NovelAppChapter 320 Chapter 320 Chapter 320 Chloe couldn't be bothered. She just lay back down and went to sleep.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDiana curled up on her bed, still puzzled. Why hadn't Uncle Connor given her his vote? Weren't they the closest out of everyone on the island? Even like Juztin and Faith, who, despite having no romantic feelings, voted for each other out of friendship because of their close bond.
Could it be that Uncle Connor had found someone else here who made his heart flutter? Was it Faith? Surely not Kalilah. The only person Diana never suspected was Chloe. First off, it was clear they had a terrible relationship. Second, it was obvious Pax liked Chloe, so it seemed unlikely Uncle Connor would be interested in his nephew's crush.
