Take Control of Yourself, Please novel (Anna and Liam) novel Chapter 173

In the coffee shop.

Just as Anna had taken the first sip from her coffee, she saw a red beam of light shining from the table across from her. The fragrance of an enchanting woman diffused from that direction.

She focused her gaze and almost spit out the mouthful of coffee she just drank.

Jamie was wearing a fashionable skin-tight red suit. There was even a black lace collar buckled around his neck with a bell attached to it. His slightly curled fringe hung casually in front of his brows. His eyes were caked with makeup more dazzling than a woman's. Jamie rolled his eyes at her.

"Tch, you're so heartless. You only came for coffee!

You didn't even want to budge when I asked you here t o pick a fight!" Jamie fanned himself with a miniature fan in one hand while keeping his other wrist limp.

"Who do you want to fight?” Anna forcibly swallowed the sip of coffee in her mouth.

"Who else can it be!"

"That Prince Charming that dumped you?"

"Bah! Why would I fight him! I can't even love him enough!" "Then who do you want to fight?" Anna blinked her

big eyes.

Jamie rolled his eyes. He sat down and started rambling on and on. "You really are heartless! When I saw the news about that playboy and his b*tch, I didn't sleep for a whole night out of rage! Look at my eyebags! I can't even show my face outside without putting on eye makeup!

"You, on the other hand, even cried on TV and said you'll support them! You had that whole Mother Teresa face going on. Instead, you should have looked into the camera and told the whole world you wanted t o chop them up and feed them to a cuckold...”

Anna more or less knew who Jamie wanted to fight already. 1

"That’s not enough! After he sh*ts them out, we’ll feed the excrement to dogs!"

"Stop! Alright, I was wrong. Please keep it down." Anna quickly covered Jamie’s opening and closing lips.

Jamie rolled his eyes in a feminine manner. He gently hit the back of her hand.

"Humph! You smudged my lipstick."

"I wish I could pretend I didn't know you..." Anna placed her palm on her head. "What’s up with you today? Why are you dressed so sexily?" 1

"Are you saying I don't look sexy any other day?" Jamie crossed his legs and continued to fan himself.

His eyes were filled with nothing but a flirtatious look.

"You do! Of course, you do! Today just seems a little..." Anna looked him up and down. His entire outfit was a s red as fire. "At least it's not too revealing!"

Jamie shot a piercing glance at her. Anna hurriedly corrected herself, "Hehe... It's just that you normally dress a little more modestly compared to today.”

"It’s all because of you! I haven't had a good night’s sleep for days! Everything I do is a mess. So... I dressed in all red today to cheer myself up! And cheer you up too! Hehehe..." Jamie covered her mouth with her fan and chuckled coyly.

"What's with that bell then?" 1

"This? Don't you think it’s adorable? My dear, meow-" Jamie placed his fists beside his cheeks and blinked a t her with puppy eyes.

"Pft..."

Jamie rolled his eyes. "Heartless! I'm just trying to cheer you up."

Anna laughed. It was truly lucky for her to have a friend like him in her life.

Those few years, she had always shut herself in a fantasy world she made up.

She did not have a mother's warmth and love, yet she had two amazing friends and books to keep her company. She also had a mission she had devoted herself to.

She had always felt that her life could be considered full and empowering.

However, after being betrayed by both Bryan and Chloe, and after Liam's forceful intrusion, Anna realized that the world she knew was simply a fabrication of her mind. The real world was much more complicated and much more hideous.

One could never tell what the other was thinking. Just like Jamie-he was pulling out all the stops to make her happy, thinking that she was devastated about the incident with Bryan. Little did he know, her sorrow stemmed from another man.

Anna shook her head again. 'Jamie, please calm down. It will be disastrous if you slip up and cause both of us trouble."

Jamie seemed to have sensed Anna's thoughts from outside the window. He instantly rolled his eyes at her and flashed her with an expression that said, 'You better widen your eyes and watch carefully.'

Bryan held Chloe in his arms. They did not enter the coffee shop. They were probably heading to the shopping mall across the street.

The whole way there, Chloe and Bryan were acting extremely affectionate. There was not a second when his hands were not unruly. From time to time, he would grab her buttocks and squeeze-sometimes hard and other times soft. It made Chloe twist around wildly and finally leaned into his embrace.

Anna had long seen their unscrupulous act in public a s if no one was watching. Their live performance that time could surely be called a blockbuster movie.

"Still acting so amorously, sticking to each other like glue! They are in public, yet they have no shame! As expected of a b*tch and a bastard!" Jamie grumbled as he marched toward them.

Bryan brought Chloe into a women's clothing store across from the coffee shop.

The store glass windows everywhere. Sitting in the coffee shop across the street, Anna could clearly see every movement in the clothing store.

Chloe had picked out a pink dress and went into the fitting room.

After a short while, Chloe came out of the fitting room and spun in her dress for Bryan.

The tight hot pink dress outlined the beautiful curves of her body. With the thick makeup on her face, Chloe looked exceedingly sexy.

Jamie glanced scornfully at Anna. He sent her a text o n her phone and darted into the clothing store.

[My dear, watch carefully. Remember to applaud my brilliance. It'd be even better if you recorded the whole thing!]

Anna placed her hand on her forehead again. "Jamie, please don’t turn this into a huge commotion. It’ll be hard to deal with the aftermath."

Anna did not want the innocent child to be caught up i n a mess between the adults. Besides, Grandmother Dawson had always yearned for a great-grandchild.

Jamie kept his phone and fixed his clothes. He twisted his slender waist as he rushed up to Bryan...
