Take Control of Yourself, Please novel (Anna and Liam) novel Chapter 267

Liam Ackman carried Anna Hamilton to the bedroom swiftly.

Anna shut her eyes tightly, feeling awkward in his embrace.

She kept asking herself, should she protect her virginity that she lost long ago and be a slave to Jennifer for a year in addition to paying her 50 million?

Or she should just give up resisting, get the first place, and join the Ackman's Group for her future?

No matter which train of thought her brain took, the second choice seemed more rational and promising.

However, she was unable to forgo her pride and succumb to him wholeheartedly.

Liam gradually slowed his steps. Anna Hamilton opened her eyes curiously, and she met his dark eyes

His eyes were cold and emotionless, unexpectedly empty of sexual desire. This stunned her.

Liam stood beside the bed, still holding her in his arms. He did not say anything.

Anna was also quiet while waiting in his embrace.

After a while, she could not stop herself and asked

carefully, "Why did you stop?”

"Do you want me to continue?" He asked her instead.

"No!" She responded quickly.

"Don't you think, it's peaceful like this?" he squinted his eyes.

Anna Hamilton shook her head lightly, it's scarier this way.

"You are more rational than me. This is work. You have to consider a lot of aspects before you arrive at the best solution"

"The same applies with life!"

His words were deep. She only understood them after some time. "So, you make decisions after careful consideration too?"

"Pressure makes one improve but it can also destroy a person. Which one do you choose?" He asked.

"Of course I choose improvement!"

"I don't see it."

Anna Hamilton lowered her head gradually and pouted. "Aren't you tired... Holding me like this?"

"Do you think you are heavy?"

Anna Hamilton nodded her head. "Am I?"

"No." "Oh."

The two became silent again.

"I gave you pressure so that you will learn to be more resilient." Liam Ackman said.

"Oh."

The conversation ended again.

Liam was in a bad mood previously. His mood got better when he met Anna. Looking at her again now, his anger rose.

"But I think the pressure is still too light." He said coldly.

Anna's joy started to fade away. Her eyes were watery, and she started sobbing.

"Do you have to bully me to have fun?"

She quickly turned her head to hide the tears.

However, he noticed the tears in the corners of her eyes. This made him happy for an inexplicable reason.

He smirked "When did I ever bully you?"

"You have always been bullying me, just admit it."

"No."

"Yes!"

"No."

"Yes!" "Ok, yes then."

He finally lay her down on the bed. She tilted her head and looked at him curiously.

"Very heavy.”

"... You just said I wasn't heavy!"

"Really heavy."

Liam turned over and lay on the bed. He put his hands behind his head while looking at her "Sing it."

Anna cleared her throat and opened her mouth "Sleep, sleep... sleep, sleep my dear baby, mummy's hands are holding you. Sleep, sleep my dear baby..."

Liam's face turned dark. "Sing a different song."

Anna cleared her throat again and sang. "Small baby, sleep quickly, I will appear in your dreams, I'll laugh and play with you. Sleep baby..."

"A different song!"

"Oh okay." Anna's mind flipped through all the lullabies that she knew and finally, she found one.

"Bright moon, quiet wind, big leaves covering the window... cricket chirps around... Close your eyes, my dear baby..."

"Anna Hamilton, are you doing this on purpose?!" Liam Ackman grumbled.

Her face turned pale. "All lullabies are like this; I'm not doing it on purpose!"

"Change to a different song!" Liam growled.

Anna's lips twitched; it was so hard to look after him. Suddenly, she had another song in mind.

"I know what to sing now!"

The song that Liam Ackman set on her wristband must be his favorite song.

"Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way! Oh what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh! Hey! Jingle bells, jingle bells..."

This time, Liam did not stop her. Listening to her merry voice, he felt warm and comfortable.

Anna Hamilton sang the same song over and over.

She yawned again and again, but Liam still kept his eyes open wide.

Slowly, she wore herself out. Her surroundings grew blurry. Her head slowly fell on his shoulder and she slept soundly.

Liam looked at Anna who was sleeping on him, feeling annoyed yet amused at the same time.

"Fine, you’ve been exhausted these few days." He brought her over to the bed and covered her with a blanket. He tidied her messy hair with gentle fingers.

Anna turned over and hugged him unintentionally, still singing, "Jingle bells, jingle bells..."

Liam laughed light-heartedly, his cold gaze turning warm and gentle. He planted a soft kiss on her smooth forehead.

"I will let you go this time, little one. I will make you pay for this tomorrow morning."
