Chapter 111

Author: Tangy Candy
Nick didn't take Khloe downstairs; instead, he pressed the elevator button for the rooftop.

Khloe was a little surprised. At this hour, surely he wasn't planning to show her the stars? The thought flashed briefly before vanishing. Nick wasn't that kind of romantic, and he certainly wouldn't do something so childish.

Sure enough, there were no stars visible from the rooftop. Instead, a helicopter was stationed at the edge of the building.

The strong wind whipped at their clothes, and Khloe looked at him in astonishment.

"Nick… what is this?"

From the helicopter, Lenny leaped down and strode toward her. "Get on the helicopter! You'll see once you're on board."

There was a teasing smile in his eyes as he nodded at Nick, silently confirming that everything was arranged.

Nick didn't answer. He removed his coat from his shoulders and draped it over Khloe. "Cold?"

The coat carried his characteristic crisp, masculine scent, mingled with a faint hint of pine and sandalwood.

    "Maybe it was just a misunderstanding," Trey said coldly, brushing past Stella before she could say any more, and stepped into the hospital room.Seeing Khloe, Lauren seemed to brighten immediately. She reached for Khloe's hands, showering her with praise and complimenting how much more beautiful Khloe had become since they last met.But this time, as she spoke to Khloe, Khloe could sense a subtle reserve in Lauren's tone. It lacked the genuine warmth and sincerity that Lauren had shown when she'd supported Khloe and Trey's marriage."Grandma, I brought you some supplements. Please take care of yourself and don't let anything make you angry—it's never worth it," Khloe said softly, her concern for the elderly woman unchanged. Even if fate had separated them from being a family again, she would always remember the care and protection Lauren had shown her."Khloe, you really have no sense at all," Alicia sneered. "Grandma treated you so well, and now that she's sick, you bring her som

    "I've had a full check-up," Khloe said calmly. "My health is perfectly fine. There's no issue with infertility. If you don't believe me, I can send you the report right now. I've always kept it on my phone."Her composed tone hit Stella like a thunderclap. She had been ready to scold Khloe for her ungrateful, unbridled attitude, but this single statement dropped a bomb that left her dumbstruck."What did you say? You're not infertile? That's impossible… Trey adopted a child for you…" Stella stammered in disbelief.Alicia saw the opportunity and immediately joined in mockery. "Khloe, you're really good at lying. You say your check-up was fine—but you two haven't had a child in two years? Maybe my brother's the one with the problem?""That's possible," Khloe said with a faint, cold smile, her eyes narrowing. "You really should ask Trey why. My health is perfect, yet he didn't dare… for two years. And then he adopted some random child just to cover it up."Alicia froze, her hand flyi

    Khloe said, "Pete wants Angela to be his mom. If that's the case, I can't force it. You see, it's either you marry Angela, or sever the adoption relationship with Pete and let him go completely to her."Khloe's voice was calm but sharp, cutting straight to the core of Trey's guilt. Her gaze on him was cold and precise, like a thin blade. Trey felt a pang of unease and hurriedly retorted, "What are you saying? How could I marry someone else when my wife is you?"He then sized up the situation, pulling the still-throwing-a-tantrum Pete off the floor. Wincing, he smacked the boy hard on the bottom a few times."Stop crying!"Pete's sobs faltered under Trey's stern presence, leaving him pouting and full of grievance."I'm telling you, Khloe is your real mom! Haven't you learned your lesson? Angela was only with you for a few days. Are you already bored of living well and trying to leave our family to go back to the orphanage?"Trey bit his teeth as he spoke the last line. Pete was

    Khloe knew Lauren's health was fragile. Even though the elderly lady disliked being disturbed, Khloe would still make sure someone regularly brought high-quality supplements to Lauren, under Trey's name."Sigh… I'm getting old. One can't live forever, right? All these old ailments… they're really just emotional problems. The doctor said I got too worked up, my temper flared, so now I have to be observed in the hospital for a few days. I've been thinking about you these past few days… could you come see me?"Lauren's voice was weak, tinged with melancholy.Khloe felt a pang of guilt. Lauren had gone out of her way to call—could her sudden illness have something to do with Khloe moving out? At over eighty, Lauren's mind was remarkably sharp. Trey's clumsy lies might not fool her at all."All right. I have something to take care of right now, but I'll come see you later. Send me the hospital room info," Khloe said without hesitation, recalling how much care Lauren had shown her in the

    "Grandma, please let me explain. I only met up with Angela for work. Recently, Khloe hasn't been at the company, and many projects had no one in charge. Angela happened to have the right connections to help out. Dad knows this too. Last night, I met Angela purely for work reasons. She fell ill, so I took her to the hospital…"Trey quickly composed himself, his face calm and expression neutral as he explained. His gaze briefly swept over Stella.Stella knew better than to lose her temper now.Lauren still held control over a portion of the family's assets. It was wiser to calm her first, so Stella stepped in to help Trey smooth things over:"Mom… I already knew about this. And I've already scolded Trey! He could have asked anyone for help, but of all people, he picked Angela! But you've really misunderstood—there are no problems between Trey and Khloe. There's no way he'd entangle himself with Angela. It's all for the company.""You're saying… Arthur knows about this too?" Lauren t

    Stella had strictly warned every single person in the household—no one was allowed to breathe a word about Angela having lived there. Not one syllable. Absolutely no one could find out."Madam, it wasn't me! I swear I didn't say anything…" the maid blurted out, panicked.Pete shook off the maid's hand and darted straight to Trey's side. "Dad! Why did you make Angela leave? I want her back. I want Mom—"He didn't finish. Trey grabbed his shoulder in a tight, punishing grip, cutting him off with a furious, "Shut up."Stella's expression turned even harsher. She twisted the child's wrist so roughly his face contorted in pain and he wailed."You little brat! If your great‑grandmother hears you running your mouth, I'll skin you alive!"Stella had never agreed to adopting a child. A child who wasn't flesh and blood—of course he'd be disobedient and impossible to manage.Pete broke down in loud sobs.Trey quickly pulled him behind himself. "Mom, he's just a child.""You can go in now
