Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel 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.

“I missed you so much…”

The way he said it was different—raw and honest, full of ache. For a split second, Chloe felt the true weight of his longing, simmering beneath the surface for two whole years.

She turned in his arms, cupped his face, and looked into his eyes. “I missed you too.”

Then she kissed him, gently at first. Connor didn’t respond right away. Even though he knew she was really here, it felt surreal—like something out of a dream. He’d pictured this moment so many times, but every time in his dreams, she’d just slip away, vanishing like mist before he could hold on.

He never wanted to feel that kind of emptiness again. He just wanted to look at her, to make sure she was real.

His name.

Connor stared, shock flooding through him. His voice came out rough, barely above a whisper. “Chloe… what happened?”
