Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

Chapter 594



Lucas was on edge: "Do you really not care at all about our past?"

"Mr. Lucas, only those who can't stand on their own rely on memories to manipulate feelings. They've got nothing else to offer and no faith in the future."

Lucas felt the sting in those words.

Connor was unwavering, calm as a still lake.

He radiated an unshakeable confidence, a certain strength.

Lucas looked down: "You're way more steadfast than I ever was. If I'd had your resolve back then, I wouldn't have let a diary come between me and Chloe because of Linda's meddling."

Lucas placed the diary on the coffee table, sliding it over.

"From page 67 on, Linda faked Chloe's writing. I fell for her lies, blamed Chloe, and that's why we split. It was all Linda's doing."

Connor glanced at the diary, his brow furrowing slightly.

He truly hadn't known about it.

Connor's lips curled into a chilly smirk, letting out a scoff: "I always thought you and Linda were the real deal."

"You did so much for her, turned your back on your family, took all that flak, just to be with her. In a way, I admired your guts, Mr. Lucas."

A flash of bitterness crossed Lucas's face: "I was fooled by that scheming woman."

Connor's eyes showed a flicker of doubt.

"If you knew Linda was manipulative, why marry her and throw such a big wedding?"

Lucas's eyes flickered: "That's between me and Linda."

Connor wasn't interested in digging deeper.

He reached out and picked up the diary from the table.

"If this diary belongs to Chloe, I'll take it and make sure it gets back to her."

He looked up at Lucas: "About this

secret you mentioned, have you decided if you're gonna spill it?"

Lucas hesitated under that gaze.

Connor's stare was cold and piercing, like a blade cutting through fog.

Lucas had mentioned a secret just to lure Connor there.

He did have a huge secret.

But it was one he couldn't share with anyone, especially not Connor.

Yet, under that intense scrutiny...

Lucas felt a pang of guilt.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

Like the secret had already been laid bare.

Lucas avoided Connor's gaze: "The secret Wanted to share is all in 1

look when you get home."

Connor raised an eyebrow: "I won't look at it. I'm not like you. Knowing it holds your youthful memories would make me uneasy. Besides, I know those things mean nothing to us; they're just your fleeting dreams. Why should I care?"

With that, he stood to leave.

Lucas sat on the sofa, stunned.

Yeah, those were just the dreams of his younger days.

Connor turned to leave, but found the lounge door wouldn't budge.
