Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 993

Chloe paused for a moment, feeling a bit thrown off.

"What do you mean, Hawaii?"

Connor picked up on the odd vibe immediately.

"Mind if I ask, how's Ms. Rose's father doing?"

Chloe looked even more confused. "My father passed away a long time ago, why do you ask?"

Grayson had mentioned to her before that her parents were long gone, leaving her with only Grayson and Aaron.

Connor's heart began to race. Something was definitely off. Why did the neighbors say they went back to Hawaii to visit a critically ill father? Why did they disappear for a day and then pop up at Disneyland the next? It was like they were hiding from something. And the woman standing in front of him seemed blissfully unaware. Clearly, the issue lay with her husband.

Connor kept his eyes fixed on her, feeling a strange emotion bubble up inside.

Noticing his silence, Chloe decided to excuse herself. "I should be getting back."

Just then, little Tim clung tightly to Chloe's leg. "Mommy, pick me up! I want Mommy to pick me up..."

Chloe glanced at the adorable, chubby little boy, feeling a bit torn. The fireworks show had ended. It was time to head back. But the man standing there didn't seem eager to take the boy. Instead, he asked, "Ms. Rose, where are you staying tonight?"

Chloe's heart felt like it had been struck. Unintentionally, she glanced at the man's eyes. His gaze was dark and deep, brimming with countless emotions, like an ocean—vast and dangerous. Yet, the most prominent emotion was sadness. A sadness so profound, it seemed etched into his very being, overflowing from his eyes.

Chloe’s heart felt a sharp pang, like it had been cut. It actually hurt a bit. In that instant, she couldn't bring herself to meet his eyes again. She turned her head to look straight ahead.

In a gentle voice, she asked, "So, do I really look that much like his mom?"

After two mix-ups, Chloe could piece together some of the truth. Connor's gaze stayed fixed on her profile. "Very much so, exactly the same."

Chloe's heart skipped a beat once more.
