Billionaire's match novel

---- Chapter 850 Khloe noticed Charlotte picking up extra bowls and utensils. "Put them down," she said lightly. "Maybe he'll be here soon." Nick followed her gaze and guessed who they were talking about. He'd heard from Khloe that Noah had safely returned to Goldmont. It was thanks to Noah that Khloe had managed to stay composed these past days. Nick and Noah shared a bond forged in life-or-death situations; he considered Noah a close friend. But Noah was elusive, moving like a ghost, and meeting him wasn't something Nick could arrange on a whim.

Finally, everyone gathered together for the meal. Michael suggested using soft drinks instead of alcohol to toast, raising a cup in celebration of Khloe and Nick That morning, the official announcement had already come: the country's top-level energy project would go to the Hunt Group this year. The decision was almost a foregone conclusion. Yesterday, Nick and Khloe had made a series of promises during their livestream that had sent the entire internet into a frenzy.

Everywhere online, there were fans shipping the couple, people following their careers, but most of all, countless ---- onlookers were genuinely supportive of this couple whose work genuinely benefited society. A public project for the people deserved to go to the people's choice. And Hunt Group was the only answer. "These achievements are thanks to all of you... and you too, Khloe," Nick said, clinking cups with everyone. "It's | who should thank all of you," Khloe replied with a smile. After toasting with the group, Nick raised a separate cup to make a more personal gesture.

Since he couldn't drink alcohol, he downed the health fruit-and-vegetable juice Khloe had prepared in one gulp. Seeing him drink so quickly, Khloe couldn't help but warn him, " Slow down." Michael looked at Nick with admiration. He had brought a bottle of red wine and poured himself a glass. "til join you for a toast," he said warmly. "Mr. Hunt, seeing how wholeheartedly you care for Khloe... seeing you two so happy, | truly feel glad for you both." Khloe frowned at the formal address. "Michael, why are you still calling him 'Mr. Hunt'?" Michael blinked, suddenly embarrassed.

It was true-he still had ---- a strong filter for Nick. With his aura, he was used to speaking respectfully. Nick smiled faintly and nudged him. "Agreed." "Right... then, Nick," Michael said, his cheeks coloring slightly, " may you and Khloe always remain loving and happy together." Excited, he downed the glass of red wine in one gulp. Winnie quietly poured herself half a glass and drank alongside him. Their eyes met briefly, calm and gentle, showing a quiet affection that mirrored the couple's own. Khloe leaned toward Nick and whispered something in his ear.

Nick's smile deepened, and he looked again at Michael and Winnie. "Congratulations. Happy wedding. If you don't mind, I'd like to plan your wedding. Consider it Khloe and me giving you both a gift for your marriage." Nick's words made Michael and Winnie exchange a glance, and their smiles slowly faded. Charlotte, who knew about the couple's situation, also looked slightly uneasy. Khloe noticed and asked, "What's wrong?" ---- Winnie hesitated, then spoke softly. "It's unnecessary. Thank you for the thought, but Michael and I... we've already divorced." "Divorced?" Khloe gasped.

She instinctively glanced at Nick. He furrowed his brow slightly. " Was it because of the Morrison family?" Khloe pressed further. "Because of Uncle Oscar? Did he give you trouble again?" Michael and Winnie exchanged a small, understanding smile and shook their heads. "He didn't do anything. This... this decision was ours," Michael explained. Charlotte, anxious for them, couldn't hold back and recounted the whole situation to Khloe. "At the time, Ethan was causing chaos within the Morrison Group. We were all worried... only Oscar could stop him, so..."
