Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 356

Chapter 356

Khloe laughed and cut him off.

She could understand that Nick hadn’t been coddled as a child-George had been strict, even harsh, and perhaps that had left young Nick with a trace of insecurity.

But Nick had grown into a fine young man-the sole heir of the Hunt family, the lofty CEO of the Hunt Group. In business, he could turn a fortune with a flick of his hand.

Even without the halo of status, standing there alone, he was a scene to behold.

The first time she met him, Khloe hadn’t even imagined discussing love with him…

If anyone had reason to feel insecure, it should have been her.

“Tell me,” he said.

Nick ignored her teasing. He looked at her with complete sincerity, as if he needed an honest answer right here, right now.

“You have many qualities that make you easy to like, yes. But my feelings… they aren’t only because of your qualities. Being with you makes me feel happy and hopeful about life. I want to spend my whole life like this— with you.

“Besides, I think liking someone shouldn’t have a specific reason or logic.

“You like someone because you naturally want to be with them. No matter who they truly are, you accept and embrace them. As long as they are themselves, you will love them.”

Khloe spoke thoughtfully, her voice equally solemn as she returned his gaze.

Seeing him so absorbed, so serious, she couldn’t help smiling softly. She reached out and touched his face.

“Don’t worry. I know the passion of early love and married life will change over time. I don’t need you to revolve around me you just need to be yourself. And besides… didn’t we agree that trust is the first rule? Trust that we’ll go all the way to the end.”

—

Nick looked at her, the corners of his mouth twitching into a smile that didn’t reach his eyes.

He was touched by her words-but precisely because he was touched, he felt a deeper shame.

She had been so open, so certain of him, yet he could never reveal the past. He dared not. He was too afraid of losing her, too unwilling to even give her the choice.

After a long moment, Nick reached out and pressed her head once more to his chest.

“I understand. You like me-for who I am, even if I’m a madman.”

It was meant as a joke, yet Khloe caught the shadow of sadness in his tone.

“What’s wrong? You seem… upset today.”

“No. I feel great when I’m with you.’

His voice was low, steady, but he held her tighter.

Khloe sensed he didn’t want to say more-the words hovered at his lips and were swallowed back. Perhaps when someone wasn’t feeling well, they were naturally subdued.

Even if something troubled him, she decided to wait until he was ready to speak.

Before sleep, Nick brought up the matter of their marital home.
