Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

Chapter 366



Barrett was biting down hard, not saying a word.

Chloe had been watching from outside for quite a while before she walked in. "Need a hand? I've got a knack for dealing with the stubborn," she quipped.

Barrett, sprawled on the floor, shuddered at her words. But Connor spoke up, "It's okay. I've got this."

Chloe glanced at Barrett, who looked half-dead on the floor. "What's the plan for him now?"

Connor replied calmly, "I'll handle it. He's still useful."

Chloe didn't doubt Connor's abilities. She knew he wasn't the type to go easy on anyone.

Connor gently stroked Chloe's back, comforting her. "Don't think about it anymore. It wasn't your fault. Without you today, Diana would've faced the same nightmare. You've been her shelter in this storm Chloe. You're amazing, truly remarkable." Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

"Uncle Connor... Uncle Connor..." Diana murmured in her sleep, still calling out for him.

Chloe said, "You should stay with her. Explain everything to her tomorrow. No matter what, she's been hurt, and only your comfort can truly console her."

Chloe didn't want to get involved in their issues. This was between them and Claire. How they handled it was up to them.

Connor pulled up a chair and sat by the bed.

"Uncle Connor, don't leave me. I'm so scared..." Diana murmured.
