Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 928

Watching the little one munching on their toes, Connor felt his heart ache multiply tenfold, maybe even a hundredfold. When Chloe returned from the Shaw family's place, she was still in a foul mood. Everyone was surprised to see her back so soon.

Since tying the knot, Cassie had been living at the Shaw's. Tonight, she had set up a card game there, and the room buzzed with lively chatter and laughter. When Chloe walked in, everyone was thrilled and invited her to join the fun. But Chloe turned them down, saying she needed some alone time. Immediately, everyone sensed something was off, exchanging worried looks.

Winston was the first to break the silence, "Chloe's a bit off today. She looks upset."

Wayne jumped in, "And she came back by herself. Did Connor do something to upset her?"

Isaac waved his hand dismissively. "The whole world could annoy her, but Connor? Not a chance. You guys haven't seen how he is around her—completely smitten."

Isaac worked closely with Connor, so they were often in each other's company.

"So, what's eating Chloe?" Kash stood up, offering, "I'll go chat with her."

Wayne and Isaac also got up, but Cassie stopped them, "I'll handle it."

Everybody knew Cassie and Chloe had been best friends since they were kids, so she was the perfect person for the task.

Cassie made her way to Chloe's room, giving the door a gentle knock. It opened quickly, and she stepped inside to find Chloe sitting in the dark. Concern etched across Cassie's face as she switched on the light and moved closer to Chloe. Squatting down to look her friend in the eye, she asked, "Have you been crying?"

Cassie knew Chloe rarely cried. Truth was, Chloe hadn't shed any tears; her eyes were just red from eating spicy food and the frustration bubbling from her last run-in with Connor.
