Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 1105

When Khloe left just now, Nick had felt an unexpected sense of relief. Relief that she… hadn't turned back.

Because if she had seen him in this state—his body unable to hold on even for this little while—she would probably have despised him even more.

After a moment, Nick steadied himself and spoke calmly. "I'm fine. What happened today is not to be leaked. Lock down the news across the entire city."

"Yes…" Lenny hesitated. "But Madam didn't seem like she was—"

Before, they had thought there might be some misunderstanding. But after what had just happened, anyone could see Khloe wasn't joking.

"She's pregnant. It's only natural that her emotions are a bit impulsive."

Nick cut him off, coughing lightly. "Have someone pick out some gifts for the Morrison Group's employees—make them expensive. Consider it compensation for today."

"Sir…"

Lenny couldn't help feeling aggrieved.

Even if Madam had her reasons, Nick was still a patient.

They had forced their way into Morrison Group out of necessity—yet now they were the ones expected to smooth things over…

Nick could see straight through Lenny. He cast him a cold glance, silencing him before he could speak.

"Go handle it."

"…Yes, sir."

Lenny had no choice but to comply.

Nick felt terrible, but he still confirmed with the doctor that Khloe's prenatal checkup results were all normal before agreeing to go back and rest.

On the way back, he stayed on the phone with the company, listening to reports without pause.

Lenny wanted to stop him from overexerting himself, but he knew that at a time like this, only Khloe's words would matter.

After all, the reason Nick was pushing himself to work despite his condition… was for Khloe.

…

"What possible reason could there be? Aren't they deeply in love? Could it be Trey—"

Ethan almost let something slip, his words cutting off abruptly.

Khloe had warned him not to say anything.

"Do you know something?" Charlotte looked at him sharply.

Ethan's expression turned uneasy. "I do. But Khloe told me not to tell anyone."

"Then don't tell me." Charlotte sighed, losing the urge to press further.

Ethan found it odd. "That's not like you. Whenever something happened to Khloe before, you'd dig until you got to the bottom of it."

"I've realized… there's nothing I can really do to help. Some things have to be faced and resolved by the people involved. If I could help, Khloe would definitely tell me. The only thing I can do now… is quietly wish her well."

As Charlotte spoke, a faint smile curved her lips. But the smile carried a deep trace of loneliness.

Ethan's gaze darkened as well. He understood what Charlotte was thinking.
