenience between the Hamilton and Dawson family might fall through. Hence, he could not help but glance at Bryan again and again. Nonetheless, he was relieved when he saw Bryan's loving care and concern toward Anna.

At the hospital, Anna suggested that they should delay the marriage with the Dawson family. If Bryan continued to love her like this, he would surely oppose the delay if the Hamilton family was to suggest it. That way, the Hamilton family could create a good impression of being thoughtful and considerate, yet not affecting the date of the wedding.

Before Daniel came home, he received a call from Grandfather Lincoln. He had agreed to discuss the handover of Lincoln Group only after Anna had fully recovered. Before that, Daniel will continue to manage the company.

Daniel nodded. Everything was going smoothly, putting him in a terrific mood.

However, when he turned to Chloe, he could see that her eyes were dark and glum. She looked like she was deeply troubled by something.

She was still holding the banana, waiting for Anna to take it. "Anna, I swear, it's really sweet. Have one."

Anna shook her head. "You can have it, Chloe. You've loved bananas since you were a little child."

Chloe grinned. She put her lips around the tip of the banana and gently took tiny bites out of it. Her gaze darted toward Bryan through the corner of her eyes. Bryan felt his body tense up. He was starting to fee the heat.

Bryan placed his hand on his head, blocking his view of Chloe with his arm. In a soft tone, he asked, "Anna, are you cold? You seem a little pale."

He caringly draped a jacket over her shoulders.

Anna turned in the direction of Bryan and smiled." Bryan, you treat me so well. I'm lucky to have you by my side."

Bryan grinned from ear to ear. He gently stroked the baby hair on her temple. "You're going to be my wife soon, of course I'll treat you well."

Chloe choked on her banana. She darted to the washroom.

Just then, Nicole called everyone to the dining room for dinner.

Bryan helped Anna up. "Anna, I'll help you wash your hands."

When they reached the washroom, Chloe had just come out from there. She glared at Bryan with furious eyes.

Bryan narrowed his eyes, hinting at Chloe to stay in line.

"Anna, you want to wash your hands? Here, I'll help you." Chloe took Anna from Bryan's arms.

"It's okay. Bryan will help me." Anna maintained the joyful smile on her face. She acted as if she was completely dependent on Bryan.

Chloe clenched her fists in rage.

"Anna, be careful with that step. That's right. Okay, put your foot down..." Bryan cautiously guided Anna into the washroom. They looked like a sweet and lovingly married couple.

Chloe ground her teeth and endured it. She forced on a sweet smile and followed them into the washroom." Anna, Bryan is still a man. I'd be better if I help you."

Neither Anna nor Bryan batted an eye at Chloe.

Bryan rolled up Anna's sleeves, revealing the fair and glowing skin of her arms. Bryan could not help but hold her slender wrists in his palms.

Anna's chest tightened. She hastily retracted her arms.

"I'll do it myself."

Bryan thought that she was just shy. "Anna, your vision isn't great. There's no need to pretend like you're a strong and independent woman. In my eyes, you're just a little lady." 'Little lady?'

Liam's face and his overbearing kiss suddenly appeared in her mind.

He always called her 'little lady'.

Suddenly, she was missing him a little.
