Too Late to Claim Me Again のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 51 - チャプター 58

“Liam…” Anna murmured softly, pressing her palm against his chest in a gentle attempt to stop the kiss that had grown a little too deep, a little too lingering.Liam let out a quiet breath, his forehead resting against hers. Their warm breaths still mingled in the small space between them. “Who the hell is ruining the moment?” he muttered, unable to hide the irritation in his voice as Anna’s phone rang, cutting through the intimacy they had just begun to sink into.Anna couldn’t help but smile at his expression—like a child who’d just had his favorite toy taken away. Taking her time, she reached for her phone on the table. The moment Elena’s name lit up the screen, her smile widened, while Liam let out a long, dramatic sigh.“Hello, Elena. What’s wrong?” Anna asked, her voice light, though her breathing hadn’t fully steadied yet.On the other end, Elena’s voice came through, exaggerated as ever. “Anna, your husband is a complete demon king. He won’t even let me breathe,” she complaine

Anna walked slowly toward her office after finishing with her last patient. Fatigue was beginning to settle into her body, urging her to steal a few moments of rest before continuing her rounds. The hospital corridor, once bustling, had grown quieter—only the soft echo of her footsteps remained.Just as her hand touched the doorknob and she pushed it open, a hand suddenly grabbed her and pulled her inside. The door slammed shut, followed by the sharp click of the lock.Anna gasped, her breath catching in her throat. She nearly cried out—until her eyes landed on the man in front of her.“Liam!” she exclaimed, instinctively hitting his chest. She was now pinned between the wall and his arms, trapped in his hold. “What are you doing here?” she asked, her voice still laced with shock.“Your ex can come see you, but your husband can’t?” Liam replied coldly. His sharp gaze made his displeasure unmistakable.“He came to accompany Lusi,” Anna explained quickly, trying to defuse the tension.B

“Morning,” Liam said as Anna slowly opened her eyes. “Morning,” Anna replied, her voice still slightly hoarse. She blinked a few times, trying to shake off the last traces of sleep. “Have you been up long?” “About five minutes,” Liam answered casually. Then, almost as an afterthought, he added, “Sorry about last night—the bouquet was red roses, not white.” Anna smiled softly. “It’s okay. I like them.” And she realized, in that quiet moment, that it wasn’t the color of the flowers she cared about… but who had given them to her. Liam leaned down and pressed a brief kiss to her lips—warm, gentle—before pulling away. “I’m going to shower,” he said, getting out of bed. Anna simply nodded, her gaze following his back until he disappeared behind the bathroom door. “I need to eat a lot today… I’ve got three surgeries scheduled,” Anna murmured as

Liam’s hand tightened around Anna’s waist, holding her in place as if he feared she might disappear the moment he let go. Anna’s arms slipped around his neck, pulling him closer.They were in the bedroom now, beneath the soft glow of a dim lamp that cast gentle shadows along the walls. Anna lay beneath him, her breathing growing uneven, her chest rising and falling faster with each passing second.“I want you, Honey…” Liam murmured, his voice low and rough, thick with everything he had been holding back.Without waiting for an answer, he lowered his head and captured her lips.The kiss was deep, full of emotion—more than just desire. There was longing in it, and something deeper, something he had never been able to put into words.Anna didn’t hesitate to respond.Her fingers curled into his hair, holding on as though afraid the moment might slip away. She closed her eyes, surrendering to the warmth he gave her.As Liam s
