Semua Bab He Lost Me, His Uncle Claimed Me: Bab 31 - Bab 40

The five days Anna spent with Lorenzo were the happiest she had ever known.She had always wanted to travel to San Diego, but her busy work schedule had never allowed it. Before Lucas returned to New York, she had given him one last chance. If he had agreed to go to San Diego with her that day, Anna would have confessed everything.But he didn’t. He was in a rush to return to New York for an arranged meeting. From the very beginning, he hadn’t planned on marrying her, and his choice made Anna finally close the chapter on their three-year relationship.What she didn’t expect was that she didn’t go to San Diego. Instead, by some twist of fate, she ended up in another country, with none other than Lucas’s uncle by her side.In just a few days, they kissed under the aurora and the stars, fed lambs on snowy mountains, raced across the prairie, and let the sea breeze whip through their hair. Their relationship grew by leaps and bounds.On the way back, Anna watched a movie on the plane whil

The piano music inside didn’t stop, and Lily hurried to catch up. “Lucas, this is my sister’s room. She’s always been a bit of a loner and doesn’t like socializing. Especially lately, her face broke out, so she can’t meet anyone. I hope you don’t mind.”Lucas withdrew his hand. “Sorry, I was out of line.”Lily smiled softly. “I’ll take you to the backyard to enjoy the flowers.”As they walked, Lily used the opportunity to speak ill of Anna, painting her as unstable, arrogant, and overbearing, attaching labels like “unpredictable” and “full of herself” to Anna’s character.But Lucas wasn’t stupid. Though he had never met the eldest daughter of the Whitmore family, he had heard of her. He knew that Anna had been sent abroad at the age of ten. Now, she returned with no proper room, living in the attic.He was well aware that the woman his uncle had chosen was not someone like her—someone who couldn’t even manage her own living situation. Furthermore, his mother had been praising Anna ove

This was truly the last straw—first, William had caused a misunderstanding, and now her ex-boyfriend had appeared out of nowhere.Anna hadn’t planned to meet Lucas so soon, but fate seemed to have intervened, forcing their paths to cross at this moment.Lucas shot William a sharp glare, his voice cold and harsh. “Leave. Now.”William hesitated, clearly unwilling but knowing full well that Lucas wasn’t someone he could take on. He reluctantly released Anna’s wrist.Before he walked away, he threw Anna one last, longing glance. “I’ll wait for you.”The words made Lucas’s eyes burn with fury. “Anna, who is he? What’s your relationship with him?”Anna let out a weary sigh. “Since you’ve seen everything, there’s no point in pretending anymore. Just like you and Stell, he and I are the same.”It was then that Lucas noticed how different Anna seemed now. She was wearing a form-fitting, square-necked fishtail dress with her hair up. A black feather fan rested in her hands. She exuded an allur

With that, he turned and left, leaving Anna standing at the vanity. She wasn’t sure if it was the blush she had applied, but her cheeks were burning.Lorenzo walked toward the door, the sunlight cascading over him, casting a soft golden glow around his figure.He turned back, his gaze landing on Anna’s face. "Hurry up and come here."Anna quickly caught up to him, and as she reached his side, he casually took her hand.The warm summer sun poured gently onto the staircase, casting stripes of light along the way.Anna had to jog to keep up with his pace, but Lorenzo seemed to sense it and slowed down, allowing them to walk together through the rays of sunlight.“Do you want the wedding house here, or should we pick a different place?” Lorenzo suddenly asked.Anna hadn’t even considered this. “Huh?”Seeing the confused look on her face, he reached out and lightly tapped her nose.“Clueless. When you made me your target client, didn’t you have a plan in mind?”He knew her notes? Anna’s fa

Lucas's gaze was intense, his once innocent and pure boyish charm now morphed into something darker, more sinister. “I said, the one I want to marry is Anna.”With everything else already out in the open, he no longer cared about maintaining his "pure" image. His eyes were now fierce and predatory, making Anna feel uneasy, almost fearful.She had always known Lucas wouldn’t back down quietly after being played. That was why she had hurried to solidify her relationship with Lorenzo before Lucas came back, subtly pushing Lily into the picture.But she had underestimated how deep Lucas's feelings for her ran. Over those three years, his love wasn’t fake.A low, deep voice interrupted the tension. "That won't be happening. Anna and I are already married."Each bombshell that dropped today seemed more explosive than the last.“What!” Lily’s voice rang out, shocked.This was supposed to be Anna’s goal, right? How did she end up tangled up with Lorenzo?Lorenzo had come prepared. As he pulle
