Chapter 11 He’s Gay
Grandmother Dawson gazed at Anna with kind eyes.
"Yes, yes. Good girl. Anna, you look gorgeous! Come, sit beside me. Let me take a good look at
you."
Anna quickly let go of Bryan''s arm and took her seat beside Grandmother Dawson elegantly. She
lovingly took Grandmother Dawson''s arm.
"Grandma, I’m so sorry for arrivingte," Anna apologized in a soft tone. Her beautiful eyes
glistened i n the light.
Overjoyed, Grandmother Dawson grinned from ear to ear. "Anna, I''m delighted to see you looking
so lovely! It’s a wonderful change.”

Grandmother Dawson extended her hand and gently stroked Anna''s. Suddenly, tears began to well
up in her eyes.
"Anna, your mother left us at such a young age. Every time I look at you, I’m reminded of her..."
Grandmother Dawson''s voice choked up.
A hint of sorrow appeared in Anna''s beautiful eyes. Even so, she smiled and dabbed the tears off
the corner of Grandmother Dawson''s eyes with a tissue.
"Don''t be sad, Grandma. It''s your birthday.”
Grandmother Dawson held Anna''s hand and smiled at her warmly. "Anna, you''re both beautiful and
caring.
I''m loving you more and more each day."
Just then, Nicole finally snapped out of her trance. She quickly came up to both of them.
"Oh, my... Anna, you look incredible today! You''ve had everyone in awe the moment you arrived."
The other guests began to grow rowdy again. "The Hamilton family has such good fortune-their
younger daughter is already a stunner, who would have expected their elder daughter to be even
more beguiling! What a perfect couple she makes with the Dawson''s boy!"
Chloe''s face was green with envy. She stared at Anna, who was being ced on a high pedestal.
Her eyes filled with hatred and envy.
Another guest agreed to thement. "Indeed!
They''re like a match made in heaven."
"Grandmother Dawson is so lucky! Not only does she have an outstanding grandson, but also a
beautiful granddaughter-inw from a distinguished family."
Grandmother Dawson turned to Anna with an expression of satisfaction. She smiled and told Bryan,
" Bryan, you must take care of Anna to the best of your abilities. Don''t you dare bully her. I can''t wait
to have a great-grandchild!"
Bryan rubbed his nose then quickly replied, "Grandma, I love Anna so much. Why would I ever bully
her?
After we get married, I assure you that you’ll have a great-grandson very soon."
Thrilled, Grandmother Dawson nodded her head again and again.
Meanwhile, Nicole''s smile turned stiff. Hints of her jealousy leaked into her tone of voice.
"Grandma Dawson, don''t worry about that. Anna hasn''t been home these few days. I’m sure she
was with Bryan. I believe you''ll have a great-grandson in just a matter of months!"
Chloe red at Anna with eyes as sharp as knives. In a low voice, shemented, "Mommy, if
Anna was with Bryan, why did he call ourndline so many times looking for Anna?"
Nicole tugged at Chloe''s clothes, hinting at her to shut up. Hurriedly, she exined, "Anna is a very
conservative girl-she would never simply spend the night in unfamiliar ces. I''m sure she must
have stayed at her schoolmate''s house those few days."
Chloe pouted and mumbled, "Anna doesn’t seem to have any friends. Which ssmate''s house
could she have stayed in?"
Grandmother Dawson’s eyes were fixed on the motherdaughter duo. She could clearly see that they
were intentionally trying to put Anna on the spot.
The mother-daughter duo’s words had aroused some suspicion among the guests.
Since Anna was the future daughter-inw of the Dawson family, the fact that she had not returned
home for days would bring shame upon the Dawson family too.
Grandmother Dawson turned to Anna and inquired softly, "Anna, where were you these few days?”
Grandmother Dawson had to clear this up in front of all the guests. Otherwise, unwanted rumors
might start to spread, tarnishing the name of both families.
Anna looked up, her beautiful eyes glistening. She smiled and answered, "I had LASIK surgery
recently, s o I was staying in the hospital. I left my phone with the nurses, so I didn’t get the calls. So
sorry for worrying you, Bryan.”
Bryan asked hastily, "Anna, why didn''t you tell me about your surgery? I could have looked after you
at the hospital..."
Before he could finish, Grandmother Dawson interrupted, "Alright, alright. That’s enough. Now that
we''ve cleared things up, there’s no need to talk about this anymore. After all, I know our little Anna
well.”
Grandmother Dawson shot a nce at Nicole.
Although her gaze was not particrly intense, Nicole still felt a chill down her spine. She did not
dare to utter another word.
After that, Grandmother Dawson smiled and made an announcement to the crowd. "Tonight, I’d like
to introduce a special guest to all of you. This mysterious man rarely shows up for any parties and
had never shown his face in the media before."
Discussions broke out among the crowd.
"Never shown his face in the media before? Could it be that Grandma Dawson''s nephew, Liam
Ackman, is back?"
"That''s possible! I heard that he arrived in the country just a few days ago. He must have came
back for Grandma Dawson’s birthday party!"
When thedies present heard the name Liam Ackman, their eyes sparkled with anticipation.
"The son of the billionaire Ackman family? He’s attending this party?”
"I heard that he''s known for being an emotionless iceberg. It’s rumored that even from ten meters
away, one can feel his uninviting aura."
"Oh, dear! I must go fix my makeup!"
"Even if you look like a goddess, the Ackman prince wouldn’t bat an eye at you.”
"Liam Ackman is gay! He had no interest in women."
"I heard that someone got a photograph of him entering a gay bar two days ago. Apparently, he
spent the night there!"
Thedies’ hearts were shattered. They had no choice but to believe that the rich and handsome
man, who never showed an ounce of interest in women and even frequented gay bars, was a gay
man.
