All Chapters of Too Late to Claim Me Again : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Anna stepped out of the car beside Liam. They were now officially husband and wife. Each step felt unbearably heavy, the reality still difficult for Anna to accept. The marriage had happened too fast—too suddenly, far removed from anything she had ever imagined for herself.“Anna,” Matilda called, immediately linking her arm through Anna’s. Her gaze was serious. “Listen to Mom carefully,” she said in a low but firm voice. “For now, your marriage will remain a secret. But remember—this is only temporary. Mom will still prepare a proper, lavish wedding celebration for you. When you’re ready to make it public, just tell me.”“Yes, Mom,” Anna replied softly.Matilda wrapped her in a warm embrace, as if trying to soothe the storm still raging inside Anna’s chest.“You should rest now,” Jonathan said gently, rubbing Anna’s back with quiet affection.Anna nodded. Together with Liam, she headed up to the third floor. But as soon as they arrived, Anna instinctively walked toward her own bedroo

Anna stood and reached for the plate in Liam’s hand, about to wash it herself, but his hand swiftly caught her wrist.“I’ll do it,” Liam said shortly.Anna stared at him without blinking, a mix of confusion and suspicion in her eyes.“Are you feeling okay?” she asked, following him into the kitchen.Liam didn’t answer. He focused on washing the dishes while Anna continued watching him, as if waiting for an explanation. When he finally finished, he turned around. His slow steps brought him closer, instantly putting Anna on edge. She retreated without realizing it until her back hit the kitchen counter.“Do you want to check for yourself?” Liam asked, his tone deliberately ambiguous.“Stop!” Anna blurted out, reflexively crossing her arms over her chest.Liam lifted an eyebrow, a faint smile playing on his lips. “Why are you scared now? Weren’t you the one staring at me earlier without blinking?”“That was just… because you’re acting strange,” Anna replied nervously, her voice trembling

The glare of sunlight made Anna squint before she finally opened her eyes.“Good morning, Ma’am,” a woman’s voice greeted her.Still half-asleep, Anna jolted upright in bed.“Oh my God!” she exclaimed. Her gaze swept over the woman standing beside the bed. “Who are you?” she asked innocently.“I’m Maria, Ma’am. The maid assigned by Sir to assist you,” the woman explained with a polite smile.Anna let out a slow breath. “Where’s Liam?” she asked, realizing the room was occupied by only the two of them.“Sir is having breakfast, Ma’am.”The answer made Anna instinctively glance at the wall clock. Her eyes widened—she’d slept in.She hurried out of bed and left the room, with Maria following closely behind. When Anna entered the dining room, she immediately spotted Liam sitting casually in his chair, already dressed in a perfectly tailored suit, looking ready to leave for work.“Liam,” Anna called.He turned and gave her a faint smile. “You’re awake.”“I’m sorry, I overslept,” Anna said

“Where is Anna?” Liam asked the moment he arrived home, only to find the house unusually quiet.“Madam left early this morning, Sir. She didn’t even have breakfast,” Maria replied cautiously.Hearing that, Liam immediately took out his phone and called Anna. One call—unanswered.“Find out where Anna is,” Liam ordered coldly to Wira, the head servant of the household.“Yes, Sir,” Wira replied promptly and hurried off, while Liam began typing a message.Where are you?The short message was sent. Liam stared at his phone screen without blinking.A moment later, Wira returned.“Sir,” he called softly. “Madam Anna is at her friend’s apartment—Miss Elena,” Wira reported. “I can send you the address if you wish to go there.”Before Liam could respond, a notification chimed. A message—from Anna.Liam gestured for Wira and the other servants to leave the room.I’m staying over at my friend’s apartment today. She just got back from overseas.Sorry for telling you so late.Reading her reply, Lia

Anna stepped out of the bedroom and wandered through the house, her steps restless as she searched for Liam. Since yesterday’s incident, she hadn’t seen him even once. His absence—made worse by the way he had left without a single word—left her heart in constant turmoil.“Is there anything I can help you with, ma’am?” Wira asked when he noticed Anna looking unsettled, as if she were searching for something.“Where is Liam?” Anna asked without preamble.“The master left yesterday with Mr. Kenzo and hasn’t returned yet, ma’am,” Wira answered honestly.At that, Anna unconsciously twisted the hem of her sleeve. Her chest tightened. She kept thinking, searching for a way to ease Liam’s anger. After a moment, she finally turned toward the kitchen.“Ma’am, what brings you to the kitchen so early?” Maria asked anxiously when she saw Anna enter, clearly flustered since breakfast wasn’t ready yet. “Are you planning to eat now?”“I’ll prepare it myself,” Anna said calmly, but firmly.“But, ma’am
