Khloe wasn’t very hungry, and having sampled quite a few wines at the winery that afternoon, she was already feeling a pleasant buzz. After a brief chat with some of Henry’s friends, she decided to head back.

The winery was a fair distance from the main estate. Just as she was about to get into the car, Ralph’s voice came from behind.

“Khloe, I’ve had a bit of wine tonight. Henry has allowed me to stay over. Would it be convenient to share a ride with you?”

Ralph strode over confidently. His usual entourage of assistants and aides were nowhere in sight.

“Ralph, where are your people?” Khloe asked, curious.

“They’ve gone with Henry to escort others,” he said softly. “I’m not returning with them, so I came to you directly.”

Khloe exchanged a glance with Delilah. There was enough room in the car, so she said nothing more and politely nodded, stepping in first.

The car was crowded with her entourage, so she sat in the back, separated from Ralph, who boarded last. Within minutes, they arrived at the villa.

Ralph’s room happened to be on the same floor as Khloe’s. They walked together to the end of the corridor. Khloe’s room was farther down; his was closer to the outer side. He reached his door first but didn’t head inside immediately. Instead, he stayed with Khloe and Delilah, clearly intent on escorting her to her room.

“Ralph, you’ve had a long day too. No need to see me to my room-please go get some rest,” Khloe said, trying to keep him at a distance.

Ralph could only smile and nod. “All right. Good night, Khloe. See you tomorrow.”

“Good night.” Khloe said, quickening her pace as she turned.

His overbearing attentions were making her uncomfortable. She had told him she was married-she thought he had understood that clearly during the luncheon-but now, tonight, he was pressing the same way again.

“Miss Khloe, do you feel comfortable staying here today?” Delilah asked politely as she escorted Khloe to her

room.

It was her responsibility to notice any discomfort in Khloe, from travel arrangements to meals.

“Everything is fine, thank you,” Khloe replied.

Seeing her response, Delilah relaxed slightly.

“By the way… Miss Khloe, what do you think of Mr. Remington?” she asked after a pause.

Khloe froze, her guard instantly rising. “Did my grandfather ask you to ask me that?”

“…No.”

Delilah’s features were sharp and elegant, but her demeanor and tone were careful and considerate. She looked

far older than she was. Khloe studied her silently; the implication behind the question was obvious.

Khloe’s gaze hardened. “Today, my grandfather had Ralph stay close to me the whole time. What exactly is the meaning of this? You should all know–I’m married.”

“That, I understand perfectly,” Delilah admitted, looking slightly uneasy. She quickly bowed. “Apologies for being presumptuous, Miss Khloe. Please don’t mind me. I’ll leave you to rest. If you need anything, just call me.”

She left swiftly, leaving no opportunity for Khloe to respond.

Khloe was left speechless-and then a sudden wave of nausea hit her. She quickly shut the door and rushed to the bathroom.
