Billionaire's Match (Khloe and Nick Hunt) novel Chapter 794

After Lenny spoke, he suddenly realized he might have said too much.

When Michelle shot him a surprised look, he quickly lowered his head. "I… I'm sorry. I'm just an outsider—I really shouldn't say anything. It's just… I envy you. You actually care so much about your parents."

Khloe was a little taken aback. She hadn't known Lenny's situation. But hearing him say that, she remembered something Nick had once mentioned: that he relied on Lenny so much wasn't just habit—it was also Lenny's own need.

Lenny usually spent a lot of time alone. Whenever work slowed down, he would get restless, unsure what to do with himself. So Nick had gradually handed over multiple assistants' duties to Lenny, leaving him with all the responsibilities.

Michelle stared at him for a moment, stunned, before forcing out a voice. "You… what are you apologizing for? I never said you couldn't speak your mind. Well, alright then… I won't hold it against you. I'm not unreasonable, so don't look so grim about it."

Hearing Michelle step back, Lenny's eyes immediately lit up. "I knew you were just venting—you'd still put the bigger picture first!"

"Of course…" Michelle looked away. She didn't know why, but being praised by Lenny made her ears warm.

Khloe's gaze flicked between Charlotte and Noah. The three of them exchanged a knowing look. The atmosphere between these two… wasn't normal.

Lenny seemed completely oblivious. He stared straight at Michelle, a sincere smile on his face. But the faint blush coloring Michelle's cheeks didn't escape anyone's notice.

Noticing everyone silently watching her, Michelle quickly added, "I've taken all your advice to heart. I just… process my emotions slowly, that's all…"

"Yes, we understand, Michelle," Noah said softly, but there was a teasing undertone in his voice. Charlotte couldn't help but glance at him.

With Michelle now calmed, Khloe wasted no time. She and Lenny accompanied Michelle back to the Shu residence.
