Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover



Once again, Chloe found herself wrapped in the lively glow of fireworks. Strolling through the bustling food market, her mood had completely transformed. She had wiped off her makeup, letting her hair fall into a high ponytail with waves cascading down her back.

Connor glanced at the woman beside him. Even without makeup, her delicate features were striking, especially her eyes, which seemed to hold entire galaxies. Among the crowd of college students, she blended in perfectly, looking just like one of them. It was still the same face, yet she seemed like a different person, with a whole new vibe.

Connor couldn't help but feel a twinge of regret. In just five minutes, two college guys had already approached, trying to get her number. Naturally, Connor had stepped in to ward them off, making it clear she was with him. He boldly took Chloe's hand.

Chloe teased him, "You really think I'd fall for these young boys?"

Connor shot back, "Who knows? You might still have a thing for Trophy Boys."

Chloe rolled her eyes. Her Trophy Boy was none other than him, right? Was she competing with herself here?

Eventually, Chloe led him to her favorite barbecue joint. This place was a local legend, having been around the college town for decades. Chloe used to love coming here for their grilled fish. As they settled down, she confidently ordered and started introducing the dishes to Connor.

"This place is fantastic. I used to come here all the time. It may look small, but the flavors are genuine, just as good as any Michelin-starred restaurant. The owner even patented his recipe and opened hundreds of franchises across the country, becoming a billionaire," Chloe explained with a smile. “But he's a humble guy, still running this little shop. His son manages the franchises."

Connor was pleasantly surprised. "Who would've thought there'd be such a hidden gem here?" he remarked. Then he asked, "How do you know all this?"

Chloe seemed about to reveal

something but then decided against it. She gave Connor a bright smile, handed, the menu to the waiter, and poured him a glass of water. "How I know isn't important. What matters is the barbecue here is amazing, and you should try a lot."

Connor noticed Chloe was acting a bit mysterious.

Soon, the barbecue arrived, served by the owner herself. As she was about to leave, she did a double-take at Chloe and exclaimed, "Isn't this Chloe? You are Chloe, right?"

Chloe responded warmly, "Hey, it's been a while."

The owner was delighted, holding Chloe's hand and reminiscing, "It's been so many years, and you haven't changed a bit, still as beautiful ever. My son still talks about you." After meeting you, he set his standards so high, he doesn't find any girl interesting, still single."

With a bit of a sigh, she added, "If you hadn't already had a boyfriend back then, who knows, you might've been my daughter-in-law."All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Then she shifted gears, "Speaking of

which, you two must be thinking about marriage by now." She turned to Connor with a smile, but upon seeing his face, she paused, a little unsure, "Mr. Lucas, you seem to have changed quite a bit..."
