Chapter 512
Nick looked up and met Khloe’s sparkling, teasing gaze, instantly realizing she was deliberately trying to provoke him.
“I miss you.”
“You still miss me? Then why aren’t you really listening to what I’m saying?”
“I am listening.”
He smiled, letting her hand rest against his cheek. His features were as if painted, his deep-set eyes calm and steady, even in shadow.
“Khloe, we’re married now. How about we formalize our assets?”
Khloe blinked in surprise. “Formalize our assets?”
She laughed softly. “What, are you afraid that if we have a fight in the future, I’ll take your money?”
“No,” Nick said gently. “It’s not that. I just don’t want you to be exposed to any risk. You’re the CEO of Morrison Group-if that job ever tires you, you could step down. The Hunt Group is strong, and I believe you could easily take the role of vice president there too.”
“Enough already. One company’s responsibility is enough for me-I can’t take on another.”
Khloe knew exactly what he meant. He just wanted to give her more.
Loving someone often makes you feel indebted. So now, Nick even wanted to extend that to the Hunt family holdings.
“You can handle it,” he said patiently. “Not just the shares and authority at Hunt Group-everything I personally own, you should fully enjoy.”
“We’re married. What’s yours is mine… I already have all that, don’t I?”
They were legally married, and the Hunt family treated her well. Khloe had no worries about that.
“Yes, but if we formalize it, then if anything ever happened to me, I’d feel more at ease.”
Many in the Hunt family wouldn’t question how Nick allocated his personal property. But the Hunt Group was different. The company had no ties to Khloe, and George was difficult to deal with. Loretta and Arista couldn’t protect her forever.
Khloe’s brow furrowed sharply.
She pushed Nick away and sat upright, locking eyes with him. “What are you saying? You’re acting weird today. Anything happening’? What do you mean-you might have an accident?”
“I’m just giving an example,” he said, placing his hand on her cheek, gently rubbing her brow with his finger.
“I don’t like hearing you give examples like that,” she said seriously.
“Alright, I won’t say it that way. Tomorrow, I’ll have a lawyer come over. All my personal assets will be disclosed

Khloe didn’t understand. Usually, if she got upset, Nick would calm her first. But today, his focus was entirely on property.
She was already worth billions-why did it even matter what he gave her? What she wanted most now wasn’t money–it was him, and that desire was obvious enough.
As soon as Nick finished speaking, Khloe pushed him away and stood, heading back to her room. His words had unsettled her, making it feel as if he were already preparing to leave.
It wasn’t long before Nick followed. Seeing her sitting at the vanity, he wrapped his arms around her from behind.
In the mirror, his face held a soft smile. “Not happy?”
“No… I just don’t want to hear you say these things.”
