Chapter 158 Linda never thought Lucas could becso cold-hearted, leaving her behind without a second thought.
Just then, Matt stepped forward and offered Linda his hand. "Hey there, darling. Men really are the worst, aren't they? Why not cwith me? I mean, I'm no saint, but I might be better company." From the side, Devon chimed in, "Matt, seriously? Can't you tell she's been pregnant for months?" Matt jerked back like he'd been burned, quickly letting go of Linda's arm. “I might like married women, but playing the stepdad? Not my thing," he remarked.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtConnor shot a cold glance at Linda, ready to leave, but Linda called out, "Mr. Connor, can we talk?" Connor, already halfway down the stairs, didn't stop.
"Aren't you even a little curious about Chloe?" she called out.
Finally, Connor halted. He turned to the group and said, "You guys go ahead to the restaurant. I'll catch up later." As the group turned to glance back at Linda, they saw a stark transformation. The woman who had seemed so pitiful with tears streaking down her face just moments ago now stood firm, her expression indifferent, almost predatory as she locked eyes with Connor, her intentions barely concealed. 'This woman is scary,' Matt thought immediately.
He warned Connor, "Watch out for her. Anyone who can change faces that fast is bad news." Connor stayed silent.
After the others had gone, he turned and walked back up the steps, stopping about two meters from Linda. Linda's lips curled into a scheming smile. "Mr. Connor, do you care about Chloe that much?" Connor's patience was wearing thin. He frowned slightly, his gaze icy. "What are you trying to say?" He had a feeling stopping might not have been wise. Linda could very well say something harmful about Chloe. But since it concerned Chloe, he was eager to hear what Linda had to reveal.
"You've only known Chloe for a month. Do you really know her?" Connor scoffed. "I'm not Lucas. Your attempts to stir the pot won't work on me." Linda chuckled. "Chloe's always been popular a favorite since high school. She loves attention and is always surrounded by guys. She knows her way around men, which is why it makes sense you'd be drawn to a woman who's already taken." Linda was probing, trying to gauge whether Connor knew about Chloe's past with Lucas. Even though they hadn't legally registered their marriage, they once held a banquet. If Connor were to dig around, he'd surely uncover traces of the wedding. Wouldn't Connor care about labeling Chloe a "taken woman" at all? Connor saw right through her. "Ms. Linda, you might not know, but Lucas and Chloe never legalized their union. I'm well aware of that. You've been with Lucas for three years, and he never told you? What does that say?" "It says that in his eyes, you've always been the side piece, never worth acknowledging.
