Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 1134

Inside the thermos flask a pot of ginseng chicken soup she had gotten up before dawn to make herself.

"Have you eaten? I brought… soup the housekeeper made. It should taste pretty good."

"Thank you. I'm not hungry."

Nick answered softly.

Khloe had only just begun to unscrew the thermos when she paused awkwardly halfway through.

The air seemed to freeze.

For a long while, neither of them spoke again.

It was as if Nick had nothing left to say to her.

No reproach. No questions. Nothing at all.

Khloe pressed her lips into a faint smile.

This was exactly Nick's way—clean, decisive. Once he decided to end something, there was no hesitation, not even a trace.

"Then… I'll be going. Take care of yourself."

She looked at him one last time.

"Mm. You too. Take care of the baby. Your health comes first—don't overwork yourself."

His voice was gentle.

But this time, he didn't look at her. He only idly rubbed his fingers together.

Khloe noticed—the wedding ring on his ring finger was gone.

A surge of emotion crashed over her. Her eyes reddened instantly, and she turned away at once.

The moment she opened the door, Lenny and the Hunt family were all there.

Her flushed eyes didn't escape anyone's notice.

Loretta and Arista, in particular, watched her closely.

But Khloe was afraid she wouldn't be able to hold herself together any longer. She gave a hurried nod in greeting, then quickly walked away.

"Good. That's my grandson. Life is just like this—you taste the good and the bad. What's there to make a fuss about?"

"Grandma's right."

Nick truly seemed to have shaken off his gloom, and the tension in the Hunt family finally eased a little.

Moreover, his condition appeared better today. With the doctor's treatment from the night before, he even managed to eat more than usual.

The doctor also said his condition was temporarily under control. After a few more days of observation, he could return home to recuperate.

By the afternoon, the Hunt family headed back first.

Only then did Nick call Lenny over again to go over some company matters.

Recently, a number of Hunt Group projects had been interfered with by Olympus. Luckily, Olympus had backed out of them later on, so the company hadn't taken any real hits.

But even so, Nick had no intention of letting it go.

Since Olympus dared to snatch their projects, there was no way they were getting off scot-free.

Did they really think the Hunt Group had earned its ironclad reputation across the domestic business world just by luck?
