He Lost Me, His Uncle Claimed Me のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 51 - チャプター 60

Lorenzo opened the passenger door for her, letting Anna hold onto him as she got into the car.He slowly leaned in, and Anna thought he was about to kiss her. Without thinking, she closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly.But instead of a kiss, the sound of the seatbelt clicking into place broke the moment. She opened her eyes, only to meet Lorenzo's teasing gaze. "What were you expecting?"Caught off guard, Anna's face flushed a deep red. "I thought you were going to kiss me.""Ha."She heard him chuckle lowly in her ear. "I’d rather have you make the first move."He closed the door and walked a few steps away, pulling out a cigarette.Dressed in a sharp suit for their dinner at the Whitmore family, Lorenzo looked every bit the part of the distant, untouchable highborn. The black-and-white striped tie was impeccably tied, his posture perfect.When he exhaled a puff of smoke, his sharp features became blurred by the mist, making it hard to read his expression—like the moon r

No man could resist that kind of seductive voice, but Lorenzo could see no trace of affection in her eyes. To put it bluntly, Anna treated him like a valuable client.He gently pulled her away. "I still have some things to take care of. Get some rest tonight."Anna blinked in understanding. "Okay, I'll go wash up.""Good."As she entered the bathroom, a flash of cold light passed through Lorenzo's eyes.Anna dialed her assistant’s number, and the excitement in her assistant’s voice was apparent. "Boss, I thought after you returned to New York, you’d have found some other flashy woman and leave me behind.""Cut the jokes. Is everything ready at the company?""Don’t worry. I’ve been cleaning your desk every day, and the potted plants that came from Miami are also doing well. We’re just waiting for you to come back to the office."Anna smiled slightly. She knew how the Whitmore family operated, so she had made preparations in advance. She had registered her own company in New York long a

Lucas knew Anna was decisive, but he never imagined that one day her decisiveness would be aimed at him."Anna, was our three years together a lie? You know I was sincere with you. Who in this world can stay true to just one person? Even my uncle—can you guarantee he won’t go after other women in the future? I just made a mistake, one that every man makes, and you’re going to crucify me for it? You won’t even give me a chance. Once this news gets out, we’ll have no chance at all."Looking into his red-rimmed eyes, Anna found it hard to understand how he could act like the victim."Lucas, you’re admitting your mistake because my leaving has left you feeling aggrieved. You think going back home will be some sort of reward for me. If I had accepted this, agreed to this unspoken rule, even if we had married, I would still have to endure you playing around with other women every day.""Men fool around outside; that’s completely normal. Even your father—do you think he only has your stepmot

Ever since Lorenzo publicly posted pictures of their relationship on Instagram, Forrest had speculated countless times about who his girlfriend could be. He’d gone through every possibility in his mind, but he never once thought it would be Anna.After all, the public knew all about the Whitmore family’s arranged marriage with Lucas, so who would have guessed that her partner would turn out to be Lorenzo?Which meant that the cold woman Lorenzo had just spoken of was actually Anna.Well, well, well. This was a rare moment. Lorenzo had actually fallen for it.Forrest quickly pulled out his phone and started recording. He couldn’t wait to show this footage at Lorenzo’s wedding. It would be on repeat, for sure.Laura, noticing that Forrest’s attention had shifted, finally relaxed. But as she looked at Anna and Lorenzo, her brow furrowed. Was Lorenzo treating her badly?Anna followed Lorenzo downstairs, feeling the cold aura around him. She had no idea what had set him off.Before she cou

As soon as their hands touched, Anna quickly pulled back, but the seat next to Lorenzo was still empty, so she sat down beside him in full view of everyone.Asher was an excellent worker, but when it came to emotional intelligence, he often had a blind spot.“Oh, I heard that the Whitmore family and the Caldwell family are planning a merger. You must have met before, right?” he remarked.Lorenzo didn’t say anything. As far as the world knew, only the family members knew about his marriage to Anna. She had rejected his offer to work with the Caldwell family, clearly intending to build her own career, just like her mother. She wasn’t someone who wanted to rely on a man.So, Lorenzo kept quiet in public and waited to see her reaction. As expected, she didn’t introduce herself as his wife.In her eyes, he was just a tool, useful for a while and then discarded when done with.Anna could feel the cold air radiating from the man beside her. Did she do something wrong again?She quickly expla
