Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover by Rosa Winters

Chapter 1025

Chloe caught a flash of disappointment in Connor's eyes. There was even a hint of a bitter smile tugging at his lips. He didn't look like he was pretending.

If what Grayson said was true-if Connor had really forced himself into her life, and all she'd ever wanted was to escape him-why did he look so let down? Wasn't he the one who kept wishing she'd remember everything?

Finally, Connor spoke up, answering the question she'd asked a few moments before. “Because you lost your memory, I was afraid that even if you knew the whole truth, you still wouldn't want to come with me."

He paused, his voice softer. "But I regret it now. I should've told you everything a long time ago."

But there was more to it, something even more important. Connor had hoped Chloe would remember on her own, because the truth would hit too hard if she heard it with no memories to soften the blow. He didn't want to see her hurt- especially not when it came to telling her that Grayson wasn't really her child.

Now that Lucas had already spilled everything, Connor figured it was better to just let her see the truth for herself, instead of letting Lucas twist things any further.

Chloe's face stayed calm, almost eerily so. She looked like a judge, examining her own past from a distance. She didn't know why, but in that moment, it felt like she'd finally ripped off the perfect wife and mother mask she'd worn when they first met in Japan. For the first time in a long time, she felt like the old Chloe again.

"Did we ever get married?" she asked.

"We did," Connor answered.

"Were we happy?"
