Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 294

"But I have no regrets," Chloe declared, spinning on her heel and marching out of the tent. The once bustling tent now felt cavernous, and Connor was left behind.

Connor hung his head slightly, his gaze growing dim. At that moment, a realization hit him like a ton of bricks. He had made a mistake. He planned to protect Chloe by keeping his distance, but she had still walked into the most dangerous arena of all. Now, he didn't even have the right to stand by her side. So what was the point of all those careful steps he had taken? What was the point of pulling away with such restraint?

Regret clawed at Connor's heart. But he knew Chloe too well. She wasn’t one to look back once she had moved on, especially now with Pax by her side.

After Chloe left, Pax came over carrying an air mattress. "Chloe, what were you two talking about in there?" he asked. He had seen Connor follow Chloe into the tent, and they had been in there for three minutes. Pax was always worried that his uncle, like everyone else, would object to his pursuit of Chloe because of her background.

"He.. didn't give you a hard time, did he?" Pax asked, his concern evident.

Chloe shot Pax a frustrated look. He still had no clue about her past with Connor. She couldn't understand why Connor wouldn’t just tell him. Or maybe Connor didn't want anyone to know about the three-year-long "blemish" in his love life. If he wouldn't say anything, she certainly wasn't going to broadcast their brief fling.

Chloe rolled her eyes at Pax. "You two are both jerks." With that, she brushed past him and walked away.

Pax turned to watch her leave, his face full of hurt. Just then, Connor emerged from the tent. Pax glared at him fiercely before grabbing the mattress and heading inside.
