Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 1104

Lucas broke down in tears. “Aaron, I’m sorry. I haven’t been a good person, and I’ve been an even worse father. You have every right to be angry with me, to hate me if you want. I’ve let everyone down.”

He’d never felt regret like this before—not until now.

“Aaron, from now on, Uncle Connor will be your dad. He’ll do a much better job than I ever could. Go ahead, hate me, blame me. Honestly, it might be better if you just forgot about me.”

He stood up and walked away without looking back.

Summer watched him go, his figure disappearing into the night, and finally let her own tears fall. She dropped her head and whispered, “I won’t hate you. You’ll always be my dad.”

A few minutes later, Connor rolled over in his wheelchair, Chloe quietly by his side. They’d seen everything.

Some people just never want to grow up, and Lucas was one of them. He’d always run from his responsibilities, always found ways to avoid facing reality. Deep down, he was still a child—maybe even less mature than Aaron. Even now, he couldn’t see things from his own kid’s point of view.

Connor didn’t say anything right away. He just watched as Summer picked up her Rubik’s cube, turning it in her hands like nothing had happened.

He’d talked with Summer about stuff like this before, but she was still just a kid—there was no way she could really understand how messy and complicated adults could be.

Finally, Connor spoke. “Aaron, can I tell you my story? I was born under a curse too. My real mom—she was actually my oldest sister, at least on paper…”

Connor talked for a long time, and Summer listened, quiet and thoughtful.

Chloe came by a few times but never interrupted.

“I know. Thank you… Dad Connor,” Summer said softly.

Connor froze. “What did you call me?”

Summer looked up, a shy smile on her face. “Well, I’m living with you now. I figured I’d end up calling you Dad eventually, so why not start now?”

She stood up. “Dad Connor, I’m going to bed. You should rest too. Good night.”

She left the room, as calm and casual as if this were any ordinary night.

But for Connor, nothing about this moment felt ordinary at all.
