Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

The last time she slipped into a dress was when she played bridesmaid for Chloe. Even though she chose to wear it, she felt awkward the entire day. She didn't insist on sharing the wedding car with Chloe because Winston had arranged a change of clothes for her. She ended up in Winston's car, switching outfits, which unfortunately led to Chloe's kidnapping later. Every time Cassie replayed that day in her mind, a wave of guilt and regret washed over her. She even started blaming her dress for the delay. Since then, dresses were a no-go for her.

"Sure thing," Winston replied, momentarily surprised but quick to agree.

Cassie chuckled, "Are you for real?"

Winston wrapped her in his arms, "You've agreed to marry me, so whatever you want, I'm all in."

And so, on their wedding day, Winston and Cassie's ceremony became the talk of the town. Not because it was extravagant, but because Cassie rocked a sharp suit while Winston, the groom, stunned everyone in a white wedding gown. They tied the knot just like that.

Of course, Isaac and Wayne, as groomsmen, were roped into wearing pink dresses too, from start to finish. The scene was hilariously unforgettable. The entire wedding was buzzing with energy. Everyone who showed up felt Isaac's endless adoration for the Gilbert family heiress. What started as a joke turned into admiration and envy. Chloe was beaming with joy that day too. After the wedding, she didn't head home; the Shaw family had already set up a room for her. That night, the four Shaw brothers and Chloe all stayed under one roof.

After getting back from the hotel, Cassie was still buzzing with energy. She rallied everyone for a game of poker. Being a night owl, she played until the wee hours. Winston had already nudged her a few times to caffit a night, but Cassie was too caught up in the fun. Chloe had never been into poker before, but lately, she couldn't get enough of it. She joined in until the break of dawn. Eventually, Connor had to scoop her up and carry her back to their room.

Once inside, Chloe still felt the thrill, "Why were you rushing me tonight? It's not often the house is this lively."noveldrama

Chloe wasn't exactly wide awake; she just relished the lively atmosphere. Everyone gathered to play cards and enjoy themselves, filling the air with warmth and laughter. For her, it was a rare treat.

Connor chuckled, rolling up his sleeves, "Do you know what tonight is? It's Winston and Cassie's wedding night. While you were having a blast, didn't you notice Winston's eyes rolling to the ceiling?"

Chloe honestly hadn't noticed. She flopped lazily onto the bed, closing her eyes, "It's been ages since I've felt this happy."

It really had been too long. The

Sartori family was still under a cloud. Since Claire's passing, Jeffery's hair had turned considerably gray, and his health wasn't what it used to be. He often kept to himself. Marian had been seriously ill and was now back in Riverbrook to recover. Pax, once back with the Gilbert family, had become so busy that Chloe barely saw him anymore. Chloe had taken a long break lately, spending her days at home, lost in books and daydreams, and occasionally helping Cassie with wedding plans. Today had been her most carefree day in a while.

When Chloe opened her eyes, Connor had already slipped into bed, propping himself up on an arm to gaze at her. Seeing her awake, he
