Billionaire's match novel

---- Chapter 847 "| don't know..." Khloe looked confused. "Maybe a mosquito bit me?" Nick chuckled softly, pressing his face close to hers and gently brushing his cheek against her smooth skin. It wasn't a scar-it was her back dimple. Khloe's whole body shivered at his touch, and on instinct she grabbed the towel to wrap herself up. Nick's hands circled her slender waist, finally resting on her slightly rounded lower belly. "How's my baby been lately? Have you missed me?" "No." Khloe blinked, deliberately teasing him. "How could you not?" Nick smiled, his voice dropping to a tender whisper.

"Because she thinks Daddy doesn't want her... hasn't come to see her for so long." Khloe's words made his tone even softer. He pulled her closer. " That's my fault. But she must have missed me anyway. From ---- now on, every night I'll say goodnight to her. That way when she's born, she won't just pay attention to Mommy and forget about Daddy." Khloe's heart melted. The bathroom light spread softly behind Nick, casting his tall, protective silhouette in a warm glow that made her feel completely safe. "Nick... never stay away from me this long again," she murmured. "I won't...

unless I-" "No, don't say it." Khloe interrupted quickly, and he didn't argue. Their eyes met, and in his gaze there was nothing hidden-just pure, unguarded love. "Okay, okay. Go get dressed before you really catch a cold," she said, a faint ache in her nose making her turn away. Nick gently lifted her chin and turned her back toward him. "You haven't finished answering. What about you? Have you missed me?" Looking into his hopeful eyes, Khloe had no resistance left. Every word he wanted to hear, she gave willingly, sweet as honey.

"Yes." She cupped his sharply defined face and spoke with sincere earnestness. "Every day. Always. I've missed you so ---- much. So, so much." Nick's Adam's apple moved as if swallowing words left unsaid He lowered his head and kissed her-not the impatient, possessive kisses of before, but soft, gentle, reverent touches. His kisses made her feel cherished, as if the world had condensed into one perfect moment. Outside the floor-to-ceiling window, the fiery dusk clouds had slowly faded into a clear night. That night, it felt like they were trying to make up for every day they'd been apart.

The next morning, Nick woke up close to noon. Khloe had been awake for hours, but he had truly exhausted himself. Every nerve had been on high alert for days, and after seeing her, he had talked and gestured so much that he finally sank into deep, uninterrupted sleep. As he got dressed, voices drifted in from outside the bedroom When he stepped out, Khloe had already pushed the door open. "You're already awake?" Her face was bright with happiness, and she hugged him lightly. "| wanted you to sleep a little longer," she murmured. ---- Nick glanced at his watch. "It's already noon.

If | sleep any more, half the day will be gone." Khloe pouted. "Then let it be gone. We still have plenty of time." He paused, then nodded. "Yeah... you're right." Outside the bedroom were Lucas and a few doctors. Khloe had been worried about his condition and called them early to check on him. So far, the nerve damage seemed under control. As long as it didn't flare up again, there would be no serious complications. His stamina might not be what it once was, but with consistent exercise, his body would gradually regain strength For now, this was the best possible outcome.
