Billionaire's match novel

Chapter 411 "Master George, welcome home..." The servant's voice carried through the space. Arista had already suspected it might be George. Normally, the servants wouldn't open the door directly. George had called earlier to say he was returning to the country tonight. Arista, worried no one would be home when he arrived, had sent him a message after she reached Khloe's place. Since Nick's accident, George had only made a few calls to ask about the situation and had never visited Nick in person.

His absence had left not just Nick cold-hearted, but the whole family simmering with unspoken resentment. "Why have you come here?" Loretta's smile vanished the moment she saw George. "For a family meal. Why wasn't I invited?" George's voice was cold as he handed his coat to the servant, then stepped toward the dining table with heavy, deliberate strides. Khloe was about to rise, but Nick gently held her arm down. One hand held his bowl; the other pressed lightly on hers. He didn't look up, as if he hadn't noticed George's piercing gaze sweeping across him.

"Nick..." "Eat," Nick murmured, picking up some food and placing it carefully into Khloe's bowl. "Rude, really rude," George muttered, his eyes flicking from Nick to Khloe. Khloe shifted uncomfortably, unsure of what to do. Arista stepped forward, tapping George on the arm. "Why do you come in and give Nick that attitude? Didn't I tell you? Khloe is hosting us today. You should've gone home to get some rest!" "I came to see my son and daughter-in-law. Are you kicking me out?" George snapped, his tone icy, radiating authority that made the air tense. Khloe glanced at Nick, then spoke up.

"Dad, of course not. Please, have a seat." She knew how displeased Nick was, but elders had to be respected. Khloe could only use her words to soften the tension; she couldn't shield him from George's scrutiny. Gently, she reversed the hand he was holding, slipped her fingers into his, and guided it discreetly under the table. Her warmth slowly seeped into his cold palm. Nick cast a quick glance at her, jaw tightening. "Ridiculous," George muttered. "Now that my son has a wife, I might as well be an outsider." He didn't sit, his gaze fixed squarely on Nick.

Nick said nothing, didn't even glance at him. George had just finished a long day of work and rushed back to the country. He couldn't fathom how anyone could think his son's injuries left him unmoved-especially Nick, whom he'd known carried resentment toward him since childhood. 1/2 Chapter 411 +25 Bonus He couldn't stand Nick's apparent helplessness. A man should have backbone! Pain and setbacks happen to everyone-so what? One survives and endures. If it were him, he would never let the whole family coddle him while he acted like the world owed him everything.

"George, what are you saying?" Loretta snapped. "You're getting colder with age! Your son barely survived- he's still recovering and you come here just to scowl at him? Can't you say a kind word?" Leon, worried she'd get worked up, cleared his throat and furrowed his brow. "Enough. If you want to eat, sit down and eat. Say less. If you don't wish to share a proper meal, then leave."
