Chapter 796 All Over Her Body
Anna took Gemma downstairs for dinner.
As Gemma walked away, she said earnestly, "Mommy, I have prepared a very beautiful dance this time."
"The teacher taught me a lot of moves. Some of the moves that were too difficult were replaced with easy moves by the teacher, which were just right for my age." Gemma grinned and looked forward to her final contest.
At this moment, Anna felt that Gemma had really grown up.
She looked more mature than other kids at her age.
"My baby is the best. Whether you win the first prize o r not, Mommy will be proud of you."
"Mommy, the teacher said that her students must do the best and must win the first prize, and I want to win the first prize, too." Gemma followed Anna and sat at the table.
Anna looked around but didn't see Liam.
She wondered if he had come back.
She also wanted to talk to Liam.
Gemma picked up her knife and fork and clumsily sliced the steak, but all she thought of was about the
contest.
"Mommy, I'm going to win the first prize, right?"
Anna stroked Gemma's head lovingly and said," Honey, there will be some difficulties on your way to success, you should be prepared to face them."
Anna was worried that Gemma would be heartbroken i f she knew about all the questions online.
There was a bright light in Gemma's big eyes. "I want t o be like you, Mommy. You are a top student in school and can do everything the best. I'm not scared, because I have Mommy on my side."
Anna couldn't help but hug Gemma. "Honey, you are really growing up now."
"Of course, I have been one year older after the New Year. But Mommy, you are not as strong as me now."
Anna smiled and said, "Honey, you're the cleverest. Hurry up and eat."
Gemma patted her chest and said, "Of course I'm clever."
Anna really believed that.
Gemma was Liam’s daughter. How could she not be clever?
But where was Liam?
When she got off work, she found him at home. Why hadn't he come down to dinner yet?
Anna and Gemma had finished eating, but she didn't see Liam yet.
Anna asked the servant to take Gemma for a walk in the garden, then she went to the study to find Liam.
Sure enough, he was in his study, right in front of the computer, tapping the keyboard quickly with his fingers.
Anna opened the door and went in. He was still busy working without looking up.
"Don't you eat?" She asked.
"You care about me?" He still didn't look up, as if he was busy with the work at hand.
"No, I'm just curious."
Anna pulled a chair and sat down. "I want to talk to you. Is that okay?"
"No problem." He still didn't look up.
"Then you do it first." Anna stood up.
Liam finally looked up and quietly looked at Anna. " Well, what's up?"
Anna hesitated for a little bit and said in a low voice, "I don't want it to come out that Gemma is your daughter."
"What's the difference now?"
"I know it's no different. Anyone with discerning eyes knows the truth, but I still don't want you to admit it
and let everyone know."
"I don't want this to cause any more trouble at the time when Gemma is looking forward to the contest. A s you know, once you admit that Gemma is your daughter, others will say that Gemma is designated to get the first prize in this contest."
"All of Gemma's hard work and amazing performances will be ignored by others."
"I don't want to see Gemma sad."
Liam pondered a moment, then said, "I see."
In fact he had thought about it.
"There are so many kids in the contest. If the parents o f the kids hears that the first prize have been designated to Gemma, they will be upset. Who can guarantee what will happen? After all, parents love their kids very much, and no one wants their kid to be wronged."
"Don't worry. I have already hacked the posts on the Internet." Liam went on tapping the keyboard.
Anna was very curious and couldn't help but glance at his screen. She didn't realize Liam was working on programming code.
"I can't believe you can do this."
"Is that any surprise? Liam smiled and went on tapping the keyboard.
Liam was too busy to come downstairs to dinner. It turned out that he was helping Gemma hack the online posts, and he did it by himself.
His paternal love for Gemma moved Anna.
There was gratitude on Anna's fair face. "You have a hard time these days. You have really done a lot for Gemma."
"She's my daughter, so I'm willing to do it," said Liam.
The feeling of being protected moved her more than Ethan's protection of them.
She was like the duckweed without any support and finally found her reliance after having felt lonely for a long time.
At this moment, Anna thought of Ethan, the man who always gave her love and warmth of home.
In fact, Ethan was the one who was hurt the most in this matter.
After all, it hurt a man's self-esteem to be told he was a cuckold and the daddy of someone else's kid.
She didn't know how Ethan was doing recently.
Liam saw that Anna was distracted, so he wasn't happy. He said, "What are you thinking about?"
Anna recovered from a shock, and said, "Nothing."
She cleared her throat quickly and said in a clear voice, "Go ahead, then. I'm relieved you're dealing with the rumors and gossip about Gemma." This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Liam was Gemma's biological father, so it was fine for him to deal with it.
This feeling made Anna feel more comfortable than what Ethan did to Gemma.
For what Ethan had done for Gemma, she had to be grateful to Ethan. At the same time, she was more sorry for Ethan. She felt she owed Ethan even more.
But Liam was different. It was natural for him to do whatever for Gemma.
Anna wouldn't feel any psychological burden except that she felt warm.
Liam smiled at Anna and said, "I will definitely protect my daughter."
It was sweet to give his all for the woman he loved.
As long as he had the opportunity to take care of Anna and Gemma, that would be the happiest thing for him.
Liam tapped the keyboard faster with a brighter smile.
It seemed that he was happy.
Anna quietly closed the study's door and went downstairs. When she went into the kitchen, she told the servant to take the food to Liam's study. In the end, she told the servant, "Squeeze a glass of walnut juice, please."
She wanted to provide something healthy for Liam's brain.
In this way, he could deal with the gossip about Gemma more easily, so as not to overwork and damage brain cells. Otherwise, how could he keep the strongest brain in Johannes City?
The servant smiled as she prepared the walnut juice and thought how good it was that Mrs. Ackman and M r. Ackman were finally making up.
Anna also didn't forget to tell the servant, "It would be nice to give him a cup of coffee for refreshment. Remember, he doesn't like coffee with sugar.
"Yes, Mrs. Ackman." The servant replied with a smile.
Anna blushed when she heard the servant call her " Mrs. Ackman". She resisted it a little, but somehow there was a sweet warmth in her heart that was slowly spreading all over her body.
