Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 921

Chloe seemed as cool as a cucumber, with a hint of a satisfied smile playing on her lips. "Yep, it's been five months now."

Lucas was genuinely caught off guard by Chloe's pregnancy news. His face fell for a moment, clearly struggling to process it. Suppressing his surprise, he managed to say, "Well, congrats then."

Chloe kept her serene demeanor, seemingly unfazed by any tension. "Thanks. By the way, my godmother invited me over for dinner tonight. You should come too."

Lucas nodded absentmindedly, "She did mention it."

Chloe gave him a bright smile, "See you tonight then." She turned and headed towards Connor. Lucas watched her walk away, her beaming smile etched in his mind. Memories of their high school days came rushing back—those carefree days when they went to school together, did homework side by side, watched movies, and sometimes even ditched class to catch a concert. Her smile back then was as radiant as sunshine.

It hit Lucas that he hadn't seen Chloe smile like that in ages—so bright, so joyful.

Meanwhile, Connor wrapped an arm around Chloe's waist, whispering something in her ear that made her laugh and playfully punch his chest. He kissed her hair, and they left together, perfectly in sync.

Seeing this, Lucas felt a pang of wistfulness. She looked genuinely happy now. Maybe it was time to truly let go.

That evening, Chloe and Connor headed to the Moncada family home, and Lucas showed up too. Tara was over the moon, thrilled to have everyone together, filling the house with lively chatter.

Belle, very pregnant and due any day, was the center of attention. Juztin had already cleared his schedule to be by her side.

"Did you book the maternity center?" Chloe asked during dinner.

Belle beamed, "Yep, the fanciest one in Eldridge City. Thanks to a sweet endorsement deal, I can stay as long as I want for free."

Moncada International had bounced back financially thanks to the Paradise Resort, so even without the Sartori project, they were on solid ground.

Gordon was shocked, "Why didn't you discuss such a big decision with the family?"

Tara, equally surprised, asked, "Are you going to Japan?"

Lucas nodded, "Yes."

Everyone was taken aback, though Tara had a feeling she understood what was going on in her son's mind.
