Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 292

However, the mattresses needed manual inflation.

Diana didn’t know how to set up a tent, so she was busy inflating an air mattress instead. So far, she had only managed to inflate one.

Pax, getting the gist of the situation, couldn’t resist a tease, “You really know how to spoil people, huh?”

Inflating an air mattress was supposed to be the easiest task, and his uncle had asked him to help out.

Pax knew about the relationship between his uncle and Diana. If Diana married his uncle, she would technically become his aunt-in-law. But Diana was also his half-sister from his dad's side. Pax tried not to think about the messiness of their relationship too much.

Even though Diana was his half-sister, they had never met or interacted in over twenty years.

As Pax approached, Diana’s gaze grew cautious.

Pax walked over casually, “Hey, sis, need a hand?”

In Pax’s eyes, Diana was family, despite not being close to the Gilbert side of the family. Seeing a face that looked a bit like his own felt surreal.

Diana stiffened at being called “sis.” She had always known she had a brother, a golden child destined to inherit the Gilbert family business. She had always worried he might resent her because of Claire. But hearing him acknowledge her was both surprising and delightful.

She had just hammered in one and reached behind her to grab another from the backpack, but her fingers suddenly brushed against something warm.

Chloe turned her head and found Connor also reaching into the bag for a stake. She was about to pull her hand away, but Connor grabbed it firmly instead.

Keeping her cool, Chloe looked steadily at Connor, unsure of what he was up to. Her hand was hidden in the large, black bag, and Connor was now tightly holding it. In that moment, Connor seemed to hold onto something crucial. He was unwilling to let go.

What was he thinking?

Chloe tried to pull her hand out, but Connor held on tightly. Connor himself seemed a bit stunned. His fingers had brushed against Chloe’s hand unintentionally, and he felt that smooth touch and her warmth. He had grasped her hand almost instinctively, like a person lost at sea suddenly finding a piece of driftwood. The moment their skin touched, a spark surged through his body. God knows how much he had missed...
