Billionaire's match novel

---- Chapter 593 Khloe looked at Nick in surprise. The watch in her hand was a bespoke luxury piece-one of a kind in the world, designed this year specifically for Nick. Its value wasn't even measurable. He loved this watch and had only worn it once when they went to Jayelle City together. Nick said casually, "He helped you, so there should be some form of thanks. | didn't prepare anything when | came, so | hope he won't mind this." "No, this is your precious" Before she could refuse, Nick pulled her close and silenced her with a kiss.

His lips were gentle, but his attitude left no room for argument. "Ithas to be something precious to be sincere," he said firmly "Nick... are you... okay?" Khloe's eyes flickered with concern. She studied him carefully. His features were always commanding, his demeanor composed. He masked his emotions with ease; anything he didn't want revealed was impossible for others to guess. But with her, it was different. With her, Nick's emotions flowed freely, unguarded. ---- She knew that in front of her, he was like a child, completely unmasked.

Deep down, Nick was sensitive and possessive; the more he restrained himself, the more extreme he became. Yet now, she saw no anger on his face. Her heart thumped nervously. "I'm jealous," he admitted softly, "but | know your heart belongs to me alone. No man-no matter how talented or handsome- could take that from me." Nick was amused by the careful way Khloe looked at him. He reached out and pinched her cheek gently. She looked so utterly adorable. If anyone dared covet the woman he loved, how could he not react? But even as jealousy flared, his pride in their love was overwhelming.

Giving her the watch was another way of marking his territory. Khloe suddenly understood. By giving her such an extravagant gift, he was sending a sharp, unmistakable message. Ralph might have feelings for her, but Nick's gift was a bold declaration -public, confident, even almost disdainful in its dominance. "Nick, you're too cruel," she said, laughing and lightly nudging him. "Are you trying to make enemies? Ralph might just die of ---- jealousy." Nick pressed the watch firmly into her palm: "I's sincere.

If | can't be by your side, having someone else protecting you isn't a bad thing," he said. "I don't need anyone else protecting me. | only want you," Khloe said firmly. Nick paused, the words he wanted to say catching in his throat. He had thought of telling her that if Ralph treated her as well as. he did, it might be fine for them to be friends. That way, if something ever happened to him, she wouldn't lack someone good by her side. But the words wouldn't come out. "Stop overthinking," Khloe said, standing on her toes to press her cheek against his.

She wrapped her arms around his neck, clinging to him. "| know what you're thinking. You want me so. smitten than I'll never leave you." Nick let out a soft sigh. "Looks like that trick won't work-you've seen right through me." Their quiet conversation was interrupted by the reminder from Khloe's alarm. She had to go. Nick, unwilling to let her leave, escorted her to the elevator. When it was time to part, he grabbed her hand. ---- "Can you... not go back?" he asked softly. Khloe's heart tightened. She feared leaving him more than anything.
