Chapter 308
Connor spotted Chloe approaching. Without a second thought, he reached out his hand and said, "Give me your hand." Chloe had no idea what Connor was up to. Curiosity got the better of her, and she extended her hand, placing it in his. Connor grabbed her hand and pulled her towards him with a swift tug, guiding her hand to something unexpected...
Chloe was stunned. She was known for her usual composure, but still almost lost her cool. Connor had placed her hand on his abs.
A mischievous grin spread across Connor's face, oozing seduction. "Feel those eight-pack abs, nice, huh?"
The warmth and firmness of his skin under her palm felt almost electrifying. But to Chloe, it was like touching a hot stove. She reflexively tried to yank her hand back.
Connor held on tight, keeping her hand pressed against his abs, still smiling that infuriating smile.
"Connor, are you out of your mind?" Chloe snapped.
Finally, she managed to pull her hand away. Her palm felt like it had been set ablaze, the heat spreading to her cheeks, turning them bright red. But Chloe was certain it was anger fueling the fire.
"You're crazy," she retorted.
Chloe knew she shouldn't have let curiosity get the best of her. She should have known he was up to something. Even though she thought she was prepared, she still fell for his antics.
Connor noticed the flush on Chloe's face, the brief panic in her eyes, and now her obvious anger. He found it all highly entertaining. Leisurely, he began unbuttoning his shirt. "I'm letting you touch for free, not even charging you, and you're still complaining?"
"I don't want to touch you. It just dirtied my hand," Chloe shot back.
Connor's amused smile vanished, replaced by a forced laugh. "Yet, you seemed pretty happy touching Pax."
Chloe finally understood why he was acting out. It was because she had patted Pax's head, and it had clearly gotten under his skin.
She scoffed, "Can't I pat Pax? It was a mutual thing. But what are we to each other? You're acting like a cheap gigolo!"
Connor's face fell. "Chloe, is that really what you think of me? That I'm that cheap?"
Chloe's voice turned cold. "Whether
you're cheap or not is none of my business. All I know is that we're strangers how. Stop with the weird behavior. You wouldn't want me to expose you in front of Diana would you?"

"Mr. Connor, please have some dignity from now on." Then, Chloe turned decisively and took a few steps away. Connor suddenly called out, "Stay away from Pax. Neither I nor my sister will ever accept you as his girlfriend."
Without turning back, Chloe replied, "Who I'm with is my business, and you can't control that!"Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
She walked to the tent door, lifted the flap, and stepped out.
Connor, seething with anger, grabbed a piece of clothing from his luggage and hurled it onto the air mattress. Stepping outside, Chloe saw Kalilah standing at the entrance of another tent, clearly enjoying her discomfort.
That's when Chloe remembered
something. She walked over to a small flag and saw its position had indeed been changed. Chloe had almost pieced together the whole situation. Kalilah really had some nerve. Using such a transparent trick, did she think everyone watching the live stream was an idiot?
Seeing Chloe's dark expression, Kalilah assumed she had suffered the same fate. Unable to resist, she sneered, "Chloe, why the long face? Did you confess to Connor and get rejected?"
