Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 224

Chloe had a lot going on in her life, and Winston was no stranger to most of it. For example, he knew about the whole mix-up with Lisa. But now, things seemed way more complicated than she'd imagined. Chloe was completely stumped. So, for now, she decided to keep it under wraps.

Sensing Chloe's hesitation, Winston didn't press. "I'm short on staff right now, so it'll take two days. Come back for the report then," he said.

Chloe responded, "I'm heading to Paris for a week tomorrow. I'll grab the report when I'm back."

That afternoon, Chloe informed Tony she was taking the ten days of annual leave they'd agreed on. Since Tony had already approved it, he couldn't back out now.

In the evening, Chloe went to Greenpeace Estate to pack her things. As she pulled up, she noticed the lights were on. Inside, she found Teddy coming down the stairs.

"Ms. Chloe," Teddy greeted her with respect.

Chloe nodded back politely. "Teddy, are you here to pick up Mr. Connor's stuff?"

Teddy's face flushed with embarrassment. "No, he got drunk tonight and insisted on coming here, so..."

Chloe's lovely brows knitted together.

Sensing her displeasure, Teddy quickly tried to gain her sympathy. "He has been in a terrible mood lately. He has not been eating and just throwing himself into work. He's pushed himself so hard that his stomach's acting up. He had to get an IV this afternoon, and he couldn’t avoid tonight’s dinner meeting. Now, he's drunk again. He’s definitely going to be in pain tomorrow."

He hadn't lied about one thing. Lately, Connor had been like a different person, working nonstop and neglecting his health. Teddy knew why. Connor missed Ms. Chloe terribly and was afraid if he had any downtime, he'd end up seeking her out.

Today, after Claire got the news they'd released, she was already on a flight to Italy. All night, a drunk Connor kept calling out for Chloe. That was when Teddy decided to bring Connor here.

Sighing, Teddy resigned himself to moving boxes from the storage room. After he was done, he drove away.

Chloe went up to the third floor and started packing her luggage. Halfway through, she noticed a shadow at the doorway.

It was Connor.
