Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 195

Chloe was pulled into the garden by Cassie. Fireworks burst in the sky, a dazzling display that took your breath away. Everyone in the garden stopped and looked up, showering the spectacle with praise. Chloe looked up, too. Watching the fireworks, she couldn't help but think back to her own birthday. The sky had been filled with Heart of the Rose, burning brightly. Her once-thrilling heartbeat now felt like a giant bubble. Pop, and it had shattered.

The fireworks lasted about ten minutes before gradually fading away, but the garden became even livelier. People gathered under a crabapple tree in the center. Presents of all shapes and sizes were piled high beneath it. Chloe finally saw the star of the day, Diana.

Diana looked young, though she was only three years younger than Chloe. Her face, full of innocence and naivety, made her much younger than she was. She had long, straight hair with bangs framing her delicate features that were lightly adorned with makeup. A pink dress hugged her slim figure. Her eyes sparkled with sweetness when she smiled. Chloe's first impression of her was one of beauty and youthfulness, like an exquisite Barbie doll in a shop window. Diana seemed born to be cherished, pampered, and adored like a little princess.

She was surrounded by a group of girls. Chloe and Cassie stood just a few meters away, separated by a man-made lake. The girls' chatter still reached Chloe's ears.

"Diana, why hasn’t Connor arrived yet?"

"Diana, I heard Connor tailored a reality show just for you. Is that true? Remember to include us when the time comes, okay?"

"Diana, we’re so envious of you. You're just in your sophomore year, and you’ve already been part of several big productions. Once those shows air, you might become an A-list actress overnight."

"Diana, you’ve got such good fortune. Connor even started a talent agency just for you. That’s a unique honor in the entertainment industry."

Connor—how could she not recognize him? The custom-made suit fit him perfectly. His handsome face made people forget his illustrious status and focus solely on his extraordinary looks. Each step he took seemed to tread upon the hearts of those around him. Someone might have screamed if it weren't for the aloof aura he emitted. In the entertainment industry, it was hard to find another face that could compete with his.

Connor approached Diana, calm and composed. People around him started to greet him. Connor nodded casually in response, but his gaze eventually settled on Diana. "Diana, happy birthday."

Diana was visibly delighted, looking up at Connor with eyes that seemed to sparkle like stars.
