Billionaire's match novel

---- Chapter 645 Khloe couldn't understand how Nick could, in his current situation, still have time to worry about anyone else. Nick was slightly unhappy by Khloe's remark and cleared his throat twice. Khloe immediately turned, placing a hand over his chest. "Are you feeling unwell?" "No." Nick tumed his face away, his voice carrying a faint chill His mood was easy to read, and Khloe instantly knew he was being sensitive again. "You're perfect in almost every way, but you're far too petty," she teased gently, pinching his cheek with a coaxing smile.

"I already told you-welll go for a full checkup once all this is over. You get checked, | get checked. No hiding anything from each other. Deal?" Only then did Nick turn his head fully, his gaze heavy as he looked at her. "Do you promise?" "| promise." Khloe held up three fingers. "| swear it in my father's name." Mentioning Niel caused the atmosphere between them to stiffen ---- for a brief moment. Nick held her hand, their fingers interlaced. "Good. Once this is all over and the wedding is done, we'll go to Swinterland. The medical conditions there are excellent...

and the environment is peaceful, perfect for-" He hesitated, leaving the last words unsaid. Perfect for recuperation. And perfect for Khloe to be by his side all the time. Realizing this, Nick suddenly became aware of how plainly his possessiveness and selfishness had been revealed. But Khloe laughed lightly. "Perfect for our honeymoon." Nick pressed his lips together, hiding the smile deep in his eyes, not wanting it to show too clearly. The car cut through the night toward the airport. They were going to pick up Arista. Nick understood George well.

Using the company as leverage wouldn't intimidate him-in fact, it would only provoke him. In the end, it was Arista who intervened, She cared deeply about the children. Although she had been at odds with George, she stepped aside decisively for Nick and Khloe. She had first coordinated by phone with them, making ---- George clarify the events from back then. Yet, many details still needed to be addressed in person, which was why she insisted on coming herself. George had planned to accompany her, but Arista felt it wasn't appropriate given Khloe's position, so she came alone.

Nick also sent Lenny on a private jet to bring Arista. As soon as Arista emerged from the airport's special terminal, she saw Nick linking arms with Khloe. Seeing Khloe, Arista's eyes immediately welled with tears. "Why have you come to pick me up? It's so late, and it's cold- don't catch a chill." Arista opened her arms and embraced Khloe tightly. She truly cared for her. After everything Khloe had gone through, to still be troubled by the Morrison family and dragged down by George-it touched her deeply.

Though Nick had also faced his own struggles, Khloe had stood unwaveringly by his side, and as a mother, Arista was moved beyond words. "You must be tired from the trip," Khloe said, feeling the warmth ---- of Arista's care, her nose tinged with emotion. Even if her own mother were still alive, she doubted she would have been as openly affectionate. Outside, the cold reminded them to hurry. Nick gave Lenny a subtle signal and quickly helped them into the car. Arista also brought a message from Loretta.

Loretta didn't know the full severity of the situation but could sense that Khloe and Nick had been through something serious. She had wanted to come herself, but she was old, and she couldn't leave Leon alone. So the elderly couple had left strict instructions for Arista: tell Nick and Khloe they were waiting for them to come home and hold the wedding. * Hearing this, Khloe couldn't hold back her tears. Seeing her cry, Arista hurtiedly pressed a handkerchief to her face, gently comforting her.
