Pax came galloping towards them on his horse. But instead of running to Claire after dismounting, he rushed straight to Chloe, just like Connor had. Grabbing her arm, he looked her over anxiously from head to toe. "Aare you okay? Did you get hurt?"
Claire and Connor exchanged frowns at this scene. Chloe gave Pax a reassuring smile. "I'm fine, don't worry." She hadn't expected Pax to follow her.
Connor calmly separated their hands. "Pax, how did you find us here?"
Pax shrugged. "I closed my eyes and picked a path. Who knew I'd end up here by sheer luck?"
Then he looked at Connor with innocent eyes. "Weren't you supposed to be chasing after Diana? What are you doing here?"
Behind them, Claire’s voice rang out, stern and tinged with a hint of anger. "Pax, do you have any idea that I’ve been searching for you in Italy for a whole month!"
This rascal! He had deliberately left traces in Italy, using various tricks to make her think he was still there. But he had actually been back in the country for over a month, brazenly participating in this reality show.
Even though she had orchestrated the show, she hadn't paid it much attention. It was only yesterday, when her team reported Barrett missing and showed her the last video of him before he disappeared, that she realized that her precious son was also part of the show.
Pax, having lived abroad since childhood, was virtually unknown in terms of his true identity due to her deliberate protection. Even Barrett didn’t know. She also noticed Pax’s infatuation with Chloe, which made her furious enough to fly over immediately.
