Chapter 279



Chloe's sharp mind froze for a second. But she quickly regained her composure, taking a step back.

"Pax, I slapped you for your own good. There's no need to retaliate like this," she said, her earlier bravado completely gone. Regret flickered in her eyes. She really shouldn't have slapped him-she might have hurt the poor kid's head.

Pax's gaze was more serious than ever. "Chloe, I'm not joking. I really like you."

For a moment, Chloe was at a loss for words. She had never had anyone confess their feelings to her before. She'd only ever been involved with two people: Lucas and Connor. Her relationship with Lucas was natural-they had grown up together as childhood sweethearts. A simple handhold was all it took; everything was left unspoken. Lucas never actually confessed his feelings.

Being with Connor was even more random. They slept together the first time they met, and it turned into her keeping him as her boy toy. Naturally, he had not confessed either. Even if he had, Chloe wouldn't have taken it seriously.

But now, a young man was earnestly confessing his feelings to her... His eyes were shining like stars in the night sky. His face still held traces of youth, yet he was incredibly serious. You could see the visible tension on his face, his ears as red as the sunset. His fluffy, soft, blonde hair made him look like a fearless lion cub. Despite his cuteness, there was an inherent boldness about him.

"Pax, I'm married. I have a husband." Chloe had collected herself. Her first instinct was to reject him and to do so thoroughly. It was the best excuse; she didn't need to explain much.

But Pax said, "Chloe, I know you're single right now."

"Even if I were single, I wouldn't consider you as a love interest."

"Why not?"

l

"No reason. I just don't like you." Chloe felt a bit panicked inside. She had always seen Pax as a younger brother, even a child. This sudden confession had caught her completely off guard. She saw the hopeful joy in his eyes and knew she had to burst his bubble. For such a naive, privileged young man, it

seemed a bit cruel. But it had to be done.

Chloe steadied herself. "Pax, I don't like you. In my eyes, you're not even a man. I see you as a child. Don't

delude yourself. Go back to your et

mansion and enjoy your privileged life. Farewell." Chloe was decisive. After rejecting him, she turned

around and headed back to her car.

Pax was downcast for a few seconds. Then he shouted after Chloe, "Chloe, I like you, and I won't give up that easily!"

Chloe quickened her pace. Pax added, "And, I'm 21 years old. I am a man, not a child." Chloe was walking too quickly in her high heels and stumbled.

Pax, watching from behind, couldn't help but chuckle.

Chloe quickly got into her car and

sped away. After her car had left, another car a black Rolls Royce, drove up and stopped in front of Pax. Pax opened the passenger door and got in. Mr. Mark, the driver, was the chauffeur. Connor was sitting in the backseat. In fact, his car had been parked not too far away from the moment Pax started waiting.
