Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 205

Chapter 205

It also left no room for retreat in the marriage between Nick and Khloe.

Loretta had already made her decision and publicly acknowledged Khloe as her granddaughter-in-law. With that, Khloe had the entire Hunt family standing behind her.

Even if Khloe truly had a marriage in her past, who would dare question it now?

“I see.”

Clarice’s expression remained composed, but her chest rose and fell sharply, her breathing visibly unsteady.

As soon as Loretta finished speaking, Leon nodded repeatedly, smiling broadly. His cheerful demeanor spoke volumes about the Hunt family’s attitude toward Khloe-unlimited tolerance and affection.

Seeing this, Arista finally relaxed. “It’s our fault for not communicating with our in-laws in advance. That’s what caused this awkward situation. Clarice, you wouldn’t blame us, would you?”

“…Of course not.” Clarice’s voice was gentle, but the stiffness in her expression was hard to conceal.

Watching Loretta, Leon, and Arista all speak up for her, Khloe suddenly felt the urge to cry. At no point in her life had she ever expected someone to stand behind her, offering unconditional support.

When a person expects nothing, anything is bearable. But once expectations are born, so is vulnerability.

She looked at Loretta, unsure how to properly express her gratitude.

But Loretta simply shifted her gaze toward Nick.

Nick understood his grandmother’s meaning instantly. Holding Khloe’s hand, he dropped to one knee.

Even kneeling, his tall frame remained straight and imposing, like a pine standing firm.

Brilliant lights fell across his shoulders, dazzling and impossible to ignore.

“Khloe, with all these guests here as witnesses, I promise that for the rest of my life, you will be the only woman by my side. Marry me. From this moment on, let me love you, protect you, and walk with you until the end of my life, Will you?”

Nick meant every word. He truly gave Khloe a public proposal on the spot.

He hadn’t prepared anything elaborate, yet every sentence carried immense weight, solemn enough to leave everyone stunned.

This man was the head of a top-tier financial empire-this was Nick Hunt. And he was kneeling in public to propose to a woman.

Even for Khloe, the Morrison family’s heiress, this was more than enough honor.

Her emotions were already in turmoil, tears shimmering in her eyes, threatening to spill over.

Nick’s brows drew together slightly, his expression serious. Those deep, unfathomable eyes-vast as a sea of stars-were now focused entirely on her face.

Under his gaze, the ice in her heart melted away, like snow thawing after a long winter, warm beyond measure.

“Of course I’m willing, Nick.”

She smiled, and at last the tears grew too heavy to hold, sliding down her cheeks.

Her voice was soft, like a feather drifting down. A faint flush crossed Nick’s face as he rose, instinctively pulling Khloe back into his arms.

The moment they embraced, the entire hall burst into spontaneous applause. Some people even called out loudly in praise.

Several sentimental society ladies pulled out tissues, lowering their heads to wipe away tears.

Their own marriages and romances had all been grand and proper, but genuine joy-true excitement over marriage was something they had rarely experienced.

Nick and Khloe were a couple so well-matched that it made others envious.

Amid thunderous applause and congratulations, Nick led Khloe back to their seats.

The earlier awkwardness dissolved without a trace. No one focused on Khloe’s past anymore; all attention had shifted to the moving proposal.

In everyone’s eyes, for Khloe to earn the Hunt family’s approval and Nick’s devotion, she herself must be exceptional.
