Chapter 400
Chapter 400
She jumped out of the car and sprinted straight towards Connor's vehicle. She never expected Uncle Connor to come looking for her. And she certainly didn't think he'd risk his own life, fighting tooth and nail to save her. Just a second later, and those lions could have jumped through the sunroof and torn her to shreds.
"Uncle Connor, Uncle Connor..."
He still cared about her the most. He would even give up his life for her.
Diana's tears were already streaming down uncontrollably. She wanted to throw herself into Connor's arms. She wanted to shout out how much she missed him, how scared she was, how grateful she felt...
On the other side of the scene, Chloe, Pax, and the others were also getting out of the car. Connor stepped out too, visibly shaken. When that lion had pounced earlier, he had been ready to slam on the gas again, prepared to fight with everything he had. But his chances of winning were slim. After all, it was the king of the jungle, fierce and powerful.
Chloe's shooting skill was something Connor had never expected, and her aim was spot on. He was still somewhat in shock. He saw Chloe walking towards him and slowly opened his arms.
Diana saw this and was slightly stunned before her heart swelled with emotion. Was Uncle Connor finally showing his true feelings for her in the face of life and death?
Without thinking, Diana quickened her pace and ran towards Connor. Just a few meters away, she opened her arms, ready for the grand hug.
In the next moment, Connor ran over too, but he bypassed her entirely. He didn't even glance her way. Instead, he ran straight to Chloe and hugged her tightly, with all his might. Chloe staggered back a few steps, her body leaning backwards, but Connor didn't let her go. He was a whole head taller than Chloe, but in this moment, he seemed like a child, resting his head on her shoulder. His arms gradually tightened as if he wanted to meld with her.
Chloe felt breathless. "Connor, let me go! Hey, I can't breathe! Connor, I just saved you, and now you want to..."Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Her words were cut off as Connor sealed her mouth with a kiss. Chloe was stunned for a moment, too shocked to react. His kiss was urgent, fierce, and desperate, like a flood of emotions that could no longer be contained. Chloe's mind went blank, soon filled with his familiar taste. As her consciousness cleared, she knew what was happening, but this time, she didn't push him away. Instead, she found herself unconsciously hugging his waist.
Everyone who witnessed this was stunned. Faith was shocked for a moment before switching to a spectator's expression, even eager to get gloser for a better view. Juztin pulled her back, saying, "Faith, don't go over there and ruin this moment.'
Pax was filled with astonishment that quickly turned into heartbreak. Unable to watch any longer, he turned his back.
