Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 173

Winston suddenly remembered something. “Oh, by the way, your phone was going off earlier. I answered it for you.”

Chloe grabbed her phone and saw Connor had called. “What did you say?”

“I just told him I was a friend and that you were crashing at my place for the night,” Winston replied, looking innocent.

Chloe felt a headache creeping in. “How did he react?”

Winston shrugged, “He just hung up.”

Chloe massaged her temples. She could already picture Connor losing his cool. But she knew her situation was a mess. Connor only knew about her insomnia, not the multitude of other issues or her past. She intended to keep it that way.

Her temples throbbed even more. She didn’t have the energy to explain anything right now. Besides, she had another problem to solve.

Chloe dozed off again at Winston’s place. When she woke up, it was already 8 a.m. Winston had left for his private clinic, leaving the house eerily quiet.

This wasn’t her first stay here. During a previous rough patch, she had spent a significant amount of time at Winston’s, so she knew the place like the back of her hand.

Winston’s home was a luxury apartment on the top floor of a swanky neighborhood. The living room had floor-to-ceiling windows, offering a stunning view. Barefoot, Chloe stood by the window, staring at the bustling traffic below. The endless stream of cars on the overpass looked like the city’s pulsing heartbeat.
