Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 353

Chapter 353

“How are you feeling today? Any pain anywhere? Does it still hurt?”

Khloe’s breath softened, as if her voice itself might wound him.

“No pain… I’m fine,” Nick cleared his throat, his voice still slightly hoarse. “When do you finish? Can I come pick you up?”

“Don’t move. Just lie down and rest, do you hear me? I’ll wrap up quickly and go back myself.”

Khloe hurriedly stopped him-she couldn’t bear the thought of him getting up.

Through the phone, she heard him laugh again. It seemed he had only asked to see her flustered. He quickly reassured her, “Okay, I’ll wait for you to come back.”

At that moment, Khloe heard footsteps near Nick. She was about to ask if he was home when Oscar pushed the door open.

Seeing everyone had arrived, Khloe ended the call in a rush. Presumably, Lenny or the doctor hadn’t left yet. Nick had promised to stay at home and not wander off. She trusted him.

This dinner was mainly Oscar’s chance to be candid with Khloe.

Khloe couldn’t have been without informants at her company; she would inevitably learn about Clarice’s little schemes sooner or later. It was better for him to take the initiative and try to ease the tension between them.

At the same time, Oscar knew that after he laid everything out, Khloe might no longer be mentally prepared to trust him completely.

“Uncle Oscar, I actually understand why you did what you did. Everyone faces dilemmas. When I returned to the Morrison family, you were the first to reach out and help me. No matter what our positions are in the future, I hope you’ll still be my uncle and treat me as family.”

When Oscar finished, Khloe made her stance clear. She genuinely wanted to get along with him, but she didn’t expect him to always take her side.

Her attitude gave Oscar plenty of space and leeway. They were no longer trapped in an all-or-nothing dynamic; conflict and barriers naturally dissolved.

Whether she trusted him or not no longer mattered. Their rapport had already surpassed Clarice.

Pleased with Khloe’s maturity, Oscar gulped down a whole glass of wine, finally feeling at ease.

Michael spoke up, “Khloe, Clarice may still target you in the future, but if Dad can’t intervene, you can also consider turning to me for help.”

“Thank you, Michael,” Khloe replied with a smile.

Once the Morrison family matters were settled, Khloe’s mind was fixed entirely on going home to Nick. She barely ate, claiming she was full.

Oscar, understanding a young woman’s heart, gave a few perfunctory words to inquire about Nick and then let

Michael escort her.

Khloe initially wanted to refuse, but Michael followed her into the elevator. Suddenly, she realized he might have something more to say.

Seeing him hesitate, Khloe spoke first, “Is something on your mind, Michael?”

Michael smiled sheepishly and nodded. “There’s something I want to ask you for help with.”
