Semua Bab He Lost Me, His Uncle Claimed Me: Bab 171 - Bab 180

Anna was dizzy from Lorenzo’s kiss when he suddenly said that. For a moment she felt like she was dreaming.“W what did you just say?”Lorenzo cupped her cheek, his eyes filled with tenderness and longing.“In front of you, I’ve always felt insecure. You’re like a cloud in the sky. I’m afraid a gust of wind will come and carry you away. But if we have a child together, then there will be a bond between us that can never be broken.”Like a devil whispering temptation, he murmured beside her ear.“Baby, give me a child, okay?”Anna felt completely bewitched by him. Her heart raced in confusion.“I I need to think about it.”She was only twenty five, still at the age when she wanted to chase her ambitions.Compared to the Anna who once firmly insisted she wouldn’t have children for at least three years, this answer was already a softening.What she did not realize was that once you fall for someone, you start lowering your boundaries again and again without noticing.Taking advantage of

Anna shivered and jerked awake from the nightmare.Her body ached from the sudden, excessive strain she had put on it, every muscle screaming. She gasped for air, wincing.She had kept up a regular workout routine before, but over the past month, work had drained her energy, and even exercising had become a chore. Last night’s intense training had been too much, and her body paid the price.The memory of Lorenzo’s words from last night made her spine chill.Have his child?Impossible.Anna had once thought Lorenzo was a gentle, perfect lover. Last night had shown her the truth.Cold. Obsessive. Detached.Terrifying.The front door opened suddenly.Anna instinctively pulled the blanket around herself. When she saw who it was, her heart skipped—Lorenzo.He looked refined in his suit, calm and poised, nothing like the predatory man from the night before. In his hand, he carried a food container. He looked at her and asked, “Are you hungry?”Anna instinctively clutched the blanket tighter

Cameron frowned. “Why would you think that? Yes, I was strict with her back then, and I might have had complaints. But she was the woman I married sincerely, and she did great things for the Whitmore family. No matter what, I would never have killed her.”Anna tried to find a crack in Cameron’s expression, some hint of truth. But his anger at her accusation was clear. Had she imagined it all?“Let’s put that aside. Sign this share transfer agreement, and I won’t appear in your lives again.”Billy, still weak, spoke with the same icy authority. “And if I don’t sign?”Lorenzo’s cold voice cut through the room. “Then it won’t be up to you.”He stepped beside Anna, his tall frame radiating safety. “I heard Lawrence bribed several officials to get the bridge project. Coincidentally, someone recorded it. Tell me—if I submit that, what do you think will happen to the Whitmore family?”Billy glared. “Lorenzo, we’re family. If the Whitmores fall, do you really think the Caldwell family gains a

Anna felt hopeless—she couldn’t believe she could still be so easily swayed by a man’s charm.She’d told herself no, but once again, the man in uniform bewitched her.She had to admit—there were some unusual tendencies deep in her bones.Years ago, when she had been shipwrecked at sea, convinced she would die in the ocean, they had happened upon a special forces unit nearby.She hadn’t seen clearly who saved her, but she never forgot those strong, powerful hands.After waking, she and the others were placed on the rescue boat, while that mysterious ship seemed to vanish without a trace.Since then, Anna could never ignore a man in uniform.When she saw Lorenzo descend in camouflage on that island, a strange filter overlaid her perception of him.When she woke this time, it was already the next afternoon.She had no idea how his stamina held up—two nights in a row, and he still went to work.Meanwhile, she was slipping further into the role of a pampered little wife.Not a single call

Howard smiled gently. “Yes, you and Lorenzo are in love. Whether it’s a day sooner or later, it won’t make much difference, right? It’s just a formality.”Though she understood the logic, Anna couldn’t shake the feeling that something about the Caldwell family was… off.From Howard to Lorenzo, even Lucas lately—they all seemed a little strange, like there was a hidden game being played.The old man lifted the smooth teacup. “No objections?”Anna nodded obediently. “None.”It felt a little rushed, but otherwise, it wasn’t too important.After greeting Howard, she stepped outside, staring at the sea beneath the shade of the trees.Lorenzo had once mentioned a six-month trial marriage—if she changed her mind, he could cancel the wedding anytime. But now, with the wedding set for next month, that meant only a month remained.“What are you thinking about?” Lorenzo handed her a coconut with a straw.Anna blinked, realizing she might be overthinking. She liked Lorenzo, and he loved her. That
