Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 1044

“Aaron, I’m not here to replace your dad. But we can be friends, you know? We both love the same person, and that kind of makes us the best team, right? We both want your mom to be happy.”

Summer finally looked up, meeting Connor’s gaze. His eyes were shining with unshed tears. “Uncle Connor, you’re not like my dad. My dad just wants to keep my mom close, but you… you really love her. My mom deserves someone who truly loves her.”

“Then promise me you won’t leave her, okay? If you go, she won’t be happy anymore.”

A tear finally rolled down Summer’s cheek. “I don’t want to leave Mom either.”

Connor gently wiped away his tears and held out his fist. “Deal between men: we’ll protect Chloe together.”

Summer nodded, his little hand forming a fist to bump Connor’s. “We’re the Protect-Chloe Squad.”

After his bath, Summer padded out of the bathroom.

Connor walked him back to Chloe’s room.

Chloe immediately noticed something different about Summer. He wasn’t quiet or withdrawn anymore, and he didn’t ask to go home. He was back to being her sweet, thoughtful little guy.

Once both kids were asleep, Chloe sent Connor a quiet text.

What did you say to Aaron?

Connor’s reply came back almost instantly.
