Chapter 3My Billionaire Best Friend's Brother is My Secret Hookup

Liam had been really busy lately. Sometimes he would lower his voice to take calls. His family was probably pressuring him. As his unqualified, secret girlfriend, I didn't even have the right to step foot in his family's home.

"Good girl, Chloe."

I gathered my emotions, smiled brightly, took the shopping list Serena gave me, and went to buy her things.

She sent me Noah's Snapchat contact.

Followed by a "You got this!" sticker.

She had a gala to attend that night, a highly exclusive one. I wasn't qualified to go.

After we parted ways, I thought about it.

I crouched by the side of the road, drafting a breakup text.

I wrote, deleted, and revised a thousand-word essay for a long time, but still couldn't bring myself to send it. My thrilling, one-year secret romance was finally coming to an end.

"What kind of sweet nothings take half an hour to type?"

Liam sent a voice memo first, his voice still that magnetic, seductive baritone.

I let out a soft sigh.

I deleted the essay. I was just a secret lover; what right did I have to initiate a breakup?

To people like them, being dumped by someone like me would be an insult.

"I missed my hubby."

I chickened out again.

I typed a perfunctory reply. I was shameless. I knew Liam could never marry me, but I always called him "hubby."

He wasn't used to it at first, but later he grew to like it.

He was typing.

I was faster, sending another message.

"Hubby, there's a bag I really want lately, it's twenty thousand dollars. I want it... purr purr~"

I attached a sticker of a cute kitten aggressively nuzzling its owner.

Being with Liam, I never lacked for money.

He gave me even more than Serena did.
