Billionaire's match novel

---- Chapter 603 Clearly, Khloe had been up for quite some time. And the clothes scattered on the floor were outdoor clothes. Henry's gaze sharpened at once as he shot a look at Delilah. Delilah's heart sank. Cold sweat broke out across her back. Seeing the old man stride into the room, she froze for a split second before hurrying after him But just as the group rushed in, movement came from the bathroom. The sound of running water stopped abruptly, and the bathroom door was flung open. A startled cry rang out.

Wrapped in a bath towel, Khloe saw everyone charging toward her and immediately slammed the door shut again. "Everyone out!" Delilah snapped back to her senses and stepped forward at once, spreading her arms to block the way and barking at those behind Henry. They quickly lowered their eyes and retreated out of the room. A trace of embarrassment crossed Henry's face as well. He ---- turned his head aside and stepped away. Khloe's voice soon came from the bathroom. "Grandpa, why did you come in without saying anything? | was in the shower!" Faced with her reproach, Henry fell silent.

Delilah immediately spoke up, "Miss Khloe, Master Henry was worried about you. You got up much later than usual today, so he thought you were still asleep." "We'll wait for you to get dressed, then we'll talk outside," Henry said in a low voice, glancing again at the clothes strewn across the floor. Even if Khloe had been bathing, those were clearly not the clothes of someone who had just gotten out of bed. Delilah wanted to speak again, but the old man stopped her with a look. She could only stand aside and keep quiet. Soon, Khloe emerged in a bathrobe A strong fragrance filled the air.

Henry studied her. She had washed thoroughly from head to toe; even her neck was flushed red. "Did you go out this morning?" he asked bluntly. ---- Khloe paused. "Go out? | only just got up. | haven't gone anywhere." His eyes flicked toward the clothes on the floor. "If you didn't go out, then what about these clothes?" "Oh, those are what | changed out of yesterday. | was looking for something on the sofa just now and tossed them on the floor," Khloe explained calmly, without the slightest hint of guilt. Delilah quickly played along, picking up the clothes and bringing them over.

She said softly, "Miss Khloe is right. Yesterday she went out wearing this outfit." The clothes still carried a heavy trace of perfume-Ralph's scent. The knot in Delilah's chest finally loosened. Khloe had deliberately created the illusion that she had gone out, for the old man to see. Once suspicion was lifted, the truth felt even more convincing than a flawless lie. Henry hesitated Delilah added, "Miss Khloe, next time just let me handle things like this. | should have cleaned up for you earlier." ---- "Grandpa, | slept in today.

As soon as | got up, | wanted to take a shower to wake myself up. Did you have something urgent to see me about?" As she spoke, Khloe turned and went back into the inner bedroom to change. Her voice was steady and composed, not at all like someone who had just seen the news. Henry had only learned that Nick had come to Naraida that very morning. Since Nick was here, Khloe must have known long ago. She had promised him that before the truth was made clear, she would keep her distance from the Hunt family-especially from Nick. Yet, she hadn't told him about this at all.

Naturally, Henry believed the two of them had already met. He didn't care about anything else. What he cared about now was Khloe's attitude-whether she would break her promise and betray the Morrison family for Nick
