Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

By the way these two were acting, it was pretty clear that the kid's mom wasn't around. Chloe couldn't help but ask, "Hope you don't mind me asking, but where's the child's mom?" Connor finally turned to her and said, "She's gone." Chloe was left wondering what "gone" really meant. Was it a separation, a divorce, or something more permanent? But she knew better than to dig into someone's personal life.

Interestingly enough, Connor seemed just as curious about her. "I heard you have a son, Ms. Rose?" he asked. The mention of Aaron brought a tender smile to Chloe's face, her eyes softening. "Yes, my son's name is Aaron. He's always wanted a little brother. I bet he'd be thrilled to meet your kid."noveldrama

Connor jumped at the chance, "Well, how about we drop by tonight?" Chloe was a bit surprised but responded politely, "Aaron had a busy day and is already asleep. We'll be around tomorrow, maybe we can meet then."

Connor nodded in agreement. Before long, they arrived at the Disney Hotel. Little Tim had dozed off on Chloe's shoulder. Before stepping into the elevator, Chloe gently handed Tim back to Connor. "It's getting late; maybe we can catch up tomorrow."

Chloe's offer was more out of politeness; after all, the man was still a stranger to her. Yet, there was something about the father-son duo that stirred up an unexplainable feeling inside her—a mix of unfamiliarity and a touch of sadness. Maybe it was the thought of a young child without a mother, or perhaps the stories she saw hidden in the man's eyes. His gaze was filled with sorrow and a hint of despair, tugging at her heartstrings.

As Chloe stepped into the elevator, she waved them off. "You guys should get some rest too." Just as the elevator doors were closing, Connor stepped in with his son, catching Chloe off guard. He glanced at the floor number she pressed and quickly said, "We're on the 9th floor too." Chloe chuckled, "What a small world."

They all got off the elevator together, and soon Chloe was at her room's door. Connor paused as well. "You go on ahead. I'll be off then," Connor said. Chloe wasn't sure what to make of him, but his calm demeanor didn't match her gut feeling that he was searching for something, looking for answers. He seemed tense, like he was trying to figure something out.

Pushing aside the strange vibe, Chloe knocked on the door since Grayson had the key card. The door swung open almost immediately, and there stood Lucas, grinning, holding a tub of ice cream. Like a kid who'd just done something impressive, he offered the ice cream to Chloe. "Look, I got your favorite almond- flavored ice cream." His proud and joyful expression quickly turned to stone when he noticed the man standing behind Chloe.
