Billionaire's match novel

---- Chapter 586 Beside them, Delilah watched the two with a faint trace of surprise. No wonder Khloe was a daughter of the Morrison family-when it came to changing her approach, she was fast. The day before, she had maintained her distance, insisting she had a husband. Now, all for Henry's favor, she turned around and interacted with Ralph as naturally as if nothing had happened. "Delilah, | don't think you need to come along," Khloe said suddenly, glancing back as Delilah prepared to enter the building with them. Delilah froze slightly, and Khloe smiled.

"Ralph and | need to discuss some matters. It's company confidential, so it's not appropriate to bring anyone along. Besides, Ralph and | might go somewhere else this afternoon, maybe have dinner. It wouldn't be fair to make you wait all day. You should head back first; when we're done, Ralph will see me home." Khloe's glance shifted to Ralph, and he immediately understood. "You're right. You don't need to follow Khloe.

I'll inform Henry about today's arrangements, and I'll personally accompany her for the whole process," Ralph said, his eyes crinkling slightly as ---- he turned to Delilah Delilah had no choice but to nod reluctantly. "Understood." But as she watched Khloe and Ralph walk away, something in her gut told her something wasn't quite right. "lil head back first. Keep two people behind, stay discreet, and continue monitoring Khloe." "Got it." "Khloe, the project files aren't complete yet. We can discuss them this afternoon.

How about | take you around the company this morning, and regarding what you just mentioned-" Ralph was brimming with energy as soon as they stepped into the elevator, but Khloe interrupted him before he could finish. "Ralph, I'm sorry. Could | ask you a small favor?" The elevator held only the two of them. Khloe dared to speak openly now. She lifted her chin and looked directly at Ralph, her eyes shining with earnestness. Their gaze met for only a few seconds, but it was enough to make his heart skip a beat. He nodded before she could even elaborate.

Soon after, Khloe changed into an assistant's uniform, donning a ---- baseball cap, and openly got into the car Ralph had prepared Once seated, she handed the driver an address. "Please go as quickly as possible. Thank you." She glanced at the time. Though it was still early, she guessed Nick had only just woken up. Her worry for him gnawed at her, and she missed him intensely-so much that she wished time could be measured in seconds. At the hotel, Nick had barely slept all night. He had woken early to check his phone. Khloe must be hiding something from him after meeting Henry.

His eyes were shadowed with faint bruises of fatigue, and his stomach still throbbed from discomfort. He had taken medicine, but it hadn't eased the unease. Reluctantly, he made a call to have the attending doctors come to him. It was still early, and the two doctors hadn't fully woken yet. When they arrived, they looked more haggard than Nick himself. "Sorry to bother you so early. I'm not feeling well. I'm about to see my wife, and | don't want her to worry," Nick said softly.

There was none of the authoritative bearing one might expect; in fact, when he spoke of his wife, a faint smile touched his lips. ---- The female doctor couldn't help but be struck once more. Even in his weakened state, he considered his wife. He concealed his own discomfort effortlessly, yet his excitement at seeing his wife shone through. Someone so reserved, who could even mask the pangs of pain in his heart, yet couldn't hide the joy of seeing her-this was the measure of how deeply he loved her.
