Billionaire's match novel

Chapter 870 The bidding with Solara Energy had finally come to an end, and now Barney was reaching out to her. Could he possibly be. looking to cause trouble? "Khloe... I-F'II be leaving Goldmont City in a few days. | don't know if you have time these next couple of days... or even today. I'd like to invite you to have a meal with me," Barney's voice was gentle, tinged with hesitance, almost timid. It carried an unexpected air of humility and sincerity. Khloe was momentarily taken aback. Nick, standing beside her, had heard him too, his eyes reflecting a flicker of complex emotion.

"Barney, | don't think we need to have a meal together," Khloe replied cautiously. "Khloe, | know what | did in the bidding wasn't entirely aboveboard. You may not want anything further to do with me or Solara Energy, but speaking for myself personally, | sincerely want to apologize." Barney's words didn't feel like empty pleasantries. But surely Solara Energy was still busy-he wouldn't have taken the time just to reflect on himself with her, would he? Khloe blinked, a faint smile tugging at her lips.

"Bamey, that's very kind, but it's unnecessary." "Khloe, | still hope to see you before | leave. There are things | want to say to you." Seeing her about to hang up, Barney's tone grew slightly urgent. "You can say it now." 1..* His words faltered, as if something unspeakable weighed on him Khloe's patience ran thin. "| have things to do. Since you have nothing to say, I'll get back to my work." She hung up without another word. Looking at Nick, she murmured, "What's going on with Barney?

We've already torn things apart-why would he still want to reconcile?" "This is business instinct," Nick replied thoughtfully. "He's trying not to antagonize the Hunt Group or Morrison Group. He hasn't given up on developing Solara Energy in Goldmont City." Khloe frowned. "He's adaptable to an extreme degree." "Not necessarily spineless," Nick said. "Maybe he really does He clenched her hand tightly. "But anyone who makes you unhappy-don't bother with them." Khloe nodded, a faint smile lifting her lips, and let Barney's call slip from her mind.

They had far too much to focus on lately: preparing for the wedding, moving to a new home. Since returning to Khloe's side, Nick's health had improved considerably. Doctors confirmed that his current medication was stabilizing his condition; if it stayed consistent, there shouldn't be major issues for the next few years. Khloe had also coordinated with Swinterland. Once matters were settled, she would accompany Nick to pursue additional treatments, nurture the pregnancy, and prepare for the baby. Arista and Loretta would join them as well.

Two days later, Khloe and Nick officially moved into Cloud Palace. To celebrate, Arista arranged a family party in the courtyard, inviting many guests. Besides members of the Hunt and Morrison families, they also welcomed friends of Nick and Khloe. However, among the Morrison family, only a few senior Morrison Group executives and close relatives attended. Oscar was recovering and couldn't entertain guests; only Michael came briefly to present a gift. Even Ethan, who normally loved to show off in public, stayed indoors, quietly nursing his injury.

Although Khloe had many friends-including Charlotte, Winnie, Michelle, and other members of the Keller family-she still felt a tinge of loneliness at the lively gathering. Seeing Michelle surrounded by her family, Khloe couldn't help but think how nice it would be if she had her own family around too. big sale: 100 bonus free fou you
