Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 178

Chapter 178

Michelle’s words hit Khloe like a thunderclap.

The woman whom Loretta had said Nick almost got engaged to… was Michelle?

The information was overwhelming, and it took Khloe a long moment to regain her composure. Though her heart stirred, she trusted what she had seen with her own eyes-Nick would never treat someone as a mere substitute.

“I don’t think Nick is that kind of person. Perhaps it’s exactly because you see him that way, Michelle, that it hurts him,” Khloe said coolly, her voice calm and composed, far beyond what Michelle had expected.

“You don’t want to know what happened between us? You’ve only known Nick a few days, and you already trust him so completely?”

“I’m curious, of course. But I don’t want to hear about your past with him. A past doesn’t define anything-just as Nick doesn’t care about mine, I only want to face who he is now.”

Khloe’s tone was soft, yet her words were honest and unwavering.

“Michelle, Nick and I are engaged. Frankly, I had no expectations for this marriage-it’s purely a business alliance. I didn’t care about Nick’s feelings…’

At that moment, Nick quietly arrived behind her. He had heard that Michelle had gone to Morrison Group and came early, only to run into the two women before finding Khloe.

“Purely a business alliance…” Michelle’s eyes flickered in surprise when she noticed Nick, but she quickly masked it. She didn’t interrupt Khloe, hoping the man would hear Khloe’s cold, indifferent tone.

Sure enough, Nick’s eyes darkened briefly at her words. But a business alliance… did it mean Khloe didn’t care about his feelings?

“But that’s different now.”

Suddenly, Khloe’s voice dropped, still soft but resolute. “Nick and I are getting to know each other. To me, he’s excellent, kind, and a man I can entrust my life to. If I can spend the rest of my life with him, it would be my honor. And I keep my promises-unless my fiancé lets go first, I will never break our engagement unilaterally.”

Her words shone like a warm yet unwavering light, instantly dispelling the shadow in Nick’s eyes. His clenched jaw relaxed imperceptibly, and the depths of his gaze seemed to ignite with a spark.

He didn’t speak immediately, merely standing there, eyes fixed intently on Khloe’s slender, upright figure, as if committing every inch of her posture to memory.

‘Excellent… kind… someone I can entrust my life to.’

No one had ever described him this way before.

Even Michelle noticed the change in Nick’s expression and grew flustered. “Khloe, you’ve only known him a few days. What do you really understand?”

Before Khloe could respond, a heat suddenly enveloped her.

“Nick?”

She hadn’t expected him to appear behind her and couldn’t help feeling flustered.

“I heard everything, and I’m honored.”

His voice was low and husky as his arms encircled her waist, gently drawing her into his embrace. He completely ignored Michelle and started to lead Khloe away.

Her cheeks flushed, and she shyly lowered her head to walk beside him.
