Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 1045

Chloe sank into the couch on the balcony. “So, why’d you ask me over?”

Connor slid in next to her, like it was the most natural thing in the world. “I wanted to see you.”

This time, Chloe didn’t shy away from his eyes. She looked straight at him—bold, unfiltered, and a little too curious. Her gaze drifted down his face, pausing at his chest. Connor noticed, tugged his pajama top tighter, and tried to play it cool as he grabbed a bottle of water from the table.

“Why are you staring at me like that?” he asked.

“You got all dressed up tonight—don’t tell me it’s not for me to look at,” Chloe shot back.

Connor almost choked on his water. Chloe reached over and patted his back, laughing. “Careful.”

He glanced at her, half amused. “You don’t have to be so straightforward, you know.”

Connor had expected her to be shy, maybe even a little flustered, just like the old days. But Chloe just kept surprising him, always one step ahead.

With a sigh, Connor started buttoning up his pajama shirt, pretending not to care. Chloe grinned. “Guess I always had great taste.”

“Chloe, you—”

She broke into laughter, the sound bright and easy. For some reason, being around him made her relax. Sometimes, she just wanted to tease him—something she never felt around Lucas.

Connor had planned to mess with Chloe a little, maybe take advantage of her memory loss. Instead, she’d turned the tables on him. But honestly, he didn’t mind. Seeing glimpses of her old self—bold, fiery, and utterly captivating—made him happier than he’d like to admit.
