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

Chapter 703 Her Heart Trembled

"Mr. Ackman, you're really a busy man. Don’t you even have time to read the final draft? You were so demanding at first, but now are you going to leave it to me? Can you rest easy?" Anna said coldly with sarcasm.

Her white pure face revealed a trace of doubt. She didn’t believe Liam would let her go so easily.

Seeing her cold and provocative look, Liam curved his thin lips.

"I can do what I want. Do you have a problem with that?" Liam answered stonily with stern gaze.

"No, I’ll do as you ask. Then it's finalized. I'm so happy! " Anna smiled as she tapped her fingers on the bottom right corner of the final draft.

"Since you agree to the finalized design, please sign it and don't forget to write the date on it as well."

Liam took the pen from Anna's hand and gracefully wrote down his name.

He couldn't help coughing violently when he raised his eyes.

Anna originally thought Liam would soon stop coughing. However, he coughed until his fair and stolid face flushed because of lack of oxygen.

"What's wrong?" Anna stood up in a panic, gently patted Liam's back, and carefully stroked him up and down to help him breath.

Liam slightly shook his head as he put his fist over his mouth, coughing vigorously.

When he got up in the morning, his throat was as painful as if needles were stuck into it. Sometimes it felt like a feather was tickling his throat. It was dry, itchy, and sore.

Anna furrowed her good-looking eyebrows as she asked curiously, "Are you catching a cold? I've almost got over my cold, but yesterday you..."

She quickly bit her tongue.

A hint of embarrassment flashed across her pink cheeks.

She doubted if she had given him a cold.

Liam coughed, saying, "I'm strong."

In response, Anna rolled her eyes at him with disdain.

Anna hurriedly stood up with a glint of anxiety in her bright eyes. She then beckoned to the waiter not far away.

"Hello, can I have a cup of warm water?"

The waiter quickly brought the warm water over.

Anna lowered her eyes, briskly rummaging through her backpack.

Looking at her pure face, Liam pursed his thin lips.

"Here it is!" Anna raised her head, a smile spreading across her clear face.

She carefully opened the package of the medicine and crooked her finger at Liam.

Liam raised his eyebrows, obediently reaching out to take the medicine.

"This is all the cold medicine I have. Take it first! Remember to buy some when you go back and pass by the pharmacy." Anna put the cup in Liam's hand.

Liam's heart lurched as he swallowed the pill in silence.

His deep, sharp eyes narrowed as he gazed intently at Anna.

"I want to ask you a question."

"What is it?"

"If we both fall into the sea and there is only one board, will you leave it to me?"

Anna quickly reacted, elegantly rested her hands on her right knee, and answered flatly, "Isn't this the plot of 'Titanic'?"

The Titanic hit the iceberg, and as it was sinking, Jack gave up the board to Rose.

Anna thought, "This is modern times. How could Liam ask such a childish question?"

She stared at Liam with surprise.

Liam's face became gloomy as he asked seriously, ¹ Answer me."

"Are you sure you want to hear my answer?" Anna chuckled, her eyes gleaming wickedly.

Liam nodded slightly.

"Of course I won't because you can swim."

Seeing that Liam face was as dark as ink, Anna burst into laughter.

"And no matter where you go, you have bodyguards with you. Once something happens to you, they’ll do everything to protect you. Even if you really fall into the sea, your people will fly a helicopter to find you and pick you up."

"So why do you have to make it difficult for me and ask me to make such a boring choice? After all, I’m not good at swimming."

Liam was a little angry.

His face clouded. Anna hurriedly resisted the urge to laugh, looking at Liam with a poker face.

She felt that her answer would drive Liam crazy.

She took a pleasure in getting back at him.

With a flame under his eyes, Liam said in a cold, grim voice, "This answer is not romantic at all."

"Romantic?" Anna sneered. "Did I hear you right? You want romance? Do you have the slightest idea what romance is?"

"Romance is nothing compared to survival!" Anna's eyes became frosty.

Thinking of what Liam once did to her, she felt a prick in her heart.

It was like a fatal knife wound that still couldn't be healed.

Liam raised his eyebrows and regained his composure.

"As long as one is in love, he’ll be romantic."

"Now that you love me so much, you can just give up the board to me. Why did you ask me?"

"It seems like you've contradicted yourself. You want t o know if I'll risk my life for you. You’re just weighing u p your gains and losses!"

Anna had become sharp and was no longer a sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

Liam was a little annoyed but felt guilty.

This woman was always like a hedgehog. He had once hurt her, and therefore she ruffled up her sharp thorns up at all times with fear.

Liam fell silent.

Anna felt that she had stumped Liam.

She sat up straight, stonily glancing at his sturdy shoulders and then looking at the doorway of the cafe.

A handsome, elegant man appeared at the entrance of the cafe. His side face was reflected in Anna's eyes. Her face instantly blanched.

It was Ethan.

Anna thought, 'He's back from his business trip.’

‘Why is he here?'

Anna suddenly stood up in a tizzy like a child who had done something bad. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Ethan was smiling, but the moment he saw Anna in the cafe, his smile faded.

He stared at her. His gentle, warm eyes gradually glazed over.

"Anna..."

Ethan's eyes fell on Liam. Then he found that Anna and Liam were wearing the same color trench coats.

Ethan suddenly felt his heart was pierced.

"Ethan, I'm just talking about the jewelry design with him!" Anna hurriedly explained, forcing a smile.

Ethan didn't speak, quietly standing there.

Liam got angry, throwing his phone on the table with a bang. Anna’s heart trembled.
