Chapter 211

Nick’s dark eyes locked onto George, the sheer intensity in them far surpassing anything the elder could have anticipated.

“What did you say?” George froze, anger quickly flashing across his face.

Although Nick had never been particularly close to him growing up, he had always shown respect to his elders. Even during major disagreements, he would never openly contradict him in front of others-especially not in front of a mere daughter-in-law.

“Nick, don’t…” Khloe’s voice trembled slightly. She didn’t want him clashing with his father, but seeing the furrow between his brows, she felt a pang in her chest.

“I’ll handle my own matters. You needn’t worry. It’s late; Khloe and I will leave first.”

With that, Nick didn’t spare another glance at George. He took Khloe’s hand and walked out.

“Nick!”

George’s sharp shout went unanswered. Nick continued without pause, holding Khloe securely against him. She wanted to look back but found herself pressed firmly against his chest.

Loretta quickly gestured to Arista, who gently guided George’s arm.

“Oh, George, it’s just the children’s business. You’ve said your piece-no need to be so stubborn.”

“This is outrageous! You think marrying gives him wings to do as he pleases? I swear, Khloe is nothing but a disaster!”

George’s anger toward Nick boiled over, spilling onto Khloe. He yanked free from Arista’s arm and stomped back toward the study, leaving the young couple behind.

As Nick led her out of the Hunt family villa, Khloe couldn’t help but worry. “Nick, your father cares about you too. Isn’t it rude for us to just leave like this?”

“He doesn’t care about me. He doesn’t care about my feelings-only about what he’s convinced himself is right. Don’t mind his opinion. In this family, you just need to get along with Grandpa and Grandma.”

His voice was calm, but Khloe could hear the faint trace of loneliness beneath it. She gently patted his shoulder in response.

On the way home, Khloe called Loretta to apologize on behalf of both herself and Nick.

Loretta reassured her, saying George simply had a blunt temperament and often spoke harshly first; he didn’t truly hold any grudges.

Once home, Nick seemed to finally let down the tension he had carried all evening.

He had barely eaten at the banquet; seeing Clarice harass Khloe had left him with no appetite. Now, though it was late, he was hungry.

Before he could speak, Khloe, like a mischievous little spirit attuned to him, had already changed into comfortable clothes and gone to the kitchen.

“Hungry, right? I’ll make you some noodles. Don’t underestimate this-it’s just a bowl of noodles, but mine are really good. Better than anything at the Morrison family banquet.”

Her playful teasing lightened the tense air.

Nick stepped up behind her, his strong arms sliding around her waist.

He didn’t speak; the heat of his breath made her shiver slightly.

“Don’t tease me. Go shower first; it’ll be ready soon.”

“Khloe… you’ll stay with me forever, right? You won’t leave me again?”

Khloe stiffened slightly, surprised by his sudden question.

“What kind of question is that? We’re married. If I don’t stay with you forever… what choice would I have?”
