Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 595

Chapter 595

“Ralph, I really appreciate it,” Khloe couldn’t help but say again.

Ralph cut her off with a wave of his hand. “Enough. Don’t thank me anymore, and don’t go giving me a ‘good person’ card.

“I’m just a businessman. My only concern is working with you, not Henry. Stirring up conflict between you two doesn’t benefit me in the slightest. And frankly, I don’t care about your family affairs.

“I don’t even know the full details of today’s events. What I do know is this: we discussed a project, went shopping, and as a friend, I genuinely admire you.”

“…Thank you,” Khloe murmured, her heart finally settling.

She hadn’t misjudged him. Ralph was level-headed and professional-a reliable partner both in business and in principle.

He drove Khloe back to Evergreen Manor. Before she stepped out of the car, he retrieved his usual cologne from his assistant and spritzed it lightly in the car.

“All right. You can go now.”

“Thank you,” Khloe replied with a polite nod, smiling lightly.

“Can we be friends?” Ralph asked suddenly, calling her back again. “I mean not just business partners—but friends in life, too.”

There was no hidden desire in his eyes this time. Unlike before, when he had been subtly pursuing her, now his request was genuine. He sincerely wanted to be friends with Khloe-not out of infatuation, but because he thought it might be worthwhile.

Nick, internationally notorious for his icy demeanor and unapproachability, had visibly changed in subtle ways since being with her. Even unseen, the effect was clear: a once-prickly lion had been soothed. Perhaps befriending Khloe could teach him how to better express emotions—and maybe, just maybe, he could find his own happiness sooner.

Khloe’s lips curved into a faint smile. “I thought we already were.’

With that, she turned and left decisively.

Ralph’s assistant carried her belongings all the way to the villa.

Delilah had been waiting. The people she had assigned to monitor Khloe all day hadn’t noticed anything unusual. She had returned early, allowing Ralph and Khloe to shop and have their meal without interference.

Seeing Khloe arrive with her arms full, Delilah felt a mix of relief and slight unease.

“Miss Khloe, welcome back.”

Delilah handed some of the shopping bags to her staff and even helped carry a couple herself.

“Mm,” Khloe responded softly, intending to greet Henry.

“Master Henry is resting right now; no need to bother him,” Delilah reminded her.

“It’s only eight o’clock. There’s plenty of time,” Khloe said, ignoring her, and went straight to Henry.

He was still in his study, not resting, though several aides and assistants were gathered around, seemingly discussing matters. But when he saw Khloe enter, he broke into a gentle smile, prompting Delilah to step back.
