Take Control of Yourself, Please novel (Anna and Liam) novel Chapter 496

In England

In Hwalton County

This area was a wealthy suburb. All the houses are classical European-style villas with elegant surroundings, each covering thousands of square meters.

The afternoon sun was bright, the sky was blue and the clouds were white, so it was definitely a pleasure t o sit basking in the sun.

Anna sat under the ivy arbor, tasting the fragrant coffee, listening to the young woman who was sitting across her, chattering to her all about the gossip of the past few years in their home country.

The young woman's name was Michelle, a neighbor who moved in next door to Anna's house not long ago.

Michelle had two sons. The elder was three years old and the younger just turned 100 days old.

Two days ago, when Michelle's younger son had his 100 days' birthday banquet, Anna gave the little boy a gold and emerald locket as his birthday gift in courtesy. The locket was designed and made by Anna herself.

Michelle was incredibly delighted. She had grown closer to Anna since then.

Then Anna was a famous jewelry designer in England.

Each piece of her personal work would be worth millions of dollars, although they were not priceless.

Michelle was not a high-born woman. Although she had "married" into a wealthy family, she still had an immense obsession with money. She thought that the gift of money was the best to found a friendship.

Although Michelle was a little frivolous and vain in her talking, Anna did not care too much.

It was nice to have someone from her home country to spend the afternoon and have some chat together.

"Although my husband's business is doing so big, we are not one of those top fortunes. Actually, there is nothing to envy."

"If we're talking about someone worth envying, I envy you, Eileen."

"You have your own business, and your family, the three of you, live happily together. Although life is a bit busy, it is satisfying."

"Well, look at me! Every day is just about looking after the two kids and nothing else to do. I'm so bored of my life!"

"Before there were two other women, they would come to me and take me to a spa to have skincare. It was so boring, just lying there and letting others press around on your body."

Michelle stroked her delicate, fresh skin. "I think at m y age, my skin is still full of collagen. There's no need t o let the beauticians rub around on my face. I might as well buy some top-notch skincare products and use them back home myself. It also saves time."

Michelle just turned 22 years old. She was indeed quite young.

Anna took a sip of coffee and then lay down the cup o n the table gently.

Staring at Anna's delicate face, suddenly, Michelle exclaimed, "Eileen, how old are you?"

"25," Anna answered briskly.

"Ah! You're actually 25!" Michelle cupped her cheek and exclaimed.

Anna was taken aback by her. "What's wrong?"

"I couldn't believe it at all that you're actually 25 years old. I thought that you were younger than me." Michelle's beautiful eyes slightly narrowed.

The first half of her sentence was delightful. However, the second half would not make people very happy about it in any way.

"Although you have taken good care of your skin and your figure, once a woman turns over 25, time flies by and you are running to your thirties. You really need t o take good care of it and keep up your beauty." "I have planned that, when I'm 25, I'll start spending all day in the beauty salon. As a woman, you still have to keep a pretty face to catch your husband's heart."

Michelle started her talks again, and Anna listened in fascination.

"Eileen, although your husband loves you very much, time flies without mercy. After a man gets success, with so many coquettish young girls out there, you must focus on yourself. Dress yourself up gorgeously t o seize your man's heart."

"Look at me! I'm the best example! If I wasn't young and pretty, would my husband look at me?" Michelle pointed at herself, a smug smile appearing at the corner of her lips.

Although Anna didn't quite agree with Michelle's words, she also knew that it was true.
