Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 401

Diana watched the scene play out and felt her heart shatter into a million pieces. Just a moment ago, she had foolishly thought that Uncle Connor’s open-armed hug was for her. She had been deluding herself, overestimating her importance. From beginning to end, it was always Chloe that Connor adored, who he wanted to be close to in times of crisis.

Diana couldn’t find the words to describe how she felt. It was like her carefully crafted dream had been brutally popped, or like a cherished heart held tenderly in her hands had been stomped into pieces. She turned to run away, but Faith grabbed her arm, stopping her. “Diana, you can’t just run off. What if something else happens?”

Faith’s grip on her arm was firm. Diana didn’t even have the luxury of fleeing the scene. Above them, a drone buzzed excitedly, capturing every angle of the kiss and broadcasting it live.

“I just went to the bathroom, what did I miss? How did they end up kissing?” another comment read.

“I'm hesitant to ship them after what happened this morning,” someone else chimed in.

“But this kiss... can anyone understand me? This is the couple mature audiences should root for,” another one added.

“Is this really free to watch? It's so sweet,” one more commented.

Time seemed to stand still. Finally, Connor let go of Chloe. Chloe still looked dazed. This wasn’t the first time Connor had kissed her forcefully, but each time, it left her reeling. Chloe glared at Connor fiercely, but he took her hand and said, “Let’s go back.”

Chloe replied nonchalantly, “I occasionally go to shoot air rifles. I’m not usually this accurate. It was just the tension today, a fluke.”

She couldn’t very well say that her mentor was a retired assassin with divine shooting skills, who had been tricked into participating in the Olympics and swept all the shooting gold medals, thereby earning his first pot of gold before retiring from the underworld. No one would believe that story.

Faith nodded and added, “We were lucky to have you today. Or both Diana and Connor would have been in danger.” After saying this, Faith looked towards Diana. Honestly, it was because of Chloe that they had escaped danger today. Diana seemed as if she hadn’t heard Faith’s words. She knew she should be grateful to Chloe. Not only had Chloe saved her but also Uncle Connor. Yet, the discomfort in her heart was overwhelming. She couldn’t bring herself to voice any words of gratitude.
