Chapter 840 The Woman Got Drunk
Liam knew what Anna was up to. She intended to run away again.
"Wipe it carefully! If the wound gets infected, you have to stick around and nurse me for the rest of my life."
Anna rolled her eyes. "Who's going to nurse you for the rest of your life? I'm not your maid!"
Liam laughed. He turned around and Anna instantly ducked back. She didn't notice the small stool at her feet at all and tripped over it.
"Ahh..."
With a light scream, Anna fell backward. Liam grabbed her by the wrist and with a slight push, he pulled Anna into his arms.
"Are you so desperate to throw yourself at me?"
"What crap are you talking about?" Anna's delicate pink face blushed. Falling into Liam's arms, she struggled uneasily.
Liam held the little woman tightly in his arms. Watching the shy and naive look on her face, he felt inflamed in his heart.
His burning eyes fell on her scarlet lips. He pursed his thin lips and moved towards hers...
Anna struggled to get up, but her slender arms were firmly clutched by Liam.
"Just one kiss." Liam's cool tone carried a hint of expectation and tyranny.
But Anna sneered coldly and lifted her leg towards the midsection of Liam's legs and kicked mercilessly at him. "You jerk! Shame on you!"
However, Liam dodged it agilely and she hit right on his knee.
"You bold woman! How dare you kick me?" Liam squinted his narrow eyes, and there was a hint of teasing in his tone.
"It serves you right! You take advantage of me!"
"I'm showing my affection for you! Since you're not grateful at all, you'll just have to stay here and reflect o n yourself quietly."
Liam stood up nonchalantly. He instructed the maid waiting at the door.
"Let me go home!" Looking at Liam, who was elegantly changing into his pajamas, Anna rolled her eyes behind his back.
But Liam acted as if he didn't hear her. He stood gracefully in front of the mirror, unbuttoning his clothes slowly.
Anna deliberately made a fuss for a short while. But she found that it didn't work, so she gave up
helplessly.
"Fine! You win! I may jump out of the window as well!"
"If you're not afraid of getting crippled, be my guest! Even if you jump down, there's no car to take you home."
"Liam!"
"Anna, I said I will be waiting for you. But I can't let you get out of my sight!"
"But if you don't let me leave, how am I going to settle things with Ethan!"

"Damn it!" Anna gritted her teeth.
"I have to go home, Gemma will be worried about me."
"I can take Gemma here!"
"She's taking a nap at this hour!"
"Since she's taking a nap, you can stay here. There's n o need to worry about her."
"You!"
What a shrewd man, just like a wolf! He set up traps and snares all around.
"What do you say? Have you ever seen such a shameless man?"
The next day, Anna went to the Predicament Bar. She complained to Nina and Jamie about what happened yesterday afternoon.
"I think Mr. Ackman is very masculine." Leaning her back on the bar, Nina smirked.
"What's masculine about that? He's just unreasonable! Disgusting man!" Anna got a bit drunk. Putting down her glass, she slapped her palm fiercely against the bar table.
Jamie tapped on Anna's forehead bluntly with his orchid finger. "You're really drunk? Why do you keep talking about that heartless man!"
"Because he's annoying! I want to scold him." Anna's cheeks were red from drinking. Sitting in the high chair, she was wobbling.
Jamie crossed his arms around his chest angrily and rolled his eyes coquettishly. "Why don't you say something nice about Ethan?"
Anna was stunned for a moment. She smiled bitterly," Ethan is too good. There are no faults about him. He's perfect!"
But they were getting a divorce.
Because it was the weekend, they had made an appointment to go to the Civil Hall on Monday.
"It's just because he's too kind, so you defined him as a nice man." Jamie protested bitterly.
By this time, Anna was so drunk that she was dizzy. She couldn't suppress what was in her heart.
"Maybe that's true! It's because he's so damn good that I always feel something is missing."
"But don't you feel something is also missing when you are with Liam?" Watching Anna reach for her glass, Jamie pushed it toward her indulgently.
Anna grabbed the glass and gulped a drink. "I feel something is missing, too. He owes me an apology. He owes Gemma an apology... He said he owed Winnie a lot, but he owes me a lot too..."
"Didn't he already give you an apology at the press conference?" Nina asked. Her voice had a slight hint o f shiver.
Jamie saw a tall, upright figure, so he deliberately raised his voice and said, "He owes you so much, but still you gave him the opportunity. I'm really impressed with you! Is Ethan not good enough? To make you choose your own happiness, he moved out without saying a word. But then he feared something might happen when you and Gemma were alone at home. He always went to your house at night to check on you!"
Anna laughed bitterly and shook her head, "So what d o you think I should do? I can't afford to hurt him! But ... oops, forget it! Forget it! I came here to drink, not to buy sorrow for myself!"
Behind her, a thin, upright figure was walking closer gradually.
The perfect lines on that handsome face carried a natural domineering superiority.
Anna was not aware that someone was approaching. She was still drinking her wine with a big grin on her face. "Let me tell you! I've been really stressed lately, s o I'm getting out and letting off some steam! You guys have to let me spill my guts or I'll go crazy."
Anna was like talking to herself. After she said that, she started giggling.
Nina passed a watchful look at Anna. She deliberately cleared her throat and made a cough.
But Anna grabbed Jamie's arm and laughed at Nina recklessly, "I'm just complaining about Liam. What is she doing with her eyes looking at me like that?"
Anna is wobbly from her drink. She complained, gesticulating with her hands in the air, "Liam is really annoying. He's got a bad temper! He won't allow anyone to disobey him! And you can never reason with him!"
She had no idea that the man behind her had a horrible look on his face and that the air around him was freezing.
Nina was just about to reach out to pat Anna, but the man stopped her.
"Let her speak." The cold voice was so low that only Nina could hear it.
Nina covered her face and bowed her head nervously. She mumbled in her heart, "Anna, watch out for
yourself!"
Anna was so drunk that she was completely unaware of what was going on around. She continued to gesticulate and shout, "Come on! Drink with me."
She slapped one hand on the bar and turned around wobbly. She said with a smirk on her face, "Hey, why d o I feel I have seen Liam?" No, it's impossible! How can such a slim figure be Liam?"
Just then, Liam's face was purple with rage. He just stared at Anna in silence.
Anna clapped one hand on Liam's body. She smiled and her eyes curved into crescents.
"Jamie, when did you put a sculpture here? It freaked me out there. But it reminds me of something."
