Billionaire's Match (Khloe and Nick Hunt) novel Chapter 1058

Besides, it would only put more pressure on Khloe.

Khloe's heart was a tangled mess of emotions, but faced with Nick forcing a smile, she could only pretend not to notice.

"That's better. Don't be so clingy," she said lightly, her tone bright and easy. "The Nick I know has always been perfect. And he knows how to hold himself back."

With that, she stood up and returned to the bedroom before he could respond.

Not long after, the Hunt family arrived.

Khloe directed the servants and housekeeper to settle everything, then accompanied Loretta to chat.

Seeing that Nick seemed a little downcast, Arista stayed by his side the whole time.

There had always been a barrier between George and Nick. In situations like this, Khloe rarely left Nick alone with him.

But now, George seemed different from before—much gentler toward his son. Even so, after exchanging a few words of concern, an awkward silence still settled in.

With nothing else to talk about, George accidentally brought up company matters.

Nick answered smoothly, and before long, father and son fell into an easy back-and-forth, their conversation unexpectedly harmonious.

But Arista couldn't bear to listen any longer. She cleared her throat, and George immediately caught on.

"Oh—look at me. Company matters aren't urgent right now. What you need to do is focus on recovering. From now on, don't have Lenny report company matters to you anymore. None of that is important."

"It's fine," Nick replied casually. "When there's nothing else to do, it helps pass the time. Has Olympus made any moves recently?"

He didn't mind. Talking about work actually made him feel more at ease.

Just then, Khloe walked over.

Hearing him mention Olympus, her heart sank slightly.

"Khloe, come sit," Arista called warmly the moment she saw her.

Nick lifted his gaze toward her as well, but before he could speak, Khloe said first, "Dad, Mom, please keep Nick company. There's something at Morrison Group I need to take care of."
