Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 379

Chapter 379

Every time he brought up those three days and nights they had spent clinging to each other, Angela’s emotions never seemed to resonate with him. She would quickly change the subject, almost shyly, as if she didn’t want him to linger on it.

And… the red birthmark behind her ear-it was now gone.

“Hah… hahahaha…”

Trey’s mind swirled, and he couldn’t help but laugh out loud. At first it was quiet, then louder and louder, until tears pricked the corners of his eyes.

Seeing him acting strangely, the old classmate, who had been speaking, panicked and quickly found an excuse to leave. Others, confused by the commotion, followed suit. Another friend who had wanted to say more to Trey was dragged away by his wife.

Alicia rolled her eyes at them. What a useless bunch of fair-weather friends-good for nothing!

Trey staggered again, and Alicia immediately gripped his arm. “Trey, what’s wrong? Are you okay?”

“I was wrong.

Trey glanced at her, his eyes glimmering with unshed tears, lips still curling upward in a smile that tugged painfully at the heart.

Alicia shook her head. “It’s not your fault. It’s Angela and Khloe… it’s their fault.”

“No, it’s my fault.”

Trey sneered, his face pale as paper. A single tear slid down his cheek, tracing into the corner of his mouth. The bitter taste made him nearly gag.

On the drive home, Trey didn’t speak a word. He sat numb in the back seat, staring blankly at the road rushing past outside.

He hadn’t wanted to worry Lauren, which was why he’d asked Alicia to pick him up. She had no choice but to take him back to his own villa.

Since Khloe had left, Angela was gone, and now, with everything else going wrong, all the Fox household’s maids and servants had been let go. The family estate had caretakers, but at his own place, Trey was entirely alone.

Alicia hesitated. “Trey, should Stanley and I stay the night to keep you company?”

“…No.”

Once home, Trey collapsed onto the sofa, his body sinking deep into the cushions. His reactions were slow; even after Alicia spoke to him several times, he only shook his head.

In a hoarse voice, he said, “You should go. I want to be alone. I’m fine.”

“But you’re injured. I think I should stay…”

“Don’t bother me.”

Trey cut her off. His voice was quiet, but it carried a chill sharp enough to cut.

Stanley, who hated being troubled, especially now that the Fox family wasn’t what it used to be, had no intention of arguing. Trey had made himself clear; Stanley simply pulled Alicia aside. “Alright, Trey, you rest. Call us if you need anything.”

And with that, he firmly ushered her out.

Outside, the sky was already lightening. The room’s lights were off, and only a faint glow seeped through the

curtains.

But the light could not pierce Trey’s long night. Because for him, it felt like the night had only just begun.

Alicia’s frustration boiled over. The moment she left Trey’s villa, she tried calling Khloe-ready to scold her. Not surprisingly, her number had been blocked. The call wouldn’t go through.
