Heavy rain followed by a loud thunderclap.Anna was having trouble sleeping soundly. The booming thunder woke her up. After that, she found that she could not go back to sleep.Liam had not been contacting her those few days. ‘Did he forget about me?‘Maybe…’‘He has a new woman in mind?’Anna shook her head, shaking away the nonsense in her head.She was glad that he did not bother her. It would be even better if their relationship could come to a clean break! Otherwise, the ending would be bad for both of them if they had kept up this entanglement!Anna grabbed her phone. The soft lumination of her phone screen shone onto her bare face in the dark, making it seem as though her face was glowing. She clicked into her university group chat, wondering if that quirky Charles had done anything weird in the chat again.She opened the chat to be met with the students having a discussion about her.[Guys, why do you think Geeky Anna hasn’t been appearing these few days?][You’re t
After taking back the cash prizes, Charles started spamming Anna’s private chat again. Anna’s phone could not stop buzzing.[Why won’t you reply?][Are you mute?][Are you blind?][Is everything above your neck just there for show?][Is everything below your neck also just for show?][You’re still awake? Are you a pig?]…Anna was thrown into a daze by all his insults.‘Is there seriously something wrong with his head?’Anna kept trying to block her, yet his account seemed to have some special functions. No matter how many times she blocked her, his messages still got through to her phone, making it buzz continuously.Anna took a deep breath to calm herself down.She yearned to reply to his messages to ask him who he was, but in the end, she refrained.First of all, that person had popped into her friends list out of nowhere.Secondly, he did not have any information on his profile, indicating it was a new account.Thirdly, he knew her name, so he could be a student at h
Anna managed to reach the hospital before noon. However, she was in no rush to enter. She had no idea why she even went. She wondered what Liam was up to this time.Could he be using her lie about her blindness to force her into doing things she did not want to do?That huge pervert had always been yearning for her. Clearly, he had no good intentions this time around either.Anna held on to the black wristband on her wrist. As she fumed internally about Liam’s intentions, her lips subconsciously curled upward.“Anna, what are you smiling about?” Chloe questioned as she glanced at Anna.Anna was staggered. “I was smiling?”“Yeah. So joyously too. It was as if you were thinking about your lover. The kind of smile that would make someone’s imagination run wild.” An opportunistic glow appeared in Chloe’s eyes. She drew closer to Anna and whispered, “Anna, there’s something not right here! Are you having an affair?”Anna’s eyes turned dark. “Is that any of your business?”“Of cour
The lights in the examination room were dim. There was also a series of blackout curtains within the room. When Anna first entered the room, she did not notice the man sitting on the furthest chair in the room at all.After she found out that Liam was there, she could not be at ease at all.“Attracting ghosts? Ms. Hamilton, did you see something you weren’t supposed to?” Micheal asked curiously.Anna let out a nervous laugh. “Dr. Hart, you must be joking. I can’t see anything right now, so how can I see something I’m not supposed to?”Micheal nodded. “I thought you had regained your vision.”Anna felt her surroundings with her hands, just like a blind person would. “I think I might be hallucinating. My mind seems to be easily filled with all sorts of hallucinations these days.”“Those things are all conjured up by your mind. You could only see those hallucinations if you’re constantly thinking about it in your head,” Micheal explained.Anna hit the table. “Dr. Hart, that makes s
Anna widened her beautiful eyes and stared at Liam’s large hand that was sliding down his own body.Just watching his movement had her body heat up. Her throat immediately turned dry.“Looks like you really want to see it.” Liam dragged his words out. A look of amusement filled his ink-black eyes.Anna felt her chest tighten. She abruptly snapped out of her daze and covered her eyes, screaming.“Huh? How could you be so perverted!”Liam was still grinning. He leaned in closer to Anna and moved her hands away from her face.“Don’t be shy. It’s not like you’ve never seen one before.”“You…!” Anna ground her teeth in fury.“Last time, I let you off the hook because you were feeling unwell. Now that you’re all healed up, I do not need to pardon you anymore,” Liam whispered. She could feel the heat of his scalding breath.Anna was flustered. Her heart thumped violently. She ground her teeth and said, “You really are…”Anna could not even think of any adjectives to describe him!H
It was a modern romance movie with an artistic touch. Most of the scenes were dragged out but with beautiful cinematography. The male and female lead loved each other but could not be together—that was the tear-jerking plot behind the entire movie. Anna subtly glanced at the man sitting beside her. She did not expect Liam to bring her to the movies—especially not this kind of movie. Who knew a brash and simple man like him would watch an emotional film about painful love…Anna shook away the goosebumps on her body. No matter how she looked at it, this scene did not suit him at all.Even so, Liam did not say a word. In fact, he seemed to be pretty absorbed in the movie, leaving Anna with no choice but to force herself to watch. Nonetheless, her mind had wandered off to a place far away…Halfway through the movie, they heard some girls whispering, “What’s wrong with people nowadays? How could they kiss like that in a theater? Look, even her dress has been lifted.”“Tut-tut, do you
“Let’s try it.” Liam put his arm around Anna’s shoulders and brought her into the car.“You can try it with yourself, you pervert!” Anna tossed her hands around frantically.Liam chuckled playfully. His eyes were as bright as stars. “What are you afraid of?”“This has nothing to do with fear! It’s about… It’s about you being a perverted bastard! Let go of me!” Anna pushed against his chest, grinding her teeth in rage.Liam kept laughing. Exasperated, Anna shook her little fist. “You perv. You perv!”Liam stopped toying with her. It turned out that he only leaned onto her to buckle her seatbelt.Anna’s face had once again flushed red. She did not dare to even glance at him.Liam got into the car and drove off.On the road, Anna was very quiet. She stared blankly out the window.It began to drizzle again. Rain pattered onto the car window, turning the scenery outside gloomy.The somber weather reflected Anna’s emotions perfectly.Liam took a glance at her. He suddenly pitied h
Every year, there would be a business networking event hosted in Johannes City attended by famed businessmen from all sorts of industries.As the person in charge of the Lincoln Group, Daniel naturally received an invitation as well.That year, the attendee that caught the most attention was none other than the CEO of Ackman Group, Liam Ackman. Anyone would take this opportunity to establish a connection with the Ackman family.Daniel saw a gap and seized the opportunity to walk up to Liam with a glass of wine. “Mr. Ackman, how is Madam Dawson doing lately?”Daniel intended to use his relationship with Grandmother Dawson to get closer to Liam. Nonetheless, Liam’s attitude remained cold and nonchalant.“She’s doing alright. Thank you for the concern, Mr. Hamilton.”Daniel immediately put on a smile. “That’s great! Madam Dawson has always treated Anna with kindness. When Anna marries into that family, she can take good care of Grandmother Dawson.”Liam raised his brows. He gazed a
