Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 330

"There will never be such a day."

Pax was momentarily taken aback. "Uncle, what did you say?"

"I said you two can never be together."

A flash of anger crossed Pax's face. "Why not?"

"Because I forbid it."

"Uncle!" Pax's face turned crimson, his breathing rapid. "Give me one reason."

"The reason is, she's my woman!"

Connor's voice was calm. He looked up at Pax, his gaze as serene as if he were merely commenting on the pleasant weather. Yet, Pax felt as if he'd been struck by lightning. His eyes were fixed on Connor, his face clearly shocked. He opened his mouth a few times but found himself unable to speak.

After a long silence, Pax finally regained his composure. "Uncle, you like her?"

Connor added two more logs to the campfire. Instantly, the flames leaped high between them. The firelight revealed Connor's earnest expression. "I love her."

Pax turned pale. After a while, he seemed to realize something. "What about Diana? Wasn't she always the one you loved?"

Connor spoke evenly, "We've been together for three years."

It was like a bombshell, blowing away the last shred of hope Pax had held onto. He deflated rapidly, like a frostbitten eggplant. Even his shoulders slumped. He hung his head low, sitting on a dry tree branch, his entire aura deflated, as if enveloped by a dark cloud.

After a while, he suddenly looked up. A flicker of anger shone in his dark, starry eyes. "Uncle, you've known for a long time that I had feelings for her. Why only tell me all this now?"

This past month, since he arrived in Riverbrook, the three of them had often met. He hadn't detected any obvious intimacy between Connor and Chloe. On the contrary, Chloe's demeanor towards Connor was clearly dismissive. How could a couple who had been together for three years act like this?

Before Connor could respond, Pax had already reached a conclusion. "You and she had broken up a long time ago, hadn't you?"
