Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 263

Chloe was lounging on the couch, flipping through the variety show proposal, when a glance at the incoming call display caught her eye. Was it Pax's mom calling? Initially, Chloe had no intention of answering the phone, but the phone kept ringing, over and over again. Eventually, she picked up Pax's phone, debating whether to answer it on his behalf. What if it was an emergency?

Suddenly, the bathroom door swung open. Startled, Chloe's finger inadvertently slid across the phone screen, and to her surprise, she had answered Pax's call. Pax had just stepped out of the bathroom and caught the scene. His expression darkened immediately. Without a word, he swiftly approached, snatched the phone from Chloe's grasp, and hung up. He then hurried out to the balcony and dialed a number.

"Uncle, I need a favor. Mom's definitely going to try and track me by my phone location. Can you change my IP address within a minute…"

Chloe had no idea what Pax was talking about. All she knew was that she shouldn't have answered that phone call. It could potentially bring trouble to Pax.

Shortly after, Pax came back inside. Chloe apologized, "Sorry, I shouldn't have touched your phone."

Pax, however, just flashed a bright smile. "No worries, I didn't want to answer my mom's call anyway. She tends to nag a lot."

"Did you just mention… your uncle?"

"Yeah, my uncle is also in Riverbrook, but he's usually too busy working to bother about me. I didn't want to trouble him, but now that he knows I'm here, he's coming to see me perform at the bar tonight. He knows you've been looking out for me and wants to treat you to dinner."

When Pax spoke of his uncle, his face lit up with admiration. "Are you close with this uncle?"

"My uncle's always been my role model. I've looked up to him since I was a kid. He graduated from a prestigious university and now works at a major company. He's really impressive." And Pax seemed a bit proud, "Plus, he's quite handsome."
