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

Chapter 818 To Cause Ethan to Quit

Gemma stood out in the Children's Dance Competition of Johannes City and got the first prize.

To take Gemma home in a dignified manner, Liam held a party in the name of celebration, hoping that his friends could get together.

Liam also prepared invitations for this purpose.

But Liam only had a friend - Michael.

As for the outsiders, he would not invite them.

But there were only two or three people close to him, the party invitations seemed redundant because he could invite them over on the phone.

Liam was so fussed about the party probably because he wanted to give Ethan a way out.

Michael and Nina helped Liam decorate the garden into a festive venue for the banquet.

"Why did Mr. Ackman ask you and me to invite Anna and Gemma over?" Nina looked at Michael and she suddenly felt like they were setting up a wedding by hanging colored lights and ribbons.

Nina blushed at this thought.

Michael thought for a while, "It must be that he doesn't know whether he should send an invitation to

Mr. Collins or not. It is our fault if we don't send the invitation to Mr. Collins. If we send it to him, then we are offending Mr. Ackman!"

"Mr. Ackman is indeed sophisticated. He has been so thoughtful about details like this." Nina shook her head.

"That makes sense. Mr. Ackman and Mr. Collins are love rivals. They don't get along well with each other every time they meet. How could Mr. Ackman invite M r. Collins over on such an occasion? Isn't it asking for trouble?"

Michael nodded, "So, characteristically, he won't invite Mr. Collins!"

Nina also nodded in the same manner as Michael, and they looked quite like a couple.

"But I do admire Mr. Ackman for being so broadminded. I think Mr. Ackman loves Anna very much. H e not only tolerates the fact that Anna lives with

Ethan, but also has done a lot for Anna without telling her."

"To love someone means that you always need to be more tolerant so as not to lose your love," Michael said in a low voice. He cast a glance at Nina and then lowered his head. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Nina's heart trembled a bit. She lowered her head too.

"Yes! Love means one has to give a lot."

Anna walked over with two cups of juice and said to

Michael and Nina with a smile, "Thank you for your help today, drink some juice and take a rest."

Nina took the juice and drank it, "Don't mention it, as long as Gemma is happy, we'll all be happy."

"It is still a bit cold now, but I have checked the weather forecast, it is sunny on the day of the party and the temperature is fine, it won't be too cold in the courtyard," Michael said.

Liam walked over, with a smile on his face, giving a feeling of nobleness and overbearingness.

"The date was chosen by me. Of course, it will be a good day."

Nina eyed Michael. Then they deliberately moved aside to make room for Liam and Anna.

Anna's cheeks turned red. Feeling shy, she took a few steps aside lest she would get close to Liam. Her heart almost stopped beating again.

"Anna, it's time to thank Mr. Ackman for preparing this surprise for Gemma!" Nina said.

"That's right, Anna. Gemma will be very happy when she comes to this beautiful party later," agreed Michael.

Anna blushed again and she really wanted to say, 'As Gemma's father, isn't he supposed to do something for her?' But she felt it wasn't appropriate.

"Thank you for preparing such a surprise for Gemma."

Anna smiled faintly.

The moment Liam saw Anna smile, his eyes lighted u P-"You don't have to thank me for what I do for you and Gemma!" Liam's lips curled into a profound smile.

Anna really wanted to roll her eyes at Liam, but she had to show her respect for him with Nina and Michael present.

"Alright!" Anna smiled, "I will come to the party on time with Gemma and Ethan."

"What did you say?" Liam's asked in a cold voice.

"Excuse me, I am leaving now. It's time to pick up Gemma from class!" Anna did not give Liam a chance t o say one more word. She took her handbag and hurried out of Liam's villa.

Liam's face hardened immediately.

'Anna!'

It was the weekend the next day.

Anna had Gemma dressed in the pink princess gown Liam had sent her. Then she headed for the Fitzrovia Hills together with Gemma and Ethan.

Today, Liam was going to celebrate Gemma's winning first place in the dancing competition.

Gemma did not know why she came here before she arrived at Liam's villa. She was surprised to see so many colorful balloons, ribbons, and lights in the courtyard. And on the tables were various pink dolls.

"Wow! It's so beautiful! Are all these prepared for me?" Gemma jumped and went round and round joyfully.

"Yes!"

"Congratulations to Gemma for winning the first prize! n

"Congratulations!"

Nina, Michael, and Jamie rushed out and sprayed ribbons over Gemma.

It was Gemma's first time to receive congratulations from so many people.

In the past, Gemma would have a celebration like this on her birthday and Christmas, but she only had her mommy and daddy with her.

This time, however, with so many people around Gemma, she simply felt that she was a star at this moment. She was beaming with satisfaction.

"Thank you all! I feel so happy!"

Liam walked out. He was happy that his daughter loved this surprise.

However, the moment Liam saw that Ethan was standing next to Anna, his handsome face darkened.

'Anna really brought Ethan here! This foul woman!'

'Hasn't she realized that even if there are only a few people at the party, they all come in pairs?

'So has she brought Ethan here to match him with

Jamie?'

Anna and Ethan could tell that Liam was unhappy. But Ethan was cool and collected as if Liam hadn't been here. He kept smiling and looked at Gemma, who was elated now.

At first, Anna worried that Ethan would feel embarrassed, but she became relieved when she saw Ethan wasn't so.

"Gemma, let me take you over there. The decorations there are more beautiful!" Taking Gemma's hand, Anna took her to the further end of the courtyard where the field was covered with balloons.

Children loved those colorful balloons. Jumping up and down, she rolled among the balloons.

Jamie shrieked, "Be careful, little munchkin. We just wore our cheeks out to blow up these balloons yesterday evening.

Anna couldn't help giggling, "Yes, Gemma! You have to cherish Auntie's fruits of labor."

Gemma stuck her tongue out at Jamie, "Why don't you use a pump?"

Jamie's brows furrowed, "Yeah, there is a pump! Why didn't you prepare a pump yesterday evening?"

Nina and Michael laughed, "We all used the pump, and only you blew up them with your mouth!"

Jamie stomped his feet in anger.

Everyone laughed except for Liam.

Liam wasn't laughing for he saw Ethan was here and ruined his chance of having a good time with Gemma and Anna.

But...

Liam’s eyes shone with light as a plan came to his mind.

He could take this opportunity today to cause Ethan to quit.
