Chapter 873
Nick gently brushed the tip of Khloe’s nose.
“Of course we’ll invite him.” Khloe smiled against his chest. “If we don’t invite him, how will he know just how much you love me?”
Nick held her tighter, a surge of jealousy twisting in his chest. Yet, as long as Khloe was in his arms, it softened into something almost tender, like silk wrapped around his heart.
“When the time comes, if he dares to look at you…” (1)
“Hm?”
Khloe looped her arms around his neck, fingers threading through the short hair at his nape, curious for him to continue.
“I’ll make sure someone plucks his eyes out,” he said flatly. “At my wedding, my bride will see only me.”
Rarely had Nick spoken with such ruthless intensity. His tone, calm as ever, sent a shiver down the spine. Even Lenny, standing nearby, felt goosebumps rise along his arms. Nick had changed entirely- this wasn’t the composed man everyone knew.
Khloe’s heart skipped a beat, yet there was no trace of fear. She lifted her face and kissed him.
“What’s happening? I just got here, and I’m already being showered with PDA,” a familiar voice called from behind them.
Lenny was the first to recognize the visitor. “Mr. Remington!”
The newcomer was none other than Ralph. Khloe had invited him to the wedding days ago, but she hadn’t expected him to arrive in the country so early-or without giving prior notice.
“Ralph? What brings you here?” Khloe asked, a touch of surprise in her voice, finally releasing Nick’s embrace.
Ralph smiled faintly. “What, you’re not welcoming me?”
“Of course I am! I’m delighted you’re here.”
“I came at Michael’s invitation. As one of his investors, I needed to come here for a preliminary review. And I’ve brought along a cooperation proposal with the Morrison family… I thought I’d come early and give you both a little surprise.”
He removed his gloves, his travel-worn appearance suggesting he had only just arrived. His assistant hurriedly handed over the gifts he had brought to Lenny.
After exchanging pleasantries with Khloe, Ralph turned toward Nick. “Nick, good to see you safe and well. I’m genuinely glad to hear you’re doing fine.”
Nick’s lips curved into a faint smile. “Thank you.”

“Did you come alone?”

Khloe and Nick escorted Ralph to the dining area, hoping to introduce him to more friends. But she suddenly remembered Delilah. Since returning to the country, Delilah had been checking in on her. Khloe had informed her about reuniting with Nick and invited her to the wedding. As for Henry, Khloe had hesitated to contact him, leaving that for another time.
“Yes, I’m alone,” Ralph answered before she could ask. “Henry isn’t well, so she stayed behind to take care of him. She couldn’t come.”
Ralph’s slight hint of melancholy didn’t escape Khloe’s notice.
At that moment, Michael strode in. He had known Ralph’s schedule tonight and sent the invitation, hoping to surprise Khloe.
