Take Control of Yourself, Please novel (Anna and Liam) novel Chapter 41

As soon as Bryan’s fingers made contact with Anna, her eyes narrowed and she quickly drew her hand back.

Bryan chased after her hand and caught hold of it, clasping it tightly within his large palm.

"Anna, my uncle is family after all," said Bryan affectionately. He completely missed the icy cold look in Liam’s eyes.

Anna could already sense the surrounding air getting colder. She continued to struggle and was finally able t o snatch back her hand.

Bryan maintained his warm, tender smile. Anna was the sole focus of his attention right now, there was no one else in his eyes.

Naturally, he did not notice Liam's stormy expression.

"Anna, do you like it here?" asked Bryan softly.

Anna nodded her head in response. "The environment here is lovely.” Inwardly, she added another sentence,' Or it would be if Liam wasn't here making the atmosphere so tense.'

Bryan’s face was lit up by a smile as bright as the daylight. "I'm glad that you like it. We should come here more often in the future."

Anna looked at his bright smile and suddenly felt a little upset. If this were before, each time he smiled at her this way, she felt like she was extremely lucky to have met a man who was so considerate towards her.

However, who knew that the handsome and suave young master of the Dawson family would be a scum who would cheat on his fiancee with her sister.

Fate loved playing such tricks on people.

At that moment, Anna faced Bryan, looking as gentle a s a spring breeze. She was gentle and considerate, yet inside, her heart was breaking.

If everything in the past had not happened, they would both be hosting Liam respectfully as their uncle at today’s meal.

The waiter served their meal, interrupting Anna’s thoughts. She had not eaten the whole day and was feeling quite ravenous now. She threw everything out of her mind and focused on the beef filet in front of her.

Bryan smiled warmly at her. "Allow me to help you."

He took over Anna’s plate and helped her to slice her beef filet into smaller pieces.

Liam who was sitting across him was displeased. He asked, "Is she a child who doesn't know how to use a knife and fork?"

Bryan lifted his head and his eyes revealed a hint of annoyance as he looked at Liam. He was stunned.

"This is how a gentleman treats a lady. It has nothing t o do with whether I know how to use a knife and fork!" retorted Anna coldly.

Liam scoffed quietly. He glanced at Anna out of the corner of his eye. His gaze was so sharp, it swept across her like a knife. "I didn’t know that you liked to eat food that has been touched by others. Don’t you think that it's dirty?" u n

Bryan looked embarrassed. What did Liam mean by ' dirty'? What kind of nonsense was his uncle saying? It sounded like he thought that Bryan was dirty. Hence, everything that he had touched with his knife and fork would now be 'polluted'.

Anna also felt embarrassed. 'Liam Ackman, how can you be so blunt!? He's still your aunt's grandson,' thought Anna to herself.

Bryan no longer dared to continue helping Anna cut her beef filet and returned her plate, placing it before her.

Liam seemed pleased by this. He picked up his knife and fork and began cutting his own beef filet into little pieces.

He was currently acting as if he were a highly exalted king, sitting in this sumptuously decorated restaurant as if it were his palace. His entire body radiated with a powerful, dominating aura.

Anna lowered her eyes which were filled with disdain and coldness towards Liam.

"Why is he putting on such airs?" she muttered under her breath.

Liam raised his head and stretched out his leg under the table towards Anna. He used his shoe tip to gently prod her smooth and tender calf.

Anna's entire body tensed up. She nearly dropped the cutlery in her hand.

The corner of Liam's lips curled up slightly. He leaned his upper body closer and asked Anna right in front of Bryan indifferently.

"What did you say?"

Anna's heart lurched. His voice, his aura, even every single word that he said was full of a masculine aura. I t felt cool and ticklish as it blew past her soft ears.

"I... I didn't say anything."
