novelxo Chapter 370
"Alright." Diana finally sat down to start her breakfast. "Uncle Connor, want to join me?"
"I already ate."
Connor had just run into Chloe in the diner.
Chloe had suggested he have a proper talk with Diana, to offer her some emotional support. But for him, a man, to start such a conversation was, quite frankly, awkward.
Diana stopped talking as well and began to eat her breakfast. When Diana was almost done eating, Connor finally spoke up, "Diana, about last night..."
Diana's reaction was suddenly very intense. "Uncle Connor, please don't!"
Connor's gaze darkened. Diana turned away. She didn't want Connor to see her cheeks, now on the verge of exploding into a bright red.
She tried to control her emotions and finally, with a trembling voice, said, "I remember everything about last night."
Connor was worried and took a step forward. "Actually, about last night, you don't have to take it to heart..."
Connor didn't know how to comfort her. This wasn't something he was good at.
Diana was deeply disappointed, but this was within her expectations. Uncle Connor, too, had been in a state of drunkenness when they had become intimate.
"Uncle Connor, I'm an adult. I won't
dwell on it, and I will take
responsibility for my actions. Last night was an accident. I won't take it to heart, and you shouldn't either. Let's pretend it never happened and never bring it up again."
Connor could feel Diana's restraint and pain as she spoke, but there was nothing he could do. He could only sigh. "If you can see it that way, that's for the best."
A robot suddenly flew in from outside the door. A mechanical voice announced, "Please return to the castle villa immediately. We've got a couple's mission."
The car was already waiting outside.
Chloe was also in the car. Eventually,
the three of them returned to the castle villa together. On the way, none of them spoke. Chloe observed Diana's expression throughout. It was clear that she was feeling a mix of emotions, but mostly discomfort. Chloe guessed that Connor must have told her about last night.
Chloe wanted to comfort her but considering they were still being live-streamed, she said nothing.
Soon, they were dropped off at the beach in front of the villa. They discovered two helicopters parked on the sand Faith, Juztin, Pax, and Kalilah emerged from the
helicopters. They had also been net
brought to Angel Island. Faith and Juztin had been to the island before, so they looked unsurprised. Pax, however, looked around curiously. When he noticed Chloe and the others getting out of the limousine, he ran toward Chloe with a big smile.
"I've missed you."
Pax approached Chloe and boldly spoke. Chloe slapped away the hand he had intended to rest on her shoulder. Sternly, she said, "Don't."
Kalilah also walked over lethargically. She hadn't eaten properly in days. Now feeling faint from hunger, she asked, "Is there a buffet here? Where is it? Can someone take me there?"
Hearing Kalilah's request, Faith perked up. "The buffet here is pretty average in taste but has a wide variety. They have grilled eel, spicy eel strips, and their silverfish soup is quite something..." Hearing about these dishes, Kalilah couldn't help but start to gag again.
