Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 640

Tara was genuinely pleased to hear that.

"Exactly, he’s the spitting image of Luca when he was a kid. This little one is just too adorable, with a nose and mouth just like Luca’s, but those eyes..."

Tara nearly let something slip.

She was tempted to say they reminded her a bit of Chloe's.

She couldn't quite put her finger on why.

Chloe had grown up right before her eyes.

Back then, Tara had always wished for a daughter, so she doted on Chloe.

She vividly remembered what Chloe looked like as a newborn.

And when this little guy opened his eyes, there was an uncanny resemblance to baby Chloe.

Tara felt it was destiny.

But she kept that thought to herself, worried Chloe might read too much into it.

After all, Chloe was now married with a family and had drawn a line with Lucas.

So, best to keep those thoughts to herself.

Tara smiled softly, "The eyes do remind me of Linda’s—big, doe-eyed, and so innocent."

Chloe didn’t know why, but looking at the child made her heart melt, while also stirring up an unexpected sadness.

She lingered in the nursery for a bit before deciding to head out.

Just as she was leaving, she happened to pass by Lucas's room.

Chloe paused without thinking.

Eventually, she knocked on the door.

Silence.

Chloe pushed the door open.

Lucas was sprawled out on the floor, surrounded by empty bottles.

The room reeked of booze and smoke.

"You don’t give a damn about anything—not even avenging Linda. You're only wrapped up in your own misery, ignoring your child."

"Lucas, you're acting like a selfish and useless man."

The freezing water shocked Lucas awake.

He shivered, but slowly, a spark returned to his eyes.

After a while, he finally asked, "Who wanted to kill you?"

Chloe was surprised he showed concern for her first.

Seeing Lucas had sobered up a bit, Chloe turned off the water.

She spoke calmly, "Lisa."

A flicker of shock crossed Lucas’s face.

Chloe continued, "I won’t let her get away with it. You’ll see her downfall. Linda’s death won’t be for nothing."

"So, get it together. Stop acting like you’ve given up. Remember, you said you hated Linda for deceiving you, for tormenting you, even wished you could strangle her. Now she’s gone, just as you wanted. So, what’s with the despair?"
