Take Control of Yourself, Please novel (Anna and Liam) novel Chapter 307

Hamilton explanation?

What did that mean?

Anna wanted to ask him but he had already turned and left the deck.

She clung to the railing, and climbed down carefully, running to catch up to him.

"The words you said, what did you mean?” She was anxious.

Because everything he said made her lost and confused.

The emotions built up, turning into anxiety.

Liam stopped and looked at her out of the corners of his eyes.

"Which words?"

Anna felt defeated.

Fighting with Liam, she could feel a heart attack coming at any minute.

"Nothing! Just pretend I didn't ask!" She walked ahead angrily.

Even though she now had a clue as to the whereabouts of the bracelet, she was clearly a scapegoat. Grandma Dawson knew that too, whether her name was cleared or not, didn't seem so important anymore.

The most important point was since she knew where i t was, could she really take a step back and do nothing?

Liam caught up to her, strong arms circling her waist, pulling her to him lightly.

"You're my partner tonight. You need to walk beside m e. Not ahead, not behind, but just right beside me.

We'll move forward together.”

She instinctively reached out to push his hand away, but couldn't bear to do it.

She lifted her head and watched his stiff side profile. His gaze was as deep as the seas, bright with an intoxicating glow.

Her heart skipped a beat, the anger that was just coursing through her disappearing.

She felt his arms tightening around her, pulling the two of them even closer together, and her mood lightened.

She felt herself blushing, lowering her head.

"What are you thinking?" He whispered against her ears, voice low and raspy.

Anna lifted her head and smiled brightly, her beauty mesmerizing and intoxicating.

"I'm thinking..." She pulled her words out, purposely maintaining the suspense.

"Try and guess!"

Liam’s thin lips lifted in a smile, a flash of adoration shining in his eyes.

"What a child!” He bobbed her nose with a long finger.

"Are you satisfied with the present I gave you?" He asked.

"Present? What present?" She froze.

Liam shook his head helplessly, "Forget it, it's nothing."

"What present? Where’s the present? Why didn't I see i t?" Anna looked around her, there wasn't any sign of a present or a box on this luxurious cruise ship.

They returned to the ballroom.

The guests all smiled and addressed them politely. Their attitude was more relaxed than before, more accepting of the lady walking beside Liam.

The upper echelons of society were an exclusive group.

Anna’s story had long since spread throughout their circle.

And the rumor that Liam Ackman did not like women, had been a deep-seated rumor for years.

Now, Liam appeared with his nephew’s ex-fiance

hanging off his arm, it was obvious he was broadcasting their relationship to the world.

The unspoken rule in their circle was that, if the party involved did not personally agree for news to spread, n o one would say a word.

At this party, no one was allowed to bring their handphones or cameras. There were no CCTVs on this cruise ship either, all to protect the privacy of the rich and powerful guests.

Anna obediently stayed by Liam’s side, stealing a glance around the ballroom from time to time.

She never saw that seductive woman again.

It was obvious she knew a story or two about Liam.

Who was that 'her'?

Anna’s mind drifted a little until Liam’s voice rang in her ears.

Let s go.
