Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover by Rosa Winters

Chapter 472

Growing up, Lisa often faced teasing from her classmates who knew she lived in the slums. It was a place she

loathed entirely. So, when the opportunity cto return to the Meadows family, she never looked back. But she

never imagined Chloe would live there so comfortably, without a care.

Lisa stood up, grabbed her bag, and headed straight to Sundance Heights. When she got there, Chloe hadn't

finished her lunch yet. Ann's cooking was nothing short of amazing. Her home-cooked meals could easily

compete with those of a five-star chef. Eating Ann's meals always brought Chloe a sense of warmth and comfort,

like it was something she had been missing since childhood.

"Auntie, | should open a little restaurant for you," Chloe said, as she had always called Ann "Auntie." At first, it

was just out of habit, but after learning Ann wasn't her real mother, it beceven more distant. Ann, however,

never seemed to mind.

"Running a restaurant is expensive, you know. I'm happy enough with my breakfast cart at the school, and it

does pretty well," Ann replied.

Chloe expressed her concern, "You're out the door at the crack of dawn and back late with that breakfast cart,

even in the rain. You even took a tumble once-it's gotworried."

"Don't worry about the money. | have sshops in Lumine Garden. Check them out, pick the one you like, and

it's yours. You won't need to hustle anymore. Start a cozy spot, be your own boss. Cook when you feel like it, hire

shelp when you don't. What do you think?"

Ann was taken aback, "Chloe, | don't want your money or your shops."

"It's just close to where I live. This way, when | get a craving for your cooking, | won't have to trek so far."

Chloe made it sound so simple, taking a bite of her halibut and flashing Ann a grin, "It's not about you. I'm just

lazy and want your cooking more often."

That made it hard for Ann to say no. "Alright then, how about you rent the shop to me? I'll pay you rent each

month."

Chloe chuckled, "If that's the deal, | should probably pay for my meals every time, too."

"Why are you like this, child?"

Chloe quickly wrapped it up, "Alright, it's settled. No need for formalities between us."

Ann felt a wave of emotion. Though. Chloe had never called her "mom her actions spoke louder than, words. Ann

cherished every little gesture Chloe made.

Running a restaurant had always been Ann's dream, a dream from her younger days saving up to open a small

eatery. But her savings had often been squandered by John. And Lisa was no easy child, frequently getting into

trouble at school. Ann's savings went to Lisa, and later, as a nanny, she moved to Eldridge City to keep Lisa

away from John, spending all she had on the best international school there. But Lisa got expelled, and Ann had

to pay a hefty compensation.

Over the years, she never seemed to save a dime. Now, selling breakfast, she had managed to put aside a small

amount. Reflecting on the past was bittersweet for Ann, but seeing Chloe brought her immense joy.

Ann squeezed Chloe's hand, "Chloe, | can't thank you enough."

Chloe grinned, "No need to be so formal with me."

Just then, a sarcastic voice chimed in from the doorway, "Oh, what's this? A little mother-daughter heart-to-

heart?"
