Billionaire's match novel

Chapter 185 Loretta's words were warm, exuberant, and wonderfully direct. Khloe felt her cheeks heat up and her heart skip a beat. She quickly stole a glance at Nick, who was focused on the road ahead, yet a faint smile tugged at the corners of his lips. Without a word, he reached over and took the phone from her. His tone, rare in its softness, was like flowing water. "Grandma, don't scare her-we're on our way home." "Good, good! Be careful on the road, stay safe," came the reply, brisk but affectionate. Nick handed the phone back to Khloe.

She asked instinctively, her voice tinged with hesitation, "Tonight... we're staying at your place?" "Our home," Nick said simply. The words struck Khloe with a jolt. Of course-Nick's home was now her home too. "Grandma was just teasing. If you don't want to stay tonight, I'll take you back," he added. "I'm good," Khloe replied softly, her heart fluttering. As night deepened, they returned to the villa, where several people were already waiting for them.

Loretta had stationed many servants outside; the moment the car arrived, they hurried to carry their belongings, greeting them with all the ceremony of welcoming distinguished guests. Inside, the house had been festively decorated. The atmosphere instantly felt warm, cozy, and celebratory. Leon and Loretta were dressed in matching casual outfits, waiting specifically for the newlyweds. The scene made Khloe feel the reality of being married and being part of a big, loving family.

In the past, when she and Trey had registered with a fake marriage license, it had been a simple meal, no different from any ordinary day. The Fox family had never welcomed her, and no one had been waiting at home. "Khloe, from today on, you are officially part of our family! I'm so happy! Don't worry, I will treat you well and love you like my own granddaughter," Loretta said, taking Khloe's hands, tears brimming in her eyes, the rims red from emotion. Leon reminded her not to cry on such a happy day, and Khloe forced herself to hold it back. "Grandma, I should be the one happy.

To become your granddaughter-in-law, to have you as my family, I am truly lucky. I will honor and cherish you always," Khloe said, her voice trembling slightly with emotion as she hugged Loretta. She had always longed for a warm, happy home., Nick, who seldom showed emotion, also found himself momentarily moved by the scene-the tenderness in Khloe and his grandparents' faces was undeniable. "Alright, Khloe and I brought a birthday cake-do you want some? She made it herself," Nick quickly interjected, placing the cake on the table before anyone could protest.

Loretta and Leon were delighted, immediately instructing the servants to bring utensils. Normally, Nick never celebrated his birthday, and anyone presenting him a cake would be met with his usual cold expression-or worse, risk angering him. But now, with Khloe, Nick had brought the cake himself. Finally, the family could celebrate Nick's birthday, and it filled them with quiet joy. 1/2 Chapter 185 +25 Bonus The birthday celebration began at home, surrounded by family. Khloe had prepared the candles: Nick was twenty- nine, so she placed nine on the cake and carefully lit them herself.

"Nick, close your eyes before blowing out the candles and make a birthday wish," she instructed softly, noticing him reaching for the knife. Nick obediently did as she said, closing his eyes for a few seconds. "Alright," he said when he opened them. ц Cedella Cedella is a passionate storyteller known for her bold romantic and spicy novels that keep readers hooked from the very first chapter.
