Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 584

Chapter 584

Khloe’s gaze fell on the inky night beyond the window. “I agreed.”

“Good.” Nick didn’t ask why. He simply said, “As long as it’s something you truly want to do, I support you. No matter how long it takes, I’ll wait.”

Khloe felt a rush of warmth in her chest, and tears welled up in her eyes. Yet her lips curled into a quiet smile. She had known Nick would say this.

It was him-him alone-who made her ache with longing, made her feel fragile, yet gave her the strength to stand firm.

“But don’t push yourself too hard.” Nick added, his voice tinged with worry, as if sensing something. “Whatever comes, I’ll face it with you.”

“Nick…” Khloe laughed bitterly, letting tears slip down her cheeks. She wiped them away and said softly, “I just … really want to hold you right now.”

Her casual words left the line on the other end silent. She waited a moment, then called his name again.

Suddenly, Nick’s voice came again, sharp and serious, “Khloe, I want to see you.”

Khloe smiled. “I want to see you too. I want to see you even more than you want to see me.”

“Really?” Nick asked. “Then if I were standing right in front of you… would you be happy?”

“Of course.”

Hearing her firm reply, the worry in Nick’s eyes finally eased. He spoke softly. “I’m at the entrance of Evergreen Manor right now.”

Khloe froze for several seconds. She rushed to the far balcony and peered into the darkness. The estate was vast, its outer grounds lost to sight in the black night.

“Nick… are you joking?”

“Do I sound like it?”

Her heart raced. She could feel his sincerity. He wouldn’t tease her with something like this.

“Where exactly?”

“At the manor entrance. It’s after curfew. They won’t let me in.”

Hearing him, Khloe wanted nothing more than to sprint to him immediately. But she knew that if she went out now, she would certainly alert Henry. And Nick appearing at this moment would only make things more complicated.

“It’s late. Henry’s rules are strict. I can’t get out. You go back first; I’ll come to you first thing in the morning.”

Even as she said it, her heart still fluttered with excitement.

“Okay. I’ll wait for you,” Nick’s voice was gentle, even though she knew he must feel disappointed.

After hanging up, Khloe leaned against the balcony railing, gazing toward the distant estate gates. Her mind was a tangle of emotions. She knew Nick must be frustrated.

Nick.

‘I’m sorry, Nick. I always make you wait for me,’ she thought sadly.

That night, Khloe tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

At the first hint of dawn, she got up to wash and dress, deliberately choosing a pale blue dress she knew Nick liked.

When she came downstairs, Henry was already in the dining room, having breakfast. Seeing her, he looked slightly surprised. “Up so early?”

Henry was a light sleeper, usually awake by five, so his schedule tended to start early.

“Maybe I haven’t fully adjusted to the time difference yet,” Khloe said casually, keeping her tone light. “By the way, Grandpa, I want to stop by Dust Capital later. I’ve made an appointment with Ralph.”

Henry put down his newspaper and regarded her carefully. “Ralph?”
