Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

Chloe set the gift box on Grant's desk with a smile. "These are Isaac's wedding candies. I thought I'd spread a little joy your way."

Grant accepted them with a nod. "Thanks."

Chloe continued, "Well, I'll be heading out now."

Grant chimed in, "How about we grab breakfast together? I haven't had a bite yet."

Chloe shook her head. "I've already eaten, and my morning sickness is awful these days. Even the faintest whiff of cooking makes me queasy."

She really wasn't exaggerating.

Grant's eyes drifted to her slightly rounded belly. Then, out of the blue, he said, "I remember your mentor once advised you it's okay to date and marry, but having kids wasn't a good idea."

Back then, Chloe was just a teenager. One day, after checking her pulse, her mentor had casually dropped that bombshell.

Chloe had been utterly baffled by it.

But her mentor was known for his quirky ways.

She didn't dwell on it much, though it did occasionally make her wonder.

She had always thought of him as a remarkable man. The seriousness with which he'd delivered that advice suggested there might have been more to it.

Now that she was expecting, it was nagging at her.

She wanted to find him and get some clarity.

"Grant, do you have any idea where my mentor might be these days?" Chloe asked.

The last she'd heard, he was somewhere near Paradise Island. But he was elusive and hadn't shown up then either.

Grant shrugged. "Honestly, no clue."

Chloe pursed her lips. "Why do you think he said I shouldn't have kids?"

Grant's expression darkened, his brow furrowing slightly. "I... I really don't know."

Chloe sighed. "Oh well, maybe he was just rambling."

Chloe left the office, leaving Grant's expression as unreadable as ever.

The following days passed quietly.

Despite some media buzz, Sartori Corporation and DreamMaker weathered it well, thanks to Connor's deft handling.

With things steady at work, Connor had more time to spend with Chloe.

So, Connor took on the task himself, delivering meals to her office every day.

The staff at QUEEN were both envious and impressed. Connor arrived just as Chloe was stepping out of a meeting.

Seeing him with a lunchbox, the crowd couldn't help but tease.

Samantha nudged Chloe playfully. "Your Mr. Connor is quite the domestic god."

Chloe beamed and linked her arm through Connor's. "Why are you so early today?"

"Just couldn't wait to see you," he replied with a grin.

The crowd erupted with playful comments. "I was hungry, but now I'm stuffed with love!"

Grant was there too.

Connor, ever the gracious host, offered, "Mr. Grant, care to join us for lunch?"

Connor always made sure to extend an invite whenever he saw Grant.

Grant, keeping his cool, replied, "You two enjoy. I'll head to the cafeteria."

Chloe and Connor went back to her office.

Chloe asked, "Why do you always invite my friend? You never actually make extra for him."

Connor smirked, "I just love seeing his baffled face."

Chloe chuckled, "You're such a kid."

Just as they started eating, Chloe's phone rang.

It was Isaac.

After hearing him out, her face turned pale.noveldrama
