Chapter 38 You Want To Make This Game More Exciting?
Anna could not help but shudder when she saw Liam enter. The blood drained from her face. She did not know why she was feeling guilty so she quickly said to Grandmother Dawson. "Grandma, how are you feeling? I'm going to stay here and look after you. I'm not going anywhere."
"Haha, such a good child. It's the thought that counts. I'm feeling much better. Besides, I always have people looking after me. You should focus on spending quality time with Bryan. Enjoy yourself. That would make me happier than you spending time with me here."
As Grandmother Dawson spoke, she grabbed Bryan's hand and tightly clasped it together with Anna's hand.
Bryan took the opportunity to quickly grab hold of Anna's little soft hand. He gazed at her intently with passionate eyes.
"Anna, I promise that from now on, I will give you all that I have."
Anna could feel the warmth radiating from Bryan's palm and felt as though her heart was being savagely crushed by some object.
She quickly withdrew her hand and avoided Bryan's gaze. To everyone else, she looked like she was feeling extremely shy and embarrassed. "Liam, they look more and more like a perfect match to me. Come quickly and take a look. Don't they look just like husband and wife?"
"Yes, that's right. I also think that they look like a married couple," agreed Daniel.
"Anna, grandma said that we look like husband and wife. It seemed like we were fated to be married," said Bryan.
Liam was stone-faced. His jet-black eyes were like icicles, causing the temperature around them to drop by several degrees.
As for his response, it was colder and harsher than his appearance. It made the atmosphere even more awkward. "They don't look like a couple at all!"
Everyone was speechless and turned to look at Liam in surprise. The people who were in a jolly mood instantly went silent. CEO Ackman! Was it really necessary to ruin the mood like this?
Liam did not seem to think that he had done anything wrong. He strode until he was standing before Grandmother Dawson.
From where he was standing, he was directly positioned between Bryan and Anna. He had successfully separated the seemingly intimate couple.
By doing so, it seemed as though they had become forcefully separated lovers, just like Borneo and Juliet.
Anna clearly sensed the cold aura emanating from Liam. Goosebumps instantly appeared all over her body.
"Aunty, you're tired. You should get some rest." Liam spoke with an indifferent tone as he helped
Grandmother Dawson, who was in high spirits, settle back onto the bed.
Grandmother Dawson still did not understand his intentions. Hence, Liam pulled up the covers and laid them over Grandmother Dawson. He looked like he was looking after a small child. His actions caused Grandmother Dawson to suddenly feel a little sleepy even though she had no intention of sleeping.
This was a conditioned reflex from lying down in bed.
Grandmother Dawson yawned and said, "Now that you've mentioned it. I do feel a little tired."
Anna rushed to say, "Grandma, you should get some good rest."
Once she finished speaking, Anna quickly ran out of the hospital room to get away from the iceman that was Liam, who was slowly freezing her into an ice cube.
Bryan swiftly caught up with her and grabbed hold of Anna who was trying to escape.
"Anna, we're going on a date after this. Why are you in such a rush to leave?"
Bryan pulled Anna into his arms and said, "Where are you planning to go in such a hurry?"
Anna quickly pushed him away. "Let go of me!" she insisted.
"Anna, we're about to get married soon. Can you stop being so shy?"
Bryan did the opposite and hugged her even more tightly. At that moment, Liam walked out of the hospital room. When he saw Bryan hugging Anna, his expression turned so dark, it felt like one could squeeze black ink out of his pores.
Anna panicked. She forcefully pushed Bryan aside then frantically retreated from him. However, she accidentally tripped and fell backward.
Bryan took a quick step forward and caught her slender waist with one arm. He held her securely and said in a tender and affectionate tone, "How could you be so careless?"
Anna was once again faced with Bryan's hot and passionate gaze. His lips leaned in close to her. She hurried to push him away and shrink to one side, redfaced.
Bryan had hoped to cradle Anna in his arms and have a grand time teasing her, to increase the physical chemistry between them. However, he could clearly sense a chill air coming from behind him. Bryan could not help but shrug his shoulders and quickly turn his head back...
"Un... uncle.." stammered Bryan.
Liam's expression was as cold as ice. He did not bother turning to look at Bryan as he spoke. "Head back to the room to watch over your grandmother."
Anna quickly answered, "Okay," and was about to escape for the hospital room when she heard Liam's cold voice.
"I wasn't speaking to you!"
"H
Anna seemed to lose control of her legs. They were stuck to the ground where she stood. She wanted to pretend that she did not hear his words and continue to rush towards Grandmother Dawson's room to save herself. However, her legs did not obey her.
Liam pointed a finger at Bryan and snapped, "Why aren't you going yet!?"
Bryan was stunned and immediately responded. He obediently returned to the room to look after his grandmother.
Anna stood, frozen to the spot outside the hospital room door. She could acutely sense the chill going down her spine. It nearly caused all her limbs to freeze.
"Miss Anna. Follow me to the doctor's office. Some important things would be best handed over to a woman." Liam's voice was so cold it seemed to be able to freeze water.
Anna knew that following him would be basically walking into a trap. However, she felt like she was held captive by a magic spell. She was completely unable to control herself and followed obediently behind Liam.
As she was panicking about how she would escape this situation, the person in front of her suddenly stopped in his tracks and she collided with him.
Anna held onto her sore nose. She was close to tears yet Liam's icy cold voice rang above her head.
"It seems that you like throwing yourself into other people's arms."
His words were filled with malice and scorn, causing Anna's heart to lurch. However, his jealousy did seem a little strange and misplaced, right?
"Umm..." Anna thought about it and decided that it would be better to address Liam as uncle.
"Uncle, let's head to the doctor's office then."
Once she finished speaking, Anna sped up her footsteps and rushed to walk ahead of him. However, she had barely taken a few steps when her arm was caught by a large hand. With a forceful tug, the two of them ended up in a storage room at the side.
He pushed her forcefully against the wall to one side.
The aura surrounding him was frosty, yet his breath a s he exhaled was boiling hot. It made Anna feel as though she was trapped in hell, held between opposing forces of hot and cold.
"You seem to really like calling me uncle. Do you think that I can treat you like this as your uncle?"
As he spoke, Liam's broad hand began to wander over Anna's body.
Anna wanted to push him away but it was a shame that her strength was not a match to his.
In her helplessness, Anna could only reach out her hand to shut the storage room door. She then locked the door shut.
Liam misunderstood her intention. His thin lips curved into an evil smile as he said, "Oh? So you want to make this game a little more exciting?"
Anna was speechless.
She was worried that they would find it hard to explain why they were in this position if anyone walked in. However, before she could respond, Liam's warm lips had enveloped her in a passionate kiss.
