Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 328

Chapter 328

After a pause, Nick leaned closer to Khloe and whispered, “I’m tired… let’s go back, alright?”

Michelle felt her chest tighten.

The same man who had spoken to her in a cold, cutting tone now spoke to Khloe with a warmth and attachment she had never seen before.

“Alright.”

Khloe nodded, giving him her full support, letting him lean against her. “Let’s go back.”

As soon as they left, Lenny quickly caught up to Michelle, almost as if afraid she might try to intervene.

“Miss Keller, please return. You’ve completed all your work for the project. Mr. Hunt is awake, and I’ve arranged a flight for you in two hours. You can leave immediately.”

The words hit Michelle like a bucket of ice water. She forced a bitter laugh. “This… is Nick’s order?”

Lenny’s voice was neutral. “He’s thought this through carefully. Staying here would only cause you trouble. His family also wishes for you to leave as soon as possible.’

When Nick was still unconscious, no one had paid attention to Michelle. She had a few finishing tasks left, so no one had intervened. But now that he was awake, her presence had become an obstacle.

Back in the hotel suite, the moment the door closed, Nick’s last reserves of strength drained. His body wobbled, nearly toppling onto Khloe.

“Ah-Nick!”

Khloe gasped, wrapping him in a tight embrace, worry lacing her voice with the slightest quiver.

“I’m fine… just a little weak,” Nick reassured her, though his tone betrayed the exhaustion he could not hide.

The state he had maintained outside was nothing compared to this. Khloe didn’t believe him. She guided him to the nearest sofa and was about to leave to call a doctor. “Rest for a bit. I’ll get help-”

“Khloe… don’t go,” he murmured, his voice strained. He grasped her hand. “I want to stay with you… just for a moment.”

“But-”

“Just a moment.”

Unable to resist the depth in his gaze, Khloe sank onto the sofa beside him. She wanted to examine his injuries. His back and waist had taken the worst damage, along with some internal trauma. The doctor had warned of nerve damage, and she had noticed his hesitant steps earlier.

But Nick knew her too well. Before she could scrutinize him, he pulled her into his arms. ↑

“I’ve missed you so much these past few days.”

“Me too,” she whispered.

His hoarse, gentle voice washed over her like a tide, leaving her trembling. She lowered her gaze and pressed her head to the side of his neck, her breath brushing against his ear. From the taut veins along his neck to the curve of his collarbone, every inch of him begged to be kissed.

Khloe didn’t resist. She kissed him, again and again, until she reached his throat. He groaned, his large hand cupping the back of her head.
