บททั้งหมดของ Billionaire's Match: บทที่ 111 - บทที่ 120

Nick's gaze never left Khloe. A faint smile tugged at his lips. "Khloe, I like this gift very much."Khloe had just started to rise when he lightly tugged her wrist. Off balance, she stumbled into his embrace, settling on his lap.His presence enveloped her; his breath brushed the shell of her ear. Instinctively, she drew back her neck, eyes lifting to meet his. In the brief blankness of that moment, her arms wrapped unconsciously around his neck.Nick's gaze lingered on her flushed earlobes. Leaning closer, he intended to speak near her ear, but she tilted her head, squirming. He hadn't pulled back in time, and his lips brushed lightly across her cheek.Khloe froze, her ears flaming all the way to her cheeks. Nick, equally startled, tightened his hands around her waist, stopping himself from going further. His voice was low, husky. "…Didn't duck in time?"Khloe hadn't even had a chance to react before the sudden contact interrupted her thoughts. Her pupils widened slightly, lashe

Their mingled breaths stirred a silent, smoldering desire between them. Yet Nick kept just enough restraint—he held Khloe gently for a moment, nothing more.When he finally released her, his hand brushed lightly over her flushed cheek. His eyes, deep as the ocean, burned with a quiet intensity restrained by willpower."Don't be afraid. I want more than tonight. The rest of our lives… we have all the time in the world."His voice was low and husky, clear yet feather-light, landing softly on Khloe's heart, igniting her blood as if it were aflame.There was no ambiguity in his words—he truly wanted to marry her, and he truly respected her.Khloe's heart was utterly undone.Before tonight, she had never entertained any other thoughts about Nick. But now… facing him, her pulse raced uncontrollably.…Monday arrived, and Khloe went to the Fox Group office as promised.Arthur and Trey were already waiting in the CEO's office.She wore a cobalt-blue plaid suit, radiant and elegant, h

Trey's tone was tense, every word dripping with concern for Khloe, as if she were being unreasonable.Khloe simply lifted the corner of her mouth in a faint smile, ignoring him. "Arthur, my insistence on fifty percent of the shares isn't out of stubbornness. Several of the company's core projects are stalled and urgently need strong leadership. If decision-making is fragmented, with approvals stacked layer upon layer and departments checking each other, we'll miss opportunities again. I need absolute control to ensure the strategy is fully executed, and to safeguard the multi-million-dollar projects at their most basic level."If you cannot align with my approach, then my staying has no purpose. I ask that you make a decision quickly—do we grow this company together, or do you process my resignation now?"Khloe's resolute stance left Arthur momentarily cornered. Her words were sound, and that 100-million-dollar project in her hands was undeniably tempting.Trey, utterly embarrass

The servant hurried to catch up. "Dinner's ready, sir. I've prepared it according to your tastes, since I heard you'd be home today.""And Pete?" Trey noticed that Pete had been unusually quiet today. Normally, the moment he returned, Pete would come out and make a fuss."Oh, Miss Angela took him."Trey froze for a moment before recalling—Pete had called that morning, insisting on seeing Angela. Helpless, he had let her take him temporarily. Angela hadn't even greeted him properly when she picked Pete up, clearly still sulking over something.But now, Trey didn't have the energy to care about Angela.At the dining table, five dishes were laid out—Trey's favorites. The centerpiece was a creamy soybean and pork trotter soup.He took the ladle handed to him by the servant and tasted it. The flavor was fine, but the pork trotter wasn't tender enough, and the broth lacked the richness he remembered. He frowned. "Why does it taste different from usual?""Different?" The servant paused

"Did something happen?" Khloe asked.Loretta's words immediately made Khloe anxious."I heard there's an emergency at the newly acquired lithium mine, and there have even been casualties," Loretta replied, uncertain whether to continue.Leon sighed and took over the explanation."Nick has always been extremely responsible. All the weight of the Hunt Group rests on his shoulders now, and he never allows himself a moment of slack. Whenever there's a crisis, he insists on handling it alone. Until the problem is resolved, he probably won't get any proper sleep or rest…""No rest? How can his body endure that?" Khloe's voice trembled with worry.She thought back to his recent car accident—though the injuries were minor, he still needed proper care and rest!"That's exactly what we worry about most," Loretta said, shaking her head anxiously. "He hates seeing us worry. Even when something happens, he won't tell us the details. These past few days, he hasn't come home at all. We only le
