Chapter 269

Teddy quickly took off.

Meanwhile, Pat was already up on stage, belting out a love song with his unique voice. The whole bar was practically spellbound. But just as he was wrapping up his tune, the place was plunged into darkness. A power outage.

The second the lights went out, chaos erupted. No one had a clue what was going on. Chloe was just as startled. The bar was pitch black, a rare occurrence that shouldn’t happen once in a blue moon. Next to her, Cassie was grumbling.

“The owner must be out of his mind, letting something this basic wrong. Just wait till all the customers start demanding refunds. It’s gonna be a mes

Chloe chuckled softly in the dark. She reached for a glass of wine on the table, intending to take a sip, but her wrist was quickly grabbed. Someone pulled her with a firm grip.

Her first instinct was to fight back, but this person seemed to anticipate her moves perfectly. He grabbed her other hand and led her outside. By this point, Chloe had figured out who it was. Amidst the darkness and the crowd’s commotion, she stopped resisting and followed him.

Only Cassie noticed something was off. “Chloe, where are you? Don’t leave me here! I’m scared of the dark…”

“Why are you here?” He demanded.

Connor stepped back, putting some space between them. Chloe’s lips twisted into a sarcastic smile. “Mr. Connor, don’t you think you’re overstepping a bit?”

She didn’t want to waste another word on him and turned to leave, but Connor pulled b

A flash of impatience crossed Chloe’s face. “Why should I be patient with someone who keeps harassing me? I’m not your mother.”

Connor’s face tightened, like a storm was brewing. After a moment, he let out a bitter laugh. “Oh, I see. Found someone new and forgot all about your old love, huh?” Chloe’s expression turned icy. “What are you talking about?”
