Take Control of Yourself, Please novel (Anna and Liam) novel Chapter 36

Bryan arrived at the Hamilton family home bright and early in the morning. Just as before, he would come bearing 99 red roses as a gift each day.

Anna lay on her bed, not wanting to bother heading out to meet him. She did not want to see Bryan. Every time she saw him, she felt as if there was a thorn in her heart.

The song in her bracelet began to play. It was the sound of children singing 'Jingle Bells’, reminding her to use her eye drops.

She could not help but laugh as she rushed to put on the eye drops. Anna closed her eyes and lay on her bed. Her mood instantly improved as she listened to the cheerful music play.

Right at that moment, the doorbell rang.

Chloe's voice rang out from outside her door.

"Anna, Bryan is here. Mom and dad have asked you to come down."

Anna did not respond. Instead, she waited for the music to finish playing before she slowly got up and went to wash up.

Anna opened the door and stepped out, only to see Chloe's adorable smiling face.

If this were in the past, Anna would always feel her heart melt as soon as she saw her sister’s smile.

However, she now felt her heart go cold.

"Anna, Bryan has come with roses for you once again. I t seems like he really, really loves you."

Chloe seemed to particularly emphasize the last few words. She had hoped to see Anna's tearful expression. However, why did Anna appear so calm and emotionless?

A flash of hatred flashed across Chloe’s eyes.

In the living room, Bryan stood dressed in a white casual suit. He had just got his hair neatly trimmed and appeared to ooze an aura of dignified elegance.

Nicole and Daniel greeted Bryan warmly and were more welcoming now than they were before. Daniel felt that Anna had wronged Bryan and was afraid that the marriage joining the two families would be affected. Hence, he was doing his best to welcome Bryan.

"How are your parents? Now that something this big has happened in the family, you shouldn't have to run around all the time. Why don’t I get Anna to go with you to the hospital later? So that she can look after your grandmother," said Daniel.

"My grandmother is doing well. She just needs a few more days of rest, and she'll be discharged. There’s no need for you to worry."

Daniel said apologetically, "It's all Anna's fault that such a big problem has occurred."

"It's not Anna's fault. It's all a huge misunderstanding. I was the one who was too impulsive and angered my grandmother so much that she fell ill. It has nothing t o do with Anna. It's all my fault." 1

Daniel felt extremely pleased when he saw that Bryan was taking all the responsibility upon himself. Bryan's standing rose in Daniel's eyes.

"Ahem. That’s good. I can see that you treat Anna really well. I'm very happy about that. Once your grandmother has been discharged, we should discuss a wedding date for you and Anna."

A light flashed across Bryan’s eyes. However, at that moment, Chloe's voice rang out.

"Daddy, how can you be in such a rush to marry Anna off? I can't bear to see my sister leave. I still want to live with her for a little longer," whined Chloe as she hugged Anna's arm. 1

Anna coldly withdrew her arm and walked downstairs.

"Danny, Anna hasn't even graduated yet. It's too early t o be talking about getting married.”

Nicole's eyes became red-rimmed as her eyes started t o well up with tears.

"Nicole, why are you crying?" asked Daniel in a low voice as he pulled Nicole to sit beside him.

"I feel so sad when I think about Anna getting married. I... I can't bear to let her leave us."

Nicole buried herself in Daniel's arms and started to sob.

Oh, she looked like a paradigm of a loving mother!

As soon as Bryan saw Anna coming down the stairs, h e rushed over to greet her.

"Anna..."

Chloe could see that Anna was the only person in Bryan's eyes and her eyes burned with a jealous rage.

"Anna, I've got these flowers for you," said Bryan as he brought out a huge bunch of red roses.

Anna walked past him without even sparing him a look.

Bryan was embarrassed. He struggled to keep the warm smile on his face.
