Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

Chapter 359



No sooner had the words left their mouths than Barrett and Diana came down the spiral staircase together. Diana's eyes widened in surprise when she saw Chloe and Connor approaching side by side. Could it be that they had paired up too?

Barrett and Diana reached them, and Barrett couldn't help but tease, "So, Chloe and Connor, you two hit it off as well, huh?"

Chloe replied with a touch of nonchalance, "It's just the prize for winning the cooking contest on the show."

Diana felt a wave of relief wash over her. She had been regretting her decision ever since she got on the plane with Barrett. She had never gone against Connor's wishes before and knew he was only looking out for her. She couldn't help but wonder if Connor would stop caring about her now.

"Uncle Connor," Diana began, her voice hesitant. "I need to talk to you."

Barrett, sensing the moment, said, “Alright, I'll leave you two to it. Catch up with me later." Chloe turned to the butler and said, "Please, show me to my room." She then followed the butler, leaving Diana and Connor alone.

Diana led Connor to a secluded garden, far from any cameras. "Uncle Connor, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have been so stubborn," Diana apologized, her voice filled with remorse.

Connor's face was serious. “Diana, you know the situation we're in. This whole reality show is Claire's doing. She hasn't made her move yet, and I don't know what her true intentions are. We have to be careful with every step. I can protect you, but you have to cooperate with me.”

Diana's guilt grew deeper. "I won't act out again, Uncle Connor. Whatever you want me to do, I'll do it."

Connor nodded. "Keep your distance from Barrett. I can't be sure, but his eagerness towards you might not be genuine."

"I'll do as you say, Uncle Connor."

Connor's expression softened. "Just be cautious and don't give Claire any chance to exploit us." He gently patted Diana's head. "Be good, now. Go back."

Connor turned to leave, but Diana stood rooted to the spot, watching him. Every gesture, every word reminded her of the Connor she had known and loved. He had taken a few steps away when Diana, biting her lip, made a bold decision She ran up to him and hugged him from behind, her eyes tightly shut, her body trembling with nerves. Content

“Uncle Connor, let me be with you, please?"

Diana's confession came out in one breath, and she couldn't stop trembling. She clung to Connor tightly. It was almost laughable. Everyone thought she was Uncle

from the year he rescued her from the basement, they had never even hugged. She had always missed his scent, a scent that made her feel utterly safe.

Connor stood still, silent. Diana's heart sank further with each passing second. Finally, Connor gently pried her fingers open, and Diana felt as though she was being pulled underwater, unable to breathe.

After letting go of Diana, Connor turned to face her.
