Too Late to Love me Now Chapter 31: A spontaneous dinner
“Ayman, my boy, welcome!” Dad said, genuinely excited.“Good evening, sir. I hope you’re doing well,” Ayman replied.I just stood there beside them, watching closely, hoping everything would go smoothly. For now, Dad’s reaction and the warm welcome were reassuring me.“Claire,”“Yes, Dad?”“Let us know if everything’s ready so we can sit down. In the meantime, we can chat a bit.”“Okay, Dad. I’ll go check.”Ayman and I shared a quick glance before he followed Dad into the living room. That faint smile stayed on his face—he seemed just as pleased with this little exchange.I hoped Dad wouldn’t rush things, but I knew Ayman didn’t mind at all.Just as I stepped into the kitchen doorway, something caught my attention.“Lili?”She wasn’t beside me.I turned around and saw her sitting right next to Dad, listening quietly as if nothing were unusual, absorbing every word of their conversation.I couldn’t help but laugh lightly, hands on my hips. Even with Jason, she’d never shown such enthus
Too Late to Love me Now Chapter 30: The Heartbeat dinner
Hours passed, and of course, as a woman, even for a simple dinner, I struggled to decide what to wear.Usually, picking an outfit wasn’t this stressful, but I felt like Ayman’s visit had me nervous… and I think we all feel that way at some point.“Ugh! What am I going to wear?? I just can’t decide! Arghhh!!” I exclaimed, completely frazzled.At that moment, Lili knocked on the door:“Claire, can I come in?”“Yes, come on in.”She stepped in and her eyes went wide at the sight of my bed, completely buried under clothes.“What happened here? It looks like a storm hit and destroyed everything!” she exclaimed, shocked… and honestly, so was I.“Claire, what’s going on? All these clothes on your bed? Wait… don’t tell me it’s what I think it is?”At first, I refused to admit it, but I finally let it all out—I couldn’t take it anymore. The pressure was overwhelming.“Well… I’m having trouble choosing what to wear! There, I said it!”She burst out laughing without adding anything more.“Claire
Too Late to Love me Now Chapter 29: Dad gets involved
“Claire? Are you okay? You’re making a funny face!” Lili noticed, already back in my room that morning.“Oh no! Everything’s fine…” I replied with a smile, though I was still unsettled by that unexpected message from the night before.“Well, tell me! I want to know everything, Claire. I bet Ayman was totally captivated by your beauty. He couldn’t believe it!” she gushed, barely able to contain her excitement.“Lili! You really don’t let anything go, do you? Well, everything went perfectly, and yes, Ayman was happy to see me. That’s it,” I said, keeping the details to myself.“But Claire, tell me about his reaction! What did you do? Describe everything! Just thinking about it, I can imagine his face when he saw you walk in. Love is so beautiful!”She stayed there, hands clasped, eyes looking upward, as if she was really picturing the scene in her mind.“What are you doing, Lili?!” I exclaimed, laughing… then sighed, overwhelmed by her. But at the same time, her excitement about Ayman a
Too Late to Love me Now Chapter 28: The Unexpected Guest
The car was heading straight toward us, and the surprise on our faces grew more and more obvious.“An unexpected guest?” I asked, shocked.Ayman stayed frozen. As the car got closer, he furrowed his brows, like he was starting to guess who this mysterious visitor could be.“Ayman…?” I called again, but he didn’t move.The car pulled over. I squinted to see through the windows, and then…Ayman said with certainty,“It’s Jason.”My heart tightened in shock.He stepped out of the car and walked straight toward us.His presence surprised me, but there was absolutely no way I was going to let him throw me off.Ayman’s expression remained calm. He was alert, aware that Jason showing up was just as much of a surprise for him.A faint smile appeared on Ayman’s lips as he positioned himself a few meters away from us.“Well, well. Didn’t expect this!” Jason said, his tone dripping with condescension.At that moment, all I wanted was to avoid wasting my time and just leave, giving him no attenti
Too Late to Love me Now Chapter 27: The Step toward him
I felt beautiful. Comfortable in my own skin.And deep down, I hoped he noticed.But… I wasn’t ready to admit it to myself.Finally, I arrived.I got out of the car and walked straight down the path toward the entrance.Suddenly, a shiver ran through me, and my steps grew less confident.The hallway leading to the event felt so long that I thought I might not have the courage to make it all the way.Then, I heard a voice echo.“Well, dear friends, we won’t delay the festivities any longer.”It was Ayman.And my heart started pounding as if that voice was the signal I’d been waiting for—the signal I needed to take the next step and not turn back.I kept moving forward, with more conviction, wanting to honor him.Finally, I reached the entrance.I took a deep breath—a really deep one—and told myself I was in the right place, for the right person.And I stepped in…And there he was, right in front of me, dressed elegantly. His hair was slightly messy, but he looked incredible. Totally hi
Too Late to Love me Now Chapitre 26: My heart started to open
“You took forever! I see saying goodbye was a little hard,” Lili said suddenly as I got into the car.Her ironic smile lit up her face, her little eyes sparkling. You’d think she was the one living through all of this.“Lili, you’re impossible! I was just thanking him, that’s all. Why make such a big deal out of it with your sparkling eyes?” I tapped her cheek.“But what? It’s true, isn’t it? You don’t have to be a mind reader to see that you two have a thing for each other.”“Shhh, Lili!” I whispered, cutting her off.“What’s gotten into you? Slow down! Dad’s right there. I want things done right. No rushing, young lady.”“Girls, everything okay?” Dad exclaimed from the front.“YES!” she shouted in perfect unison.“Alright, at least I got my answer. You’re both smitten with each other, no doubt about it. I give you a few months… no, maybe weeks, before you officially make it official.”She threw that at me like she was absolutely sure. Her timing was precise.“Lili!” I whispered soft
Too Late to Love me Now Chapter 17: What my Heart Refused to see
Maybe Lili was right to ask me that question…I was grateful to him for everything. But to the point of starting a new life with him? I don’t think that was what I needed right now.It wouldn’t be healthy. Not for him, not for me. I had to follow my heart and face everything I had buried for so lon

“Do you feel like following me?” I asked suddenly.“What do you mean, Claire?”“Come on. Let’s go.”I grabbed his hand and pulled him outside.“What’s going on? Where are we going at this hour? And it might start raining…”The night was dark, lit only by a few streetlights. The wind brushed against
Too Late to Love me Now Chapter 12: The Beginning of My Freedom
My eyes stayed fixed on the papers in front of me for a long time. Then I looked at him again, and for a few seconds, I tried to push everything behind me…“I want to move forward, Ayman. I really want to move forward,” I said, my voice steady.“Yes, Claire. That’s what you need to do. Remember you
Too Late to Love me Now Chapter 11: Revelations
I was crying so hard I didn’t even hear the door open.Then suddenly“Claire?!”It was Ayman.I stood up immediately, wiping my tears.“Ay—Ayman? I… I didn’t hear you come in. I’m sorry.”He walked toward me without a word. He stood in front of me for a few seconds. I didn’t know where to look, wha
