Billionaire's Match (Khloe and Nick Hunt) novel Chapter 886

Chapter 886

“So… the herbal broths and tonics I’ve been having every day these past few days-was that you?” Oscar asked again.

His voice carried no emotion, yet the weight behind it pressed down on her like a heavy hand.

Winnie, however, felt no guilt. These past few nights, Michael had stayed here to care for his father, and she could offer little help. She remembered that when she was little, her mother had left behind recipes for medicinal soups and tonics.

So she had tried making a few herself and arranged for them to be delivered daily to Oscar, a small way to share in their filial duty.

What she hadn’t expected was for Oscar to know.

“Yes… that was me,” she admitted, nodding. Then she hurriedly added, “But, please don’t be upset. I wasn’t trying to interfere. Recently, Michael and I haven’t been seeing each other…”

Seeing her so cautious, Khloe and Michael exchanged a glance. Neither of them offered a word of support.

Oscar’s gaze stayed cold and assessing, showing no trace of the indulgent warmth one might expect from an elder. Winnie felt every bit the vulnerable little girl being scolded. Even as the heiress of the Olson family, she had never bowed so low before her foster parents.

Slowly, the tension eased. Michael lowered his head, and Winnie, seeing him, felt less threatened.

“I hear you passed your evaluation at Morrison Group today?”

Oscar was silent for a moment before speaking again. His question caught Winnie off guard.

She nodded, then added, “Yes.”

At just passed; she scored very high,” Khloe interjected proudly.

“Congratulations, Winnie,” Oscar said, his voice flat.

Winnie, momentarily stunned by the praise, forgot to respond.

Michael stepped closer, subtly taking her hand in his, a quiet reminder to answer.

“Thank you,” she said.

Oscar noticed the gesture but said nothing this time. Then he asked, “And what are your plans going forward?”

“Plans?” Winnie froze again. Being questioned by Oscar made her mind go blank-more disorienting than any exam.

Michael leaned close, murmuring in her ear, “He’s asking about your career plans.”

“Oh! I’d like to stay at Morrison Group for two years, and continue my studies at the same time.” 1

She spoke quickly. Though she could handle her role in R&D well, there was still much to learn. She didn’t aim to match her mother’s brilliance, but she wanted to excel in the career she was building through her own effort.

Her ambition was modest but sincere.

Oscar’s gaze softened slightly. He had thought Winnie aimless and unreliable-but seeing her now, he realized she was capable of growth, especially with Michael by her side.

His eyes flicked to Khloe, silently agreeing with her earlier counsel.

Before Winnie’s evaluation, Khloe and Nick had approached him privately. Khloe had explained that Michael and Winnie’s willingness to separate was a testament to their mutual growth. If they were together, Michael might be led astray, and they would never have made the choice to part.

Two people who could bravely choose each other, endure hardships together, and help each other grow- wasn’t that worth cherishing?

Having a good partner was easy. Finding someone who could shake you to your core, change your very

being, was rare.
