Chapter 299 Loneliness is...


    Anna returned home.


    Chloe and Nicole were being careful.


    Anna did not say anything. She wanted to see what the two of them would do next.


    Chloe''s eyes were filled with hatred when she looked a t Anna. She wanted to kill her so badly.


    Anna intentionally raised her eyes to meet Chloe''s. She was fearless and even nonchntly smiled


    at Chloe.


    "Chloe, you seem to be in a bad mood for losing the bracelet.” Anna was being sarcastic and she


    knew it.


    Both Anna and Chloe were clear about what happened to the bracelet.


    Chloe did not bother to pretend in front of Anna. She caressed her stomach and said sweetly, "The


    baby in my belly is my trump card."


    Chloe was referring to the incident where grandma did not ask to investigate deeper after knowing


    who lost the bracelet.


    It did not matter who grandma liked more. In the end, Anna still had to take the me.


    Annaughed, "There is only a limited amount of luck for everyone. Save some luck for your future.


    If not,


    you won''t be so lucky next time."


    Chloe was pissed but her mother held her back.


    "Chloe, there are many ways to protect your position. But if you want to step on someone else to


    reach your goal, make sure you have the capability! People who only know how to y dirty tricks


    will not go far in life."


    Anna went up the stairs. She smiled like a blossoming flower when she walked past Chloe.


    "I will be your bridesmaid and support you securely when you walk down the aisle."


    Anna was observing Nicole’s reaction. Nicole did not try to protect Chloe, unlike her usual self.


    It seemed like Nicole knew about the missing bracelet too.


    "Alright, it''s gettingte now. Let’s all get some rest." Nicole was holding and reassuring Chloe.


    Since Nicole stopped her from saying anything, Chloe contained her anger and went back into the


    room with her mother.


    "Stop making a fuss about the bracelet. Things will get worse if your dad found out," said Nicole.


    "I''m just pissed with Anna!" Chloe said angrily.


    "Chloe, grandma already knew you hid the bracelet. Are we still selling it?" Nicole was restless.


    Chloe caressed her stomach and said "Mum, it''s fine.


    Grandma won''t say anything as long as I still have this baby."


    "Let''s get the money and settle things with Bruce first!"


    "But this is still the Dawson''s heirloom... Although it''s worth a lot of money, I don''t feel confident


    about the n." Nicole was unsure.


    "Mum! I put on a show so we could make grandma believe that she lost the bracelet and we could


    sell it for money."


    "Let me think, let me think." Nicole walked in circles anxiously.


    "Mum, there isn''t much time left from the deadline he set..."


    Anna was lying on her bed but she couldn''t sleep.


    Recently, Liam did not contact her even once.


    He promised to give her time off, and he kept the promise!


    She wasn''t used to this...


    She found his number and hesitated on whether to dial it. Unintentionally, she pressed the dial


    button but she quickly ended the call.


    She put a palm to her chest and took several deep breaths to calm herself down.


    Then, Liam''s call came in.


    Anna was so shocked she nearly threw the phone. She took several deep breaths and slowly


    pressed the answer button.


    She pretended that she was only woken up by the sound of the phone ringing and askedzily,


    "Hello, who''s calling?"


    From the other side came Liam’s unique sexy voice.


    "You were the one who called me just now."


    Anna was panicked, but she maintained herzy and rxed tone, "What? Did I?"


    "When? Why didn''t I know about this?"


    To make sure her acting was believable, she even faked a few yawns.


    "Oh?" Liam raised his voice, "Perhaps you called me in your dreams?"


    "Maybe!" Anna regretted it the moment she said that.


    Her face blushed and her heartbeat was getting faster.


    "Haha, so you admit that you miss me?" Liam chuckled.


    "No... I didn’t.” Anna murmured.


    "Two more days," Liam said.


    "What''s in two days?" Anna was stunned.


    "Two more days till youe to Ackman Skyhigh Group."


    Anna just realized that she would start working in Ackman Skyhigh Group in two days.


    Initially, sheined about not having enough time to rest, now she felt that two days were too


    long.


    How she wished to see him now.


    Liam did not hear any response from Anna after some time, "Are you asleep?"


    "Nope." she quickly responded.


    "Why didn''t you say anything?" he asked.


    "Because..."


    "Because what?"


    "No... Nothing!" she quickly shook her head.


    "Why haven’t you slept yet? It’s sote now." Anna asked.


    "Got woken up by your call."


    "You were awake before I called you. I remember you have difficulty sleeping, right?" Anna blinked


    her big eyes.


    "If you apany me then I will have no difficulty sleeping," Liam said.


    Anna twitched her lips. "Then I think it''s better if you have insomnia."


    "What a wicked curse," Liam said, traces of affection apparent in his voice.


    Anna was lost in his voice.


    She turned around on her bed and said quietly to the phone...


    "Liam Ackman, I like you."


    Her face turned red and she could feel her body and heart-melting the moment she said those


    words.


    Liam didn''t hear what she said. He only heard some panting sounds and his name, like an invitation


    to spend the night together.


    "Are you lonely?" Liam asked directly.


    Anna was annoyed and pouted. The romantic atmosphere was ruined by him.


    "What''s loneliness? I don’t know.”


    "Loneliness is..." Liam thought for a while, his voice became soft, "When you don’t like sleeping


    alone on a bed."


    His voice, as gentle as a feather, brushed her heart lightly.


    She felt herself melting, then she shouted at the phone.


    "Loneliness is when you lie on the bed, thinking about things that you can''t do alone!"


    Anna hung up the phone angrily.


    Damn it!


    Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org.


    She shouldn''t be thinking about that evil Liam!


    After that call, she found herself more ufortable and uneasy.


    She rolled on the bed several times, still sleep evaded her.


    Anna’s phone rang again.


    It was Liam.


    She did not want to pick up the call, but the phone kept ringing.


    Knowing that Liam would not say anything good, she hung up the call and threw the phone aside.


    Suddenly, several loud honks outside her window broke the silence of the night.


    Anna shuddered and climbed up from her bed. She took a peek through the window...


    It was Liam!


    He was outside the Hamilton vi now!


    What was he doing here in the middle of the night?


    Their rtionship would be found out if anyone saw them, especially Chloe who was still suspicious


    of them.


    Anna’s face became pale. She quickly put on some clothes and ran outside...
