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

Chapter 633 Gemma Clutched Her Fists

"Mr. Ackman, Ms. Gemma looks young, but she knows a lot. You must treat her in a subtle way and not arouse her resistance against you."

Liam threw a chill gaze at James. "I know! Get out of here! I don't need you here to teach me!"

"Yes. I'll leave right now..."

James got out of the room in haste.

Slowly, Liam stood up and looked down at Gemma who was crying and making a mess on the bed.

Liam strived to soften his voice, "Do you really want to keep on crying like this?"

Gemma was stunned by the abrupt question. She stopped crying and looked up at Liam as if she was looking at a monster. "You kidnapped me and took me here. Surely I have to cry and I will keep on crying until you send me back home."

Slowly Liam hooked up his pale lips, then he chuckled, "Tell me then how Ethan usually treats you. Maybe I can do as he does?"

Gemma was stunned again.

Seeing the potato chips beside her hand, Gemma couldn't help but put one in her mouth, and she

chewed with relish.

To be honest, she had been hungry for a long time.

Liam laughed lightly and gently pinched Gemma's cheek with his slim fingers. A hint of doting affection was in his cool tone. "What else do you like to eat?"

"Hmph!" Gemma turned her head away haughtily, avoiding Liam's fingers.

"As long as you behave, take your food and stop crying, I have many fun games. Do you want to play with me?"

Gemma was a little intrigued. "What kind of fun games? Do you know how to dress up a Barbie doll?"

"Uh... I know, if you like it."

"But no one could play with me! I want to play with smart people. The maids are all too dumb!" Gemma crossed her arms around her chest, her lovely big eyes blood red from tears.

"Fine, I'll play with you."

"Really?" Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

"Really."

Even though Liam was almost driven crazy by this bratty, willful little girl, it was his own daughter. What could he do about her?

"My daddy always dresses up Barbie dolls with me. He is very good at dressing Barbie dolls."

'This little bunny! She brought up Ethan again.'

"I could play better than Ethan."

Gemma sensed the hostility in Liam's tone talking about her daddy, instantly she was not happy with him and she pursed her lips angrily.

"You can't even handle me! How dare you mock my daddy? You can’t speak anything bad about my daddy! " Her pink face was tightened up, showing a hint of seriousness on her face.

"OK. Fine, I won't say anything again." Liam compromised.

Finally he managed to coax Gemma into playing with him, and he didn't want to irritate her again.

Gemma grabbed the chips again and stuffed them in her mouth. "I don't want to dress up the Barbie dolls. I want to play hide-and-seek!"

She was worried that if Liam played really well, then she would lose.

"I'm very good at hide-and-seek. My daddy can't find me every time!"

Liam made a condescending laugh.

Gemma was a child after all. It was not that difficult to fool her!

It must be Ethan's trick to pretend not to find her.

That was how Ethan fooled Gemma with such a childish trick!

Liam's gaze gradually turned chill, with an eagerness for victory, and he said, "I'm good at hide-and- seek, too, and I'm definitely better than your daddy. I'll find you soon."

Gemma furrowed her delicate brows. "Don't you bluff!"

"I never bluff."

Looking at Liam, with a cautious yet curious look in her eyes, Gemma said, "Fine then! We'll play together when I'm full!"

"All right!"

Seeing the crumbs of the chips on the corner of her puffy mouth, Liam wiped them off with his long, slim fingers.

"How are we going to play?" Gemma's big, rolling eyes twinkled with a sense of slyness.

"How about this? If I win you at hide-and-seek, you take me home." Gemma made a request.

Liam was truly impressed by this little girl!

Her smartness must be inherited from him.

"Fine! You make the rule, and I'll do whatever you want!" Liam said.

Gemma immediately cheered up. She counted the numbers on her fingers. "I, 2, 3... If you can't find me in ten minutes, I win. And you have to send me home. How's that?"

Liam nodded, "Okay." "Are you sure?" Gemma's big eyes shone with a tricky light.

"I promise."

"But..."

Liam deliberately stretched his tone, "If I find you within ten minutes, you stay here with me."

"Okay." Gemma also agreed briskly.

Finally, she got a chance to go home. Gemma was thrilled, but she was even happier to have someone play with her.

Anna had been in hospital for several days while Ethan was constantly busy with work. She only had the housemaids to play with her and it wasn't fun at all.

Gemma picked up a tissue and wiped her hands carefully.

Then she jumped swiftly off the bed and said in a childish voice, "Let's start now."

There was a hint of anticipation in her voice.

Liam stood straight gracefully. His handsome, upright body gave out an innate confident aura.

He didn't believe he couldn't win against a child.

In a casual glance, his eyes gave out a sharp look, with a note of smartness.

Gemma's mood tensed up instantly.

'This smart guy must be tough to deal with.' But still she had to find a place to hide herself and not be found by him.

Only if she won could she go back to her daddy and mommy.

"I'll give you five minutes and you can hide anywhere i n the entire villa." Liam walked with steady steps on the mahogany floor.

Then, his footsteps stopped.

Standing in the lobby on the first floor, he had his hands in his pockets and he looked all aristocratic.

Gemma stuck her tongue out naughtily and grinned," I'll never let you find me."

Then she warned Liam, "No peeking! Or you'll lose!"

"Okay, I won't peek."

Liam turned his back on Gemma,standing still.

Gemma tiptoed away, then she hurried off in a huff.

In ten minutes...

Curling the corners of his lips, Liam's hawk-like eyes gave out a stern look, carrying an air of danger as he searched the villa carefully.

"Where are you hiding in?"

The afternoon sun shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows, shining on the luxurious but low key golden wall of the corridor. A perfectly slender figure was walking with preciseness and rapidness.

At that moment, hiding in the corner, Gemma nervously clenched her little pink fists.

Her little heart was beating rapidly as she heard Liam's footsteps approaching.

She hurriedly closed her eyes and prayed silently,' Don't find me. Don't find me...'

Liam searched carefully around. He did not miss any corners.

Almost ten minutes had passed and Gemma felt that she had been hiding for too long. She couldn't help but poke her head out and look outside.

Outside was quiet, even with no sound of the wind.

Gemma was at the edge of losing her patience.

However, just before she was about to stand up and see what was going on outside, suddenly, she heard the bedroom door was opened.
