Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 90

In the past, Lucas would always deny any accusations and comfort her gently. But today, he was feeling unusually restless. He didn't feel like saying a single word.

Linda stared at Lucas, her uncertainty growing. If Lucas wavered, they might actually reconcile, and all her plans would be ruined. Linda clutched Lucas' sleeve, her eyes misting over. Her voice was soft and tender, almost pleading, "Luca, can you divorce Chloe, please?"

Lucas looked down at Linda. This was the first time she had made such a request in all the years they had been together. Linda looked up at him, her eyes shimmering with tears, looking innocent and pitiful like a wounded rabbit left for dead. She hoped to stir his feelings of pity and the desire to protect her.

In the past, Lucas would have softened. But now, he knew that her innocence was just a façade. She wasn't as pure and uninvolved as she appeared. Otherwise, her computer wouldn't be filled with fabricated scandals about Chloe. Linda had no idea that he and Chloe were never officially married. Without a marriage certificate, there was no divorce to speak of.

But for some reason, Lucas didn't feel like explaining all this to Linda, especially not now. "Didn’t you say you didn’t care about these false pretenses as long as I was by your side?"

Linda was surprised to hear Lucas say this. He had previously said he would eventually make her his wife. Moreover, right now, Lucas' eyes were cold and sharp, alien and distant, as if he were a completely different person.
