Billionaire's Match (Khloe and Nick Hunt) novel Chapter 849

Chapter 849

To celebrate Nick’s return home and to thank everyone for their efforts over the past days, Khloe had invited everyone for a casual dinner.

Nick, still recovering, didn’t join the meal. The housemaids cooked, while Khloe, Lenny, and Charlotte pitched in to help.

Nick didn’t want Khloe to overexert herself, especially since she was pregnant. But she couldn’t sit still. In such a good mood, she had to show off a little.

To avoid being constantly fussed over by Nick, Nick had asked Lucas to keep Nick company. But Lucas was notoriously talkative and boisterous. Even if Nick was alone, he didn’t want Lucas hovering.

“Movie?” Nick suggested with a hint of helplessness, opening the projector.

Lucas had been planning to ask Nick for investment advice-what projects he should focus on in Goldmont-but this sudden interruption left him momentarily dumbfounded.

“You’re watching a movie?”

“What? I can’t watch a movie?” Nick ignored his gaze, flipping through options, and casually selected a horror film.

Lucas blinked. “No, I don’t want to watch a movie. I want to-”

“Watch first,” Nick interrupted. “After this film, your question will naturally have an answer.” Seeing Nick speak so earnestly, Lucas was skeptical but had no choice but to go along.

The film began, and the eerie atmosphere immediately made Lucas shiver. He focused intently, though he still couldn’t see how it related to investments-but the suspense had him hooked.

Meanwhile, Nick’s gaze quietly drifted toward the kitchen. Laughter and chatter from Khloe, Charlotte, and Lenny drifted through the space.

Just listening to those sounds brought him a deep sense of peace and satisfaction.

“Shh-!”

Suddenly, a jump scare made Lucas gasp, his brow furrowing into a knot. He hated horror films -startling him every few seconds.

Catching his reaction, Nick glanced over. Lucas straightened instinctively, picked up the water in front of him, and took a careful sip of the now lukewarm drink.

Nick’s lips curved into the slightest of smiles.

As the film reached its climax, the truth revealed Lucas slapped his thigh in astonishment.

“So that’s it! I knew it-the scariest thing isn’t ghosts, it’s the human heart.”

Nick finally spoke, slow and deliberate. “And? What did you see?”

“I… definitely saw something.”

Lucas, still caught in the story, tried to force a business lesson out of it.
