Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

He knew Chloe hadn't come back all night.

Pax got up early when the light of dawn was just starting to filter in. Ann was already bustling in the kitchen, as usual. Every morning, she sold breakfast at the school gate, and today was no different.

Pax jumped in to help without a second thought. He carried boxes, pushed the cart, and even helped her sell breakfast at the school entrance. Ann felt a bit embarrassed. Here was this tall, handsome boy, helping her sell breakfast at the age where appearances mattered most. Pax didn't seem to mind at all. He worked briskly and confidently, completely at ease.

His sunny, handsome face drew a crowd. On a normal day, selling breakfast took three hours, but today, they sold out in half an hour. Pax helped clean up and push the cart back home. Ann had saved a breakfast burrito for him. Pax munched on it as they walked. He was clearly doing the hard work of everyday folks, yet his neatness, calm demeanor, and even the graceful way he ate drew second glances from passersby.

"Ms. Ann, what's your relationship with Chloe?" Pax asked after finishing his burrito and wiping his mouth with a napkin. He kept helping with the cart as he chatted.

Pax was curious about Chloe. She was obviously wealthy but chose to live in Sundance Heights, a neighborhood slated for redevelopment. Ann smiled and answered naturally, "You can just think of me as her aunt."© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Pax had already pieced together some clues from online snippets. "Ms. Ann, you're her biological mother, aren't you?"

The inte was buzzing with stories that Chloe was a mistakenly pampered false heiress. Ann's eyes flickered with emotion, and she sighed, "Yes, but please don't bring this up in front of her. I'm already very satisfied with the way things are now. I haven't raised her for a single day, and I never expect her to acknowledge me."

To this day, Chloe had never called Ann 'mom.' Sometimes, she called her 'miss. But Ann was content. She saw Chloe often, and Chloe was willing to live in a small house in Sundance Heights. It felt like a divine gift.

Pax nodded. "Has she been living here with you all this time?"

Ann shook her head. "She's only been here a few days recently; she has her own house."

Pax started to worry. Chloe must have gone back to her place yesterday. Would she come back?

"I have another question... Does Chloe have a boyfriend?"

Ann looked at Pax, surprised. She answered honestly, "I really

If Chloe had a boyfriend, she probably wouldn't come straight home after work. She'd likely go out on dates or at least make some phone calls. Ann had never seen any of that. Chloe spent most of her time watering the cucumber, corn, and eggplant plants she had grown in the little balcony garden.

Hearing this, Pax's lips curled into a happy smile. Ann, noticing his expression, asked worriedly, "You... you like Chloe?"

Pax nodded earnestly. "When I first met her in France, I fell in love with her at first sight."
