Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

Chloe played coy, asking, "What are you up to?"

Connor's lips curled into a mischievous grin. "Thinking."

Ever since Chloe got pregnant, Connor had been extra cautious not to touch her.

Chloe lay on the bed, her eyes shimmering like a gentle stream, her long hair draping down like a waterfall.

She lazily wrapped her arms around Connor's neck and whispered in his ear, like

a seductive siren, "Then be gentle."

Connor's kiss landed on her lips, as possessive as ever, yet tender and restrained.

As they were wrapped up in each other, Chloe suddenly tapped Connor on the shoulder. "Hold on a sec."

Connor was in no mood to stop now, his hands wandering down her waist as he murmured, "I'll be even gentler."

But Chloe started pushing him away. "Connor, get up."

Connor sensed something was off and grew concerned. "What's going on?"noveldrama

Chloe, with a burst of excitement, pointed at her belly. "It moved... it moved..." Connor was puzzled. "What moved?"

Chloe was practically bouncing with excitement. "I think he just kicked me." Connor replied, "You're only three months along. Isn't it too soon for that?" Chloe frowned. "He's in my belly. Wouldn't I know? He definitely just kicked me."

The sensation was magical to Chloe, like a tiny fish swimming inside her.

For the first time, she truly felt the presence of a living being within her.

Chloe suddenly gave Connor a warning glance. "Don't touch me. The baby protested. He must be uncomfortable in there."

Connor rubbed his forehead, caught between laughter and exasperation.

What was supposed to be a moment of rekindling turned into a prenatal bonding session.

But deep down, Connor was thrilled. He placed his big hand over Chloe's belly.

"Hello, little one, I'm your dad. I hope you're

because if you're a!

we're have a chat who above

get here."

Chloe playfully pinched Connor's arm. "What nonsense are you talking?"

Connor suddenly remembered something. "Hey, when's your mentor coming back?"

Chloe was puzzled. "Why are you asking about that?"

Connor admitted, "I just want to know why he once said you couldn't have kids."

Chloe chuckled softly. She hadn't expected Connor to still be hung up on that.

"My mentor is just an old charlatan, and I have no idea where he is now. I'll ask around tomorrow."

Chloe's life was finally getting back on track.

She started going back to work, though she hadn't seen her friend recently.

She knew that when she was

kidnapped by Claire, he had pulled!

yerings to help the Shawa

i families find her.

Chloe felt quite grateful for that.

Grant had recently gone abroad, so he hadn't attended Winston and Cassie's wedding the day before.

Chloe brought him some wedding favors, delivering them to his office early in the morning.

As she walked in, she saw Grant behind his desk, staring at his computer.

When he saw Chloe, he closed the laptop.

Chloe was surprised to see him. "When did you get back? I thought you were still away."

Grant interlaced his fingers, resting them

stead his lips, his voice calm and

steady. "Just got off the plane not long ago."

"Why don't you go home and rest?" Chloe walked over. "Don't worry, the company

won't crumble without you."

Grant chuckled, which was rare. "When did you start coming into the office?"

"Just today," Chloe replied.
