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

Chapter 820 Thank You for Your Good Wishes

The person who came was none other than Tania.

She was the nurse who took care of Nina before.

Seeing Tania carrying a big box, Michael immediately stood up, quickly went towards, and took it over.

"What is this? It's such a big box."

"This is my gift for Gemma." Tania smiled innocently. She looked like a little girl in her shyness.

Seeing that she was about to receive the gift, Gemma jumped out of her chair and asked excitedly, "What is i t?"

Tania opened the box. Inside the box was an oversized pink plush doll with big eyes and a bow.

"What a beautiful doll! Thank you, Miss Yarnell." Gemma hugged the big doll and liked it very much.

Nina was in the mood at first. However, she became depressed when she saw Tania coming.

"Come on... Sit down." Anna stood up and invited Tania to join them in order not to embarrass her.

"Excuse me. I got stuck in traffic on my way here after

I picked out Gemma's gift, so I'm late." Tania apologized in a small voice.

"We're just starting dinner, so you're not late at all." Anna chose a seat far away from Nina and asked Tania to sit down.

Although Anna was surprised that someone had invited Tania to the party today, she had to be warm and welcoming to Tania since she was already here.

Instead of sitting in the seat arranged by Anna, Tania shyly sat next to Michael.

The person sitting on the other side of Michael was Nina.

Tania looked at Nina and smiled sweetly at her. "Nina." "Mmm." Nina smiled, but she felt upset in her heart. Nina didn't expect Michael to invite Tania to such a private party.

She thought, It seems that Tania is gradually entering his inner world.'

Nina suddenly lost her appetite, but she pretended to b e fine, drinking her juice robotically.

Although Michael saw the disappointed look in Nina's eyes, he pretended not to see it.

At that time, there happened to be an extra invitation, and Tania just saw it. Then she grabbed the invitation and clamored to come to the party. And she also claimed that she was a fan of Gemma.

Although Michael felt helpless, he couldn't refuse Tania, so he allowed Tania to come to the party.

Anna gently touched Nina and whispered, "Have some food. Don't be sad."

"I'm not."

"No? It's all on your face." Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Nina quickly lowered her eyes. "I'm full. Gemma, I will take you to play a game."

Gemma also finished eating, jumped out of the chair, and took Nina's hand.

Anna got up after her. "Nina?"

"You guys eat. I'll take Gemma to the garden."

Anna was worried about Nina, so she followed Nina out. "Nina, don't act like this."

Nina smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe I still need some time to figure it out completely."

"Since he brought Tania here, it means their relationship is not simple. I got it! I'm fine!" Nina tilted her head and tried to smile.

Anna let out a soft sigh.

Anna didn't know what exactly Michael was thinking on his mind. Although Michael was obviously very concerned about Nina, he would sometimes unexpectedly hurt Nina.

Anna wondered if he had a low EQ.

It was dark.

The party was over.

Gemma had a good time and didn't seem to have enough fun, so she clamored not to go home.

Ethan didn't want to upset Gemma, so he said very generously, "Anna, you stay with Gemma! I still have some business affairs to take care of at the office, so I need to get there now."

After saying that, Ethan turned around and left.

Seeing Ethan walk away, Anna wanted to go after him at first. However, she thought about it and gave up.

Jamie shot Anna a fierce glare, twisted his waist, got into his car, and drove off.

Nina excused herself too.

Michael and Tania also left.

Michael looked at the dark night and caught up with Nina. "Let me give you a ride."

Nina shook her head. "You don't have to. I've already called a taxi."

"It's not safe to take a taxi. I'd better drive you home." Michael stopped Nina, tugged Nina's arm at once, and led her towards his car.

Nina gently shook off his arm. She sounded as if she forced a smile.

"You really don't have to do this. Besides, you have to drive Tania home. Don't let her go back alone."

"Really?" Michael was still worried about Nina.

"I mean it. My taxi will be here soon. I'll stop talking to you guys." Nina put on a big smile and walked away.

Michael had mixed feelings in his mind as he watched Nina leave.

Tania tugged on her collar and said in a soft voice, "I'll trouble Dr. Hart to take me home. I'm a little afraid of the dark."

Michael silently withdrew his eyes and nodded gently.

After Michael and Tania walked away, Nina came out from the corner of the street.

At that moment, she was in tears.

She thought, 'Why does God have to play such a trick o n us? Although we fell in love with each other, we can't date. Although we love each other, we can't be together again.'

Nina covered her cheeks with her hands and cried silently.

'Maybe I'm completely screwed...'

If there were no other girls around Michael, it would b e okay. And she felt she had let him go.

However, as she watched Michael and Tania become closer, the pain she felt in her heart became more evident.

She thought, No, Nina! You can't be like this. He's your

cousin..."

Michael drove the car and gave Tania a lift home.

He also had mixed feelings at the moment.

However, he had to do so as to let Nina give up on him.

Because he couldn't let his mother do anything to hurt Nina again, he had to find a girlfriend as soon as possible to protect Nina.

That was why he acted like he was close to Tania in front of Nina.

Then he posted a few pictures of him having dinner with Tania and his family members on his Facebook wall.

Looking at those pictures, Nina felt her heart ached like a knife cutting into her heart.

She ran her fingers over Michael's picture. Finally, she sent a message to Michael.

"Congratulations."

Although she sent a smiley face emoji, she was already in tears.

She thought, 'Nina, you must give up on him this time!'

After a long time, Michael texted her back. "Thanks."

She covered her mouth, pulled the covers over her head, and tried to hold back her sobs. Her tears kept falling from her eyes.

After two minutes, Michael texted her again.

"Thank you for your good wishes. I hope you find your happiness soon too." Michael also sent a big smiley face emoji after this message.

Seeing such words, Nina felt that her heart was broken into a million pieces.

However, she still tried to pretend to be calm and indifferent. Then she sent a message to Michael.

"You don't have to worry about me. Recently, my colleague introduced me to a guy with a Ph.D. He is a good guy and attentive. The most important thing is that he is not only highly educated but also handsome. And he has feelings for me. I also think he i s pretty nice."

After sending this message, Nina sent a series of smiley emojis.

"So congratulations. Don't forget to send me a picture o f you two together. Let me see what kind of man won my sister's heart." Michael also sent a series of smiley emojis.

Both Michael and Nina used the same way to hide the pain they felt inside.

"Okay. I will stop chatting with you. I'm going to sleep."

Nina turned off her phone. Then she covered her face and choked with sobs uncontrollably.
