Chapter 291 Connor tried to reassure her with a gentle smile, "Don't worry, I've got this." Chloe stood across from them, watching the scene unfold with a clear view. For sreason, an unexpected sadness tugged at her heart.
Cassie had once confided in her. Diana was the apple of the King of Eldridge's eye. He had cherished and protected her for years. Everyone knew Diana was destined to be the future wife of his. Connor had been waiting all this tfor her to grow up.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNow, it was clear that Connor treated Diana very differently than he did to her. In front of Diana, he was a confident and fearless man, but with Chloe, he was more submissive and eager-to-please.
Chloe had always maintained that she was just in it for fun and not for love. Yet, Connor often showed such deep affection that she almost believed it was real. That fleeting moment of sadness quickly passed; she wasn't one to dwell on the past. What's done is done. It was tto move on and treat each other like strangers.
Connor took charge. "Alright, let's split into two groups. One group will stay here to set up shelter, and the other will go find water, food, or any other supplies left behind by the production team." Everyone nodded in agreement as soon as Connor spoke.
"Who's going to look for supplies, and who's staying to set up the tents?" Barrett asked.
Connor bent down, picked up ssticks from the ground, and said, "We'll draw sticks. Whoever gets the long stick stays to set up the big tent; the short stick goes to find supplies." They started drawing sticks, and in the end, Connor, Diana, Chloe, and Pax stayed to set up the big tent. The others headed to the nearby forest to search for water and food.
There were two tents to set up. Chloe grabbed a package, unpacked it, and began assembling the frwith practiced ease.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmPax walked over, "Hey, Chloe, letgive you a hand." Chloe shot him a cold look. "I can handle this myself. I don't need your help." But Pax ignored her frosty demeanor and got to work. Given the size of the tent, it was indeed a challenge for one person to manage alone. Chloe eventually stopped trying to send Pax away. They worked together and had the tent up in half an hour.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Connor and Diana were struggling. They hadn't even finished setting up the main structure. It wasn't really Connor's fault. Diana had no clue how to help, so Connor had to do everything on his own.
Pax leaned in and whispered to Chloe, "You know, my uncle hates doing tedious chores like this. At home, he wouldn't even bother picking up a spilled oil bottle, but look at him now, doing all this for Diana." Chloe was taken aback. Connor hated these kinds of tasks? For the past three years, he had taken care of nearly all the household chores cleaning, cooking, everything-without ever showel
hint of impatience or reluctance. That was why she had never suspected never anything about his true nature. a
When Connor looked up, he saw Pax whispering to Chloe and frowned slightly Pax, cover here and help." Pax quickly ran over. "Sure, Uncle... Connor, what do you needto do?"
Connor pointed to another package.
"You and Diana, go inflate these air mattresses. Ashburn > Besides the two big tents, the package also included eight small air mattresses.
