"Anna, you look like you're feeling much better today. You must be bored out of your mind these days. Let m e take you out for some fresh air."
Bryan stood attentively around Anna, like a caring and affectionate fiance.
Anna turned her head away slightly. She did not want to see Bryan running circles around her. "It's quite nice in the house. I don't feel like going out."
Chloe commented in a cute voice, "How can she be bored with us taking care of her! Right, Anna?"
She did not want Bryan to take Anna out either!
Anna’s lips curled up slightly. She gazed at Anna's beautiful dainty face and said, "But it'll be nice to go out for a stroll too."
Charles was right. Not every action could bring her luck, but taking no action would surely bring her no luck.
It was time she made the first move instead of waiting to counter others' attacks. Otherwise, she would be no different than a turtle hiding in its shell.
"I'll go with Anna!" Chloe offered hastily.
Displeased, Bryan furrowed his brows. He shot a glance at Chloe, warning her to back down.
Chloe pretended as if she did not see a thing. She smiled sweetly. "Bryan, you're a man. Anna can't see well and there'll be no one to keep an eye on her when she goes to the restroom."
Nicole quickly agreed, "That's right, that's right! You're so thorough, Chloe! Bryan, it will be more convenient i f you bring Chloe with you.”
"It's okay, that's just a small matter! We're getting married soon. Rest assured, Mrs. Hamilton, I can take good care of Anna." Bryan held Anna's hand warmly. His tender eyes gazed deeply at Anna.
It was as if Anna was the only person in his eyes at that moment. Chloe felt her chest tighten again.
Anna smiled faintly. "Let's take Chloe too! It’s more convenient with her taking care of me."
Seeing that Anna had already voiced her opinion, Bryan had no choice but to accept.
Bryan helped Anna into the car and buckled her seatbelt for her. "Anna, where would you like to go?"
Before Anna could open her mouth, Chloe butted in," Bryan, I know of a nice restaurant that just opened recently. Let's go have lunch there! And after lunch, w e can go shopping!"
Bryan turned to Anna. "What do you think, Anna?"
“Let's go to the Dawson family mansion. I'd like to visit
Grandma."
Of course, Anna did not genuinely want to visit Grandmother Dawson. It was Charles that ordered her to go to the Dawson family mansion. He heard Nicole calling out for Anna and announcing Bryan's arrival through her wristband.
What was Charles planning this time!
She yearned to break free from the feeling of being controlled by others. However, Charles was blackmailing her. If she did not listen to his commands, he would reveal her secret.
Anna had no choice but to obey.
Chloe clenched her teeth angrily. She glared at Anna. How dare she ruin her date with Bryan!
They arrived at the Dawson family mansion where Grandmother Dawson was taking a brisk walk in the garden.
Chloe glanced at Anna. She did not give her the chance to speak first. Chloe quickly ran up to Grandmother Dawson and wrapped her arm around hers.
She said in a sweet voice, "Grandma, we're here to visit you!"
"Oh, Chloe! How thoughtful of you to come and visit m e!"
"Grandma, I missed you! How have you been?" Chloe snuggled up to Grandmother Dawson's shoulder like a n adorable little child.
"Good, good."
