Chloe’s tears pooled at the corner of her eyes.Anna was right. Even if she handed Bryan over to Chloe, Grandmother Dawson might not even allow her into their home.It would seem that the biggest problem was not Anna, but rather Grandmother Dawson.“That’s why there’s no point crying to me, Chloe,” said Anna.Nicole quickly signaled Chloe with her eye to stop her from going on, or else Daniel would be angry again.Daniel already felt on the verge of exploding as he gave Chloe a fierce glare.“Anna, you’re tired. Let me bring you back to your room.”Daniel personally helped Anna back to her room and said to her softly, “I know that you’re not feeling well inside, you can cry if you want to.”Anna shook her head and faced her father smilingly. “Dad, I’m not crying.”Daniel sighed. “Anna, I know that Chloe wronged you, but she is your sister after all. I’d hope that our family can stop arguing if that’s possible.”“I’m not biased, I just want peace and harmony in our family.”A
Bryan and Daniel were very happy to see Anna finally opening the door.“Anna, you’re finally willing to see me.” Bryan excitedly ran toward Anna.While Anna said to Daniel, “Dad, call Chloe here, the three of us will discuss this properly.”Daniel frowned and said, “Anna, you…”“Dad, since this matter is between the three of us, then it’s best if all three of us can talk it out.”Daniel awkwardly looked at Bryan as he pondered whether the situation would collapse beyond control if Chloe saw Bryan.“Anna, in the end, this is still a matter between you and Bryan. You guys can talk it out if there’s any misunderstanding, it’s best not to involve other parties.”Anna could tell that Daniel was a little biased toward Bryan and tilted her head and chuckled. “Misunderstanding? Dad, since it’s a misunderstanding, then the person involved should be here to explain clearly to eliminate the misunderstanding.”“Anna, can you not do this?” Bryan looked at Anna dejectedly with pleading eyes
Bryan and Chloe had completely changed their attitude when Anna left the restroom. That was how Anna knew that they had a proper discussion.Bryna quickly pleaded his innocence with Anna while Chloe cried and expressed her remorse. She said that it was all her own fault and that she should not have seduced Bryan deliberately.Anna quietly listened as they went on with their act. She did not say a word.“Anna, it’s really not Bryan’s fault. I was the one pestering him all the time, he’s fed up with me long ago.”“Yeah, Anna, I told you not to bring her along all the time when we hang out! Anna, you have to believe me, you’re the only one in my heart.”“Anna, it’s really just a misunderstanding! I was being too shameless for selfishly separating the both of you…” Chloe cried and wiped her tears as she snuck a glance at Bryan.“Anna, Chloe, and I really have nothing going on, we just argued the restroom. We’re truly innocent,” said Bryan.Anna chuckled. It would seem that Bryan di
Anna felt her stomach turn when she saw Bryan’s loving declaration on television.Not many in this world can stoop to such a foul level as Bryan!Anna could not believe that they went behind her back and without her permission, immediately decided her wedding date with Bryan!What was Anna in their eyes?A puppet at their mercy?Anna angrily switched off the television and tossed the remote control aside. At that moment, her phone rang. She answered the phone and she heard Jamie’s cutesy voice.“My dear, do you miss me?”Anna suddenly trembled and had goosebumps all over as she quickly moved her phone further a bit.Over on the phone, Jamie’s cutesy grumbling continued. “My dear, are you even listening?”“Yeah, yeah, I’m listening. I miss you a lot,” said Anna while rubbing her forehead.“Haha… That’s more like it, I’m glad you missed me.”A crying voice came soon after. “My dear… I need you…”Anna felt goosebumps again and rolled her eyes. “What’s wrong?”“Damn… I’m heart
Anna pretended like she could not see anything and felt her way around the door.Chloe angrily stared at Anna like she wanted to have her quartered.“What do you want!” exclaimed Chloe grouchily.Anna gently smiled. “Chloe, it’s just that I want to go out and you know how to drive so I want you to fetch me.”“You want me to fetch you again? You’re going to set me up again!” Chloe’s voice got uncontrollably louder.“Chloe, since when did I set you up?” Anna blinked her eyes innocently with a dazed look.“Stop pretending! Anna, don’t think I don’t know what kind of person you are!” Chloe was so angry that she could just pounce on Anna and rip her to pieces.“Chloe, how could you say that? I never hurt you. I want to go to the Dawson residence to visit Grandma and since I thought that you were stuck at home for so many days already so I wanted to take you out for a break.”Nicole quickly grabbed Chloe and nodded her head repeatedly. She whispered to Chloe’s ear. “If she lets you
Anna lay on the bed and closed her eyes.Chloe stood beside the bed as she stared at her with a fierce gaze.“Anna, what kind of trick are you trying to play?” Chloe’s heart was worried, but she could not tell what Anna was trying to do.“Are you using me to seem like a good person? Then you’ve succeeded! Now, Grandmother Dawson is convinced and she likes you! You’re generous, reasonable, and considerate!” Chloe said.She continued, “The only wicked person is me! Grandmother Dawson already hates me to the bone!”Anna’s eyes were closed, she did not speak a word.“Anna, what’s the meaning of this!?” Chloe yelled.Anna lightly moved her long and curly eyelashes and softly said, “I’m very tired, I would like to rest, don’t disturb me! Just leave for now.”Anna turned over and had her back toward Chloe.She gave Chloe an opportunity but she still has time to yammer here, does this woman not have a brain!Putting her hopes on this person who is outwardly strong but inwardly weak m
“You’re pregnant!?”Bryan’s face went pale with shock.“Impossible!”“You’ve always been on the pill, how could you be pregnant!”Bryan lost control and shouted, “You b*tch, don’t lie to us about this kind of thing.”Chloe was teary-eyed and she shook her head incessantly. “Bryan, why would I lie to you about a child!”“It’s true! I’m pregnant with your child!”Chloe knelt on the floor and crawled toward Grandmother Dawson. “Grandma, I’m really pregnant, you have to believe me…”Grandmother Dawson’s muddy eyes radiated a terrifying light as she stared directly at Chloe’s pitiful face.Chloe’s breathing froze, the way Grandmother Dawson looked at her made her soul tremble.She told herself not to be scared! She must hold on as this was her only hope!“Grandma… I’m really pregnant with Bryan’s child…”“There’s truly nothing despicable that you wouldn’t do!” exclaimed Grandmother Dawson coldly.“Grandma, I didn’t… I know you’re angry at me because it’s all my fault. It’s fine
“What!? Little Annie, have you lost your mind! You actually created an opportunity for them!”Jamie had his coat on and was in the middle of yawning when he immediately became wide awake. He pointed at Anna’s head and scolded her.“I’ve never seen you so dumb! That horrible couple already climbed on top of your head and took a dump and yet you still helped them meet up. Do you want them to team up against you?”Anna laughed as she pushed away Jamie’s finger. She sat on the stool by the bar and made fun of Jamie.“Your business here has been sluggish recently, even the bar is dusty.”“Don’t change the subject! Did you knock your head!”“No, it’s just that…” Anna scratched her head and laughed again. “I feel bad seeing those two lovers not being able to be together. After all, we know each other so I help where I can.”“Stop acting like a saint!” Jamie was so angry that he jumped.Anna covered her ear to hold back Jamie’s ear-piercing voice. “Isn’t it great if Chloe can marry Bry
