Take Control of Yourself, Please novel (Anna and Liam)

Chapter 46 Who Are You Calling Dog!

Nina carried her plate of noodles over and asked," Anna, what’s this singing thing?"

"It's just a wristband," Anna answered in an unbothered tone. However, she could not help but break out into a smile. She quickly took out her eye drops and applied them to her eyes.

"It’s such a beautiful wristband."

"Oh, it's not pretty at all! It's all black and doesn’t look good at all."

"If you don't think it looks good, you should give it to m e. I like listening to this 'Jingle Bell’ song. It's so cheerful and instantly changes one's mood."

"I’m not going to give it to you." Anna quickly put her hands behind her. She looked as though she was worried that Nina would snatch her precious treasure.

Nina pursed her lips as she ate her noodles. "Looks like you value it a lot! It must be a gift from a guy.

Quickly tell me if you've found a new handsome beau. Are you guys dating?"

As soon as Anna thought about Liam’s rapidly changing expressions, as well as his passionate behavior in bed, she shuddered involuntarily.

If she dated Liam, her lifespan would be shortened!

"No! Not at all! Definitely not!" Anna quickly shook her head to deny it.

Nina did not seem to believe her. "You must have!

Your face has gone all red!"

Nina continued to take big mouthfuls of her noodles. Watching her eat made Anna feel hungry as well so she went to grab the other portion of noodles and joined Nina.

"That's for me. I've not had my fill." Nina rushed up to protect her food.

Anna held her plate as she ducked away from Niina," I'm still hungry. Dinner wasn't filling enough for me."

"Which high-class French restaurant did you go to? I can't believe that you're still hungry.”

"When I'm with Bryan, I have no appetite to eat." Not t o mention that a certain Liam Ackman was also there. Now that she thought about it, Anna was pretty proud of herself for being able to endure the situation back then.

"Your brain must not have been screwed on right. No matter who you're with. The main priority is to fill your stomach!” Nina took another huge bite of the noodles.

Anna looked at Nina and burst into laughter. All the unpleasant feelings from earlier had completely disappeared.

"The noodles have gone soggy. I can't believe that you're still enjoying them so much.”

"Eating is purely to fill the stomach. The taste isn't that important." Nina smiled brightly and her two adorable dimples appeared once again on her beautiful face.

At that moment, Anna’s wristband rang out once more.

"It’s time to sleep. It’s time to sleep. It's time to sleep..." The ear-piercing robotic voice rang out.

Anna rushed to the washroom to get washed up, changed into her pajamas, and lay down in bed.

Nina looked at Anna curiously. Her big, round eyes blinked several times.

"Anna?"

"Shush." Anna made a shushing gesture at Nina.

Nina was startled and did not dare to speak loudly. She lowered her voice and asked, "What’s going on? Hurry up and turn off that wristband. It's making such a racket."

"It's time to sleep. It's time to sleep. It's time to sleep...”

Anna pointed at the black wristband around her wrist and also answered in a low voice, "This is a small intelligent robot. There's no way to switch off the alarm reminding me to sleep. If I'm still moving at a certain time at night, it will continue to make a racket. It will only stop if I settle down and stop moving."

Nina clasped her hands and her eyes were filled with admiration. "That's such a thoughtful present. He must be such a warm, considerate man. Please introduce him to me. Please, so that I can get to know him and meet him.”

Anna rolled her eyes. A warm, considerate man? Liam was the exact opposite, an extremely cold unfeeling person.

Anna gently held the wristband on her wrist that was still extremely noisy. A warm feeling suddenly arose i n her heart. This wristband was receptive to sounds. Once it sensed that the surroundings had gone quiet, the alarm reminding her to sleep gradually slowed down and went quiet. It sounded just a tired lullaby.

"Anna. Anna?"

Nina saw that there was no response from Anna so she called out twice. She did not expect the wristband to suddenly speak out.

"Shoosh. She's sleeping. Don't not disturb."

Nina nearly jumped out of her skin from the shock. If i t were not for the fact that the voice coming from the wristband was a robotic voice, she would have suspected that there was a man's spirit lying beside Anna.

Nina quickly tapped her heart, "She's fallen asleep really quickly."

"Be quiet.”

Nina was so frightened that she gasped and hurried to cover her mouth. She did not dare to say

another word.

Anna was fast asleep when she was abruptly woken b y her cell phone. The sun was shining brightly in the sky and Nina was already busy studying at her desk. Anna paused for a moment before she answered her cell phone that was vibrating non-stop.

It was Daniel who called. He asked her how last night's date went and whether Anna did not return home the whole night because she had spent the night outside with Bryan.

Anna rushed to explain that she had returned to the university last night and was currently in her dorm. Daniel became a little unhappy once he heard that.

"Anna, don't take your relationship with Bryan for granted just because Madam Dawson has agreed to pick a wedding date for you! Your relationship is not secure until you're married!”

"I've thought about it the whole night. After I suggested picking a date for your wedding, Madam Dawson agreed but she didn't continue the discussion. She didn’t seem to be in a rush for the two of you to get married. I'm worried that she isn’t completely satisfied with you. Hence, you should pay more attention to Bryan for now."

Anna muttered a response then quickly hung up, using the excuse that she needed to rush to class.

Nina looked at Anna and said softly, "Why do I get the

feeling that your father is trying to sell you off? You're the successor to the Lincoln Group. There's no need for you to go through this."

Anna tossed her cell phone far away from herself and brushed her long hair. "A business marriage will determine the fortunes of a family. To put it nicely, it’s an alliance. To put it bluntly, it's merely a business transaction."

"Anna... You’re just a girl, why do you have to shoulder so much responsibility?" Nina felt her heart ache for Anna.

Anna smiled bitterly and said, "I've known since I was a girl that as the Lincoln Group successor, I need to keep the business of my mother and my grandfather going. This is my mission and my duty. I can't escape this."

"But... That would mean sacrificing your happiness for the rest of your life! Are you really going to marry Bryan?"

"Of course I won't marry him! However, I'll need Madam Dawson’s strong support to be able to take control over the Lincoln Group."

Nina clenched her fist tightly as she cheered for Anna. "You're extremely capable, Anna! Of course, nothing will be an issue for you. I support you, Anna! You go girl"

Anna chuckled and said, "Yes, let's work hard and succeed together!” RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Nina cautiously glanced at Anna’s wristband and made an odd gesture. Anna blinked curiously at her and asked, "Nina, what's wrong?”

"Your... your wristband. Who on earth gave it to you? Did you know that it has the ability to scare someone t o death at night?"

Anna looked confused. Of course, she had no idea what her wristband had done because she was asleep.

Nina told Anna about what happened last night. "Once you're asleep, I can't make a sound. Even if I sneeze, toss and turn, I’d get told off!"

Oh! Anna truly did not know that her wristband had this function.

The both of them got washed and dressed then headed to class together. Nina walked up ahead and turned around. As she walked backward, she noticed that under the sun, Anna's eyes were bright as they sparkled like a spring in autumn.

Nina smiled and said, "Anna, you look so beautiful without your glasses! This surgery was worth the money. We’ll see if Jennifer Wurst still dares to put on airs in front of you!"

Anna smiled in amusement. "Nina, you don’t have to bother about what they say about me. Even if a dog bites me, it's unseemly for me to bite back."

"Hahahaha, that’s true. That's very insightful!"

"Anna Hamilton! Who are you calling 'dog'!?"

All of a sudden, a shrill woman's voice rang out explosively next to their ears!
