Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 1095

But perhaps, for the first time, Charlotte was truly looking at Ethan properly.

"Ethan," Charlotte said, though she couldn't quite bring herself to smile—yet still felt like she might, "you really are terrible at comforting people."

Ethan was stunned for a moment, then let out a soft laugh.

"Is that so?"

…

Meanwhile, on Trey's side, after picking Ariana up, the two of them remained silent the entire way home.

Ariana said nothing from beginning to end. Only when they returned did Trey take off his coat and notice her heading straight for her room. He quickly followed and wrapped his arms tightly around her waist.

"Ariana," he called her in a low voice.

She didn't move.

He released her, turned her around, and fixed his gaze on her eyes.

"You believe me, don't you?"

Ariana looked at him and nodded, though her expression was somewhat stiff.

"And you're not angry at me anymore?"

"What would I be angry about?"

Trey held his breath slightly. "That I came to find you so late?"

"You already knew I had contact with Ethan from the start, didn't you?" Ariana avoided the heat in his gaze. "Coming so late… you just wanted to expose him on the spot, didn't you?"

Trey's intentions were not hard for her to see through.

Trey had always been attentive to her movements. The moment she began interacting with Ethan, he likely already knew.

"Hm? Go ahead." Trey looked at her tenderly, his fingers brushing her cheek.

"Are you lying to me about your feelings?"

Trey smiled. "Ariana, I swear to you—I'm completely sincere about you."

Ariana met his eyes, trying to see through him. But there was no hesitation in his expression. Not a trace of doubt.

"And Khloe?" she finally couldn't hold back. "Trey, are you really only seeking revenge? Then why, even in your dreams, do you call her name?"

Trey's expression shifted for a brief moment.

"Because she's my nightmare from the past," he said quickly, pulling her even tighter into his arms.

"Ariana, I don't feel anything for her anymore. I only want to destroy her now—because she destroyed everything I had and ruined my family. With such a huge grudge between us, I can't just forget her. You understand, don't you?"
