Chapter 270



Connor suddenly grabbed Chloe's arm.

"Chloe, you were exchanging looks and toasting with the bar's singer. Don't tell me you two don't know each other?" Connor was probing. He was almost certain in his heart, but he didn't want to confront Chloe about Pax's identity without confirmation.

So from the moment she had been in the booth, Connor had his eyes on her. Chloe just laughed.

"So what if I know him? What's it to you if we were exchanging looks?" Chloe's demeanor was indifferent throughout, which only seemed to fuel Connor's frustration.

"Chloe, I won't meddle, but we've shared a bed for three years. I don't want to see you get hurt. You caan be anyone but him."

A flicker of confusion passed through Chloe's eyes, followed by amusement. She brushed her hair behind her ear. "Connor, don't act all noble and concerned for me, okay? I don't need it. Who I date, hold hands with, kiss, or even sleep with-is none of your business now. If you're not afraid of getting hurt again, keep harassing me."

Chloe's words struck a nerve with Connor.

"Holding hands? Kissing? Sleeping together? You've thought that far ahead?"

Chloe found it utterly ridiculous. She didn't know what was going through his mind, but she didn't care to engage further. "Connor, let go of me. You know you can't beat me."

Connor had seen her effortlessly throw Lucas, who was over six feet tall, over her shoulder and dislocate Lisa's jaw with a flick of her wrist. Still, Connor didn't let go.

"Do you even know who he is?" Connor's voice was so cold it seemed to carry a frosty chill.

Chloe sensed something was amiss but couldn't be sure. "Connor, what are you trying to say?"

"Just come with me," Connor insisted, pulling her hand.

Chloe, however, shook off his hand. "I can walk on my own."

In the end, she ended up following Connor. Deep down, she had a vague idea but wasn't sure about her guess.

Connor's madness stemmed from

е

seeing her interaction with Pax. He

knew Pax, and Pax's identity was far fmple, which explained Connor's reaction.

The sudden blackout earlier was probably Connor's doing, but why?

Who was Pax? Why did he make Connor almost lose control?

Her curiosity was piqued.

They had been in a private room of the bar, and upon returning to the main hall, it was brightly lit again.

Cassie was still in the booth,

incessantly calling Chloe. Upon seeing Chloe walk in, she hurriedly approached her. "Chloe, where did you go? I thought you were kidnapped."

Then, noticing Connor trailing behind, Cassie scoffed, "So you were kidnapped, huh?"

Stepping forward, she slung an arm

Chloe's shoulder. "How did it

the stick, did you?" Content Belongs to Narugi.Org
