Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 148

They enjoyed their dinner immensely. The atmosphere was warm and peaceful. That was until Lucas came back home.

When Lucas returned, slightly drunk, he stumbled into a lively scene at the dining table. Everyone was enjoying dinner, chatting and laughing heartily. To his shock, Chloe was there too. The moment he saw her, his heart felt like it was being squeezed, making it hard to breathe.

He hadn’t gone to the office that day. His phone had been off all day. Instead, he’d been at a bar owned by Wyatt, spilling all his troubles. Wyatt hadn't held back, "You grew up with Chloe, and you still don't know her character? You let some random woman mess with your head, and now you doubt her love for you.

"Now Linda’s pregnant. How are you going to fix things with a kid in the picture?"

Belle was busy with her phone when she suddenly exclaimed, "Connor, he friended me! You're amazing. You're really the best brother-in-law."

Hearing the term "brother-in-law," Lucas felt his blood boil. His fingers clenched, veins bulging on the back of his hand. "Belle, who are you calling brother-in-law?"
