Billionaire's Match (Khloe and Nick Hunt) novel Chapter 1049

Noah's words only made Charlotte feel even more guilty, but at the same time, a new sense of resolve began to form in her heart.

She immediately picked up her plate and followed him into the kitchen.

From yesterday until today, Charlotte had barely eaten anything. Now, with a proper hot meal in front of her—delicious and comforting—not only did her body feel satisfied, but her tightly coiled nerves also finally loosened.

"Thank you. It's really good," she said sincerely.

"It's me who should thank you," Noah replied softly as he picked more food onto her plate. "You've given me the feeling of home, and let me understand how happy and fortunate it is to be with someone you love."

Charlotte was genuinely hungry and ate quickly.

Only after a while did she notice that Noah—who usually had such a big appetite—was eating unusually slowly, his movements refined, almost like a different person.

"Why aren't you eating?" she asked.

"I had some snacks before you came back," he answered lightly.

Charlotte didn't think much of it at first, but as she continued eating, she kept glancing at him, as if she had something on her mind.

Noah seemed to sense it. Before she could even ask, he spoke first.

"The operatives from Lacuna probably aren't in Goldmont City anymore. They may have hired another independent mercenary. That person is likely already gone, but I've found some traces. It's only a matter of time before I track him down."

This was extremely good news.

Charlotte's eyes lit up. "Really? That's great! We should tell Khloe right away."

She reached for her phone.

"That person doesn't need Khloe or the others to handle him. I'll take care of it myself," Noah said, looking straight into her eyes.

His expression remained calm, his tone unchanged—but an unfathomable chill suddenly rose from him. Charlotte could feel it clearly: that was lethal intent.

"The conflict with Lacuna has involved Khloe and the others too deeply. The cleanup shouldn't be your responsibility anymore."

"But even so… they've already targeted Khloe. Otherwise, why would Michael be their target this time?"
