Billionaire's Match Chapter 958
By the time Noah and Charlotte finished cleaning up and returned, Ethan had already left."Ethan didn't seem very happy tonight," Noah remarked, his gaze falling on the cake that had been moved. It now sat at the center of the dining table instead of the coffee table."That's just how he is—he gets upset at the slightest thing. Don't take it to heart."Though Charlotte said it lightly, her eyes dimmed just a little. She knew Ethan still harbored feelings for her. But she had already made her stance clear.Still, at times, when she saw the faint vulnerability hidden beneath his arrogance, she couldn't help but feel a trace of sympathy."I don't mind," Noah said, his voice steady. "But he is your friend—and colleague. I wouldn't want there to be any distance between you because of me."He paused briefly, then added, "After all, I'm just a passerby. It's never worth affecting the people around you for the sake of someone passing through.""You're not a passerby."Charlotte stepped

Ethan could no longer hold back and let out a cold laugh."Noah, what brings you back all of a sudden? I heard Lacuna's been taken down. You should be lying low too, shouldn't you?"Noah paused at the words.Charlotte shot Ethan a sharp glare.Of all things to bring up—he was clearly picking a fight on purpose."Ethan, if you really can't eat, then don't force yourself."Charlotte forced a smile at him, awkwardly trying to change the subject.But Ethan only pressed further. Leaning his elbow on the table, he edged closer toward Noah."How could I not? Sharing a meal with an internationally wanted mercenary—I'm honored.""Ethan!"Seeing Noah's expression darken, Charlotte slammed her hand against the table."Charlotte."But almost immediately, Noah spoke as well.He set down his bowl, lightly brushing a finger across the corner of his lips where a trace of sauce lingered. His voice was low."I'm leaving tomorrow. Don't worry, I won't drag you into anything."There was no

Charlotte set the cake down on the table, then turned and went straight into the kitchen, skipping even the basic courtesy of pouring Ethan a glass of water.It was clearly not a welcoming gesture.Ethan understood that perfectly well, yet he still sat quietly on the sofa, pretending not to notice.Out of the corner of his eye, however, he caught sight of the kitchen—where Charlotte and Noah stood close together, chatting and laughing.Charlotte handed Noah a freshly mixed drink. He took a spoonful, tasted it, and nodded. "Not bad."Then, without another word, he poured a glass and walked over to Ethan."Charlotte's special blend. It's good."Ethan's lips twitched slightly. He accepted the glass, only to set it down on the table. "Thanks.""By the way, how's your condition? Are your injuries healing?"Noah's tone was calm, but there was something unhidden in his gaze. It almost seemed like genuine concern.Ethan looked at him for a moment before replying, "Much better.""Tha

This unspoken understanding between them gradually dissolved the faint weariness Charlotte had always felt amid the city's bustle. The supermarket was clearly noisy and crowded, yet with Noah beside her—pushing the cart, silent but steady—she felt an unexpected sense of grounding, something warm and real, like life itself.At the checkout, Charlotte insisted on paying. Noah didn't argue; when he took the shopping bags, he simply lifted the two heaviest ones into his own hands."Let's go," he said.Charlotte's apartment was not far from the supermarket, just over a ten-minute walk. Night had deepened, and the streetlights stretched their shadows long across the pavement, occasionally overlapping. The early autumn breeze carried a hint of coolness, sweeping away the lingering stuffiness from inside the store."This time… how long will you stay?" Charlotte tilted her head to look at him, finally asking the question that had been circling in her mind. His movements were always elusive,

"I don't know. But I know what you're worried about. That's why I wanted to give Lenny a chance."The smile faded from Khloe's face. Looping her arm through Nick's, she spoke softly, like a quiet confession.Nick's thoughts were easy enough to read. Khloe acted on emotion, but his considerations were entirely rational. He was fiercely protective of his own. Between Michelle and Lenny, Nick would almost certainly prefer that Lenny not be the one who got hurt.Even if there were feelings between them, the Keller family was far from ordinary. Standing before Lenny was a gap in status he could hardly cross.And Nick knew Michelle too well—he was certain she would find it even harder to overcome that divide.…Night gradually fell, and the bustling city was bathed in a glow of neon lights.The streets in the central district were at their liveliest at this hour.With the workday over, pedestrians hurried along—some rushing home, others meeting friends, weaving through shopping malls

Since it was a win-win arrangement, Michelle was naturally willing to cooperate.However, with the new product not yet finalized and everything still in preparation—coupled with Nick and Khloe's recent wedding—Michelle hadn't had the chance to sit down with Hunt Group's team to work out the details.Khloe smiled brightly. "That's right. It's exactly because of that. Since neither Nick nor I will be at the company for now, we're worried there might be issues with coordination. So we thought we'd assign you a 'guardian escort.'""A guardian escort?" Michelle looked completely baffled. "What do you mean?"She turned to Nick, whose gaze shifted slightly—landing on Lenny.Lenny looked even more confused."Starting today, your collaboration will be fully handled by Lenny. He'll represent Hunt Group and oversee the entire process with you and your team, ensuring smooth communication and proper resource allocation."If you have any needs going forward, you can go directly to Lenny. And…

After a pause, Nick leaned closer to Khloe and whispered, "I'm tired… let's go back, alright?"Michelle felt her chest tighten.The same man who had spoken to her in a cold, cutting tone now spoke to Khloe with a warmth and attachment she had never seen before."Alright."Khloe nodded, giving hi

At noon, Angela returned to the Fox family estate from the hospital with Pete, her expression weary."Mommy, is Daddy really that tired? He's been sleeping for two whole days!"Pete looked up at the room upstairs, curiosity shining in his eyes as he asked Angela.Angela faced him, momentarily at

Clarice's plan to target Khloe was an open secret in the circle, and Winnie knew it all too well.Oscar had only agreed to comply with Clarice's demands for Khloe's sake.Though Winnie had no friends—and couldn't even count Khloe as one—she had always remembered kindness shown to her, never lettin

In the quiet VIP lounge of the airport, Nick was waiting.He glanced down at the project report for the trip, but his mind kept drifting back to Khloe's gaze as she left."What time is it?" he asked, setting his phone aside and turning to Lenny."Nine o'clock," Lenny replied, checking the time. N
