Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

Most of the food the other group had found was inedible, leaving everyone famished.

Faith sighed, "What are we going to do? I'm starving. I could really go for some sea urchin sashimi, crab, truffle foie gras, and cheese risotto right about now..."

At the mention of these delicacies, everyone's stomachs began to grumble.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

"Chloe, what should we do?" Faith turned to Chloe.

Chloe hadn't planned on stepping up. She had only taken charge earlier because it was a life-or-death situation. But now, for some reason, everyone was staring at her with hopeful eyes.

"Chloe, you know so much; you must have a solution, right?" Barrett chimed in.

Pax looked at her with puppy eyes. "Chloe, I'm so hungry."

Diana pursed her lips, looking at Chloe like a child waiting to be fed.

Connor and Juztin stood silently among the group, not voicing any opinions.

All eyes were inexplicably focused on Chloe.

Chloe had wanted to stay low-key. But now, faced with a group of helpless people, staying passive would mean starvation for all.

"Juztin picked some mushrooms earlier. A few of them are edible. We need him to lead us back to get more mushrooms. But more importantly, we need to find fresh water," Chloe said.

She continued, "So, I suggest Juztin and I go for more mushrooms. If the rest of you have the energy, look for a freshwater source nearby. Let's split up."

Kalilah, who had just returned from dealing with snake eggs, muttered under her breath, "Chloe, you just want some alone time with Juztin, don't you?"

Chloe shot back, "Then why don't you go with Juztin?"

Kalilah immediately fell silent. For some reason, she couldn't stand Chloe's attitude. Chloe acted as if everyone else was helpless without her.

Pax was unhappy with the plan. "Chloe, I want to go with you."

"No, if we run into danger, I'll have to protect you," Chloe replied.

Pax knew she was referring to the

s danger, I'll climb a tree. I

won't hold you back."

Chloe pointed to a nearby coconut tree. "If you can climb trees, then go pick some coconuts."

There were plenty of coconut trees

around, but without any tools, they couldn't get to the coconuts. Otherwise, finding a freshwater source wouldn't be an issue.

Chloe ignored Pax and turned to Juztin. "Juztin, let's go."

Juztin, still wearing his sunglasses, didn't reveal his expression but took the lead.

Pax didn't follow. If Chloe told him to pick coconuts, he would do that. He wanted to prove he was useful. Connor watched as Chloe and Juztin walked away. Without a word, he started to follow them.

Diana was surprised. She wanted to follow, too, but Barrett blocked her path. "Daina, hello?" he asked.

Diana's eyes were still on Connor. She glanced at Barrett and said, "Mr. Barrett, do you need something?"

"I felt a connection from the moment I saw you. I just want to get to know you better."
