Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover by Rosa Winters

Chapter 1011

But the memories were just too blurry.

It was like peering through a thick curtain-no matter how hard she tried, Chloe couldn't bring them into focus.

Still, as she watched Connor's broad shoulders disappear into the kitchen, she couldn't shake the feeling that there was more between them than just a casual acquaintance. There had to be.

Yet, one thing had her completely stumped:

Why did Tim keep calling her "Mom"?

She was still lost in thought when a mouthwatering aroma drifted through the air.

The two kids, who'd been complaining about their empty stomachs for a while, immediately perked up.

"What's that smell? It's amazing!"

Connor came out of the kitchen carrying a steaming pot of soup. "Dinner's ready, everyone."

The kids barely waited a second-they dashed straight to the table.

Chloe followed, still a little stunned.

She couldn't believe it: in just half an hour, Connor had whipped up a full meal— four dishes and a soup.

There were sweet and sour ribs, stir-fried shrimp with eggs, beef with green peppers, sautéed veggies, and a fragrant mushroom soup.

Chloe gaped at the spread. "How did you do all this?"
