Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 74

During dinner, Jacob asked, "Chloe, why didn't Lucas come with you?"

"He's busy with work," Chloe muttered, trying to brush off the topic.

The Meadows and the Moncada families were really good friends. Jacob probably already knew about her and Lucas breaking up long before she felt the need to explain.

"Busy with work, huh? I heard Lucas has been shacking up with some other woman since he got back, and he doesn't want anything to do with you," Lisa chimed in, her tone sharp.

Jacob shot Lisa a stern look, then sighed. "You and Lucas have been childhood sweethearts. This is just a bump in the road. We've watched Lucas grow up, and he's always been devoted to you. I believe if you just put a bit more effort in, he'll come to his senses eventually."

Both families were well aware of the situation between Lucas and Chloe. Jacob likely had Chloe come over for dinner at the Moncada family's urging.

"Dad, I know my own business," Chloe replied, trying to keep things calm.

Sensing the tension, Jacob didn't push further. Lisa noticed Jacob's concern for Chloe, and decided to cut in. "Dad, Mom, I have an announcement."
