Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 113

Chapter 113

Just then, Lenny hurried over, a clear smile lighting up his face. He shot Nick a quick glance before turning to Khloe. “Miss Roswell, I wish you and Mr. Hunt a happy Valentine’s Day.”

Khloe, still unaware of the full situation, looked at Nick. He lowered his gaze, subtly signaling for her to check her phone.

She bent her head and unlocked the screen-and froze. The date had gone back to the previous day. The time, too, had shifted from just past midnight to around 11:30 p.m.!

It was a time zone difference.

Nick hadn’t simply brought her onto a helicopter to celebrate Valentine’s day in the air; he had used the regionale time difference to fly her back to the previous day. At this moment, they hadn’t missed Valentine’s at all.

“Oh, Nick…” Khloe covered her mouth in surprise, her eyes instantly glistening with tears.

For the first time… someone had gone to such lengths for a casual invitation she had made.

She glanced out the window. Far below, the city lights sprawled like a glittering river of stars. In that instant, her fractured heart seemed to bloom anew, like spring reviving the frozen earth.

“This is our first Valentine’s Day together. I don’t want to miss it. I hope that from now on, every year, we can celebrate it together.”

Nick’s voice was soft but firm. Khloe caught a glimpse of his profile in the window’s reflection and couldn’t hold back-tears streamed down her cheeks.

She quickly wiped them away. “Thank you… Nick.”

“What’s wrong? Was it something I said?” Nick noticed her unease, his voice tinged with helplessness. He had been late and broken his promise today; this was all he could think of to make it up to her.

“No… nothing.” Khloe shook her head immediately but refused to turn around. Crying in front of him suddenly felt embarrassing.

Seeing her like this, Nick’s concern deepened. He moved to sit beside her, his tall frame enveloping her slight form. Carefully, he reached out, hesitant to make contact. “I’m sorry… next time—”

“You… you haven’t done anything wrong. It’s me… I’m just… so happy.” Her voice trembled. She quickly wiped her tears, then turned to face him. Her cheeks were flushed with a soft, natural glow, delicate and beautiful.

“No one has ever gone to such lengths to celebrate anything with me. I barely even celebrated my birthdays growing up… I’m honestly overwhelmed. Nick, thank you so much for being so good to me.”

Nick furrowed his brow, gazing into her tear-filled eyes, a wave of indescribable protectiveness welling up in him.

His fingers brushed lightly along her cheek, tucking stray strands behind her ear. His throat moved slightly as the air between them thickened.

Khloe closed her eyes, her fingers clutching the side of his shirt. Her shallow breaths were soon wrapped in the warmth of his lips.

His kiss was gentle at first, brushing against her lips, then gradually deepening. Their noses touched, mingling breaths, slowly sinking into each other.

Her body softened. Only when she gripped his shirt tighter did he pause, pressing his forehead against hers.
