Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

Chapter 553



Dr. Colt couldn't quite wrap his head around why Mr. Shaw was so insistent on walking him home. After all, it was just a short stroll away. But Mr. Shaw was adamant, so Dr. Colt didn't argue. He grabbed his medical bag, bid them farewell, and headed out.

Just as he reached the door, Wayne caught up with him. "I'll tag along," he said with a grin. "I've been meaning to catch up with that wild card, Cassie."

And with that, the whole group made their exit, leaving the restaurant suddenly quiet. Only the Shaw couple, Kash, Isaac, Chloe, and Connor remained. The evening had been a whirlwind of unexpected events, one after another, especially with Chloe suddenly declaring the Shaws as her godparents. She was still processing the surprise.

But Chloe, ever confident, took Connor's hand and stepped forward. "Godfather, Godmother, this is my husband, Connor," she introduced formally.

Connor had arrived late and was in the dark about the earlier happenings, including Chloe's newfound godparents. But he rolled with it. "Mr. Neil, Ms. Ruby, it's been ages. Do you remember me?"

Chloe was taken aback. They knew

each other? A quick realization dawned on her. The Shaw family was among the four prominent families, closely connected back in the day. Unlike the others, the Shaws preferred to keep a low profile. Neil's parents had moved to Riverbrook after transferring the company to him, which is where Neil met Ruby. They later settled in Luxembourg over a decade ago, shifting their business focus overseas. The Shaws were huge internationally, though not as high-profile domestically as the wealthiest

Sartori family.

Given the timeline, it made sense they might have known Connor as a child. And sure enough, Ruby stood up, giving Connor a once-over. "Wow, look at you! Last time I saw you, you were just five. I'm surprised you remember."

Connor's mouth lifted in a gentle smile. "I do. When I was five, I got lost at an amusement park and almost got snatched by kidnappers. Ms. Ruby, you stepped in like a hero and made sure I got home safe. I'll never forget that."

His words left everyone stunned.

Chloe's gaze softened with empathy. She'd heard the story before. At five, Connor's sister Claire had taken him to an amusement park but left him there alone. He was missing for three whole days before returning to the Sartori family. Chloe had wondered how such a powerful family could fail to find a child for so long. Now she knew-the kidnappers.

Ruby seemed to remember too. It was Isaac's fifth birthday, and his wish was for her to take him to the amusement park. Throughout their visit, she'd noticed a little boy sitting quietly on a bench, not joining in the fun. After two hours, he was still there. She approached him and asked, "Hey there, who are you here with? Where are your parents?" Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

The boy looked at her with clear eyes. "I'm waiting for my sister. She went to get me something to eat and told me to wait here. She'll be back soon,"

he replied.
