Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 400

Chapter 400

Although everything sounded fine and proper, Nick still couldn’t shake his worry.

“You can’t go,” Khloe said softly. “You need to rest and recover.”

“I can go.”

Seeing him insist, Khloe had no choice but to invoke their agreement. “Are you ignoring my concerns Everything we agreed on before… was that all for nothing?”

“I don’t want to be apart from you. Not even for a single day…”

now?

His brow furrowed deeply, voice tense, throat rising and falling as his words faltered. Fear gnawed at him. He felt restless, uneasy-he didn’t know if it was his own inner anxiety or some premonition of misfortune.

“I don’t want to be apart from you either,” Khloe said gently. “But this is a special situation. I can’t drag a patient halfway across the world. Please, respect me as your wife.”

Before, he had asked her to respect the patient’s condition-and she had. Now the roles were reversed.

Nick had no argument. He couldn’t force her to stay, nor could he force himself to go. Besides… his body was a burden. Even if he felt fine, the journey could bring complications.

He said nothing.

Khloe cupped his face and kissed him. Though a trace of melancholy lingered in his expression, this was his compromise.

After a long moment, he said, “Take a few bodyguards with you.”

“Okay.”

“Report to me immediately if anything happens. Don’t hide anything.”

“Okay.”

It made sense, and yet didn’t. Perhaps Henry had family secrets to share, or maybe there was tension between him and the Hunt family. But if there really was animosity, why had he agreed to her marriage with the Hunt family in the first place?

Khloe couldn’t extract more over the phone. Henry insisted he would explain everything when they met. Maybe she was overthinking it.

That same night, Angela accompanied Barney to his engagements and sent him back to his hotel. She then returned alone to Trey’s villa.

Tomorrow, she would leave Goldmont City. But before departing, she wanted to see Trey one last time.

Ever since Alicia had claimed he was injured, she couldn’t remain indifferent. With Lauren now aware of her connection to Solara Energy, their divorce was off as long as the two families talked things through.

Angela entered the villa, only to find herself repeatedly entering the wrong door code.

He had changed the lock-already!

Frustrated, she slammed the buttons and immediately called Trey, all the while ringing the doorbell.
