Chapter 307 Accompany Me
Hamilton explanation?
What did that mean?
Anna wanted to ask him but he had already turned and left the deck.
She clung to the railing, and climbed down carefully, running to catch up to him.
"The words you said, what did you mean?” She was anxious.
Because everything he said made her lost and confused.
The emotions built up, turning into anxiety.
Liam stopped and looked at her out of the corners of his eyes.
"Which words?"
Anna felt defeated.
Fighting with Liam, she could feel a heart attack coming at any minute.
"Nothing! Just pretend I didn't ask!" She walked ahead angrily.
Even though she now had a clue as to the whereabouts of the bracelet, she was clearly a scapegoat. Grandma Dawson knew that too, whether her name was cleared or not, didn't seem so important anymore.
The most important point was since she knew where i t was, could she really take a step back and do nothing?
Liam caught up to her, strong arms circling her waist, pulling her to him lightly.
"You're my partner tonight. You need to walk beside m e. Not ahead, not behind, but just right beside me.
We'll move forward together.”
She instinctively reached out to push his hand away, but couldn't bear to do it.
She lifted her head and watched his stiff side profile. His gaze was as deep as the seas, bright with an intoxicating glow.
Her heart skipped a beat, the anger that was just coursing through her disappearing.
She felt his arms tightening around her, pulling the two of them even closer together, and her mood lightened.
She felt herself blushing, lowering her head.
"What are you thinking?" He whispered against her ears, voice low and raspy.
Anna lifted her head and smiled brightly, her beauty mesmerizing and intoxicating.
"I'm thinking..." She pulled her words out, purposely maintaining the suspense.
"Try and guess!"
Liam’s thin lips lifted in a smile, a flash of adoration shining in his eyes.
"What a child!” He bobbed her nose with a long finger.
"Are you satisfied with the present I gave you?" He asked.
"Present? What present?" She froze.
Liam shook his head helplessly, "Forget it, it's nothing."
"What present? Where’s the present? Why didn't I see i t?" Anna looked around her, there wasn't any sign of a present or a box on this luxurious cruise ship.
They returned to the ballroom.
The guests all smiled and addressed them politely. Their attitude was more relaxed than before, more accepting of the lady walking beside Liam.
The upper echelons of society were an exclusive group.
Anna’s story had long since spread throughout their circle.
And the rumor that Liam Ackman did not like women, had been a deep-seated rumor for years.
Now, Liam appeared with his nephew’s ex-fiance
hanging off his arm, it was obvious he was broadcasting their relationship to the world.
The unspoken rule in their circle was that, if the party involved did not personally agree for news to spread, n o one would say a word.
At this party, no one was allowed to bring their handphones or cameras. There were no CCTVs on this cruise ship either, all to protect the privacy of the rich and powerful guests.
Anna obediently stayed by Liam’s side, stealing a glance around the ballroom from time to time.
She never saw that seductive woman again.
It was obvious she knew a story or two about Liam.
Who was that 'her'?
Anna’s mind drifted a little until Liam’s voice rang in her ears.
Let s go.
"Huh? Are we leaving now?"
"Yes."
His jacket fell on her shoulders.
The guests exclaimed in admiration, "Mr. Ackman seems to be very fond of Ms. Hamilton."
Anna blushed, and asked him under her breath, "I don’t think the party is over yet, are you sure we can leave now?"
"The ending that I wanted is here," Liam held her hand in his and left the cruise ship, a group of jealous onlookers watching their every move.
The ending he wanted?
Anna cocked her head in confusion.
"What ending?” She asked curiously.
"Nothing." Liam didn't want to answer this stupid woman’s question.
Anna was even more confused, why was he angry?
But she was glad to leave that ballroom full with nothing but pretentious smiles and empty laughs.
"I haven’t been to the beach at night in a long, long time! The sea breeze is so cool!"
Anna removed her shoes, held them in her hands, and stepped on barefoot on the soft sand, the gentle glow o f the moon shining across her.
Liam followed her, watching her happy figure, an unknown emotion glimmering in his eyes.
This silly woman, even if he sold her for money, she would be counting the cash for him unknowingly.
He brought her to the cruise ship party to let the people in the upper circles know that Anna Hamilton was his woman!
In the future, when they came across her during one o f their business dealings, they would pay their
respects to him.
It was also to warn them, not to touch a single hair on her head.
He knew how dirty their circle was, better than anyone else.
She always refused to expose their relationship to the public, and yet he found a way to incorporate her into his life officially.
And she thought he brought her here to let her know the whereabouts of the bracelet, she thought he intended to use her.
He wanted to laugh at her stupidity!
Such a silly, stupid woman, if one day she left him, she would be cheated out of every single cent she owned.
Liam caught up to her and held her hand.
"You silly woman, hasn’t anyone ever told you, a woman's feet should never get cold?"
Anna blinked in surprise.
Liam heaved her up into his arms as if holding up a little chick, carrying her from the beach into the car.
He grabbed a towel and held her snow-white foot in his hand.
She was stunned, squirming instinctively.
He held her foot tightly in his palm, not allowing her t
o struggle free, and wiped the sand off her feet with the towel.
Anna looked at this unexpected gentle side of him, her heart melting into a puddle.
The high and mighty kingly Liam Ackman was wiping her feet for her!
"Don't step in the water ever again.” He ordered her.
Anna nodded obediently, her eyes misting, "My mom passed away when I was a child, no one ever told me this..."
She hurriedly forced a smile on her face, "You're a man, how do you know this?”
"Common sense!" Liam glared at her. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
Anna pouted slightly, put on her shoes, and turned to look at the vast night sea from the window of the car, and the cruise ship not far away that looked like a pearl, shining in the dark, alit with the
glow of a thousand lights.
"Are we going back now?" She was suddenly reluctant to leave.
She wanted to stay here a moment longer, with him.
Even if she was the only one who would appreciate this memory.
"You don't want to leave?" Liam raised his brows and asked her.
Anna nodded.
"Alright then, accompany me for a drink."
Liam closed his eyes and leaned back into his seat, a bundle of mixed feelings coursing through his chest.
Anna peeked at him, even though he hid his emotions perfectly, she still realized he seemed to be in a bad mood.
