Billionaire's Match의 모든 챕터: 챕터 841 - 챕터 850

Barney's face had gone pale as iron. Only when Khloe and Nick walked hand in hand toward the exit did he finally snap out of it. He strode forward, blocking their path."Nick, is this really necessary? Listing drugs at cost for a bid? Do you even know how much this will cost? How much profit you'll lose?"Nick merely lifted the corner of his lips in a faint, almost dismissive smile."Barney, mind your tone," he said evenly. "Yes, we'll lose profit—but as we've said, this isn't about the bid. This is the Hunt and Morrison Groups giving back to the people."Khloe immediately stepped forward, shielding her husband, her eyebrows raised playfully, her lips curling into a teasing smile.Barney realized he'd lost his composure, but he also knew one thing: with Nick's words, Solara Energy's chances of winning had essentially vanished. He couldn't understand them at all. Why, when the situation was already unfavorable for Solara Energy, would they continue to raise the stakes?Nick tighte

George let his arm drop with a huff.Nick's resistance stung him, though he knew he had brought this on himself. All these years, Nick had endured his temper without once retaliating. He had bottled up his own frustrations until they festered inside, yet the son had never lashed out. Now, with the distance and tension between them, he had no one to blame but himself."Today…"Just as George was about to turn and leave, Nick's voice rang out again.He paused, uncertain. Was Nick… seeking his opinion?"Today, the decision Khloe and I made was a spontaneous one," Nick said, his tone calm but resolute. "It may affect Hunt Group's long-term profits."George's brow lifted slightly."But Khloe and I share a common wish," Nick continued, still not looking directly at him. "We want those who have lost hope, those trapped at the edge of despair… not to give up easily."Khloe smiled softly, quietly affirming the sentiment. Indeed, the decision had been impulsive. Yet, neither of them fe

Khloe's hands slid around Nick's waist again, tracing every inch of him, even the smallest raised scars.Then Khloe picked up the bath sponge, squeezed a generous amount of shower gel, and carefully spread the dense foam across his back."It hasn't hurt for a long time," Nick said softly, as if sensing her worry.He glanced back and saw her eyes misted with steam, deep and concerned.Holding her hand, he drew her to his chest. The soapy hand gently pressed her chin. "Weren't you going to wash me? Why aren't you moving?""I… I just feel so bad. Even if you say it doesn't hurt, I still…" Khloe murmured, hugging him tightly."It's all in the past now." Nick's voice was low, his thumb brushing away a streak of white foam from her cheek. "But if you keep lingering like this… the water's going to get cold."He covered her hands over his, coaxing her like a child.Yet Khloe noticed another faint scar near his chest. Her fingers traced it instinctively."What's this one from?" she ask

"I don't know..." Khloe looked confused. "Maybe a mosquito bit me?"Nick chuckled softly, pressing his face close to hers and gently brushing his cheek against her smooth skin.It wasn't a scar—it was her back dimple.Khloe's whole body shivered at his touch, and on instinct she grabbed the towel to wrap herself up.Nick's hands circled her slender waist, finally resting on her slightly rounded lower belly."How's my baby been lately? Have you missed me?""...No."Khloe blinked, deliberately teasing him."How could you not?" Nick smiled, his voice dropping to a tender whisper."Because she thinks Daddy doesn't want her... hasn't come to see her for so long."Khloe's words made his tone even softer. He pulled her closer. "That's my fault. But she must have missed me anyway. From now on, every night I'll say goodnight to her. That way when she's born, she won't just pay attention to Mommy and forget about Daddy."Khloe's heart melted. The bathroom light spread softly behind Ni

To celebrate Nick's return home and to thank everyone for their efforts over the past days, Khloe had invited everyone for a casual dinner.Nick, still recovering, didn't join the meal. The housemaids cooked, while Khloe, Lenny, and Charlotte pitched in to help.Nick didn't want Khloe to overexert herself, especially since she was pregnant. But she couldn't sit still. In such a good mood, she had to show off a little.To avoid being constantly fussed over by Nick, Nick had asked Lucas to keep Nick company. But Lucas was notoriously talkative and boisterous. Even if Nick was alone, he didn't want Lucas hovering."Movie?" Nick suggested with a hint of helplessness, opening the projector.Lucas had been planning to ask Nick for investment advice—what projects he should focus on in Goldmont—but this sudden interruption left him momentarily dumbfounded."You're watching a movie?""What? I can't watch a movie?" Nick ignored his gaze, flipping through options, and casually selected a h
