Take Control of Yourself, Please novel (Anna and Liam) novel Chapter 139

When Bryan noticed Anna’s arrival, he quickly took over from the waiter and personally helped Anna to the table he had reserved.

"Anna, you look so beautiful today." Bryan gazed at Anna with affectionate eyes.

Anna smiled silently. Bryan was a huge liar. She did not put on any makeup and came out in her casual clothes that day, yet he could still spit out the words ' you look so beautiful today'.

The people dining beside them turned to Bryan and Anna with glances of admiration.

"Quick, look! It's the eldest daughter of the Hamilton family and the son of the Dawsons."

"I heard that Ms. Hamilton's eyes have not healed completely yet. From the looks of it, her injury must be serious. She even needs someone to guide her."

"She can't have turned blind, right?"

"Nonsense! The Lincoln Group is so wealthy! There's n o way they would let their successor, the future CEO of their company, turn blind!"

Like an elegant gentleman, Bryan cut Anna’s steak for her and even personally fed the cut pieces to her. Everyone around them watched with admiration again.

"I thought that their marriage of convenience will be solely based on profit. Who knew that her fiance was s o gentle and compassionate toward her! She is such a lucky girl."

"I envy her so much. Her fiance is handsome and rich. Moreover, he treats her so well. They're such a loving couple..."

Anna chuckled wryly in her heart.

Lucky? Loving? Those things were nothing but an act he put on for the outside world.

Anna finally understood why Bryan did not book the entire restaurant that day. Moreover, he chose the peak hour to ask her out for lunch. Evidently, he only wanted to show the world how much he 'loved' her!

"Bryan, Chloe was the one that drove me here today. I think she's still outside. Should we ask her to join us?" Anna suggested in a soft tone.

Bryan’s hands trembled a little. "Anna, we’re on a date. Isn't it a bad idea for her to join us?"

"But it's not nice to make her wait outside either. She's my sister."

Bryan hesitated for a while, then whispered, "Anna, there's something I'd like to say, but I don't know if I should."

"Go ahead.” "Don't get me wrong-Chloe is a good girl, but... As her brother-in-law, I avoid arousing other's suspicions, right? The next time we go on a date, try not to bring her along."

"Bryan, what happened? You weren’t like this in the past. You were always very nice to Chloe and you even said that you would treat her like your own sister. Do you not like my sister now?" Anna furrowed her brows unhappily. Bryan quickly explained.

"No, Anna. I’m just saying, I'm her brother-in-law. I can see her as my own sister, but at the end of the day, she isn't. Do you know what I'm getting at?"

Bryan felt like his words were very clear, yet Anna still had a muddled expression on her face.

"Bryan, did something happen that upset you?"

"No, no!” Bryan was starting to panic. How could Anna still not understand what he was trying to get at!

"Anna, this is a date between the two of us. I really don't want another woman here." She must have understood after hearing that, right?

Anna gazed at Bryan silently. Of course, she knew what Bryan was implying. He wanted to say that Chloe had inappropriate intentions toward him. That way, even if Anna were to find out about their illicit relationship someday, Bryan would be able to keep his name clean.

That bastard Bryan! Did he think that he could just wipe his hands when he was done and put it all behind him as if nothing had happened? How naive!

"Chloe seems to like you a lot. It'd devastate her if you're suddenly distancing yourself from her." Anna sighed softly.

"Chloe may be stubborn at times and likes to throw little tantrums, but at the end of the day, she's still my sister. Bryan, please be a little more tolerant toward her, for my sake."

Bryan held Anna's hand and said in an earnest and affectionate tone, "Anna, don't worry. No matter what Chloe does, she will still be your sister. I will surely be tolerant and forgiving toward her."

After that, Bryan continued.
