Billionaire's match novel

Chapter 207 After Oscar finished speaking so earnestly, Michael couldn't bring himself to say anything more. He could only nod. Once most of the guests had been seen off, Ethan finally noticed Michelle standing alone in a corner. She had wanted some time to herself and hadn't left with her parents, remaining seated at one of the banquet tables. Now that almost everyone was gone, she rose in a daze, preparing to leave. "Michelle, please wait." Ethan strode over and called out to her softly. Michelle turned around. The redness and swelling around her eyes were obvious.

She shot him a resentful glance. "Is there something you need?" "I noticed you seem quite down. Did we fail to take proper care of you tonight?" Michelle shook her head. "No." "You've had some drinks tonight, haven't you? I'm free at the moment-why don't I give you a ride?" Ethan offered with a polite smile. Michelle had already called for a car, but after hearing his words, she didn't refuse. She was still trapped in the shock of learning that Nick and Khloe were legally married, her emotions teetering on the brink of collapse.

After getting into Ethan's car, she refused to sit in the passenger seat and went straight to the back. He tried to make conversation, but she remained distracted and barely responded. Left with no choice, Ethan focused on driving. They hadn't gone far when, at an intersection with a traffic light, Michelle suddenly began pounding frantically on the car door. "I'm going to throw up. Startled, Ethan quickly pulled over near the street corner. Michelle had clearly drunk quite a bit. She clutched a tree and vomited, abandoning all concern for her appearance.

Ethan turned his head away and took out a silk handkerchief he carried with him, handing it to her. "You've really had a hard night." Though his words were gentle, inwardly, he felt nothing but disdain. Michelle had once been known as a goddess among society ladies-beautiful, talented, and from a distinguished family, cherished and protected by countless admirers. And now, for the sake of Nick, she had reduced herself to this pitiful state, like a discarded woman. It was truly an ugly sight. "Why are you giving me a ride? Ethan, don't beat around the bush.

Say what you really want to say." 1/2 Chapter 207 +25 Bonus After the worst of the nausea passed, Michelle wiped the corner of her mouth and tossed the handkerchief aside. A flicker passed through Ethan's eyes. Even if he wouldn't have kept something she'd used anyway, the handkerchief was expensive-and Michelle hadn't bothered with even a token courtesy. "I simply feel sorry for you, Michelle." Ethan smiled faintly. He had known Michelle was a smart woman. "Sorry for me?

What do you feel sorry about?" "Everyone knows you and Nick were childhood sweethearts, practically a match made in heaven. You nearly got engaged back then. Yet in the blink of an eye, everything has changed-Nick and Khloe are now husband and wife. Isn't that something to regret?" "What do you know!" Struck where it hurt, Michelle glared at Ethan and snapped hoarsely. Ethan smiled calmly. "I may not understand everything, but I can see how deeply you feel.

And I can also see that a marriage formed in such a short time-between Nick and Khloe-is hardly reliable." Hearing this, Michelle's expression finally softened. She knew Ethan had an agenda. But right now, she was too helpless-too desperate for someone to comfort her. "So what if it is?" "I'm willing to help you. Just because they're married, does that mean they'll stay together forever? How long have Nick and Khloe known each other-and how long have you known him?" Ethan paused, watching as the color slowly returned to Michelle's face.

He lifted his hand and gently smoothed the messy strands of hair by her cheek. "If pleading with sincere feelings can't get you what you want, then take it back. I'll help you.' 11 Michelle looked at Ethan's refined face and those piercing eyes. For a moment, it felt as though something inside her had been ignited. 2/2 Cedella Cedella is a passionate storyteller known for her bold romantic and spicy novels that keep readers hooked from the very first chapter.
