Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 156

Lucas shot Connor a quick glance.

This project had multiple teams already in place. Besides Leading Heights's project director, there were roles like operations manager, safety director, quality director, commercial manager, and production director, to name a few. It was rare for the project director to be on-site every day. Plus, the Paradise Resort project was in Riverbrook's most secluded suburb, miles away from here. Connor was basically sending Lucas into exile with the project department.

But this project was crucial for Moncada International. Whatever Connor demanded, Lucas had to accept. After last night, Lucas felt utterly defeated. Between Linda’s clinginess and Chloe’s cold shoulder, he just wanted some peace and quiet. So, Lucas agreed without a second thought.

As Lucas stepped out of the CNR Tower, he spotted Linda waiting at the entrance. Most of the folks from Moncada International were long-time loyalists who followed Joshua. Many had seen Lucas and Chloe grow up together and knew all about Lucas and Linda’s relationship. Linda was Lucas’ mistress, and he was not even trying to hide it. She acted as if she were Lucas’ wife. But those in the know had little respect for her. The Moncada International crew sighed, bid Lucas goodbye, and left.

Linda ran over to Lucas. Today, she was dressed especially somberly in a long white linen dress with a white canvas bag on her shoulder. With no makeup, she looked even more tired, her eyes slightly red, making her seem fragile and helpless. She looked like a breeze could knock her over.

Lucas had wrestled with this for two days, and every second was a struggle. But now, having said it, he felt resolute. His voice was firm and unwavering. "I said, I don’t want this child, Linda. Let’s terminate the pregnancy and go back to our lives."

Linda felt the sun’s unusually harsh rays. Lucas continued, "It's only three months; it won’t harm your body too much. I’ll compensate you, just name your price. If you agree, I’ll book the doctor right now. I’ll go with you to the hospital and take care of you until you’re fully recovered and discharged."
