Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 110

Chapter 110

Nick let out a low hum. He had just finished a meeting and had left a few minutes later than planned. He had intended to take the highway and make up time, but a few rear-end collisions caused a traffic jam, and his car had been caught in the mess.

His injuries were minor-mostly superficial-but the accident scene was severe, with the roads blocked along the way, which delayed him considerably.

Not wanting to worry Khloe, he had kept the details off the phone, only briefly tending to his wounds before rushing to their appointment.

“How could you not tell me that something this serious happened! Your safety matters more than any date!” Khloe’s chest tightened as if someone had gripped her heart. Seeing him like this, her nerves frayed.

A wave of panic surged through her, and on impulse, she threw her arms around Nick.

“Khloe…” Nick’s heart skipped a beat, and his eyes flickered with surprise.

Her body was warm, instantly thawing him from the chill of the night air. He lifted a hand, hesitated, then gently rested it on her slender back, letting his palm sweep through her silk-soft hair.

The subtle scent of her woody perfume was calming and comforting, and for a fleeting moment, he felt completely at ease.

After a moment, Khloe calmed enough to reluctantly release him. “I’m sorry… I overreacted. I was terrified seeing you hurt. I feel so guilty knowing you’d gotten into an accident just coming here for our date.”

Her eyes glimmered faintly with unshed tears, genuine worry shining through.

Before Nick could respond, she examined him from head to toe. “Are you hurt anywhere else? I should take the hospital right now…”

“I’m fine. Just superficial wounds. Besides, I failed to keep my promise for dinner.”

His voice was deep and measured, his brow furrowed in lingering guilt, his gaze dark and intense like thick ink.

Hearing him speak, Khloe felt a sudden warmth in her chest, as if her heart had been gently stirred.

Nick was always dependable. Perhaps keeping promises was just another rule he lived by-but she hadn’t been made to feel this valued in a long time.

Lowering her head, Khloe whispered, “Dinner isn’t that important. It’s fine…”

“What I promised you is important,” he interrupted. “Besides, it’s Valentine’s day. We’re supposed to celebrate together.”

Nick cut her off again, noticing the faint melancholy in her expression. He didn’t know how to comfort her, so his voice took on a serious and earnest tone.

Khloe’s heart stirred once more, and her eyelashes fluttered. Words like this coming from Nick sounded almost out of place, as if their date were a matter of high-priority work for him.

“Valentine’s day is already over, Nick,” she murmured, a faint curve of a smile on her lips.

“Not yet,” he replied clearly, then took her hand. “Let’s go.”

“…Go where, this late?”
