Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

In the past, Lucas would always deny any accusations and comfort her gently. But today, he was feeling unusually restless. He didn't feel like saying a single word.

Linda stared at Lucas, her uncertainty growing. If Lucas wavered, they might actually reconcile, and all her plans would be ruined. Linda clutched Lucas' sleeve, her eyes misting over. Her voice was soft and tender, almost pleading, "Luca, can you divorce Chloe, please?"

Lucas looked down at Linda. This was the first time she had made such a request in all the years they had been together. Linda looked up at him, her eyes shimmering with tears, looking innocent and pitiful like a wounded rabbit left for dead. She hoped to stir his feelings of pity and the desire to protect her.

In the past, Lucas would have softened. But now, he knew that her innocence was just a façade. She wasn't as pure and uninvolved as she appeared. Otherwise, her computer wouldn't be filled with fabricated scandals about Chloe. Linda had no idea that he and Chloe were never officially married. Without a marriage certificate, there was no divorce to speak of.

But for some reason, Lucas didn't feel like explaining all this to Linda, especially not now. "Didn't you say you didn't care about these false pretenses as long as I was by your side?"

Linda was surprised to hear Lucas say this. He had previously said he would eventually make her his wife. Moreover, right now, Lucas' eyes were cold and sharp, alien and distant, as if he were a completely different person.

Linda quickly said, "I'm not forcing you to divorce Chloe, but today, she deliberately said things that made my colleagues look at me as if I were the other woman. I can ignore my own reputation, but I don't want our child to be born into criticism and judgment."

Her voice seemed to reach a peak of grievance. "After the child is born, do we really have to leave the father's name unknown?"

Lucas was deeply troubled. But the mention of the child made him restrain himself. He then said, "We'll talk about this later. Anyway, I won't let you and the baby suffer."

Lucas' attitude chilled Linda's heart. Before they came back to the country, Lucas wasn't like this. He had said he would take responsibility for the baby, clear the path for them, and ensure Linda took Chloe's place gloriously. But since coming back and encountering Chloe, everything had changed.

She could sense Lucas' indecision and hesitation. Deep down, he despised Chloe because of that unresolved issue in his heart. If he found out that all their problems were Linda's doing, it would be over

cooperative, she would have to push Chloe herself. Linda already had a plan in mind.

Meanwhile, after Chloe got into Connor's car, she leaned lazily against the window, watching the scenery Outside. Connor, seeing her languid demeanor, knew she was in a bad mood. He directly grabbed her soft, delicate hand. "Chloe, don't think about other men."

Chloe turned her head to look at him, his handsome profile making her smile. "I really miss the old days. You used to be so sweet and gentle. How did you become so domineering?"
