Chapter 80



As soon as she stepped inside, Chloe spotted Connor descending from the second floor. When he saw her, he halted mid-step. "Heading to the office?" Chloe asked casually.

Connor didn't respond; he just stared down at her from his elevated position.

She noticed Connor's expression was anything but cheerful. "Did you wait up for me last night? I told you I had plans and not to wait."

Connor locked eyes with her. "You didn't say you wouldn't be coming home."

Chloe smiled, leaning in to give him a quick, soothing peck on the lips. "Sorry, darling, I'll let you know in advance next time."
