Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 210

Chapter 210

Khloe wasn’t trying to hide anything. She had simply thought that this was nothing more than a marriage of convenience-no one would be interested in hearing about those unspeakable, undignified details of her past.

But now it was different.

She regarded Loretta and the others as family. And there was Nick…

She cherished him and cared deeply about his feelings. She didn’t want even the slightest shadow of doubt to exist between them.

In truth, Nick didn’t want Khloe to talk about these things. George was rigid and severe, not necessarily as tolerant as the rest of the family. More importantly, Nick knew… those memories were scars she carried.

He had already learned most of it from Lenny. Yet, even knowing she had loved the wrong person and been hurt, hearing it spoken aloud by others still left his heart aching-not because he minded her past, but because he couldn’t help feeling an indescribable tenderness for her.

Even so, despite Nick’s reluctance, Khloe still chose to tear open her wounds herself, recounting her past in full, detail by detail.

Nick stood quietly beside her, listening to her voice, never once letting go of her hand.

Khloe’s expression was calm, as though she were talking about someone else’s life entirely.

Loretta and Arista, however, listened with hearts clenched tight. They could never have imagined that Khloe had endured such painful experiences.

Even the good-tempered Leon couldn’t hold back and cursed under his breath, “Trey’s a monster. Khloe, you’ve suffered so much all these years. But from now on, with Nick by your side, no one will dare bully you again.”

Arista looked stricken, unsure how to comfort Khloe. A young lady born into privilege, yet she had grown up alone and helpless-and on top of that, had encountered such a terrible man.

Now, even the Morrison family didn’t seem particularly friendly toward her.

Loretta’s expression grew solemn as she asked directly, “Is the Fox family still causing you trouble? If so, let Nick find a way to stand up for you.”

“Soft-hearted nonsense.” At last, George-who had remained silent for a long time-spoke.

After hearing Khloe explain things clearly about Trey, his expression was no longer as dark as it had been at the Morrison family’s banquet. Still, he couldn’t say he felt at ease.

Even if Khloe was the victim and hadn’t intentionally hidden her “marital history,” she had still been entangled with another man for six years. To marry Nick so hastily-who could say it wouldn’t lead to problems later?

Besides, the Hunt family had no obligation to help a woman seek revenge on someone else.

“George, don’t be like this. Khloe was forced into it. If I’d suffered such a heavy blow, I wouldn’t have wanted to talk about it everywhere either.”

Arista was usually extremely accommodating of George’s temperament, always going along with whatever he

said. But today, she openly shielded Khloe. She had no children of her own; to her, Nick and Khloe were like her own son and daughter.

“That’s not what I mean.”

George lifted his gaze to Khloe, his voice sharp and cold. “Khloe, since you and Nick are married sincerely, then your past must be cut off cleanly. Our family will not pay the price for your history. Do you understand?”

The implication was clear: the Hunt family would not involve itself in her matters with the Fox family.

If Khloe truly cared about Nick, she shouldn’t think of using him or leveraging his power for her own affairs.

“She’s your daughter-in-law!” Loretta immediately protested.

Leon added, “George, why say such discouraging things? You’ll ruin the children’s mood.”

“Thank you, Arista. Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma… but you don’t need to worry about me. I’ll handle my own matters. They’re not worth dirtying Nick’s hands.”

Khloe understood George’s mindset perfectly.
