Chapter 69

Author: Tangy Candy
Nick's question was blunt, leaving Khloe momentarily startled.

"It's not that I don't like it, it's just… we—"

"I've never once had a gift returned to me." Nick interrupted, his voice tinged with a cold authority that made the air seem heavier.

"Then…"

"If you don't like it, throw it away." His tone remained even, but the weight of someone used to command pressed down like a tangible force.

Khloe hesitated, then smiled faintly. "Then I'll keep it. The ring is beautiful—brighter than anythin

  • Billionaire's Match   Chapter 1012

    Michael didn't answer. He simply tilted his head and sealed Winnie's lips with his.The living room fell suddenly quiet. Warm golden light from the ceiling spilled over their entwined silhouettes, wrapping them in a soft glow.After a long while, Michael's breathing finally evened out. Only then did Winnie manage to create a small gap between them. Her hand rested around his neck as she asked in a low voice, "Michael, are you not angry anymore?""I am."His answer made her heart sink."Then… what do you want me to do?"Michael lowered his gaze to her.Her eyes were still red, her lips slightly swollen from his kisses. She looked at him helplessly, flustered and uncertain—almost as if she were inviting something.His thumb brushed lightly across the faint mark on her cheek."Winnie."His Adam's apple bobbed, his breath suddenly turning lighter.Confused, she looked at him—but in the next moment, as she met his gaze, realization dawned. Her face flushed instantly."I mean com

    Winnie was momentarily speechless.Michael continued, "Before I left, I heard you talking to Lucas. I trust you completely, so whatever you choose to do, I won't interfere. But did you think I was some easily fooled idiot?""Michael… I would never think that…"Winnie opened her mouth, but words failed her. She was flustered beyond reason.It was clear Michael was truly angry.For a moment, he couldn't rein in his emotions. Only when he noticed the tears gathering in her eyes did he realize he had been too harsh.He abruptly lowered his head, resting his elbow on his knee, his fist pressed against his brow.Lucas didn't know Michael had been kept in the dark and had assumed they had already discussed everything together. Only at the end did he realize he had misspoken, and could only smooth things over by telling Michael to focus on his own matters, assuring him that Winnie was being taken care of.But to Michael, those words were even more piercing.So she still didn't see him

    Nick smiled faintly, still holding Khloe's hand."Khloe, once these next couple of days of treatment are over, let's go back home."Her eyes stung with tears. She understood what he meant and refused immediately. "No…"What he truly wanted was to be selfish just once—to spend what remained of his life creating the most perfect memories he could. And yet, even that single moment of selfishness, he had given up for her."As long as I'm with you, whatever we do is enough."Khloe shook her head. "Nick, why do you always make this so hard for me…"He didn't answer. He only pulled her closer into his arms.After a moment, he added, "I've already had someone look into Olympus. Since they're based in Yustonia, it won't be easy to uncover anything domestically. You don't need to worry. Even if the sky falls, as long as I'm here, I won't let anyone hurt you."Suddenly, Khloe was reminded of that time in Naraida, when Nick had risked his life to save hers.Unless he died, he would never

    But for now, Lucas still hoped Nick would focus on his recovery. The company's affairs were, in the end, just business competition. Ups and downs were inevitable—nothing prospered forever.Nick shifted slightly inward on the bed and patted the space beside him."Come here."Khloe lay down, and he quickly pulled her into his arms.His hand rested at her waist, his palm naturally settling against her slightly rounded belly.They lay there quietly for a while."How have things been with the Morrison Group lately?" Nick finally asked in a low voice near her ear."Not bad."Khloe closed her eyes, leaning against his chest. His heartbeat was steady, neither fast nor slow."Khloe," he called suddenly."Mm?""Do you… want to go back home?"Khloe's eyes snapped open."Of course not. I want to stay with you. Wherever you are, I'll be there. Didn't we agree on that?"Nick lowered his gaze to her, his eyes dark and unfathomable."But it feels like your mind isn't with me. Ever since

    Khloe had assumed Michael was always with Winnie and would naturally know about all of this.But according to Lucas, Michael had been extremely busy these past couple of days and had even gone out of town today. If he had known what Winnie was planning, he would never have left her side.Winnie hesitated for a moment. "I haven't had the chance to tell him yet, but it's fine. It's all over now anyway."Khloe could already guess the truth. "Didn't have the chance, or chose not to say anything?"Winnie fell silent under the question.It wasn't that she deliberately wanted to hide it from Michael. She just didn't want him to worry—afraid that would make her hesitate and hold back.Perhaps there was also a part of her that wanted to face the Olson family on her own.Michael had always been the one protecting her. This time, she wanted him to see that she was no longer the same as before."Forget it. I'll tell Michael myself. If he gets angry, I'll apologize," Khloe said.Winnie qui

    Winnie nodded, indicating she understood.After leaving the police station, she immediately called Lucas.As if he had been expecting it, he answered almost instantly.Though he wasn't physically present, his subordinates had been reporting the situation to him in real time.Khloe had personally asked him for help—there was no way he would allow anything to go wrong for Winnie.But what Winnie wanted to ask about wasn't anything else—it was Veronica.In the original plan, Veronica hadn't even been part of it. So when Mrs. Olson accused her earlier, she had been genuinely surprised. But this couldn't possibly be a coincidence.Lucas gave a faint smile, neither confirming nor denying. "They're all enemies anyway. Taking care of them together just saves effort. Besides, she brought it on herself."When Mrs. Olson arranged for those men to humiliate Winnie, Veronica had been right there. The mother and daughter were equally malicious.What they didn't know was that the ones contac

    Watching Trey drop to his knees, Khloe frowned, undisguised disgust spilling across her face.She had once thought he was simply scum—calculating, manipulative, using women without remorse, a thoroughly hypocritical and sinister man.But seeing him now, exposed and stripped bare, without even a sh

    Stella felt a pang of unease at the words.She had been serving Lauren diligently every day, yet the older woman found herself thinking fondly of Khloe instead.But the truth was undeniable—Khloe really was thoughtful and meticulous when it came to taking care of others. The servants reported that

    At first, Trey's indulgence toward Khloe, the endless pampering—it had all been a calculated move, a way to control her completely.But now, he almost forgot that original intent. He found himself thinking only that it would be enough if Khloe came back.Perhaps it was the chaos of company matters

    At that very moment, across the narrow road, a familiar figure slipped into Ethan's line of sight.The woman was dressed in casual athletic wear, a large travel backpack slung over her shoulders, standing at the crosswalk waiting for the light to change. As Ethan noticed her, she seemed to glance o
