Maybe Connor had been harboring his own twisted plans since he was just a kid. After all, given how she treated him, how could he possibly be kind to her child?
Claire knew Pax was acting out these days, so she didn’t want to fight him head-on. She put on a warm smile, patted his shoulder, and said, “Look at you, all disheveled. Go back, take a good shower, and I’ll have a feast ready for you all.”
The trio returned to the stables.
Diana was safe, having been retrieved by one of the riding coaches. She was still visibly shaken, though.
When she spotted Connor, she ran over and hugged him tightly around the waist. “Uncle Connor…”
She had just heard from the coach who saved her that it was Connor who had sent him. They also reviewed the surveillance footage from the track. Both her and Chloe’s horses had lost control simultaneously. Uncle Connor had run straight towards her without a second thought. That was enough for her. As for why he came back with Chloe, she didn’t want to know.
Diana buried herself in Connor’s arms, tears streaming down her face. “Uncle Connor, I thought I’d never see you again.”
Seeing Diana unharmed was a relief for Connor. He patted her shoulder and gently pushed her away, comforting her, “It’s good that you’re okay. Now, no more tears.”
The recently repaired Lovebot also stumbled into view. The livestream, which had been offline for an hour, suddenly came back to life.
[Wow, it’s back!]
