I protect you because I want you to become independent, maybe even surpass Claire's achievements, not to get entangled in this so-called romance. You have your own mission, for yourself and your family. I can't protect you forever."

Diana could barely listen anymore. "Uncle Connor, are you rejecting me because of Chloe?"
