Billionaire's Match のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 871 - チャプター 880

Khloe led Nick over to examine the gifts. Barney had gone all out—this was no idle gesture.Before they could fully process it, Khloe received a message from him.It was brief.[Congratulations on your new home. Wishing you a lifetime of happiness. —Barney]Nick's gaze fell on her as she read it."He seems genuinely sincere," he said, his tone calm, though Khloe caught a hint of jealousy beneath it."I don't know what he's plotting," Khloe replied, looping her arm through Nick's, lifting her chin proudly, "but as long as he's trying to get at me, it won't work."To her, Barney had no chance—whether for business or romance.Yet, as far as romance went, his behavior was puzzling. Barney obviously liked Angela, didn't he? Khloe had warned him before that Angela wasn't exactly a good person. But even so, would he shift his affections so quickly?"It may be useless, but if he's coveting you…"Nick's hand slid around her waist, drawing her closer. He lowered his voice to a low grow

After Nick, finding a man who could catch Michelle's attention again was no small feat.Yet, the man standing before them made both of Michelle's parents' eyes light up.In terms of looks and physique, Ralph was stunning: sharp, well-defined features, tall and muscular, the kind of man who seemed effortlessly elegant.When it came to wealth and capability, he was on par with Nick.On top of that, he was friends with Khloe and Nick, which suggested a solid character.By chance, Michelle and Ralph had started chatting. Michelle's friends happened to attend the same university as Ralph, and soon they were laughing and talking as if old friends.Mrs. Keller watched the two of them and felt her hopes rising—there was potential here.She quietly tugged on her husband's sleeve. Mr. Keller caught on and discreetly called Khloe aside."Is Ralph single?""I'm not sure, we'll have to ask him…"Hearing Mr. Keller inquire about Ralph's personal life, Khloe immediately understood their int

"Hmph."Nick waited a long moment before Khloe finally spoke.She tugged at the blanket, trying to put some distance between them, but Nick's reflexes were too fast. In an instant, he pulled her back into his arms, cradling her close.He leaned over her, his gaze warm yet teasing as it hovered above her head. "What did I do? I must be really dense. Tell me, and I'll fix it right away.""I'm jealous."Khloe's hands pushed lightly against his chest, but without much force.The faint motion sent a jolt through him, his heart racing, his body suddenly ablaze. "Jealous? You're jealous because of me?""Mm."Nick froze for a moment, then immediately realized what had gone wrong. The tension in his expression melted, and the corner of his mouth curved into an almost imperceptible smile."Sorry… I was wrong.""That's a quick apology. So, tell me, what exactly did you do wrong?"Her voice carried a hint of displeasure, but her body leaned even closer into his embrace."I was wrong in

At that moment, Khloe was heading downstairs. The housekeeper was already busy in the dining area. She planned to spend a little time in the gym, doing some gentle exercise, and then have breakfast with Nick. The doctor had reminded her that a pregnant woman should maintain some daily activity, gradually forming a healthy routine."Just a small token of my sincerity… though I feel it's still not enough," Barney said when he noticed her tone soften slightly. "I'll be leaving Goldmont City tomorrow. Would it be convenient to meet today?""Barney, why don't you just be straightforward? What exactly do you want from me?" Khloe asked without hesitation.Her blunt question silenced him."Rest assured, I have no ill intentions. I just… simply want to see you, talk with you.""I'm a married woman." Khloe's tone carried a hint of amusement.Earlier, she had brushed off Nick's jealousy as him overreacting. Now, talking to Barney, she couldn't help but wonder if he actually had designs on h

Winnie had a sharp eye; the gowns she picked suited Khloe perfectly. To show her gratitude, Khloe treated Winnie to dinner.Nick, not wanting to intrude, had arranged for a driver to take them to the restaurant.During the meal, Khloe noticed Winnie's phone occasionally buzzing with messages. Still, Winnie was fully engaged in conversation and didn't glance at it.Suddenly, Winnie's phone rang. She picked it up, briefly glanced at the screen, and then looked at Khloe with a hesitant expression."It's Michael, right? You should answer.""Alright."With Khloe's permission, Winnie accepted the call."I'm having dinner with Khloe… hmm… I'll call you back in a bit," she said softly."Okay."A faint blush crept across Winnie's cheeks. After hanging up, she peeked at the messages on her phone and a small, shy smile tugged at her lips.Khloe stirred the dessert on her plate with her spoon, teasing, "This is the first time I've seen—""The first time you've seen what?" Winnie looked
