Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

Since he was still out of sorts, now was their best shot at getting away.

For once, Lucas felt like luck was finally on his side.

As long as they slipped away before Connor caught up, finding them again would be nearly impossible-a needle in a haystack.

Lucas gazed seriously into Chloe's eyes. "These past two years, it's just been us. Your world is me, and mine is you. The three of us-we're a family. Nothing will ever tear us apart. Think of this as a trip, an adventure. I know you're worried about Tim, but look at it this way: he's the precious son of the wealthiest family, heir to everything. Even without a mother, he'll never lack love. Compared to Aaron, Tim already has more than enough."

Lucas stood, called Aaron over, and grabbed their bags. At the door, he paused. "Rose, it's time."

Chloe didn't budge.

Aaron looked up at him. "Dad, where are we going?"

"We're moving to a new home," Lucas answered.

Aaron, always earnest, asked, "Can I go say goodbye to Tim?"

Lucas's expression darkened. "Aaron, I'll say it again: he's not your brother." His

tone was icy, the words sharp and old-fashioned, full of warning.

Even Grayson stepped back, startled.

Lucas patted Aaron's shoulder. "Go get your mom."

Aaron shuffled over to the sofa. "Mom, Dad says we're going on a trip."

Suddenly, Chloe pulled Aaron into a tight hug.

In the end, they made it to the airport.

Lucas finally let out a breath. They were almost free.

Connor, you think you're unstoppable, but this time, you've really lost.

Across town-

Connor watched the whole scene from a security office near the airport. Teddy stood beside him, looking anxious.

They'd tracked the flight and knew the destination was Vancouver, but once they boarded, who knew what might happen when they landed? Lucas was slippery-a real old fox. noveldrama

"Lucas is shameless. Honestly, you should've broken his legs back then," Teddy muttered.

Connor kept his eyes on the monitors, silent.

Teddy nudged, "Aren't you going to stop them? What if they really leave?"

Connor's voice was steady. "She won't go."

He was gambling too.

One way or another, he wasn't letting that plane take off tonight.

But he wanted to see Chloe's choice with his own eyes.

Would she really do what Lucas said?

Meanwhile―

Chloe and Lucas waited in the VIP lounge.

Lucas checked his watch, then called over, "Rose, it's time. We should go."

Chloe stayed put on the sofa.

He called her again.

She didn't move.

A knot tightened in Lucas's chest.

He walked over. "Rose, what's wrong?"

Lucas froze, stunned by her words.
