Billionaire's Match (Khloe and Nick Hunt) novel Chapter 1010

Nick smiled faintly, still holding Khloe's hand.

"Khloe, once these next couple of days of treatment are over, let's go back home."

Her eyes stung with tears. She understood what he meant and refused immediately. "No…"

What he truly wanted was to be selfish just once—to spend what remained of his life creating the most perfect memories he could. And yet, even that single moment of selfishness, he had given up for her.

"As long as I'm with you, whatever we do is enough."

Khloe shook her head. "Nick, why do you always make this so hard for me…"

He didn't answer. He only pulled her closer into his arms.

After a moment, he added, "I've already had someone look into Olympus. Since they're based in Yustonia, it won't be easy to uncover anything domestically. You don't need to worry. Even if the sky falls, as long as I'm here, I won't let anyone hurt you."

Suddenly, Khloe was reminded of that time in Naraida, when Nick had risked his life to save hers.

Unless he died, he would never fail to keep his promise to her. With a husband like this, what more could she possibly ask for?

Lowering her head, Khloe buried her face deep into the crook of his neck, kissing him again and again.

If that was the case, then this time—no matter the cost—she would make sure he lived.

…

On the other side, when Winnie returned home and switched on the lights, she immediately noticed a pair of shoes by the entryway.

She looked up, and sure enough, Michael was coming down the stairs.

"Michael… why are you back? Weren't you supposed to—"

Their eyes met from a distance. Without answering, Michael walked straight over to the living room sofa. His suit jacket was casually draped over the armrest, his tie loosened, and his shirt sleeves rolled up to his forearms. It looked like he had only just returned.

"Come here," Michael said.

Winnie responded softly and changed her shoes before walking over. She continued asking why he had suddenly come back.

Michael studied her carefully for a moment before replying calmly, "I finished handling things, so I came back early."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"Because you didn't answer your phone."

His words made her freeze. She quickly pulled out her phone.

Sure enough, there were several delayed messages—all from Michael.
