Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

He couldn't shake Chloe from his mind, and relying on the Sartori family's charity wasn't something he was keen on. Sadly, he realized his true feelings a little too late.

Connor chimed in, "I've heard about that amusement park project. Sounds solid. From what I gather, it'll be at least a three-year endeavor."

Jeffery sighed, "Well, Luca's in charge of the company now. Let him call the shots."

Despite Lucas being a bit of a mess emotionally, he was diligent and detailed in his work. The Paradise Resort project had proven his capabilities to Jeffery. That's why he had already stepped back and handed the reins over to Lucas.

Chloe didn't have any strong feelings about it. In fact, she thought it was a good thing. Lucas had grown up alongside her. Sure, he could be a bit of a macho and somewhat soft-hearted, but he wasn't a bad guy. Both of them had been overly sheltered by their families. Life's challenges were necessary for growth. Letting him shoulder some responsibility and explore the world seemed like a positive step to Chloe.

However, there was one concern that weighed on her mind. "What about Ethan?" she asked.

Tara had mentioned that Lucas was very attentive to his son now, even driving two hours just to be with him at night. Lucas responded, "My son will come with me. He doesn't have a mother anymore, and I don't want him growing up without a father."

Lucas had come to this firm decision just today, after learning that Chloe was pregnant. Suddenly, he felt that Summer's other identity didn't matter anymore. But to him, it still meant everything. That secret would remain buried with Linda forever.

After dinner, Chloe went to check on Summer. The child had grown noticeably, now able to stand by holding onto a chair and even take a few steps. His bright, clear eyes were like little grapes. Chloe played with him for a while.

Connor was there too. Holding Summer, he asked, "Ethan, tell your godfather, is the baby in your godmother's tummy a brother or a

Ser?"

Summer seemed to glance at Chloe's belly and then, in his sweet little voice, said, "Brother, brother..."

Connor, not satisfied, teased, "No, it's a sister! Sister!"

"Brother, brother!" Summer insisted.

"Sister!" Connor playfully countered.

Chloe burst into laughter at Connor's playful antics. Before long, Juztin and Belle joined them, and Connor quietly slipped out. He spotted Tara coming over and approached her. "Hey, Godmother, I need to ask you something. Can we chat in private?" noveldrama

Tara looked a bit surprised but nodded. They walked to the end of the hallway. "Connor, what's up?"

Connor asked, "Did Chloe ever go to Eldridge City's Center Hospital for treatment when she was about five?"

He was aware of the connections

between the Meadows and

Moncada families. Plus, with Chloe and Lucas being childhood sweethearts, Tara had always treated her like her own daughter. Tara nodded, recalling, "Yes, Chloe had this condition as a child. She'd get these unexplained dizzy spells, sometimes so severe she'd faint. It was particularly bad when she was five; she fainted several times in kindergarten. They took her to every major hospital in Riverbrook but found nothing, so her mom took her to the Community Hospital."

Connor pressed, "Did they ever figure out what was causing it?"
