Chapter 775 I Will Help Myself
It was New Year's Eve.
Anna was in the assigned hotel. She looked so listless.
The crew only worked until noon and then took the day off because everyone was going to get together for the dinner on New Year's Eve.
Anna refused their invitation to the dinner.
She wanted to stay in her room to sleep.
She said she wanted to sleep, but in fact she wanted to have a video call with Gemma at night when the New Year's bell rang. She wanted to spend the New Year with Gemma in this way to witness that Gemma was one year older.
She made many video calls to Ethan, but he did not answer.
He didn't answer her phone call either.
Calculating the time in the UK, Anna thought that he should be up. 'Why didn’t he answer the call?'
'Could there be something wrong?'
At this time, there was a knock on the door. Anna rushed to open the door.
Crossing his arms around the chest, Liam leaned
against the door. He was smiling at her.
"It's New Year's Eve. Let's celebrate it together."
"What do we have to celebrate?" Anna tried to close the door, but Liam stopped her.
"To celebrate the fourth anniversary of our divorce."
Anna rolled her eyes, "Why should we celebrate it? If you want to celebrate, you can celebrate by yourself!"
Anna slammed the door, but Liam blocked it.
"Why are you resisting me so much? I'm not going to take advantage of you."
"Who knows what the hell is going on in your head! Get out of here! The cast and crew are also in this hotel. We can’t be seen together!"
Liam laughed, not caring about it at all. "No one will see us."
"Get out!" She pushed him hard, but failed to move him.
"No one will see us."
"How can that be? They live next door to me. If they come out and see this, it would be bad."
"Don't worry. I've already changed the hotel for them."
"What?" Anna was stunned.
"In order not to let them see us in a standoff at the door, I've arranged another hotel for them."
"So what?" Anna thought this man was crazy.
"So, there is nobody else at this floor now except for u s, and even the bellhop won't come up." Liam spread his hands happily, expecting Anna to throw herself into his arms.
"Insane!"
Anna rolled her eyes at him and closed the door vigorously. Liam hurriedly stopped her.
"It is New Year's Eve. Don't put on a long face. I have a surprise for you." He said with a mysterious look.
Anna rolled her eyes again, "I want to have a rest. I want no surprise!"
'What the hell he is going to do this time ?'
The watch he gave her was so luxurious that she dared not to wear it again, for fear of being thought she was rich.
And privately, many people said that her watch was a gift from Liam, which made others gossip more about their relationship.
Anna did not want to be talked about like this, it sounded like she was Liam's inamorata.
" I promise you'll love this surprise!"
When speaking, Liam clapped his hands.
Anna did not even look at Liam, just thinking that his act was deliberately staged. Now even he could get
stars in the sky for her, she would not be moved at all.
Because she missed Gemma now.
She wanted to fly back to Gemma's side and spend the New Year with her.
"Mommy!"
A crisp call came from the corridor.
Anna jerked her head up and looked over in the direction of the voice.
James and Gemma were standing at the end of the corridor. Gemma was wearing a little pink cotton jacket. On her head, there was a beautiful crown hairpin. She was looking delightedly at Anna.
Anna thought she must have been bleary-eyed, otherwise, how could she see Gemma here!
"Mommy!"
Gemma called out to Anna again.
Only then did Anna realize that she was not dreaming.
"Gemma..."
Anna hurriedly ran to hug Gemma.
"Is it you? Is it really you? My baby... how come you're here?"
Gemma pointed to Liam, "He took me here."
Anna's eyes wet. She hugged Gemma and kissed her," My baby. I miss you so much."
"I miss Mommy too."
Seeing that Anna was very happy, Liam smiled.
"Are you satisfied with this surprise?"
With here eyes wet with tears, Anna nodded vigorously, "Yes, I am very satisfied."
Liam looked at his wristwatch and then he said," Where are we going to dine this evening?"
"Surely we'll have it at home." Anna said offhandedly. Then she realized that she was in a hotel, not her home.
Seeing the disappointment in Anna's eyes, Liam winked at James.
"Yes, sir. I'll get it ready right away."
James quickly got everything ready. Various cooking utensils and ingredients appeared in the hotle room soon.
Liam looked at Anna, "Can you cook?"
Anna had to say that she could cook, lest she would be laughed at by him that she hadn't made any progress these years.
"I can cook, but it tastes..." Anna whispered.
Liam nodded, "I am well-prepared for it."
Gemma also nodded, "I'm used to it."
Looking at the two of them, the father and the daughter, Anna found that they looked exactly the same. She rolled up her sleeves and said with determination.
"You guys are looking down on me!"
Anna put on her apron and started to cook.
When she was in a good mood, she was happy with everything she did. She was glad to be able to prepare the dinner for her beloved man and daughter on New Year's Eve like in an ordinary family, which was a dream that she had not fulfilled for many years.
Today, she finally had the opportunity to do so. Of course, Anna hoped she could do a great job.
Anna prepared a lot of dishes, but in the end, only the black-eyed beans, collard greens and cornbread could be brought to the table.
When Liam saw the burnt black-eyed beans, he almost threw the plate into the garbage.
Anna and Gemma looked him in anger and yelled, with their hands on the waists.
"We need black-eyed beans to bring us good luck next year!"
Anything can be left off the table, but not the black-eyed beans, collard greens or cornbread.
Frowning lightly, Liam put it down full of displeasure.
Seeing this, Anna's pink lips lightly raised. She reached out her hands, "It is the New Year's Eve, so you should give us gifts. If you give me a big gift, I will remove this black-eyed beans."
"Right! Gift!" Gemma stretched out her hands and looked straight at Liam.
Liam's eyes narrowed slightly. His expression was unperturbed.
"So, you two are targeting at my wallet?"
"How could you say that? It's the New Year's Eve, we need to be festive. Gifts are essential!" Anna took Gemma's hand and said loudly.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Liam directly took out two checks and placed them in front of them, "Write a number on the checks by yourself."
Anna and Gemma looked at each other in surprise.
"If that's the case, I will help myself." Holding a pen, Anna said with a bit of uncertainty.
