Billionaire's Match (Khloe and Nick Hunt) novel Chapter 802

"Huh?"

Lenny didn't quite grasp what Michelle meant.

Her expression darkened. "Forget it."

She pushed open the car door, ready to get out.

"Miss Keller!" Something stirred in Lenny's chest, and he blurted out, "Of course I have something to say to you!"

"What is it?" Michelle glanced back, a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

Lenny looked utterly sincere. "I misunderstood you before and even made some unfavorable assumptions. I want to apologize for that. I hope you won't hold it against me."

Michelle's brows drew together. A dull heaviness settled in her heart.

"Is that all? Just an apology?"

"Yes."

There wasn't the slightest ripple of emotion on Lenny's face.

"As if I ever held it against you," Michelle replied curtly. With no interest in saying another word, she stepped out of the car and left.

When she returned home, her mother came out to greet her.

Seeing how exhausted her daughter looked after such a long day, she felt a pang of concern. "Everything's more or less taken care of, right?"

"Mhm." Michelle was still thinking about Lenny's expression, her mind wandering.

Taking her hand, Michelle's mom led her back to the bedroom. After closing the door, she sat beside her with a gentle smile.

"Michelle, there's something I want to ask you. Can you answer me honestly? I know you're grown now. Whatever choices you make, your father and I will respect them."

It was rare to see her mother so solemn and cautious. Michelle couldn't help feeling curious.

She nodded. "Go ahead."

"I've noticed you and Khloe get along well, and your livestreaming career can develop here in the country too. Could you… maybe not return to Felanche in the future?"

What she meant was clear: since Michelle had already moved past her heartbreak, there was no need for her to keep running off to somewhere so far away.

In truth, she and her husband had long made plans. Their daughter was no longer young, and they had already found several suitable candidates for marriage. But Michelle had once been wholly devoted to Nick.
