Chapter 357
“Seeing it in person is better anyway.’
Nick agreed, but a trace of disappointment lingered. “Once we have our home ready, we’ll have the wedding. I don’t want to make you wait too long.”
Khloe’s unspoken thoughts were laid bare by his words, and her cheeks flushed.
The thought of the wedding filled her with anticipation she had never felt before.
Even back when she had been close to Trey, she had been indifferent when he suggested skipping the wedding ceremony, treating it as a mere formality.
But now she realized-even if it were just a formality-experiencing it with the person she loved gave life its true meaning.
She wanted to be a real bride, the most beautiful and happiest bride for Nick.
“You just need to focus on healing, so I won’t have to wait too long.”
Khloe took the opportunity to remind him again: maintain a positive mindset, get proper rest, take medicine on schedule, and follow the doctor’s advice.
Whether it was her words or the effect of the medicine, Nick soon fell asleep in her arms.
Khloe, however, couldn’t sleep. Thoughts of the wedding made her nervous with excitement. She stayed still, quietly watching him, listening to his steady breathing.
Gradually, sleep began to claim her-but just as her eyes were about to close completely, she heard Nick murmur in a low, dreamlike voice.
She immediately rested her hand on the tense line of his back, trying to soothe him-but then, she heard him murmur, “…Michelle… don’t…”
The next day, at the Morrison Group.
Charlotte pushed open the door to Khloe’s office, finding her boss lost in thought.
She had knocked several times, receiving no reply. Seeing the office door ajar, she had entered to check.
“Khloe.”
Khloe snapped back to reality. “Oh, give it to me.”
Charlotte had just sent her some emails requiring approval. Khloe quickly reviewed the documents again on the spot, signing each one.
But Charlotte noticed something-Khloe pressed her hand on the documents while reading, a telltale sign that her attention wasn’t fully on the task. Charlotte, always perceptive, picked up on these small gestures.
Once she collected the files, Charlotte asked gently, “Khloe, you’re okay, right?”

“Oh, I’m fine. I was just thinking about something,” Khloe replied calmly, glancing at the time. “By the way, help me meet someone at the door. She’ll be here soon. Her name is Winnie Olson.”
Khloe gave Charlotte a brief description of Winnie’s appearance.
Winnie was coming to join the Morrison Group today. Khloe asked Charlotte to help her complete the onboarding procedures first, and then they would all have lunch together.
Charlotte nodded and left immediately to handle it.
Once alone, Khloe drew a slow breath and lightly tapped her cheeks as if giving herself courage.
