Semua Bab He Lost Me, His Uncle Claimed Me: Bab 91 - Bab 100

If this had been before, she might have told him the truth. But now that Asher was dating Michelle, his already limited brainpower had dropped straight to zero.Anna rolled her eyes at him.“None of your business.”“Come on, Anna. We’re such good friends…”She shot him a cold look.“And you still listened to that woman and implied I’m some fake ‘one of the guys’ type?”“Anna, I’m bad with words. That’s not what I meant. Michelle wasn’t talking about you. She meant someone else.”Anna did not bother wasting time on pointless arguments.She called Lisa in and had her escort him out.After the door to the CEO office closed, Lisa asked quietly, “Why didn’t you tell Asher his girlfriend is a player?”“He’s stubborn. Without solid proof, he won’t believe it. Leave him alone. Go ahead and organize the free company wide health checkup.”“Boss, you’re amazing. Wishing you nonstop profits.”Lisa leaned in again, eyes sparkling.“Boss, are you really married?”Anna took the ring out of her bag.

Women were like flowers. They thrived when nurtured.The Anna of the past had no one to rely on. She cut her own path through the world, ruthless and unstoppable.Like a thorny rose, breathtaking yet dangerous.Tonight, Anna wore a black dress with a black blazer draped over it. Her style had not changed much.But her presence had.Even the sunlight seemed to favor her. The fading glow of sunset traced her silhouette in gold. Cradling a bouquet, she looked soft as a petal.It was a sight Lucas had never seen before.When Lily saw her fiancé rush over to open the door for Anna, her face darkened. She called out sweetly,“Lucas.”Only then did Lucas snap back to reality. He watched Anna link arms with Lorenzo, smiling politely and speaking in the tone one would use with an elder.“So well behaved.”Lucas fell silent.On the surface, her smile looked gentle and kind, almost grandmotherly. Inside, she was flying high with satisfaction.All the hardship she had endured pursuing Lorenzo had

Lily finished dinner in a state of anxiety. A maid applied ointment to her swollen face.She and Lucas were not married yet, so they stayed in separate rooms.Knowing he planned to go swimming later, Lily wanted to seize the chance. She had even brought a sexy swimsuit with her.But with her face swollen from the slaps, the frustration only grew.She spent a long time doing her makeup, barely managing to cover it up. With only a B cup, she deliberately stuffed in two padded inserts. Men were simple creatures. As long as she was gentle enough, Lucas would eventually fall for her.Anna, on the other hand, enjoyed dinner far more than expected.After resting for a while, she noticed the infinity pool glowing under the lights. The water shimmered invitingly, and she felt tempted.Back in Miami, she had loved working out and swimming. She went back to her room and changed into a swimsuit.When Anna reached the pool, she spotted a vague figure moving through the deep end. Her lips curved sl

When Anna came out after her shower, she saw the tall man standing by the terrace. She poured herself a glass of red wine and stood beside him.The mountains were quiet, nothing like the city at night.In the distance, only the faint outlines of the peaks were visible. Unnamed insects chirred all around, carrying a sense of freedom in the air.“You like this place?”“It’s nice. I’ve been buried in work these past few years. I hardly ever take vacations.”She still found herself savoring the memory of the aurora they had watched together abroad.“Want to go riding at the stables tomorrow?”“Sure, but I haven’t ridden in years. I might…”Before Anna could finish, an awkward sound drifted over from the neighboring room.“Lucas, don’t rush…”Anna instinctively tightened her grip on the wineglass. The smile on her face shifted.She had always known Lucas was no saint, especially when it came to sex. He had always played fast and loose.But she had never heard him this close, this directly.

The next day, Anna came down to breakfast, feeling refreshed and full of energy. After the alcohol from the night before, she had slept soundly, barely waking up at all.Lucas and Lily, on the other hand, were the complete opposite. Despite Lucas changing rooms, he had been unable to sleep all night, consumed with jealousy over the image of Anna and Lorenzo kissing.Lily fared even worse; after calling out for so long, her voice was hoarse, and her body felt drained, her throat sore and dry.Nicholas couldn't even look at her, his face expressing utter disappointment, as if questioning how his daughter-in-law could choose such a woman.Heather took Lily aside, her expression awkward. "Lily, I know you young people are full of energy, and it’s fine that you and Lucas are engaged. But remember, there are elders in the house. Please be mindful of the influence."Lily hoarsely replied, "You misunderstand, we didn't...""We've all been through it. I understand. But please, be more discreet
