Billionaire's Match (Khloe and Nick Hunt) novel Chapter 721

"Heading back to Goldmont City tomorrow?" Arista asked, surprised.

Just a few days ago, Khloe had said she wanted to stay and recover a while longer. Everyone knew the real reason she wanted to linger—Nick. She still clung to hope that he hadn't truly died.

"Yes. It's time to go back," Khloe replied calmly.

Arista glanced at George. His expression was unusually gentle, his gaze toward Khloe full of a rare, patient tenderness. He had never looked so paternal before, not even with Nick.

"Khloe, if you wanted to stay here longer, I'd stay with you. No matter how long, you don't have to force yourself. The company can manage without constant oversight. The Hunt and Morrison Groups—things will continue, with or without someone watching. Business never ends. You don't need to carry any responsibility. You only need to take care of yourself and protect your child."

Arista's voice was earnest, filled with care. Her approach differed from George's. She wanted Khloe to recover, but she didn't want to burden her with heavy responsibilities. Whatever duty or responsibility, she only cared that her daughter-in-law stayed safe and well.

Khloe's eyes warmed with emotion. She smiled, looping her arms around Arista.

"Mom, thank you for everything these past few days. I'm fine. I won't push myself. You don't need to worry about me."

Arista was about to speak, but Khloe added, "I've already arranged the trip with Dad. I have a few things to handle today, so I won't keep you."

Once Khloe left, Arista lightly tapped George's arm.

"Are you trying to drive me crazy? You still owe Nick in this life, and you haven't paid that debt!"

At the mention of Nick, Arista's eyes grew moist again. George's own grief was plain on his face. He silently accepted her scolding, knowing he couldn't forgive himself otherwise.

"I haven't paid it yet, that's true. But I know it's not safe here… Those people haven't been caught. They're ruthless. Wouldn't they strike Khloe again? Only by returning to Goldmont City can she truly be safe."
