Take Control of Yourself, Please novel (Anna and Liam) novel Chapter 268

Anna slept soundly yesterday. She hadn't had such a good sleep for a long time.

Were she not in the middle of a test, she would have continued sleeping.

She raised herself from the bed forcefully, but the person beside her was long gone.

"He left."

She sighed, feeling down for no reason.

Does he not sleep at all? Every time he would go to sleep in the wee hours of the morning but still wake u p before her.

She wrapped the blankets tightly around her body. Suddenly she smelled something like the smoke from burning cigarettes. She quickly went to the living room to check.

As she expected!

He was in the living room.

She stood near the bedroom door, her eyes squinting t o look at the window. Liam was there smoking quietly, as he stood facing the bright sun.

The morning sun was bright. The sunlight brightened up his face and their surroundings, making everything clear including his eyes.

She wanted to approach him, but at the same time, she did not want to break the peaceful bubble that enveloped them at the time.

He noticed her, hesitating at the doorstep.

"You're awake?"

"Yeah." She lowered her head.

"You're awake too?" She asked softly.

"I didn’t sleep."

"What?"

He didn't sleep?

She blinked her eyes twice but could see no signs of fatigue on him.

Is he made from iron?

"If I recall correctly, you are here to make me sleep." H e stubbed out the cigarette and turned his head slowly.

"I... you really have difficulty sleeping?"

It can’t be!

She always thought Liam slept very well.

He did not answer her question directly. "You did not complete your mission."

"I have no problem sleeping at all! I didn't even get enough sleep myself! Especially these few days I grew so tired that I can sleep for three days straight."

"Cold-hearted people are like that."

Anna pouted. Her lips looked bright and juicy under reflections of the sunlight. "I have difficulty sleeping too sometimes! But your problem can be caused either by stress or..."

"Or what?"

"Or it can be..." Anna looked at him cautiously and mumbled very lightly.

"You’re so perverted that you can't sleep."

"Anna Hamilton!"

"I'm here!"

"Can you not spoil the mood every time?"

"Uhm..." Anna scratched her head. "Did you really... not sleep?"

She glanced at the clock and found out that it was 9 a m. She yawned again and started counting how many hours of sleep she got.

They gathered at 3 am this morning. When they reached their rooms, it should be around 4 am already. She sang to Liam for a very long time, by then it should be roughly 5 am.

She only slept for 4 hours and still felt sleepy.

She yawned for the third time. "We need to gather at 5 pm. Do you want to sleep now? You can still sleep for another eight hours. That would solve your sleep deprivation.”

Liam looked at her coldly "How can you be so sure that I will fall asleep immediately?”

"Of course!" Anna approached him and dragged him into the bedroom.

"Lie down now and don't think of anything else. I will close the curtains. Just imagine that it is nighttime and get a good rest! I will wake you up when it's time."

Anna closed the curtains and the room turned dark as if night had fallen.

"I will continue singing for you. Close your eyes and empty your mind, you can fall asleep in no time.”
