Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 246

Chapter 246

Nick didn’t respond to Khloe’s words immediately. His gaze was so deep it almost made her uneasy, as if he were lost in thought. She could sense that something weighed on him.

“Why are you staring at me like that?” she asked softly.

“Trey is downstairs.”

His lips moved slightly as he gently brushed her hair back before speaking. His voice carried little overt emotion, yet it sank heavily into Khloe’s heart.

“You… saw everything?” Her eyes flickered with a hint of panic.

She straightened immediately, speaking earnestly. “Don’t misunderstand. It was just a coincidence that I ran into him today. And I made everything clear between us!”

She had confronted Trey because of Nick. In recent days, she’d realized the most important thing wasn’t the past-it was the present. If Nick was unhappy, she could even let go of all past grievances and sever any ties with the Fox family.

“I didn’t misunderstand,” Nick said, his voice low, and his gaze darkened with a barely restrained chill. “I just… seeing another man entangled with you… it makes me uncomfortable.”

He trusted her completely and didn’t feel threatened by Trey. But a subtle, possessive jealousy lingered no matter how he tried to dismiss it.

Nick drew her close again, his broad frame radiating a chill that seemed to come from the night itself. He was imposing and strong, yet there was a fragility to him that made Khloe’s heart ache. She hugged him back tightly, like stroking a lion’s mane, unwilling to let go.

Khloe thought for a moment, then spoke softly, “I’m sorry. I won’t let you see things like that again… What can I do to make you feel better? Tell me, and I’ll try to do everything you want.”

“I got my men to beat him up. He’ll probably spend the night in the hospital.” Nick’s voice was low, calm, but it sounded a little like he was testing the waters to see her reaction.

Khloe raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised, then nodded. “Good. Thank you for taking care of that for me.”

“I’ve also strengthened security in the complex.”

“Mm.”

“This place isn’t good enough. Let’s move.”

“Mm?”

“We should also pick a new house for our marriage. I’ve had Lenny start preparing the documents. In the end, your opinion will decide everything.”

With that, Nick’s intent was clear. He released her, and the shadow that had lingered in his eyes was gone, replaced by a light, teasing warmth.

“So you were waiting here for me?” Khloe smiled. “If we move, you won’t be upset anymore?”

“Yes.” Nick nodded solemnly, his voice gentle. “I don’t want anyone disturbing us.”

“Good.”

Khloe tilted her head, her eyes tracing the strong, angular lines of his face. It was a face usually sharp and commanding, yet in this moment, even his features seemed softened.

Later, Khloe excitedly showed Nick the jewelry she had bought at the auction-one piece for Loretta, another for Arista. She had chosen each according to her own taste. She wasn’t sure whether they would like them.

Nick, however, hardly glanced at the pieces, his gaze fixed on her instead.

“Since you picked it, I’m sure they’ll love it,” he said.

Khloe looked up, meeting his intense gaze. She pressed her lips together and teased lightly, “Are there any CEOs in Goldmont City better at flattery than you?”

“I don’t know,” he murmured, leaning closer to brush a strand of hair from her face. “But there’s no one who

loves you more than I do.”

Khloe’s face flushed scarlet, and her breath caught.
