Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover by Rosa Winters

Chapter 1016

The hand holding the water glass stilled for a moment.

"Connor, yeah, Chloe and I have known each other since we were kids. It's true- you married her, you had a child together, you two were a real couple for a time. But for the past two years, Chloe and I have been married, too. That's a fact you can't change, no matter how much you want to.”

"You and I—we're both just pawns in this mess. Maybe you see me as the one who stole her from you, but from where I'm standing, aren't you the same?”

"So, Connor, you and I are no different to Chloe anymore. The only difference is, you're her ex-husband and I'm the one beside her now. She doesn't even remember you. Why are you still holding on?"

Lucas tried to reason with Connor, hoping to get through to him.

He wanted Connor to understand that he and Chloe were married now, for real, in the eyes of everyone.

Maybe, if Connor started to feel bitter about Chloe, Lucas would have a chance to convince him to let go.

"Lucas, don't lump me in with you. I never cheated, never betrayed her, never walked away. Don't act like we're the same. So what if you've been with her for two years? I see right through you. Even if she's with you now, I'm not going to hold it against her because you set this whole thing up. You're only telling me all this because you think I'll start resenting her, but that's just your own guilt talking. You're the one who's bothered by her past with me, so you assume I'd feel the same. Lucas, someone like you doesn't deserve Chloe's love."

Connor's words left Lucas pale, then red with humiliation.

"No matter what you say, Lucas, I'm not backing down. I'll help Chloe get her memories back."
