บททั้งหมดของ Billionaire's Match: บทที่ 121 - บทที่ 130

The living room fell into a hushed quiet. Khloe's concerned questions came one after another, each word gradually wearing down Nick's defenses."Khloe." Nick's voice suddenly deepened, heavy and low. "I really am fine."Hearing her name, Khloe felt a jolt in her chest, as if awakening from a dream. She paused, suddenly aware of herself—was she overstepping?"I… I'm sorry. I know I may be bothering you by saying so much. But no matter if you like hearing it or not, I have to say it: your health is the most important thing. You must care for yourself first. I don't want to see you hurt over anything because…"Her words trailed off abruptly."Because what?" His voice softened, his dark eyes glistening, fixed intently on the crease between her brows."Because…" Khloe bit her lip, her voice tinged with sadness. "…I would feel heartbroken."The last few words were barely audible, yet Nick caught them clearly."Khloe…" His hoarse voice softened even further, like a damp string pressed

"Lenny said you haven't been eating properly these past few days. If your throat hurts, start with something light—it'll feel better.""…Thank you."Looking at the spoonful of porridge brought to his lips, Nick felt a surge of embarrassment. His Adam's apple bobbed awkwardly, but in the end, he leaned forward and took the spoon.The warm porridge slid down his throat, and Khloe's gentle expression flooded his vision, almost melting his heart like molten lava.When he finished the entire bowl, she finally relaxed, intending to leave so he could rest a little longer.But Nick suddenly grabbed her hand. "These past few days… have you missed me?"His voice was hoarse, rough with illness, yet it still sent shivers through her bones."Nick…" Khloe froze, shy under his gaze, but before she could say more, he added, "Being able to see the person you've been thinking about… it feels so good."Looking into Nick's increasingly intense eyes, her heart raced as if it would burst from her

Khloe thought for a long moment before finally replying to Trey's message.Khloe: [I have something to do. Don't let Grandma wait for me.]Trey was no stranger to her refusals. But the moment the message mentioned his grandmother, Khloe had responded—so he immediately sent a string of follow-up messages.Perhaps Grandma's visit would be the chance for them to break the ice.But Khloe only replied with that single message. No matter what Trey sent afterward, he received no response.The next day at noon, Lauren arrived at Trey's villa precisely on time.Trey had already instructed the staff to prepare everything meticulously, ready to receive her."Where's Khloe?"The moment she stepped inside, Lauren barely spared a glance at Trey, whom she hadn't seen in a year, before searching for Khloe."Grandma, as I told you, Khloe hasn't been home lately. She's been busy these past few days and won't have time for lunch. Don't worry about her for now—just rest. We'll talk slowly after

It was Angela calling.Seeing that Trey hadn't reached out, she could no longer sit still. She had already arranged for Pete to stay with her, yet Trey seemed to have completely forgotten both of them.Trey didn't want to pick up, but as soon as he rejected the call, the call came through again.Lauren's brows knitted in suspicion. "Who's calling so persistently?""Work… probably something from the company," Trey muttered reluctantly."Then take it. We're family—what could be inconvenient about that?" Lauren's tone softened, but she paused, as if recalling something. "By the way… where's Pete?"Though adopted, he was still her little great-grandson. Since Lauren had accepted Khloe, she no longer fussed over bloodlines."Oh… I thought you might be resting, so I had someone take him out to play."Lauren said nothing more and finally moved toward the dining room to eat.That evening, Stella and Alicia also arrived at Trey's house.Lauren had come on short notice, while Stella an

"When will this endless cycle finally end?" Angela sniffled softly, knowing that pushing back aggressively wouldn't work. She felt a pang of helplessness. Trey's mind was completely consumed by Khloe, and she had no intention of pushing him further toward her rival."Thank you for everything," Trey murmured, squeezing Angela's hand. His tone was tender, but beneath the surface, his heart had gone completely still—his thoughts were all on Khloe.Just moments ago, as he swiped his card at the hospital, he'd noticed an unexpected addition to his account: a luxury health checkup package. He hadn't purchased it himself. When he asked the hospital staff, he learned that Khloe had bought it for him a month ago.He remembered the time he'd gone several days without eating properly due to work, only to end up hospitalized with stomach cramps after drinking too much at a social event. Khloe had been beside herself with worry. Ever since then, she had insisted on attending all such events, d
