Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover by Rosa Winters

Chapter 1063

Connor couldn't shake the strange feeling in his chest. When did Grandpa ever have guests? Then again, he hadn't been back much these last two years. Most of his time was spent with the Shaw family, mostly because Marian had come back to Riverbrook. After Claire died, his second sister and Madison had started treating him differently-checking in on him, actually caring about how he was doing. But now, both of them were abroad.

And Jeffery... well, Connor had no idea what happened there. For almost two years, Jeffery had basically disappeared from everyone's lives. He wouldn't see anyone, not even his old friends. The only times he'd come out were when Connor brought Tim over for a visit, and then he'd join them for dinner. But even that-Jeffery's hair had gone completely white in these two years. Connor could tell Jeffery was keeping secrets. Ever since Claire passed, whatever he was hiding had just exploded out, and now, Connor was starting to think it had something to do with the Grevenberg family.

Chloe and Connor headed back to their room. As soon as the door closed, Connor slipped his arms around her from behind, holding her close. Chloe intertwined her fingers with his, hugging his arms to her chest. He pressed his face into her hair, his voice soft and strained, thick with longing.
