Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover by Rosa Winters

Chapter 1048

For Connor, this was the best news he'd heard in ages.

He left the hospital in a great mood, the sky already fading into evening. Just as he was thinking about heading home, his phone buzzed again-Teddy's name flashed on the screen.

Connor picked up with a sigh. "Teddy, this better be important."

Teddy had been off in la-la land all day at the office. Halfway through meetings, he'd suddenly start rambling about his upcoming wedding, and Connor had almost booted him out of the building more than once.

Teddy sounded sheepish. "Boss, my fiancée wants to invite you and Chloe to dinner."

Connor paused, then said, "Alright. Let's meet at Pure White."

When Connor and Chloe arrived, Teddy and his fiancée were already waiting in one of Pure White's private rooms. The four of them had shared meals before over the last couple of years, so it wasn't awkward.

Connor shrugged off his suit jacket and draped it over the back of his chair, settling in. "You've met Teddy," he said to Chloe, "and this is his fiancée, Maddie."

Maddie looked gorgeous in a gold fringed dress-elegant, a little glamorous, totally confident. She stepped over and shook Chloe's hand. "Chloe, we actually knew each other before."

Teddy had already told her about Chloe's amnesia. Maddie wasn't surprised; after all, she'd seen Grant do that terrible acupuncture herself. She knew exactly what Chloe had been through.
