Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

Chloe's confusion only grew deeper. "How do you have a picture of me from when I was little?" Connor's smile, which had barely begun to form, faded away. "How can you still not remember?" Chloe, now incredibly curious, pressed further, "Come on, spill it. Why do you have a photo of me as a kid? Did we actually meet back then?"

Connor, a tad annoyed, snatched the photo frame from Chloe's hands. "Of course, we did."

Chloe was completely taken aback. "We met as kids? When and where?"

Seeing Chloe's face full of curiosity, Connor was a bit surprised himself. "You seriously don't remember? We spent a whole month together, day in and day out, inseparable. You even used to sneak into my bed at night. Does none of this ring a bell?" Chloe was shocked by his words. "What kind of nonsense are you talking about? When did I ever spend all day and night with you, let alone sneak into your bed?"

Chloe had absolutely no memory of any of this.

Connor pouted, "You really don't remember, after I've kept you in my thoughts all these years."

He had seen her as his salvation, the light in his life. The reason she casually gave him to keep going, he had held onto for years. And now she'd grown up and forgotten it all. For the first time, Connor felt like roffing his eyes at her.

Chloe still wouldn't admit it. "Look, don't make things up about me. I've got an excellent memory. I've been able to remember everything since I was two and started talking. I couldn't possibly forget something like that." "You say we met as kids and spent a month together, day and night. I wouldn't forget something like that, so you must be making it up, right?"

For the first time, Connor knew what

it felt like to have an itch in his wisdom tooth, especially with Chloe looking so sure of herself. But in the end, he just sighed, "Fine, I won't argue. You were only four or five years old then. It's normal to forget."

Thinking about how he had completely brought her into his life, Connor's irritation faded away. Now, looking at Chloe, he felt like his once gloomy life was brightened by a beam of light, a hope that would never fade. Connor reached out and gently ruffled Chloe's hair. "Anyway, you won't be able to forget me now."

Chloe was still skeptical. "No way, absolutely no way. You need to explain yourself. I won't forget. My memory is that good. Have you mistaken me for someone else, or is there someone else in your heart?" Chloe rarely made such a fuss. The two quickly got into a playful argument. The outcome was predictable. Chloe ended up being carried off to the lounge.

It wasn't until around nine that they finally started dinner. Not long after they began eating, Chloe got a call This time it was from Leah. Chloe stared at her phone for a few seconds before answering, "Hey, Mom, what's up?"

Hearing Chloe willingly call her "Mom," Leah was thrilled. Her voice was gentle, "Chloe, honey, your dad's got a friend who just came back from abroad. We're planning to visit him the day after tomorrow. Are you free?"
