Semua Bab He Lost Me, His Uncle Claimed Me: Bab 11 - Bab 20

Good news. The man she had planned to pursue said he wanted to take responsibility for her.Bad news. She had rejected him and even stepped on his foot.The man standing at the entrance was tall and imposing. Compared to the business casual look she had seen at the club, he looked far more formal tonight.He had deliberately chosen an Italian suit. The cut was sharp, the lines clean.The dark gray Prince of Wales check made him look elegant and upright, every movement radiating restraint and status.Lucas did resemble him slightly, but this man features were deeper, the lines sharper, with an aggressively striking presence.Anna had long sensed that he was no ordinary man. She had even guessed he might be Lucas older brother, but she had never imagined he was his uncle.After all, this uncle was only ten years older than Lucas.Anna composed expression stiffened visibly.As her thoughts spiraled, Lorenzo drew closer. Her heart pounded wildly.She was terrified he might expose what hap

The moment his lips came down on hers, Anna mind went completely blank.She had kissed before, but kissing her ex boyfriend uncle right under his father eyes nearly made her explode.In her daze, the man took the opportunity to pry open her lips. Heated, intimate breaths tangled between them.After waiting a while without an answer, Nicholas asked again from the front.“Which family daughter could possibly stir your heart of stone?”Anna pressed her fingers lightly against Lorenzo chest, trying to push him away. If this continued, they would definitely be discovered.The man did not budge at all. It was almost as if the more nervous she became, the more amused he was.Anna was so anxious she nearly bit him, but he had long been prepared. His thumb and forefinger pinched her jaw, leaving her no chance.She had no other choice. Hard tactics would not work, so she could only soften.Anna rubbed against him like she was acting spoiled, her small hand looping around his neck. Her wide eyes

The next morning.When Anna came downstairs neatly dressed, Brenda greeted her with unusual warmth."Anna, come have breakfast."She glanced at Lily, who was dressed up carefully."You have plans today?"Dressed like that, she was clearly not heading to school.Brenda looked at Cameron, and he spoke."When you go to the Caldwell residence, take your sister with you. She wants to learn perfumery as well. You can teach her."Learning perfumery was just an excuse. They were afraid Anna would get there first. The mother and daughter were still just as shameless as ever.Anna did not refuse and agreed readily."Sure."After breakfast, the car sent by the Caldwell family arrived. Lily stepped forward in her heels and got in first, brushing past Anna. Anna did not mind.Whether tea tasting or perfumery, the Caldwell family clearly intended to observe which of the two sisters was more suitable to marry into their family.Lily had lived a pampered life since she was brought into the Whitmore f

Society might not judge women as harshly as it once did, but powerful families cared deeply about appearances. If she were seen soaked like this, she would become easy gossip over afternoon tea.Lorenzo’s shirt and trousers were splashed wet as well, yet he remained perfectly composed.A faintly meaningful smile played at his lips."You want to marry into the Caldwell family that badly?"Anna did not deny it."Any woman in New York would.""So you agreed to Lucas only because of his status?"She met his probing gaze. As a woman, she sensed keenly that Lorenzo was interested in her.She had a beautiful face and a figure other women envied.Men were visual creatures. Even someone as experienced as Lucas had been captivated by her. She did not believe this man felt nothing.Her hand, which had been braced against his chest, slowly relaxed. Her body softened and leaned into him, sliding upward like a snake until she stopped at his ear and breathed softly."I was after his identity as a Ca

Anna lay flat on her back, her soft hair spread across the pillow.Thinking of how he once said he would marry her, only out of a sense of responsibility.So many blind dates, yet he chose Patricia.There had to be feelings involved.If he had not allowed it, who would dare write gossip about the Caldwell family?He had released the signal himself, letting the world know where his heart lay.So it was time for her to retreat.Her fate could not escape a political marriage. If not Lucas, then someone else.Across all of New York, there was no family more prominent than the Caldwell family.But Lorenzo and Patricia were clearly fond of each other. Anna could not bring herself to become the woman who broke them apart.She despised third parties more than anything in her life.Anna sighed softly. Fate always loved to toy with people. What she wanted was never easy to obtain.She brushed her fingers over the exquisitely crafted Patricia mother of pearl hairpin.There was regret, but Anna k
