Billionaire's Match (Khloe and Nick Hunt) novel Chapter 872

Chapter 872

Khloe led Nick over to examine the gifts. Barney had gone all out-this was no idle gesture.

Before they could fully process it, Khloe received a message from him.

It was brief.

[Congratulations on your new home. Wishing you a lifetime of happiness. -Barney]

Nick’s gaze fell on her as she read it.

“He seems genuinely sincere,” he said, his tone calm, though Khloe caught a hint of jealousy beneath it.

“I don’t know what he’s plotting,” Khloe replied, looping her arm through Nick’s, lifting her chin proudly,” but as long as he’s trying to get at me, it won’t work.”

To her, Barney had no chance-whether for business or romance.

Yet, as far as romance went, his behavior was puzzling. Barney obviously liked Angela, didn’t he? Khloe had warned him before that Angela wasn’t exactly a good person. But even so, would he shift his affections so quickly?

“It may be useless, but if he’s coveting you…”

Nick’s hand slid around her waist, drawing her closer. He lowered his voice to a low grow! in her ear, “It still makes me uncomfortable.”

A shadow flickered in his eyes, sharp and possessive. Without a word, he snatched Khloe’s phone and held it out of reach, cutting off any chance she might have to reply.

Khloe nestled into his chest, murmuring, “That won’t do. Anyone else can be unhappy, but not my husband.”

Her gentle, teasing tone drew a restrained smile to Nick’s usually stoic face.

“Sir, Madam… about these gifts…” Lenny hesitated,

“We’ll accept them,” Nick interrupted decisively. “Since the gesture is sincere, we have no reason to refuse.”

“Keep the land for now. The rest-we don’t lack anything ourselves-let’s use it as wedding gifts for our guests, maybe for a lucky draw,” Nick added. His words sounded generous, but Khloe could detect a streak of jealousy underneath.

She pressed her hands to his waist, quietly watching the usually gentle man reveal a rare edge of sharpness.

“So many valuable items… all for a raffle? Lenny blinked. He had grown accustomed to Khloe’s instructions over time, so he instinctively looked at her for guidance. After all, the gifts were primarily meant for her.

“Do as Nick says,” Khloe replied lightly. “Oh, and don’t forget… we should send Barney a wedding invitation as well. After all, he contributed to the gifts for the celebration.”

She smiled, eyes fixed on Nick rather than Lenny.

Nick’s brows tightened, a flicker of displeasure passing through his eyes. He raised a hand and gently pressed it against her head.

“Who said we’d invite him?”

“You were being so generous just now,” Khloe teased, enjoying the rare sight of him showing even a hint of jealousy.

He was always so proper, so composed, even when jealous-always the gentleman. But she wanted to see him flustered. She wanted to see how long he could hold in that green-eyed frustration.

Nick seemed to understand her thoughts. His gaze darkened. He lifted her chin, fingers pressing lightly. He hesitated, not wanting to hurt her, and softened his touch, caressing her face gently.

“Generous? My mistake for letting you get the wrong idea,” he said with a snort.

He paused, voice dropping lower, colder. “I can be generous with anyone… except with men who try to show off in front of you.”
