Chapter 458
Just when it seemed like things couldn't get any crazier, Lisa's antics hit a whole new level, totally out of control. With a huff, she reluctantly left the restaurant. Leah picked up the family register and approached Chloe, saying, "I'm sorry, I dropped the ball on this one."
Chloe's response was cool, "I'll get a new register. But I'm moving my registration out of the Meadows family."
Connor was about to leave, but Chloe said, "I need to grab something from my room." She led him to her room, and he kept that icy demeanor the whole time.
Once the door was closed, Chloe tried to calm him down, "Come on, don't be mad. You're not as handsome when you're fuming." She even playfully scratched his chin.
Connor let out a deep sigh, "I was planning to get the marriage license on Monday."
"I know."
"And I picked out my sharpest shirt, had it flown in from Italy."
"I know."
"I even posted about it. Matt and Marc said they'd throw us a party Monday night."
"That... I actually didn't know."
Connor flopped onto the bed, clearly annoyed, "I even teased them about being single. If they find out I didn't get married-well, didn't get the license -they're gonna give me hell."
"Why were you teasing them about being single?"
Connor turned his head, ears turning red, muttering, "They started it, calling me whipped."
Chloe couldn't help but find it funny. Connor was a whole different person with her. Even his anger had a different vibe.
She sat beside him, throwing an arm around his shoulder, "It's just a week. No biggie."
Connor turned to her, her beauty
glowing, eyes sparkling. He suddenly smiled, "Getting it reissued is fine. From now on, you'll be on the same register as me." RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
Chloe nodded, "Okay."
Connor leaned in for a kiss, and Chloe didn't pull away. It was a gentle, tender moment.
And all of this was caught by Lisa, watching through her phone. She was so mad she nearly threw it. Why did Mr. Connor, the big shot, act so differently around Chloe? Why Chloe of all people? He wasn't the cold, aloof guy everyone said he was. With Chloe, he was as gentle as a puppy.

Lisa was in disbelief. Their kisses, their laughter, their sweetness-itall stung Lisa deeply. In a fit, she burst out of her room and went to bang on Chloe's door.
Hearing the knock, Chloe raised an eyebrow. Someone finally showed up. But she let Lisa knock for a bit before pulling away from Connor.
Connor, hearing the knocking, guessed it was Lisa. A look of annoyance crossed his face. Her timing was too perfect to be a coincidence.
But Chloe just smiled and said, "I've got to deal with something. Wait for me in the car, I'll be right down."
Connor nodded, "I'll wait for you." He got up to open the door.
"Chloe! You reckless..."
