Grandmother Dawson knew that once Anna and Liam got married, Liam would deal with Bryan hard.
She pinned Liam down to her request, not only to make her feel better but also to protect Bryan.
And Liam's silence was taken as the acquiescence of her request.
Liam knew very well that if he didn't agree, his auntie would make him agree in other ways.
This woman had been in business for decades, and Liam really admired her finesse.
"I'm sorry, grandma!"
Anna felt guilty, so she gave her a sincere apology.
Grandmother Dawson looked at Anna, sighed, and without another word walked away on her cane.
Anna was relieved to hear the fading footsteps.
Then, Anna's body slumped into itself. Liam flung his arm out in time to stop her from falling.
"I'm more afraid of Grandmother Dawson than dad."
"Auntie!" Liam amended.
"It can't be said to be afraid. Reverence, to be exact. I remember after my mom died, Grandmother Dawson
held me and comforted me for a long time."
"She told me that my mom didn't leave me, but became a star to accompany me in the sky."
"I know it's a lie, but I've believed it for a long time, especially during the most difficult times."
Liam held Anna closely.
At that moment, Liam thought they were the only ones to depend on each other.
It was also his auntie who accompanied him through the most painful period after his mother's death.
"I feel so sorry for her." Anna looked at Liam, and her eyes glistened with tears.
"I promised her to let Bryan go, as compensation."
Although Anna was relieved, her guilt remained.
"Do not fear. I'll stick up for you," Liam said softly.
Anna snuggled up to Liam and nodded gently.
"You're still very weak. You need to get some rest, honey. Tomorrow, the doctor will come to give you an examination, and then formulate a set of exercise, nutrition, and prenatal education programs suitable for your pregnancy."
His careful and thoughtful moved her.
"I'll take care of our baby."
Anna took his hand, "And we will overcome difficulties together."
Grandmother Dawson was ill.
She stayed at the Dawson family mansion and refused to go to the hospital.
Liam was going to visit Grandmother Dawson, and Anna wanted to go with him.
"You should have a good rest!" Liam didn't want her to go.
Liam knew Anna was tenderhearted and would feel uneasy in the face of Grandmother Dawson.
"You're always by my side. I'm not afraid. We have to face it sooner or later." Then, she snuggled close up to him, like a little birdie.
Liam was silent for a while, regarding Anna with his steady gaze.
Then, he said, "All right, let's go together."
They drove to the Dawson family mansion.
All the members of the Dawson family were there.
When Anna and Liam appeared together, everyone was stunned.
Bryan had long heard that they were married.
But he didn't believe that. He thought that was the rumor.
People just thought they were close, so they said that o n purpose! It was Liam who posted posts on many websites looking for his fiancee that made people
curious about their relationship.
