Semua Bab He Lost Me, His Uncle Claimed Me: Bab 81 - Bab 90

Anna walked into the office radiating sunlight, and Lisa immediately approached her. "Boss, what did you do last night? You look like a goddess today, like you've descended from heaven.""Flatterer."Lisa followed her with excitement. "I’m serious! You’ve always been pretty, but your face used to remind me of a ghost from the underworld—like the grim reaper herself, having to collect so many souls to meet her KPIs. You always looked so bitter. But today, when you walked in, I swear you looked like you were wrapped in sunshine.""With all that time spent flattering me, you should be working on the proposal. We're heading to LC International Group at 11 today."Lisa was instantly pumped up, as if she had just been injected with energy. "I’m going to get everything ready!"Asher entered the room, yawning. Anna asked, "You were working late again last night?""Not really. I’m too scared of dying young! It was my girlfriend, actually. In the middle of the night, she suddenly wanted cake, s

If they really went to the bed, the conversation would no longer be about business.Anna could only respond, "Let’s stay here.""Alright."Every time he spoke, his warm breath would brush against her skin, making her tremble involuntarily.It was clear that he was doing it on purpose, trying to tease her.Despite handling numerous difficult clients, this was the first time Anna had encountered someone like him.His profile had indicated that he was temperamental, but today, Anna finally understood just how unpredictable he could be.She had expected him to make a move, but aside from holding her, he didn’t do anything else.The quiet room only echoed with the sound of him flipping through the papers. He hadn’t spoken a word, and even his breathing had grown shallow, leaving Anna with an unsettling sense of uncertainty.Lorenzo looked at the girl in his arms, her back straight, her eyes glued to the paper.She had been holding that position as long as he had been staring at the page. W

In the car.Anna received the information her assistant had sent over about Michelle.Twenty two years old. Senior at a dance academy. Average family background. Had been closely involved with multiple men.In other words, she had relied on her looks, using men as stepping stones to climb higher and gain access to better options.None of this was hard to uncover. Lucas had treated her as a pastime and never bothered to investigate. Asher, on the other hand, was too naive. A good boy who had never dated before, running straight into a seasoned fox. By the time she was done with him, there would not even be bones left. He was probably still helping her count money.Anna felt a headache coming on. Even if she threw this background check in Asher’s face right now, that single minded fool would still insist it was true love and that he did not care about Michelle’s past.Unless he caught her in the act, he would never wake up.Anna casually searched online for demon tattoos, wondering if s

That was men.Too strong, and a woman was labeled domineering.Not strong, and she was just someone who cooked.“Alright.” Anna kept smiling. “Tomorrow night I’ll come back with Lorenzo. Brenda, prepare your signature dishes.”“Of course,” Brenda replied. “I’ll take good care of Lorenzo. He’s Lucas’s uncle after all. When Lily marries in, she’ll still need him to look after her.”That only deepened Lily’s resentment.She had worked hard to secure the Caldwell engagement and had not even had the chance to show off before Anna overtook her, becoming Lorenzo’s wife instead.These days, Lucas treated her like air. He did not answer calls or reply to messages. When she tried to find him, she could not even see him.Lily was anxious. And when she was unhappy, she did not want Anna to be happy either.She recalled the last meal at the Caldwell family. Even during such an important marriage discussion, Lorenzo had not shown up. That had to mean their relationship was not good.“Mom, stop worr

Lorenzo stubbed out his cigarette and opened his arms to her.The sound of high heels grew faster. Anna rushed into his embrace, wrapping her arms around his solid waist.Her muffled voice came from his chest. “Just hold me for a while.”His strong arms closed around her, tightening inch by inch around her slender back.In the dim light, the corner of his lips lifted slightly. “Alright.”Anna breathed in the cool cedar and pine scent on him, mixed with a trace of tobacco. Her heart suddenly settled.Lorenzo was like a lighthouse in the dark, guiding her when she lost her way.Her fingers clenched the fabric of his shirt. She lifted her head and looked at him. “Lorenzo, if one day you decide to leave, you have to tell me in advance.”At least then she could prepare herself, and she would not look so helpless when it happened.Meeting her uneasy gaze, he understood her completely.She lost her mother at ten. She was forced to accept her mother’s best friend as her stepmother, then sent
