"To a beautiful little handmade shop!" Khloe replied with a sweet smile.Hand in hand, they rode the elevator—Khloe slightly taller, Nick just beneath her—but their heights complemented each other perfectly, naturally drawing the attention of onlookers along the way.Nick felt awkward under the gaze of strangers and instinctively lowered his head. Normally, he traveled via private entrances and elevators, letting his assistants handle any shopping—he never personally visited a place like this.Noticing his discomfort, Khloe whispered teasingly, "Do you want to hide your handsome face in my arms? I can shield you from all these eyes."Her playful remark made him smirk. "I'm not that vain," he murmured.At the top floor, a handcrafted cake shop stretched across nearly a third of the level. Khloe had pre-booked a private room, and the owner personally led them there, helping them pick the type of cake they wanted to make.Nick raised an eyebrow, a bit surprised. "You're making a cak

This was Khloe's birthday gift for Nick, and at the checkout, she insisted on using her own card.But no sooner had they finished packing her clothes than Nick led her next door to a luxury jewelry store, where he selected a pair of matching wedding rings and a set of bracelets.The rings and bracelets were simple and elegant—clean, precise lines with no excessive embellishments. Yet the premium materials and flawless craftsmanship gave them a quiet, understated brilliance that drew the eye.Khloe couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time. "Today was supposed to be my gift to you.""You give yours, I give mine. This is our newlywed gift," Nick said, a slight curl at the corner of his lips. He personally slipped the rings and bracelets onto her fingers and wrist, then gestured for her to help him put his on.On Nick's wrist was a watch worth nearly a million dollars. Khloe smiled, eyes twinkling. "This is a matching set. Aren't you afraid people will make fun of you at work?

Loretta's words were warm, exuberant, and wonderfully direct.Khloe felt her cheeks heat up and her heart skip a beat. She quickly stole a glance at Nick, who was focused on the road ahead, yet a faint smile tugged at the corners of his lips.Without a word, he reached over and took the phone from her. His tone, rare in its softness, was like flowing water. "Grandma, don't scare her—we're on our way home.""Good, good! Be careful on the road, stay safe," came the reply, brisk but affectionate.Nick handed the phone back to Khloe. She asked instinctively, her voice tinged with hesitation, "Tonight… we're staying at your place?""Our home," Nick said simply.The words struck Khloe with a jolt. Of course—Nick's home was now her home too."Grandma was just teasing. If you don't want to stay tonight, I'll take you back," he added."I'm good," Khloe replied softly, her heart fluttering.As night deepened, they returned to the villa, where several people were already waiting for them

"Don't be shy, silly girl!" Loretta exclaimed, noticing the tiny expression flicker across Khloe's face. Suddenly, it all made sense. She'd long forgotten the giddy, fluttering excitement of young love and had almost overlooked Khloe's pure-hearted nature.But this was perfect!Despite his age and commanding presence in the outside world, Nick was just as innocent at heart.Loretta leaned close to Khloe's ear. "Then tonight, let him sleep on the sofa.""Absolutely not!" Khloe immediately protested. "He won't rest well there."Loretta laughed uncontrollably. "Ah, so this is what it's like to be married—already worrying about your husband?""Grandma, I'm not—" Khloe floundered, completely flustered, and could only tug on Loretta's arm in a playful, helpless gesture."Hush now, you two can handle your own affairs. I just want you to feel comfortable at home," Loretta said, patting Khloe's hand. "Nick treasures you, don't worry. He'll come to understand you more each day."With a

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 she would massage and soak Lauren's feet before bedtime, light soothing incense to aid sleep, and ensure the elder woke refreshed and in a good mood.As for tea, Khloe had carefully timed everything, setting alarms to make sure it was brewed just right according to Lauren's schedule.Just these small gestures alone were enough to pamper anyone. It was no wonder Lauren liked staying at Khloe's place.Mentioning Khloe left Lauren uneasy in her heart. When Stella brought over the tea again, she hesitated before asking, "Has Khloe been in contact with Trey these past two days?""How would I know? Didn't she say she wanted a divorce? Maybe she's waiting for Trey to beg her."Stella delibera
