Chapter 292


    However, the mattresses needed manual intion.


    Diana didn''t know how to set up a tent, so she was busy inting an air mattress instead. So far, she had only managed to inte one.


    Pax, getting the gist of the situation, couldn''t resist a tease, "You really know how to spoil people, huh?"


    Inting an air mattress was supposed to be the easiest task, and his uncle had asked him to help out.


    Pax knew about the rtionship between his uncle and Diana. If Diana married his uncle, she would technically be his aunt-inw. But Diana was also his half-sister from his dad''s side. Pax tried not to think about the messiness of their rtionship too much.


    Even though Diana was his half-sister, they had never met or interacted in over twenty years.


    As Pax approached, Diana''s gaze grew cautious.


    Pax walked over casually, "Hey, sis, need a hand?"Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    In Pax''s eyes, Diana was family, despite not being close to the Gilbert side of the family. Seeing a face that looked a bit like his own felt surreal.


    Diana stiffened at being called "sis." She had always known she had a brother, a golden child destined to inherit the Gilbert family business. She had always worried he might resent her because of ire. But hearing him acknowledge her was both surprising and delightful.


    Diana nodded. "Pax, thank you."


    Connor noticed how well Pax and Diana were getting along. Suddenly, he stood up straight and called over to Chloe, "Chloe,e here for a sec.” Chloe frowned, wondering what Connor wanted. With countless viewers watching the live stream, she didn''t want to show any signs of irritation. Chloe walked over, her face expressionless.


    "Connor, what do you need?"


    Connor replied simply, "I need your help, Chloe."


    Without another word, Chloe started helping set up the tent. The two worked in silence, quickly erecting the tent. The final steps were to secure the guy lines and hammer in the stakes. There were twenty stakes in total, and Chloe worked fast.


    She had just hammered in one and reached behind her to grab another from the backpack, but her fingers suddenly brushed against something


    warm.


    Chloe turned her head and found Connor also reaching into the bag for a stake. She was about to pull her hand away, but Connor grabbed it firmly instead.


    Keeping her cool, Chloe looked


    steadily at Connor, unsure of what he was up to. Her hand was hidden in therge, ck bag, and Connor was now tightly holding it. In that moment, Connor seemed to hold onto something crucial. He was unwilling to let go.


    What was he thinking?


    Chloe tried to pull her hand out, but Connor held on tightly. Connor himself seemed a bit stunned. His fingers had brushed against Chloe''s hand unintentionally, and he felt that smooth touch and her warmth He had grasped her hand almost instinctively, like a person lost at sea suddenly finding a piece of


    driftwood. The moment their skin


    touched, a spark surged through his body. God knows how much he had missed...
