Khloe had whispered, "No need to believe in ghosts. No need to trust yourself. Whenever you feel lost or uncertain, just trust me. We're husband and wife. From now on, we face the future as one."
That afternoon, Lenny accompanied Nick and Khloe, along with the mansion's butler and two bodyguards, to personally view several luxury estates. Each property had already been carefully pre-selected.
The most extravagant one rivaled the Hunt family estate itself. Its scenery and facilities were flawless, and it had even been used as a filming location for a national exhibition documentary. The estate was called Cloud Palace.
The only downside: the price. The auction was nearing sixty million.
Nick wanted the best for Khloe. From quality to price, he spared nothing. He was willing to bid whatever it took to secure Cloud Palace.
Khloe thought it was extravagantly over the top and considered a more understated residence. But Nick asked only if she was satisfied. The moment she nodded, he made the decision without hesitation.
Cloud Palace would be their wedding home. Khloe didn't even have to think about it—if news got out, it would be a media sensation.
Once the house was secured, all subsequent paperwork and renovations were entrusted to Lenny.
The style, furnishings, and decor? All to match Khloe's taste. She only had to approve the final decisions.
After touring the house, Khloe felt a little tired and asked Nick if he was worn out. If his body couldn't take it, they could head back first to rest.
"I'm not tired. The sun is about to set. We still need to do some shopping, then head home together."
The words slipped out naturally. Nick recalled a line from the movie they had watched together recently: The sun is setting—we should go home together.
He gently took her hand as they stepped out of Cloud Palace.
She looked up. Indeed, the sun was dipping low, painting the sky in blood-red hues.
