Chapter 100 Don't You Dare Cause Another Mishap
Anna was starting to miss Liam.
Liam always appeared when she needed him the most. When she thought about that, she could not help but smile.
Bryan misunderstood that her smile was meant for the words he said. He thought that she was moved by his 'in my eyes, you're just a little lady’. Overjoyed, he went ahead and washed her hands for her.
His heart tingled as he kneaded Anna's smooth and fair hands. He felt as if a feather was tickling his heart. His heart turned a little frisky and his mind was racing. A certain part of him reacted and his gaze gradually shifted onto Anna's breasts...
He swallowed hard. His body was starting to heat up.
Anna, that little lady, had become more and more sultry. He could not help but yearn for her.
Anna snapped out of her daze. From the mirror, she saw Bryan, who was a whole head taller than her, staring at her breasts. Naturally, she was very annoyed.
'This scum!'
Suddenly, Anna slipped and fell toward Bryan. Her elbow rammed straight into his erect shaft.
Bryan widened his eyes and grunted softly in pain.
His handsome face twitched all over.
"Bryan?" Anna reached out her hands to search for him. "I'm sorry. I slipped. Did I hit you?"
"N-no.” Bryan endured it. Cold sweat filled his forehead. "Anna... Are you alright... Did you twist your ankle?”
Anna shook her head. "I’m fine. Let's go have dinner."
Chloe saw Bryan silently squirming in pain, then saw the faint smile on Anna's face. Her cheat heaved with
rage.
"Bryan, let me help Anna," Before anyone can oppose, Chloe took Anna from Bryan's arms.
Bryan let go of Anna and took many deep breaths before the agonizing pain could subside.
'Goddammit, Anna! You hit so hard! Do you want to be widowed?'
"Bryan, you should hurry up too. Daddy and Mommy are waiting for you." Chloe glanced back and smiled at Bryan. In her heart, she resented him.
'How dare he steal glances at Anna while I was right there!'
Chloe turned to Anna. She was still held suspicion toward her blindness.
As Chloe was helping Anna to the dining room, she deliberately did not remind her about the step. She watched as Anna tripped down the step.
Anna yelped. Luckily, she managed to hold on tight to Chloe and did not fall.
"Anna, are you okay?” Chloe asked, pretending to be concerned.
"My leg... It hurts... I think I sprained my ankle...” Anna furrowed her brows in pain.
Daniel noticed this and quickly rushed over. He fumed, "Chloe, what did you do! How can you be so careless!"
"Daddy... I'm sorry. It wasn't on purpose." Chloe's eyes instantly flashed red. She turned to Daniel with shocked and woeful eyes.
She was not Daniel’s biological daughter, but in all those years, Daniel still loved and pampered her. He had never yelled at her before.
'What’s wrong with Daddy today?
'Why is he so concerned about Anna?' On the contrary, his gaze at Chloe was unusually complex. It made her quite anxious.
"Dad, Chloe didn't do it on purpose. Please don’t blame her." Anna hurriedly came to Chloe's defense.
Daniel turned to Chloe. "Next time, be more careful when you’re taking care of your sister! Don’t you dare cause another mishap!"
Chloe nodded her head timidly and mumbled, "I understand, Daddy. Please don't be mad. I made a mistake..." “Anna, are you sure you’re not hurt?” Daniel looked Anna up and down with concern.
Anna shook her head gently.
"Good.” Daniel helped Anna to the dining room himself.
From the corner of her eyes, Anna saw that Chloe was almost tearing up from anger. A vague smile could be seen on Anna's lips, but in her heart, she was overjoyed.
'Chloe Hamilton, you almost blinded me. Do you think Dad's protection is enough of a payback?'
Anna had thought about a lot of things while she was i n the hospital.
Liam told her to face catastrophe with a calm attitude, but she would rather be thrown into mortal danger and be forced to survive.
In this household, Daniel was the one with ultimate power. The only way she can get some breathing room was to first win over Daniel.
After all, he was still her biological father. No matter how distant they had grown in the past few years, she was still his flesh and blood. If she wanted Nicole and Chloe to never lay their fingers on her again, she could only rely on her father at home. 1
Thus, Anna held on tight to her father's rough hand and smiled in his direction.
"Thanks, Dad. I'm sorry to have troubled you." "Nonsense. You're my daughter.” Daniel smiled as he helped Anna to her chair. He even ordered a maid to bring a pillow for her back.
Nicole and Chloe's eyes reddened with envy when they saw how Daniel pampered her.
Even so, Anna could not feel a hint of familial warmth. On the contrary, her heart felt barren.
She knew that her father would not treat her this way i f she had decided to not take over Lincoln Group.
In the end, their familial bond could not defeat the temptation of profit!
At the dining table, Bryan sat beside Anna while Chloe sat across from him.
Nicole was very thoughtful toward Bryan and kept putting more food on his plate.
"Bryan, these are all just some basic dishes we eat at home. I’m not sure what kind of food you like either. Come, try some of my cooking.”
Nicole saw Bryan as her future son-in-law, so naturally, she would try to flatter him.
Meanwhile, Bryan was busy putting food onto Anna's plate. "I like anything that Anna likes.”
Chloe saw that there was so much warmth in Bryan’s eyes that he could melt Anna away with his gaze. Her heart clenched with fury.
Anna had a faint smile on her face. Her vacant eyes gazed straight into the distance, yet at the same time, she was staring at Chloe's rage-filled expression.
In a calm tone, Anna said, "If Bryan likes it, I like it too."
As expected, Chloe’s hands trembled with rage.
Anna's grin gradually grew wider. "Bryan, I want some water. Can you feed some to me?"
"Okay. Be careful.” Bryan quickly poured her a cup of water and brought the straw to her lips.
Daniel nodded his head contentedly when he saw their lovey-dovey act. "Haha... Bryan, I'm so thankful that Anna could meet such a gentle and thoughtful man like you." Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Bryan quickly took Anna's hand. She wanted to pull away, but it only made him squeeze even tighter. "Mr. Hamilton, Anna may not be able to see for now, but I love her and I will stay by her side forever. I'll never leave her."
Daniel way beaming with joy. "Bryan, your words have washed away all my worries."
Chloe clutched onto her cutlery. Her knuckles were turning white as if she were about to break them in half.
Chloe could not help but feel threatened when she saw how affectionate Bryan was toward Anna.
Ever since Anna shed her glasses and put on that dress, Bryan seemed to have started feeling a little lukewarm toward her. Although Bryan made it clear that it was all an act to help him become the head of the Dawson family, Chloe still felt like Anna was slowly taking over Bryan's heart.
Chloe would never let Anna steal her man.
'Bryan Dawson belongs to me, Chloe Hamilton!'
Chloe stood up abruptly and poured a glass of wine." Bryan, a toast to you!"
