Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 415

Chloe was still soaking in the euphoria of surviving a catastrophe, of reclaiming something precious she thought was lost forever. When she glanced up, she saw Connor's face. He stood there silently, his eyes red and tears streaming down his cheeks.

"Why are you crying?" Chloe asked, genuinely surprised. In their three years together, she had never seen Connor shed a tear. But now, tears flowed like broken beads, unstoppable.

Oddly enough, he looked incredibly good-looking in his sorrow. His red-rimmed eyes, awash with tears, made his dark pupils sparkle like gleaming black diamonds. His gaze was intense, as if it held entire galaxies, oceans, icebergs, and snowy fields.

Those eyes were a whirlwind of complex emotions—joy from regaining what was lost, gratitude for surviving the disaster, and lingering despair and fear. It seemed he hadn't fully processed everything yet. His eyes were a dance of surprise and pain, despair and hope, disbelief mixed with helplessness and confusion, and a dash of ecstatic joy.

There were so many emotions that Chloe couldn't bear to look any longer. So, she kissed his eyes gently. Connor instinctively closed them. Chloe rolled over, pinning him beneath her. Soon, their breaths intertwined. This time, Chloe was the one taking the lead. Later on, when she looked back, she couldn't quite remember how it all happened. It all seemed absurd to her.

When Connor woke up, he found himself alone. His heart raced with panic. He quickly got up and walked out of the bamboo hut. The sun had just started to rise over the horizon. Last night had drained him completely, leading to the deepest, most restful sleep he'd had in ages.
