Chapter 235
Trey hadn’t yet recovered from his shock when the phone line was filled with that seductive, intoxicating sound again…
He immediately lost his composure. “Khloe? What are you saying? You’re my wife! Who else could you possibly marry?”
His voice thundered through the line, but all he received in response were heavier, more desperate breaths. Khloe, drenched in Nick’s tender, insistent attention, had no room to even hear Trey. Every inhale felt like a struggle.
Suddenly, she felt the subtle reaction of the man holding her…
“Khloe! What the hell are you doing? Do you really have to go this far just to make me angry?”
Trey struggled to keep his tone steady, lowering his voice slightly. He still wanted to reason with her. After all, the more she acted out, the more it proved she cared about him.
“She’s not trying to anger you. She’s being intimate with me,” Nick finally growled, heavy breaths escaping him. “If you dare disturb my wife again, I’ll make sure you regret it-miserably.”
And with that, he hung up, tossing the phone aside.
Khloe was flushed red, caught between embarrassment and exhilaration. As Nick’s arms retracted slightly, her body melted against him. Yet, just as his hand brushed toward a place it shouldn’t, he abruptly stopped, restraining himself mid-motion.
She clutched his neck instinctively. “Are you angry?”
“Mm. I’m jealous.”
Khloe blinked, surprised at his blunt admission. He lifted her gently from the edge of the cabinet, his palm brushing lightly across her cheek. The gesture was soft, but the intensity in his eyes carried an unmistakable chill.
“Nick, I don’t look back. Since the day I learned the truth, there’s no room in my heart for him. I’ve already blocked him. If you’re worried…”
“I’m not doubting you…” Seeing her so earnest for him, Nick’s expression softened for the first time. “But Khloe … I’m fiercely possessive. The more I love someone, the more irrational I can become…”
“Stop saying these embarrassing things,” she murmured, shaking her head. Nick always wore the most restrained expression while speaking the hottest words. Sometimes, it was too much for her to bear.
“I mean it. I’m afraid I’ll lose control. I don’t want you to grow weary of me someday.”
His voice dropped, and for a fleeting moment, the commanding aura that usually surrounded him seemed to fade. Khloe’s heart skipped; she had glimpsed a rare vulnerability. Even his own possessiveness scared him… lest it hurt her.
“I won’t,” she said without hesitation.

“Really?” His brows knit slightly. A faint smile curved his lips, but his eyes betrayed a subtle, indecipherable melancholy.
“Of course. As long as you don’t lie to me or hurt me, I will never tire of you… I-”
Her voice faltered, heat creeping up her ears as she softened it. “I like you, too.”
“…Khloe.”
