With the maids of the Dawson household busying themselves in the kitchen, the living room was empty, allowing Chloe to be bolder.Chloe placed her dainty hand on Bryan’s leg and slowly slid it upward, gently massaging his inner thigh.Bryan wanted to push her hand away, but at the same time, it felt so good. He held Anna’s hand with one hand while the other slithered around Chloe’s waist. Anna acted as if she could not see a thing. She clenched her fist so tightly that her knuckles turned white.She could see them stepping more and more out of line. Rage was about to burst out from her heart, yet she bottled it up deep within her.Aroused by Chloe’s seductive touch, Bryan gently rubbed her thigh with his large hand and squeezed her smooth and tender skin. Chloe could not help but let out a soft moan.“Ah…”Bryan immediately covered her mouth. His eyes darted toward her with a warning gaze.“What happened?”Anna asked, turning her head toward Chloe. Her stare made Chloe’s ches
In the dining hall of the Dawson family mansion.Naturally, Grandmother Dawson sat at the head of the table.As usual, Liam sat on the first seat to the left of Grandmother Dawson.Liam had taken over Bryan’s usual seat. Logically speaking, Bryan’s seat should be beside Liam’s, one rank below him in the family hierarchy.However, Bryan was too afraid of him. He hurriedly sat on the seat across Liam. Luckily, Amelia was not home that day. Otherwise, she surely would have mocked him about the seating positions.Needless to say, Anna’s seat would be next to Bryan’s while Chloe’s would be beside Anna’s.Anna was like a river separating Chloe and Bryan. Resentment welled up in Chloe’s heart and it became evident in her eyes.“Anna, what would you like to eat? I’ll take some for you,” Bryan offered in a tender and compassionate tone.Anna could feel the intense jealousy exuded by the sister beside her. She smiled and said, “I’d love anything that you put on my plate.”She felt reg
Anna raised her head and glanced at Liam, who was sitting opposite to her.She could not decipher the riddles bounced around between Liam and Grandmother Dawson.“Eat more.” Liam gestured at the food on her plate.Anna held back her urge to burp. She mumbled quietly, “Didn’t you come all the way here just to eat the food from the Dawsons’ kitchen? They prepared all this food for you, but I don’t see you eating much at all.”On the other hand, she had eaten quite a substantial amount of food. Her little belly was already bulging.Liam shot a glance at Anna. “It’s enough for me to fill you up.”Anna’s cheeks grew warm. Why did his words sound so disagreeable? Moreover, it was the kind that could easily be mistaken as an inappropriate innuendo!“What are you waiting for? Eat up,” Liam commanded coldly.The corner of Anna’s lips twitched. “I can’t eat anymore! Eat by yourself.”She stood up, wanting to leave. However, Liam stopped her.“Where are you going?”“The washroom!” She
When Grandmother Dawson found Bryan in the washroom, she did not say anything. Instead, she turned away and returned to the dining hall.In the dining hall, she flashed a kind smile at Anna. “Anna, I wanted to ask you to stay for a while, but something came up that requires my attention. I might have to go out…”Anna knew that Grandmother Dawson was asking her to leave. Before she could finish, Anna quickly smiled and replied.“Grandma, I still have to complete some exercises for my foreign language class. I shall be taking my leave now.” Anna yearned to escape from Liam as soon as possible. Otherwise, that pervert might come out with some sort of plan to devour her again.Hearing that, Bryan quickly offered, “Grandma, I’ll send Anna home.”He yearned to escape from Grandmother Dawson’s reproach. He thought that he could use Anna as a shield. Unexpectedly, Grandmother Dawson opposed it.“Let Liam send Anna home. Liam, would you mind sending your student home?” Grandmother Dawson
Terrified, Anna quickly stopped James from leaving the car.“No, don’t go! What fresh air do you need! It’s not like the car is stuffy! Let’s leave right now. I want to go home.”James turned to Liam, then to Anna. In his heart, he lamented being caught in the tug of war between those two.It was a difficult position to be caught in the middle of them!One of his long legs had already stepped outside the car door. At that moment, he had no idea if he should leave or stay.“What are you thinking about?” Liam asked Anna again.He yearned to know what was in that tiny head of hers!Anna covered her face awkwardly. There was no way she would tell him she was thinking about the wild ‘exercise’ they did in the car last time. It would embarrass her to no end! She quickly composed herself and gazed at Liam with a serious face. She spoke in a deep tone.“You’re the one behind today’s incident, aren’t you?”“What incident?”“Don’t act dumb! You know more about it than me!” Anna rolled
That time, Daniel was truly enraged.Chloe had wronged Grandmother Dawson. Moreover, Daniel’s ability to control his own daughter had been insulted. It felt like a slap to the face!Chloe cried for a long time. Even so, it did not evoke a hint of sympathy in Daniel. In fact, he was growing more and more annoyed by her.Seeing that Daniel’s fury was real, Nicole did not dare to say a word either. She could only cast a worried glance at Chloe.Anna’s expression was aloof. She silently watched as Chloe bawled her eyes out. She suddenly felt like Liam deserved a thumbs up. Every move he made always dealt astronomical damage. As expected of a god!Anna returned to her room with Lisa’s help. She glanced at the black wristband on her wrist. To her surprise, there were no messages from Charles.In the end, she had no idea why that wealthy brat made her go to the Dawson family mansion.A while later, Chloe burst into her room, just as Anna had expected. Chloe pointed at her with a fierce
When Bryan noticed Anna’s arrival, he quickly took over from the waiter and personally helped Anna to the table he had reserved.“Anna, you look so beautiful today.” Bryan gazed at Anna with affectionate eyes. Anna smiled silently. Bryan was a huge liar. She did not put on any makeup and came out in her casual clothes that day, yet he could still spit out the words ‘you look so beautiful today’.The people dining beside them turned to Bryan and Anna with glances of admiration.“Quick, look! It’s the eldest daughter of the Hamilton family and the son of the Dawsons.”“I heard that Ms. Hamilton’s eyes have not healed completely yet. From the looks of it, her injury must be serious. She even needs someone to guide her.”“She can’t have turned blind, right?”“Nonsense! The Lincoln Group is so wealthy! There’s no way they would let their successor, the future CEO of their company, turn blind!”Like an elegant gentleman, Bryan cut Anna’s steak for her and even personally fed the cut
Bryan’s expression turned dark. He yearned to push Chloe away, yet he did not dare to make any large movements. He was afraid that Anna might notice something.From the beginning to the end, Bryan did not even glance at Chloe. Finally, Chloe got mad.“Bryan, do you hate me? If so, I better leave.”Bryan wanted nothing more than for Chloe to leave. “Chloe, if you’re bored, why don’t you go shopping? I can stay here and take care of Anna.“Rest assured that I will take good care of Anna. You have nothing to worry about.”“Anna! Do you hear what Bryan is saying! Are you shunning me for being the third wheel?” Chloe’s eyes turned bloodshot with rage.The moment Chloe mentioned the third wheel, Anna was reminded of Liam.Once, she had come to Maison’s for a date with Bryan too. Throughout the entire meal, Liam was the third wheel. Even so, he did not feel out of place at all. In fact, he acted as if he was the main man at the table.She subconsciously stroked the black wristband on
