Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 565

Lucas could sense what Chloe was itching to say. Maybe Tara had nudged her to speak up, but he was eager to hear it himself.

Turning to Linda, Lucas said, “Linda, could you head back to your room?” Linda wasn’t having it. “Why can’t I hear what you two need to discuss?” she retorted. Lucas, growing impatient, sighed, “Please, just go back. No drama.”

“Lucas, you’re my husband now. Are you planning to stroll down memory lane with Chloe behind my back?” Linda accused, eyes narrowing. “Linda, stop with the nonsense,” Lucas snapped, visibly upset. Seeing him genuinely angry, Linda’s demeanor softened. She realized there was no stopping this conversation.

With a quick change in tone, she said, “Alright, I’ll head in. Just don’t keep me and the baby waiting too long.” With that, she slipped inside.

The yard was dimly lit, casting long shadows around them. An old apple tree stood nearby, its branches bare and scraggly, like a forgotten ghost of its former self. Lucas reflected on how beautiful it once was, much like his relationship with Chloe had been—flourishing and then fading away.

If Chloe knew about his condition, Lucas felt he’d never be able to face her again. Flustered, he snapped, “Chloe, this isn’t your business. Stay out of it.” Chloe rolled her eyes, “I really don’t care about your issues. This is actually for heart problems, but hey, don’t say I didn’t warn you—taking it willy-nilly could mess things up for you big time.”

Chloe felt she had done her part. Even though she and Lucas were practically strangers now, she figured it was only right to give him a heads-up.
