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
Chloe rushed toward Bryan and hugged him.“Bryan, don’t leave me! I love you... I wouldn’t be able to live without you, Bryan!” Chloe’s tears soaked the silk shirt Bryan wore, she was choked up and her soft voice made it hard not to feel affectionate toward her. Bryan felt a little soft-hearted but it was only for a fleeting moment.“Chloe, I’ve said this before, you have to pull yourself together. Do you know the consequences now that Grandma knows about this?” Chloe shook her head incessantly. “Bryan, all I know is that I love you and I can’t leave you! You’re everything to me, there’s really no way for me to live without you...” “Bryan, I’ll follow everything you say, but you mustn’t leave me!”“No matter how long you wait for me, I’ll wait. As long as you won’t leave me...” said Chloe as she cried.Bryan slowly turned around as he wanted to wipe the tears off Chloe’s face. However, she immediately lunged forward and kissed him. Bryan was taken aback, he then hugged Ch
Anna was a little confused. What was Charles talking about?What gift? What did he mean by my “little lady”? What was I supposed to be satisfied with?His tone and the way he used the word “little lady”, why did it sound like Liam?However, would Liam be so bored as to create a WhatsApp account and contact her occasionally? He even spent a lot of money for her in the group chat.She felt that Liam would not have the free time to do such things, nor the energy to put in such effort to make her happy.Although Anna disliked Charles for appearing and disappearing out of nowhere, the lucky draws he hosted in the group chat managed to stop her schoolmates from gossiping about her. As the saying goes, there was no such thing as a free lunch. There was also that time when people were gossipping about her in the group chat and Charles wanted to report them as accomplices to a scam. That completely shocked all the students in the school.Daniel gave Chloe a call after he brought Ann
Chloe had just arrived home when she heard Daniel yell. “Chloe, get over here!”Chloe was completely stiff as she hastily looked toward Nicole who winked at her. She felt her heart drop as her legs started to tremble.Chloe cautiously walked closer and saw Daniel standing in the living room with a sullen look on his face.“Daddy…”“Don’t call me Daddy, I don’t have a daughter like you!”Chloe’s eyes suddenly turned red and her voice was choked up as she spoke softly. “Daddy… What did I do? How could you say something like that…”“What’s going on between you and Bryan!” growled Daniel furiously.Chloe’s body trembled all over as she looked toward Nicole for help.Nicole quickly chimed in, “Danny, please calm down, you’ll frighten Chloe like this...”“Frighten her? I think she has a lot of guts! Didn’t it occur to you to be afraid when you had a tryst with your sister’s fiance in the restroom! It turns out that I was the one frightened by him instead!”Daniel grabbed a cup an
When Anna followed Daniel home, she knew a storm was brewing. Daniel ordered her to return to her room the moment they arrived and she was not allowed to come out.Anna knew that Daniel wanted to hide the situation from her.Daniel thought that Anna was blind and unable to see what had happened back then. He also thought that she could not see the picture of Bryan and Chloe hugging in the newspaper. As long as he restricted her freedom and forbade anyone around her from speaking about this matter, he would be able to conceal the entire situation.Was Anna supposed to be happy that she managed to fool Daniel into thinking that she was blind, or should she be sad that he was treating her like a fool?Liam was right; everyone was smart while Anna was the most foolish one!Daniel gently pushed open the door to Anna’s room. He thought he was subtle enough that she would not notice.Anna sat facing the window, and she saw Daniel’s reflection the moment he entered the room.Daniel di
Chloe ran back to her room and cried bitterly while Nicole anxiously paced back and forth.“What’s the use of crying now!”“But what do we do now? I was genuinely set up!” Chloe’s face was full of tears as she threw the pillow in her arms. She imagined the pillow as Anna and she wanted to rip it to shreds. “I know you’ve been set up but your father doesn’t believe that. Besides, what can we do without any evidence!”“So I’ll just have to accept it? I refuse to let this go.”“Even if you refuse to, you still have to! At this moment, Anna is the victim here in everyone’s eyes and you’re the greatest villain!”Chloe went mad with anger, her long hair was stuck messily onto the tears on her face. “Anna is so cruel! She actually thought of such an act to deal with me! Mommy…”Chloe lunged toward Nicole and tugged on her as she looked at her imploringly. “Mommy, quickly think of a solution for me, I can’t go down like this! Now Bryan really wants to cut off contact with me, I’m finis
Anna felt her heart ache a little.At first, she still felt some sadness within her, but all of it was instantly shattered by Liam’s words and turned into anger which went straight to her head.Anna stood up from the riverside and resisted the urge to beat him. She faced the glow of the setting sun as she stared at Liam’s well-defined handsome face and said angrily.“Liam, am I merely that type of woman in your eyes?”“Which type of woman are you?” He lightly furrowed his eyebrows, his question left Anna speechless.Anna did not know what type of woman she was either. However, was it not clear to Liam what type of woman she was in his eyes?Anna wiped the tear off the corner of her eye and stared at him.With his back toward the light, the red glow of the sunset seemed to surround the outline of his tall and well-built body with a golden light, it was extraordinarily dazzling. However, his handsome face was hidden by the shadow, it was hard to make out the emotions on his face.
