Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 1105

Connor didn’t move from the balcony.

He looked as stoic as ever, but inside, his heart was racing.

A few minutes later, Chloe showed up.

“Why aren’t you back in your room?” she asked.

Connor turned, and Chloe nearly jumped in surprise.

He was grinning like a total dork.

Chloe could count on one hand the number of times she’d seen Connor smile like that. Her first thought was that something was wrong. He’d only just woken up recently, and when he left the hospital, the doctor warned her his brain was still healing—anything could happen.

Chloe rushed over, dropped down next to his wheelchair, and grabbed his hand, worry written all over her face. “Connor, what’s going on?”

He just kept laughing, and finally managed to get the words out: “Aaron called me Dad.”

Chloe exhaled, relief flooding through her.

Okay, so he wasn’t losing his mind.

Wait—what?

“What did you just say?” Chloe’s voice was somewhere between shock and disbelief.

Connor’s eyes sparkled with pride, and the smile on his face was impossible to hide. “Aaron called me Dad,” he repeated, practically glowing.

Chloe felt a wave of surprise and happiness roll over her.

She’d never told Aaron to start calling Connor “Dad.” She knew, in Aaron’s heart, Lucas would always have a place no one else could fill. That was just a fact.

But Aaron had chosen this, himself.

It meant he really liked Connor—maybe even loved him—and was ready to let him in.

Suddenly, Connor started moving his wheelchair, clearly in a rush to go somewhere.

The days slipped by one after another.

Connor’s body was slowly getting stronger.

At first, his legs were so stiff he couldn’t even stand without someone helping. Now, he could manage a few minutes on his own.

Still, after being stuck in bed for so long, and with some nerve damage, learning to walk again would take time.

But the doctor said being able to stand, even for a little while, or to shuffle a few steps with support—that was already amazing progress.

Connor had also started working again, just a little at a time.

Chloe wasn’t thrilled about it; she didn’t want him pushing himself too hard. But Isaac and Pax were convinced it was good for him—after a year in a coma, his brain could use the workout.

They promised Chloe they’d be there to help, making sure Connor could ease back into things.

Still, after only two days back at work, both Isaac and Pax were already totally overwhelmed.
