Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

Chapter 150

"Chloe, that's not what I meant."

Chloe scoffed, "Oh really? Are you also blind, Lucas? Can't you tell the difference between genuine love and just playing along?"

Lucas was stunned into silence, but he still couldn't wrap his head around the idea that Chloe could fall for Connor in just a month. Even Tara had had enough. She spoke up, irritation evident in her voice, "Lucas, you're my son, but I can't side with you on this. You've chosen Linda. Did you really expect Chloe to sit around waiting for you forever?"

"I know what happened yesterday. You were right there, yet you let the Meadows family and Linda bully Chloe. How can you now claim Chloe as your wife?

Sometimes, he even wondered if he was adopted.

Lucas hung his head. "Mom, Linda and I have broken up."

His words plunged the room into silence.

Though he spoke to Tara, Lucas glanced at Chloe out of the corner of his eye. To his disappointment,

Tara, on the other hand, was utterly shocked. She thought that the incident with Linda framing Chloe had finally made him see the light.

"You and Linda are really over?"

Lucas nodded, "I've seen her true colors."

In reality, they hadn't officially broken up yet, but at this point, Lucas knew it was inevitable.

"What about the child? What about the baby Linda is carrying?"

Lucas hesitated. "The child... we'll need to figure that out." He hadn't even begun to consider the child.

Connor suddenly chuckled, "Looks
