Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

It all started because Chloe had accidentally answered Claire's call. She'd definitely track his location.

Pax asked Connor to intercept the tracking and change his location. It was a small task, and Connor handled it quickly, changing Pax's location to Burkina Faso.

"When did you get to Riverbrook? Why didn't you tell me?" Connor suddenly asked.

Pax scratched his head. "I've been here for a week, Uncle Connor. This trip wasn't for you."

Connor raised an eyebrow. "So, it's for that girl?"

A hint of red flushed Pax's cheeks, but he didn't directly answer. "Uncle Connor, she's coming over tonight. I want you to meet her."

Then Pax frowned. "Uncle Connor, just act like a regular corporate exec, okay? She doesn't like rich guys."

Connor chuckled. "Are you sure she doesn't know who you are? Or is it a game of playing hard to get?"

Pax retorted, "Uncle Connor, not everyone has ulterior motives. How many people in the world even know my real identity?"

Pax's point was valid. He had a unique background, being the eldest grandson of both the Sartori and Gilbert families. His status was incredibly prestigious, which naturally attracted a lot of attention.

To protect him and to help him grow, Claire had raised him abroad, living as an ordinary person. He only came back on holidays or for family birthdays and never appeared in the media. Only a select few within certain circles knew his name. Even fewer had seen him in person, especially in a place like Riverbrook.

Pax continued, "And she's like a big sister to me, not the type you're thinking of."

"Wait, is she older than you?" Connor asked.

Pax nodded. "Yeah, she's a few years older, but... she's really pretty." He looked a bit shy. "Exceptionally dazzling."

Connor sighed. "I've always told you

Pax huffed. "You're worse than Mom with the nagging."

"Just be nice when she shows up later. Don't scare her off," Pax added.

Connor didn't say much more, but he was inwardly worried. It was clear Pax was head over heels.

After a while, Chloe still hadn't

There was no further explanation. Disappointment flashed in Pax's eyes. Connor saw the message, too, and smirked. If this woman knew Pax's identity, she must be O something else.

Connor ordered two drinks, handing one to Pax. "So, you're in love. Does your mom know?"Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Pax shook his head. "Of course not, Uncle Connor. You have to keep this secret. Don't tell Mom."

He took a sip of his Long Island Iced Tea. "And she doesn't even know I like her yet."

"When are you planning to tell her?" Connor asked.

Pax thought for a moment. "I plan to confess here tomorrow. Uncle Connor, I need your help to set the scene."
