Billionaire's match novel

Chapter 133 Nick glanced instinctively at Khloe, and just then, she smiled back at him. Their eyes met, and Nick felt a faint warmth rise to his ears. Khloe had been drinking, and her flushed cheeks and sparkling eyes made her look irresistibly cute-so innocent, yet teasingly charming. He thought back to what she had whispered against his chest in the corridor earlier, and quickly looked away, suppressing the flutter in his chest. "Come on, Nick, have a drink with me!

Today Khloe has already had quite a few, and since your fiancée has such a strong tolerance, you can't lose either!" Liam handed him a glass, his tone full of cheer. Nick hesitated. He had driven himself tonight and didn't intend to drink. But seeing Khloe by his side, he found he couldn't bring himself to refuse. He took the glass. He planned to toast each elder in turn, but Khloe's fingers had entwined with his, holding on tightly, as if refusing to let go.

Just as he lifted the glass, her delicate fingers lightly gripped his, and her soft, slightly drunken voice murmured, "Let me toast you instead. Nick just recovered from a fever-he shouldn't drink yet." Nick's lips pressed together, his heart melting at her gentle tone: Khloe, half-drunk, was blissfully relaxed, speaking and acting on instinct rather than thought. "Nick just recovered from a fever? Then absolutely, no drinking! Who wouldn't worry about their fiancée? Nick, look how well Khloe treats you-you must take good care of her!" Liam's words made Khloe blush even deeper.

She realized, belatedly, that she may have overstepped by taking the initiative. After all, she was drinking on behalf of Nick... and she hadn't thought it through. Flustered, she tried to let go of Nick's hand-but he, in turn, gently tightened his grip, holding her close at his side. "You're right. I'll take good care of her," Nick said, his low voice soft and tender. He then took the glass from her hand. "Sorry everyone, my fiancée has had a little too much to drink. I'll take her back to rest," he added firmly. "Shall I have my assistant escort you?" Liam offered eagerly.

Loretta, watching Khloe and Nick enter together, already understood everything. She exchanged a knowing glance with Arista; as women, they shared an unspoken understanding. Seeing Liam oblivious, Arista quickly interjected, "Alright, Liam, Nick hasn't been drinking. Let him take Khloe- don't worry about it." Liam opened his mouth to protest, but Loretta immediately stood, gently ushering Nick and Khloe toward the exit. "Alright, off you go." Khloe hurriedly nodded and waved at Loretta and Arista. Nick merely nodded in thanks, a small smile tugging at his lips as he led her out swiftly..

Seeing her struggling to keep pace, he scooped her up into his arms as soon as they were outside the room. "Nick! I can walk..." Khloe murmured, her hands immediately wrapping around his broad back. 1/2 +25 Bonus "But I can't bear to see you struggle," Nick said, his voice calm but firm. "Next time, no matter who it is, don't drink this much again." Khloe tilted her head obediently and nodded.

"Okay." She had wanted to say she hadn't actually drunk that much-she had handled more at past gatherings-but she remembered Nick had already witnessed her tipsy state during the previous Morrison project meeting.
