Not eating you...
Liam's words were really letting everyone's imaginations run wild!
Everyone turned to Liam in shock. Their expressions were full of confusion and awkwardness.
Anna yearned to look for a gap in the floor to bury herself in. At the same time, she wanted to pounce onto Liam, rip him up into pieces, knead them into a ball and toss it away.
Grandmother Dawson turned to Liam, then to Anna. Anna's heart raced with fear. She was afraid that the sharp old lady would notice some clues about them.
Anna quickly laughed and explained, "Ah, Mr.
Ackman is always so scary! He always looked like he's about to devour us, students! He's the scariest mentor i n the whole university. Every student will be struck with terror whenever they see him. Hahaha..."
Liam’s expression turned dark and so did his gaze.
Anna quickly said, "It’s rare that Mr. Ackman is here t o see you, Grandma. We won't be disturbing you any longer then."
Liam's face darkened even further. His eyes grew a few degrees colder.
Anna could feel a chill down her spine. Her surroundings turned cold as winter. She hurriedly turned away and felt her way toward the door.
However, after taking just two steps forward, she felt a s if she had lost all strength in her body. Her legs could not move another inch.
That was because she could feel two pairs of icy knives stabbing at her back, forcing her to freeze. She felt a cold breeze on the back of her neck. Anna was afraid that if she had taken another step forward, she would be decapitated.
Anna closed her eyes and hesitantly walked in reverse. She took a deep breath and turned around, flashing a vibrant smile at Grandmother Dawson.
"Dinner sounds good."
Grandmother Dawson grinned from ear to ear. "Good, good. We are a family after all. We should have a rowdy dinner together. I love it when the house is lively."
Daniel let out a sigh of relief. He could finally smile.
Naturally, Daniel would not want to let go of this opportunity to have dinner with Liam and establish a better relationship between them. Besides, he could use the chance to put in a good word for Anna so she could work in Ackman Group when she graduated. Then, all would be well.
Nicole and Chloe exchanged glances with each other. They felt like Liam held some animosity toward Anna, yet at the same time, they could not shake the feeling that Liam treated Anna differently from everyone else.
If Liam had some kind of admiration toward Anna, the pillar Anna was leaning on would become even larger and even harder to topple.
Chloe let her thoughts flow for a while. Then, she carefully observed Liam's gaze at Anna. She furrowed herbrows.
Chloe could not help but feel that there was something odd in the way Liam looked at Anna.
Although his eyes were as cold as ice, and yet his gaze, exceedingly overbearing, there was still a discernible look in his eyes that mirrored that of a lover’s gaze.
Could she be imagining it?
Dinner went smoothly. Liam only talked to Grandmother Dawson from the beginning till the end. He did not even glance at Anna, making Anna feel as i f she was not that important in his eyes anymore.
She was glad that Liam was not making her life hand, yet at the same time, she was disappointed by the man's fickle heart.
After dinner, Grandmother Dawson dragged Liam into the living room to chat.
"Liam, are you recovering well? While you were in the hospital, I wasn't in the best of health either, so I didn’t visit you all that while." "It's nothing serious. I was just admitted for a regular check-up. No need to worry about me, Auntie."
"You were admitted for so long just for a regular check -up? Are you sure you’re alright?” Grandmother Dawson gazed at Liam worriedly. She was afraid that h e was lying to her.
Liam was in no hurry to reply to Grandmother Dawson. Instead, he glanced at Anna from the corner o f his eyes.
Anna was puzzled by his gaze. The corners of her eyes twitched a little.
Why was he looking at her? What was his problem! She had nothing to do with it!
"It's really nothing serious. My eyes were just a little uncomfortable, that's all. It’s probably because work has been a little tiring recently,” Liam replied.
Anna almost burst out laughing. 'This is karma!'
His eyes must be uncomfortable because he was looking at things that he should not have seen!
Liam glanced at her with eyes as sharp as knives. Anna quickly pressed her lips tight together and buried her urge to laugh out loud.
Everyone chatted for a little while longer. From time t o time, Daniel pushed Anna toward Liam with an expression that indicated his intention for Liam to take care of her.
