But the last tshe was at the Gilberts' home, Chloe vaguely remembered Cassie mentioning something about the two families' history. Claire's ex-husband was Desmond Gilbert, the second son of the Gilbert clan. They had a son, who, if she recalled correctly, was named Pax. Desmond had an affair with Suzanne, Diana's mother. After Pax's birth, the two families broke it off.

That made Cassie, Diana's cousin and Pax's cousin, too, albeit through different mothers.

Cassie had joined the Gilberts family pretty late. She had known Pax by nbut had never seen him in person. Cassie had definitely mentioned him before. But back then, Chloe had been so distracted she didn't even remember his name.

Out of nowhere, Chloe chuckled. She didn't look angry at all; in fact, she seemed rather calm, almost like she was making a joke. "Pax, you toldyou were working multiple jobs to fund your studies because your family was broke. You said they were all counting on you to study abroad, and you couldn't afford rent or even food..." Chloe hadn't expected to be duped like that.

Pax noticed Chloe's reaction and immediately panicked. "Chloe, please don't be mad. I wasn't trying to deceive you. You said you hated rich kids, and I was just scared you'd look down onif you knew who I really was." Pax's face showed a hint of sorrow. "Look, you're already looking down on me, aren't you?" Chloe noticed how pitiful Pax looked. Keeping her cool, she said, "I'm not mad. We met by chance, and we're just casual acquaintances. Nothing to get worked up about." She then turned to Cassie. "Let's go, Cassie." Cassie, having savored the , eagerly followed Chloe.

After walking a few steps, Chloe stopped and turned to Pax. "Don't forget to pick up your luggage." Before Cassie could respond, Connor chimed in, "I'll have somet pick it up. Ms. Chloe, thanks looking after Pax these pasto days." few Chloe didn't say anything. She just turned and walked away with Cassie.

Pax's face fell. “I need to explain everything to her," Pax said, stepping forward. "Pax, don't." Pax looked puzzled. "Why not?" "You know why. There's no future with Chloe. Do you even understan her background? Would your accept her? If you know all other and still pursue her, that's just selfish."

Connor's words were like a cold shower, shebacktoreality.

But inside, he was hurting. "Uncle Connor, I need a drink." Pax went to the booth and ordered drink after drink.

Finally, Connor couldn't take it anymore. "That's enough, Pax."

Pax was genuinely heartbroken. He had drunk quite a bit and was getting tipsy. His cheeks were flushed, and e as he laid his head on the table, a small dimple appeared on his cheek, making him look both pitiful and adorable. "Uncle Connor, do you know? This is the first tI've ever liked someone." Connor poured himself a drink. "How long have you known her?" "Seventeen days."

Pax looked at his watch and slurred, "To be precise, it's been- 's been 418 hours, 57 minutes and 23 seconds." Connor stared at him, utterly speechless. Ashburn X
