Chapter 15 My Little Lady

Anna was staggered.

When did she become his?

Although they had done it before, was it not simply a one-night stand? She thought they would be nothing but strangers after that night.

He even left her money.

Liam got up angrily. He pulled out the cover and laid it onto Anna’s naked body. Suppressing his lustful flames, Liam scolded her in his husky voice.

“From today onwards, I will not allow you to dress like this. In fact, no sexy outfits are allowed! I’m the only person you need to seduce in bed!”

“...”

Anna was completely speechless.

It filled her heart with rage!

Suddenly, Liam got on top of her again. He gently brushed away the messy hair on her forehead, revealing her clear forehead.

In a soft tone, he said to her, “I am the only one who can witness your beauty.”

A feeling of warmth abruptly swelled up in her heart, slowly spreading throughout her body. Gradually, her entire body loosened up.

She stared blankly at Liam’s dashing face with her big and beautiful eyes. They welled up with tears as a sudden urge to cry overcame Anna.

Liam tucked her in and gently kissed her forehead.

“Sleep well, my little lady.”

Having said that, Liam left the room, leaving Anna lying dazed on the bed. Her mind was completely blank.

She slowly lifted her hand and stroked her forehead. It was as if she could still feel Liam’s gentle kiss. Her fingers moved onto her lips, where the sweet metallic taste of his blood still lingered.

She licked her lips. The numbness in them served as a reminder of the overbearing man’s forceful yet passionate kisses.

‘That man…

‘Who is he?’

The man’s appearance at Grandmother Dawson’s birthday party proved that he was a man of high status.

‘Wasn’t he the gay man I met at the gay bar?’

Anna closed her eyes gently, indulging in the scent left behind by the man. Gradually, she fell asleep peacefully…

The dinner party was held in the Dawson family mansion’s garden.

The moment Anna stepped into the venue, Chloe came up to her.

Chloe was still dressed in her fiery red dress. She appeared as dazzling as a vibrant flower.

She looked Anna up and down. Anna had changed into a plain, white knee-length dress. Although she did not appear as sexy as she did in her off-shoulder dress, she still looked like a heavenly goddess, elegant and classy.

A hint of jealousy flashed across Chloe’s eyes. With a mocking smile, she claimed, “Anna, Bryan likes sexy ladies. He won’t like this conservative outfit of yours.”

Anna smiled but could not hide the coldness in her eyes.

“I’m just worried that the dress I wore was too pretty. I wouldn’t want to steal the spotlight from you, Chloe. You need to find your prince charming after all.”

Chloe’s expression changed. She took a deep breath, trying her best to suppress the rage in her heart. Her gaze fell onto Anna’s lips and let out a fake gasp of shock.

“Oh, my! Anna, your lips! Why do they look so swollen?”

Chloe continued, “Bryan has been busy in the garden this whole time; he wasn’t with you at all. How did that happen to your lips?”

Chloe spoke loudly, catching the attention of Daniel, who was just passing by.

Daniel was instantly vexed. He cleared his throat and asked, “Anna, what happened to your lips?”

Anna merely answered, “It’s nothing.”

Chloe put her arm through Daniel’s and said coyly, “Daddy, Anna has been acting so weird lately. She couldn’t have done something behind Bryan’s back right?”

Anna shot a cold glance at Chloe, yet Chloe’s lips curled up into a delighted smirk.

“Anna, Bryan loves you so much. You mustn’t do anything to betray him.”

Chloe intentionally emphasized the words ‘loves you’. Anna felt a thorn in her heart, aching.

“Chloe, you seem to like Bryan a lot. Too bad we’re already engaged. Otherwise, I would have let you have him. I think the two of you suit each other’s rhythm quite well.”

Chloe’s face flashed green then white.

Just then, Nicole joined in on the conversation. “Anna, you must remember, you’re already engaged. Don’t do anything scandalous.”

Chloe took the chance to add insult to injury. In a pretended cute voice, she said to Daniel, “Daddy, I’m also worried about Anna ruining our family’s reputation. I’m only asking for the sake of our family.”

Anna was secretly grinding her teeth. Her ice-cold eyes were fixed on the mother-daughter duo trying to stir up trouble.

“Anna, did you hear that? Your actions not only represent yourself but the entire Hamilton family; Not to mention, the whole of Lincoln Group. You better watch yourself,” Daniel scolded.

“I know what I’m doing,” Anna answered back coldly and walked away.

Daniel’s chest heaved with rage. “You’re crossing the line!”

Nicole whimpered, “Danny, did I say something to offend Anna? I’m only looking out for her.”

“She’s becoming more and more defiant!” Daniel’s expression was filled with fury.

Nicole sighed. “Anna’s status has changed now… Of course, she won’t listen to us anymore. When she takes over the company and officially wed into the Dawson family, I bet we can’t rely on her to provide for us.”

Daniel’s eyes turned hazy. He did not say another word.

Anna went to the refreshment table and grabbed a glass of juice, then proceeded to sit in a corner.

She scanned her surroundings, worried that she would run into the perverted gay man again.

Luckily, she did not see the man’s tall figure among the crowd.

Chloe, too, took a glass of drink and approached Anna.

“Anna, I admire your patience so much. I’ll surely work hard to learn that from you.”

Chloe was surprised that Anna did not make a fuss after she found out about her and Bryan—she thought that Anna would call off the wedding. Contrary to her belief, Anna acted as if she never found out!

Anna could clearly see through Chloe’s intend of showing off. She scoffed, not giving much of a reaction.

“Sure, we’re got time. I’ll teach you little by little.”

Just then, a tall and handsome man appeared on the stage, helping Grandmother Dawson up the stairs.

With just a glance, Anna’s heart sank.

It was him!

‘Why is he standing beside Grandma Dawson? And why is she smiling so warmly at him?’ she wondered.

‘Could he be…’

Anna inhaled sharply. The color drained from her face.
