Take Control of Yourself, Please novel (Anna and Liam) novel Chapter 280

Bryan jumped off the sofa.

"Anna!”

Although he was trying his best to suppress his emotions, he couldn't hide the excitement shining through his eyes. Chloe could see them as clear as day.

Chloe jumped up too and wrapped her arms around his, but he made to fling her away.

"Bryan babe!"

Chloe tightened her grip.

Anna paused in the middle of her yawn, turned her head slowly to glance at Bryan and Choe in the living room.

Bryan smiled and rushed to say, "Anna, I heard you won first place in the practical assessment, congratulations.”

Anna saw Chloe’s warning gaze but still returned his smile.

"Thank you, Bryan."

Seeing her smile at him, Bryan felt like the boulder pressing down on his chest had finally been lifted. He was unbelievably happy, all the tension and stress sapped from his limbs.

"If there's a chance, I would like to celebrate with you please," he said.

Chloe gritted her teeth and tightened her grip around his arm, faking a cry of pain.

"Ouch, Bryan, my stomach hurts. Help me to the couch please."

"What happened? Why does it suddenly hurt?" Bryan held onto her tightly and helped her onto the couch.

Anna rolled her eyes at the display, went to the kitchen for her water, and prepared to return to her room and get away from the battlefield. At that moment, her father, Daniel returned home.

"Bryan is here! Anna is home too. Ha-ha, that’s perfect! We’ll eat as a family tonight!” Daniel laughed and waved Anna into the living room.

"I heard you performed well in the assessment and are confirmed to join the Ackman Group. This is good news, tonight we’ll open a bottle of wine and celebrate."

"Come, Anna, you need to thank Bryan for helping you place first too. He complimented you in front of Mr. Ackman countless times.”

"Come on!"

Anna shuffled forward, and said with a forced smile, "I s that true? Then I have to thank Bryan.”

She won first place by her own strength and ability, he had nothing to do with it.

His kind, innocent act was definitely convincing.

"Even though you have a bad history between you, we'll still be a family in the future. I hope you can all get along well." Daniel tugged at Anna, hinting at her t o improve her attitude towards him.

Anna didn't want to cause a scene, so she tried her best to smile at him.

Seeing her agree to forgo the past, Bryan was delighted, "Anna, once you join the Ackman Group, let me know if there's anything I can help you with. My family is quite close with Uncle Ackman."

"That would be great, thank you." Anna ran a hand through her long hair, continuing to smile.

Chloe's blood was boiling but she didn't dare throw a tantrum in front of her father. She could only silently let her anger stew.

Nicole walked out of the kitchen with the food in her hands, placed it on the table, and threw in a few words for Chloe.

"Even though Chloe and Bryan are not married yet, but they already have a child together. Bryan is part of our family now, we are also his parents, and Anna is his sister. We're a family."

Daniel laughed heartily, "Exactly! We're a family now! Come, let’s eat! Lisa, bring me the bottle of red wine I've been saving for special occasions."

Bryan followed Daniel into the dining room and purposely looked out for Anna, motioning for her to sit beside him.

Anna hurriedly walked to the seat opposite his and sat down, "This is my spot."

Chloe clenched her fists in anger, rushing to sit beside Bryan, and pulled him down into the chair.

"Bryan babe, I'm so happy that the three of us can eat together as a family." Chloe said and passed him his cutlery, "Quick, try my mother's cooking."

Bryan took his seat, looked at Anna sitting opposite him, and said, "I would like to have a drink with Anna, to celebrate her passing the assessment."
