Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 292

Chapter 292

It seemed Ethan’s judgment of Charlotte had been entirely off.

He turned his gaze slightly, trying to study her expression. Charlotte lowered her head and nodded, calm and composed in a way that was rare for her.

“So… how long do you want? Could it be… you want to be my wife?” Ethan’s voice drifted through the dim room after a pause.

His fingers traced down her arm with a casual, almost teasingly seductive touch.

“I’m just an ordinary person. I can’t play your games, Ethan,” Charlotte said, fighting the surge of revulsion in her chest. “I’m afraid I’d end up like… your former lover… shattered to pieces.”

“I’m talking to you. Don’t bring others into this,” Ethan said, his tone cold, the earlier looseness around him vanishing at her words.

He studied her for a long time-long enough that Charlotte thought he might have seen through her act. But in the end, he simply let go of her hand, leaned back in his chair, and finished his tea in one long swallow.

“Let’s go,” he said, standing with a slight stagger. “Walk me back.”

Watching his unsteady figure move away, Charlotte finally picked up her phone and ended the recording. Not a single useful piece of information had been captured-Ethan’s defenses were just too strong.

But she was patient. One day, she would make him fall, lose everything he wanted… and at that moment, every misdeed he had committed would be repaid with regret and despair.

Two days later.

Southwest border of Felanche, mountainous region, evening.

Nick had been busy all day. He’d only managed a brief call with Khloe at noon. The drive from the mountains back to the hotel took over an hour, and worried it might get too late, he had found a quiet corner to make a quick video check-in with her.

They had planned three video calls that day, but in recent days, fragmented calls and messages had been constant. Nick contacted her whenever he had a spare moment. Even Lenny noticed: whenever Nick reached for his phone, it was always Khloe on his mind.

It was hard to tell. The workaholic, who usually had eyes only for business, had turned into a hopeless romantic the moment he got married.

Today, Nick was in a good mood. For once, Khloe could see a genuine smile on his face.

All the business matters were nearly wrapped up. Tomorrow morning, after attending the final ribbon-cutting ceremony, he would finish his assignment and be ready to return.

Hearing this, Khloe brightened immediately and urged him to tell her the return schedule-she wanted to go pick him up.

But the exact return time was still uncertain. There would be a promotional shoot in the morning. If it went smoothly, he could return by the afternoon; if not, it could be much later.

Nick didn’t want to keep Khloe waiting. Yet, in the video, her resolve was clear.

“No matter how late it is, I want to see you as soon as possible,” she said firmly.

Softness flickered in Nick’s eyes. Before he could reply, Lenny came up beside him, seemingly needing something.

Khloe, ever thoughtful, said, “It’s dark, and the mountain roads are dangerous. You should head back to the hotel first.”

“Alright,” Nick paused, hesitating for a moment before calling her name once more.

“Hmm?” Khloe looked puzzled.

“Nothing,” he said after a brief pause, his voice deepening. “Rest early tonight. I’ll contact you again tomorrow.

“Okay.”

After hanging up, Nick cast a slightly annoyed glance at Lenny. In the distance, Michelle’s team was already arranging the set. Night shooting awaited, and if it ran too late, it would be difficult to film. Lenny’s reminder
