Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

They each held a small basket filled with sycamore leaves.

Chloe's eyes instantly filled with tears.

Sycamore trees were her favorite-and they'd remembered.

But what truly made her heart skip a beat was realizing something she hadn't known at all: Connor could walk on his own now.

His steps were still a bit stiff and slow compared to everyone else, but he was moving.

Chloe suddenly thought of all those days and nights, how Connor had secretly pushed himself, working out with everything he had.

All for this moment...

Even so, she knew Connor still couldn't move like a perfectly healthy person. She could see the sweat beading on his forehead.

Every step looked so hard-and so determined.

Chloe didn't hesitate. She ran straight toward Connor.

No matter what, whenever he walked toward her, she'd always rush to meet him. Connor was clearly struggling. His legs shook, but he didn't slow down.noveldrama

Just as he was about to give in, Chloe reached him and threw her arms around him, holding him tight.

For a moment, it felt like their souls were colliding and melting into each other. The audience burst into wild applause and cheers.

Isaac's hands were red from clapping. Tears shimmered in his eyes. "Damn it, there goes my five hundred million."

Taylor, sitting next to him, turned and asked, "Five hundred million what?"

Isaac didn't say a word.

Five minutes earlier-

Isaac stood at the door, hands on Connor's wheelchair. "Are you sure you don't need it? You can barely make it a hundred meters. It's at least double that to the stage. If you fall halfway, it'll be super embarrassing."

Connor answered without hesitation, "My wife won't wait for me to finish. She'll come running to me."

"What kind of bride would do that? It's her wedding-she's supposed to be all elegant and composed."

"She will. I know her."

"Yeah, right!"

"Wanna bet on it?"

"Fine, five hundred million. I could buy an island and take Taylor on a honeymoon."

Back in the present, Taylor kept nudging him. "Isaac, what did you bet? What's this about losing five hundred million?"

Isaac glared at the couple locked in

“There goes our honeymoon fund.”

The wedding was extra lively and warm-full of laughter, love, and happy chaos.

After the guests cleared out, Chloe and Connor stayed behind.

They sat together on a bench in the rooftop garden, gazing up at the night sky.

The night was too perfect to waste on sleep, so Chloe dragged Connor out to keep her company.

Sadly, the city sky was empty-no stars tonight.

Chloe asked, "So you knew already?"

Connor smiled. "Just two days before you did."

"Then why were you training so hard every day?" She'd just thought he was getting ready for the wedding.

Connor leaned in close, voice low and teasing. "I wanted to recover faster, because.... well, let's just say it's not easy to spoil my wifeo otherwise."

Chloe smacked his shoulder. "Can you be serious for once?"

Connor burst out laughing. "That is serious-it's my number one priority!"

Looking at his mischievous grin, Chloe was suddenly taken back to when they first got together.

Back then, he wasn't at all the polished Eldridge Elite. He was just a roguish, lovable troublemaker.

And somehow, she'd fallen for him the minute they met.

Thinking about those wild, unrestrained years, Chloe couldn't help blushing.

Connor noticed and grinned even wider. "Hey, what's going on in that pretty little head of yours?"

Flustered, Chloe's eyes landed on the small flash of blue at his ear.

She reached out to take it off. "Why are you still wearing that earring? It's just a fake gem from my old plastic hair clip. It's so ugly. How long are you planning to keep it?"

Connor dodged away. "No way! I'm never taking it off. It's our love token."

"Who uses a piece of a plastic hair clip as a love token? It's already faded! Take it

off."

"Nope. Not happening. I'm wearing it for life."

[End of Extra]

This really is goodbye now.

Connor and Chloe will be happy forever in their own universe, and I hope each of

you finds your true love, too.

See you in the next book!
