Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

His voice was stern and cold, "You, stay here too."

Lovebot spun around, looking a bit confused. It watched as Connor and Chloe entered the woods. When it was about to follow them, Connor shot it a look that stopped it dead in its tracks.

Inside the control room, Zev shuddered involuntarily. He had a gut feeling that if Lovebot followed them, things would go south quickly.

After a moment's hesitation, Lovebot, tail metaphorically between its legs, retreated back to the beach.

Meanwhile, in the livestream chat:

[What's going on? Why did Mr. Connor and our Chloe disappear from the stream?]

[Is the production crew really that cheap? Other shows have a personal cameraman for each guest, but we only get drone surveillance?] [Chloe is doing way too much, handling all the dirty and tiring tasks. Isn't Connor a bit biased, letting Diana avoid the bugs while Chloe gets bitten?] [I just want to see Chloe and Pax. That sweet moment earlier really got to me, so sweet.]

Connor and Chloe ventured into the forest. Connor remembered the camera positions and, by retracing their steps from before, figured out the entire forest's camera coverage. He led Chloe along a path that avoided all the cameras.

After about ten minutes, they stumbled upon a clearing filled with various herbs. There were herbs for seasoning, wild onions, garlic, and even a peppercorn tree. Chloe picked some herbs and was ready to head back.

"Chloe, I need to tell you something."

Chloe knew Connor had deliberately avoided the cameras, so it must be important. She turned around, her expression indifferent,"Alright, speak."

"You've been on my sister's radar for a while now. She's not exactly stable. If she finds out you're important to me, she might kidnap you, or hire someone to stage an accident. She could have you killed!"

Connor couldn't stand Chloe's

indifference anymore. Even though it had only been a day since they arrived on the island, he had already seen the situation clearly. Since they were all on this island, Claire must be the one pulling the strings. Now that they were completely exposed, Claire had dragged Chloe into the fray and wouldn't let her off easily. He couldn't predict what might happen next, but he knew that keeping his distance wouldn't keep her out of harm's way. He had to find a way to protect her.

However, their relationship was in a terrible state. He needed to clarify things and stand united with her. And most importantly, he couldn't torture himself any longer. Every moment without her was

unbearable. He missed her too much.

Chloe frowned, "So what?"Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Connor walked towards Chloe and tentatively took her hand. Chloe didn't pull away. Connor continued, "Breaking up with you was all an act for my sister's benefit. I didn't want her to see that you are my Achilles' heel, putting you in danger. But now, you're already involved. Since we can't avoid it, I hope we can face it together."

"Oh my god, I'm so touched. You're truly noble, doing all this for my sake. You're so reserved and self-sacrificing. You're like a saint of love." Chloe's tone was exaggerated.
