Billionaire's match novel

---- Chapter 473 Khloe's voice was low and soft, half coaxing, half playful. Normally, no one could get Nick to relent once he'd started something-but when Khloe spoke, he could only obey. The tenderness between them was so palpable that everyone at the table felt their cheeks heat up. Though Nick and Khloe were both approachable and kind, their identities carried weight, so people usually kept a polite distance. But this flood of public affection made restraint impossible. "Wow...

| actually believe in love again." "Khloe, after this meal with you two, | think we might all get diabetes from the sweetness!" Khloe froze, then blushed and lowered her gaze, coughing lightly to cover her embarrassment "Stop teasing. Just eat-everyone, eat more... Lenny, don't peel the lobster; eat it yourself." Lenny glanced at Nick, who gave a subtle nod. Only then did he sit, still peeling two small lobsters and placing one each in Khloe's and Nick's bowls. ---- But before the lobster even settled in Nick's bowl, he scooped it straight back onto Khloe's plate.

The tiny gesture immediately triggered another round of teasing. Khloe ducked her head, gently nudging Nick's leg under the table with her shoe. Enough already. She didn't want to flaunt their relationship too overtly... that would be obnoxious. Even so, the table was now drenched in the sweet tang of their romance, and the mood had warmed considerably. After playfully teasing Khloe, the conversation naturally shifted to love and relationships. Most of the women at the table were young, focused on their careers, unmarried, and single.

They rarely even thought about romance-but watching Khloe and Nick today, they realized that maybe having someone like Nick wasn't impossible. Soon, they all began asking Khloe the question everyone wanted to know: how did she manage to keep Nick so utterly devoted? Even Nick was slightly curious. He glanced at Khloe, deep eyes glinting with playful interest. "No tricks... we just happened to like each other at the right time, "Khloe mumbled, shoving a bite of food into her mouth while trying to answer. ---- What was happening?

Nick was showing off their affection, yet she'd somehow become the center of attention. "No way there are no tricks! One of your tricks is just being so beautiful, Khloe!" "Not only beautiful, but she's also the CEO of the Morrison Group. She and Nick are perfectly matched, inside and out." "Khloe is so gentle and sweet-if | were Nick, I'd fall in love at first sight. Right, Nick?" By now, everyone had relaxed considerably, even joking at Nick's expense. He didn't mind at all, nodding and playing along. "Yes...

| fell in love at first sight." The moment he said it, a chorus of teasing and "oohs' erupted around the table. Khloe's face flushed red. She quickly intervened, serving everyone bowls of seafood porridge. "Hurry up, it's getting cold." She was particularly concerned about Nick. Seeing him still hadn't eaten, she couldn't care less about anyone else's eyes- she simply watched until he finished the small bowl of porridge ---- in front of him. Khloe didn't notice the subtle crease between his brows as he ate slowly.

Back at the hotel, it would soon be past midnight, and the first thing Khloe planned to do was give Nick his medicine. He had caught a chill last night, so today's doses included cold medicine as well.
