Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

Chapter 348



"Yeah, I dated your uncle for three years, but it's over now."

"If it's over, why can't I go after you?"

"Pax, why can't you get it? I'm not into you."

Pax insisted, "Haven't you noticed how much I look like my uncle? I can dye my hair black, dress like him, and wear the same clothes. I can even act all cool and bossy like him. If that's your type, I can be just like him."

Chloe shot back, "No matter how much you change, you'll never be him. You're just copying."

Pax looked deflated, "So, you love my uncle too?"Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Chloe didn't hesitate, "Yes, I love him."

Pax was stunned.

This reminded him of the previous night when he asked his uncle the same thing. Their answers were exactly the same.

Love is so much heavier than liking someone.

Pax went quiet. He stared out at the vast ocean, and his voice seemed to drop a notch.

"If you love him, why did you break up?"

Chloe thought for a moment, then vaguely replied, "You're still young. You shouldn't meddle in adult stuff."

Pax felt frustrated.

Of course, Chloe couldn't mention that it involved too many people, even Claire.

Connor once said Pax was a kid living under the sun. He wanted to keep him away from the dark, damp places he didn't want him to see.

The conversation stalled, and Pax stood up, "I'm going for a swim."

Chloe hadn't snapped out of it yet.

Pax sprinted towards the ocean and dove into the water. At first, Chloe leisurely watched his swimming figure. After all, who doesn't enjoy a good- looking guy swimming?

But suddenly, in a moment of distraction, Chloe couldn't see Pax anymore. Her heart skipped a beat.

She jumped up abruptly.

"Pax!"

"Pax!"

Chloe ran towards the ocean, shouting as she went. But Pax was nowhere to be seen.

Her heart sank and then started to race.

The sea was calm, but who knew if there were dangerous currents or whirlpools? Getting swept away by an undercurrent was almost a death sentence.

Chloe felt her legs go weak but still ran towards the ocean, calling Pax's name loudly, until the water reached her waist.

Pax's head suddenly popped up about ten feet away from her in the water. "Chloe, were you calling me?"

Chloe's heart finally resumed beating. She let out a heavy sigh of relief. Then, scowling, she turned and walked back to the shore.

Pax realized Chloe seemed angry and hurried after her. "Chloe, don't be mad, I messed up.

Chloe had shouted so loudly.

Pax had heard her faintly

underwater, but he didn't come up right away. "Sorry, I was diving and found this beautiful conch shell. I wanted to give it to you."

Chloe looked down. Sure enough, Pax was holding a beautiful conch shell.

Chloe felt her heart soften a bit, but she still said coldly, "Do you know how worried I was about you?"

Pax scratched his head, "You don't need to worry about me. I know how to dive. My uncle taught me how to snorkel."

A lightbulb went off in Chloe's head. She suddenly realized something.

"Connor knows how to dive?"

"Of course he got his diving

bet

certificate when he was eleven. He's a free diving expert and can stay underwater for eight minutes without any gear."

Damn!
