Chapter 723

Chloe chuckled softly, "I just love seeing you get all jealous."

Connor put on a fake stern face, "Babe, that's not fair play."

Chloe reached out to scratch his chin again but paused, remembering that Connor wasn't a fan of it. He was sensitive about being treated like a trophy husband, feeling that such playful gestures were belittling. Chloe didn't see it that way, but she respected his feelings.

Chloe almost burst into laughter but managed to give him a quick scratch before withdrawing her hand.

"You're seeing Cassie tomorrow, right?" Connor asked.

Chloe nodded, "Yeah, part of why she came to Riverbrook was because of me. Now I'm heading off to Eldridge City, and I feel a bit bad about leaving her behind."

"Don't worry, she'll tag along," Connor assured her.
