Billionaire's match novel

Chapter 373 "It's all in the past." Khloe didn't want to say more, tossing the words out coldly. Seeing her expression, Winnie wisely stayed silent. "By the way... Nick is here. He just saw you both a moment ago. I wonder if-" Khloe tensed instantly at Winnie's words. "What did you say? Nick is here?" "Yes. You didn't take your phone with you to the restroom, so I picked up his call... He's here to pick you up. I'm leaving now!" Winnie relayed the situation honestly, but Khloe didn't wait for her to finish. She bolted for the exit.

Nick had just seen Trey entangle her-he wouldn't be upset, would he? Her phone was with Nick, and she didn't see him at the entrance, so she sprinted toward the parking area. Sure enough, in the dimly lit lot, he was already standing by her car. Nick's tall frame cast a straight, dark shadow in the night. Even from the gloom, there was a faint loneliness, a trace of isolation in his presence. "Nick." Seeing him, Khloe finally exhaled a little. She called his name softly and ran faster toward him. Nick wore a thick, oversized wool coat.

Though he had lost a bit of weight in the past few days, his posture remained upright and imposing. Nick's gaze softened the lingering sharpness in his eyes when he saw her. He reached out, and she, like a small kitten, leaned lightly into his embrace. "Why'd you run?" Nick's palm brushed her back gently. "I'm not going anywhere." "When did you get here? Just now..." Khloe looped her arms around his waist, immediately asking. "Not long. I happened to see Trey bothering you." Nick cut her off. His voice was calm, almost neutral, betraying no obvious emotion.

Yet, the more composed he sounded, the more unsettling it felt. Khloe had assumed that seeing Trey would make him act immediately, perhaps even confronting Trey on the spot. She hadn't expected him to remain so collected. In truth, Nick wasn't calm at all. When he saw Trey struggling with her, a rush of terrifying thoughts had surged through his mind. It was precisely because of those thoughts that he chose to restrain himself. He wanted to walk forward with Khloe properly-never again losing control like before. Still, before Khloe arrived at the car park, Nick had made a quick call.

It was purely a coincidence that I ran into him today!" Khloe felt it necessary to clarify. Nick's voice was gentle, calm in tone-but that didn't mean he was comfortable. "Mhm." He nodded without saying more. He brushed a strand of hair from her face, tousled by the wind. "Did he touch you anywhere?" Khloe froze. "He... didn't touch me." The conflict had happened so fast that she barely reacted before he was pulled away.

If anything, he might have brushed against her briefly. "Here... or here..." 11 Nick's hand traced from her face down to her waist, gripping firmly enough to leave a slight sting. Khloe let out a soft hum, puzzled, and finally saw the unmistakable anger hidden in his furrowed brows. "Are you mad at me?" He leaned closer, his breath hot against her skin, his tone low and measured as he corrected her.
