NovelEnglishChapter 280 Everything had just unfolded so quickly. Connor caught every word they said, loud and clear. When Pax hopped into the car, he looked surprised. "Uncle Connor, what are you doing here?" Connor's expression was as cool as a cucumber. "Just passing by." Pax seemed to be in high spirits. He even rubbed his cheek with one hand.
