Chapter 91 Connor's lips curled into a sly grin. "I just played my part well. If I hadn't been a bit charming, how else would you have fallen for it?" Chloe burst into laughter. Connor seemed pretty pleased with himself.
With her head tilted, Chloe propped herself up on her arm and lazily gazed at Connor sitting beside her. He was incredibly attractive, like a comic book hero cto life, with a flawless face.
On his left ear, he wore a tiny blue earring adorned with an even tinier sapphire. You wouldn't notice it unless you looked closely, but Chloe had spotted it the first day she saw him, and he had never taken it off.
His looks were cool and aloof, but that little earring added a touch of rebellious charm. It was an intriguing mix- cool detachment with a hint of defiance-blended seamlessly in him. Truly captivating.

"What's the story behind this earring? You've always worn it." From what Chloe knew of Connor, he didn't seem like the type to go for flashy accessories. His usual style was very formal-suits, leather shoes, and the occasional wristwatches. So, the earring had to mean something special.
Connor's earlobe turned red where Chloe had touched. He caught her hand. "It was a gift. No big deal." "From a girl?" Chloe probed.
Connor turned to her, his eyes twinkling with amusement. "Jealous?" Chloe smirked like a cat. "I can be all sorts of things, just not jealous." Connor turned away, muttering, "Boring. I'll tell you when you actually get jealous." Chloe shrugged, turning back to the window. That girl must've meant a lot to him.
True to his word, Connor drove to the supermarket. Chloe had only casually mentioned wanting to try his cooking. She hadn't expected him to seriously start picking out ribs.
When they got back home, he really did cook, making her a delicious pork ribs dinner.
After dinner, it was quite late. Chloe, feeling full and content, nestled in a wicker chair on the small balcony, totally satisfied.
Connor finished washing the dishes and cover, sitting down beside her.
"Full?" he asked.
Chloe patted her slightly rounded stomach and grinned. "Feels like I'm three months pregnant." Connor glanced at her belly. Usually, her stomach was flat and smooth. His eyes darkened, and his hand covered her stomach, sliding downward. "How about sexercise to help you digest?"

In the following days, Lucas arrived early at the TV station to pick up Linda every day. This meant Chloe saw him often, but they never spoke.
