But the thought passed as quickly as it came. Khloe glanced at Arista and Loretta, laughing and chatting warmly with the guests, and a wave of warmth filled her chest.

“What are you thinking about?”

Nick noticed her daydreaming and quietly walked over to her side.

The dinner had a casual, barbecue-and-campfire vibe, with a wide variety of food. Arista was busy directing the servants to lay out dishes across the garden.

Guests arrived gradually, signing their names on the large blessing screen by the lake at the center of the courtyard. Under the starry sky, every figure seemed touched by romance.

Khloe sat on a swing at the edge of the garden, smiling faintly. She reached back and gently took hold of the arm behind her.

“Thinking about you.”

“Really? Only been two minutes, and you’re already missing me?”

Nick let out a soft hum, moving around to sit beside her. He pulled a chair close and handed her a cup of warm tea. The kitchen hadn’t finished preparing her drink earlier, so he had made sure to get a fresh one for her first.

“Yes… don’t even say two minutes. Just one minute apart, and I already miss you.”

Khloe’s lips curved like honey as she took the cup. Her hands lingered on his strong, knuckled fingers, teasing him deliberately.

Nick, used to her playful antics, suddenly leaned closer, lips brushing hers.

“Then, if that’s how you feel, I’ll have to satisfy your longing right now.”

“N-Nick!”

Khloe’s cheeks flamed red, and she hurriedly reminded him that people were around. But Nick ignored her. Before she could finish, his lips pressed fully against hers, his tongue boldly seeking entry.

“Sir! Madamn!”

At that moment, a familiar voice rang out.

Khloe startled, dropping her cup. The hot tea spilled across the ground.

Lenny froze, realizing he had walked right into another dramatic scene. He tried to retreat, but Nick’s calm, commanding voice stopped him.

“Stand there.”

Nick released Khloe and straightened his slightly rumpled clothes. His composure was calm, but there was a subtle tension beneath it. “So flustered… what’s going on?”

Khloe’s cheeks were still pink, and she instinctively touched the corner of her mouth, glancing aside. Lenny gulped and cautiously returned, eyes lowered.

“Sir… Madam… someone sent a congratulatory gift outside. It’s… from Solara Energy’s side.”

Both Khloe and Nick froze.

Barney?

“What kind of gift?” Nick asked, voice neutral.

“Quite a lot… they’re still at the gatehouse, being counted and recorded,” Lenny said, pausing before adding, “The gift list is here. They said it’s for both of you-housewarming and wedding congratulations. They hoped you would accept it. I wanted to notify you first, but they left immediately after dropping everything off.”

Lenny held out a thick, embossed gift list with both hands.
