Take Control of Yourself, Please novel (Anna and Liam) novel Chapter 177

Anna's words made Daniel's expression darken even further.

He pointed his fingers shakingly toward the top of the stairs. His lungs heaved heavily.

"Just a child? She didn’t sound like a child at all when she was lecturing me!”

"Ah... Anna sure has a bad temperament. No matter how mad she is at me, she still shouldn’t take it out on you," Nicole mumbled as she tried to soothe Daniel's anger.

“There, there. Calm down..."

Daniel exhaled and fumed, "This temperament of hers must have developed because I spoiled her as a child!"

Chloe came over too and hugged Daniel's arm. "Daddy, it's all my fault. I was the one that wronged her. Anna had always disliked Mommy and me-her tantrum is justifiable after an incident like this. Please don't blame her."

Daniel turned to Chloe but did not say a word.

Chloe continued, "Daddy if there's anyone to be blamed, it’s got to be me! If I didn't pity Bryan... while h e was drunk and grieving... the incident today never would have happened.

"I felt sympathy toward Bryan... He said that Anna was too distant toward him in their relationship. In truth, h e did not have any feelings for Anna, but Grandmother Dawson forced him into it...

"Even so, this child had come into the world at a bad time. The child is innocent. I can't bear the thought of getting rid of it..." Chloe started to choke up again.

Nicole caressed Chloe’s red and swollen cheek and said with a pained expression, "Chloe, it's all my fault.

I couldn’t let you be born into a good family... I’ve made you suffer through so much. What if..."

She turned to Daniel. Tears were suddenly pouring out. "Danny, I'm too useless. How about Chloe and I move out of this house! Anna might feel better that way. And she won't hold so much resentment toward you anymore.

"We don't want to be the cause of fights and quarrels between you and your daughter either."

"No way! Nicole, what on earth are you saying?" Daniel frowned.

"Danny, I don't want you to be so conflicted. Anna has said it herself-she is the true daughter of the Hamilton family. In addition to that, she is the successor of the Lincoln Group. On the other hand, Chloe and I are nobodies..."

Nicole lowered her head and sobbed.

She wanted to know what value did Anna still have in Daniel’s heart now that she had lost everything.

"How could you say that! Nicole, Chloe is carrying a child inside of her! What nonsense are you suggesting now? Do you think I don't have enough problems to deal with?"

Daniel was annoyed. Nicole's words had stirred up the feeling of injustice in his heart. If the motherdaughter duo were nobodies, what did that make him?

He had worked hard in running the company for so many years, yet the name would forever remain as ' Lincoln Group'!

He was merely a clown living in the shadows of Grandfather Lincoln and Anna's birth mother.

He would always wake up from his nightmares drenched in sweat. After so many years, the fear and palpitations never went away.

'Do I need to live with this forever?'

Daniel asked himself in his heart.

Nicole pressed her lips together and hurriedly shot a glance at Chloe.

Chloe understood her glance. She thought for a while then gazed at Daniel's ink-black expression. She leaned against his shoulder and spoke in a pitiable tone.
