“What is it?”

Nick lowered his gaze, and in an instant, his expression softened back into that familiar mixture of tenderness and mischief. His long fingers traced lightly over Khloe’s face.

“You’re fine demanding interest from me, but now, you’re really going to settle accounts with Michael too?”

“Of course. Even brothers need clear accounts.” Nick said lightly, unbothered.

Khloe chuckled, and she reached over to pinch his face-though his slender features barely had an ounce of flesh to squeeze.

“Nick, we’ve only been married for a short time, and you’re already showing your true colors?”

He let her fidget with him, smiling even more indulgently. “My true colors?”

“You care more about profits than feelings! You even tally up accounts with my family. Does that mean one day you’ll do the same with me?” Khloe feigned irritation, letting out a soft hum of disapproval.

“Never.”

Nick tilted his body down, pressing her gently into his chest, leaving a trail of heavy kisses along her hairline and the side of her

face.

“Even if I wanted to settle accounts with you, I couldn’t. I’ve invested too much in this relationship-there’s no way to get it

back.”

Khloe felt her ears warm and bit her lip silently. His sweet words always left her helpless, and she loved hearing them.

Seeing her remain silent, Nick teased further. “Still mad?”

“I was joking. I treat Michael like a brother too.”

Hearing him say that, Khloe couldn’t help but laugh, breaking her composure. He seized the opportunity to pull her close.

“Why do you keep teasing me? Always bullying me?”

“Because I just want to.”

Khloe leaned in toward his lips. He parted them slightly, but before anything could happen, she nipped his nose lightly and bolted.

She couldn’t escape. Nick already had his hand around the back of her head, and in one smooth motion, he captured her lips.

Outside, the moon shone brightly. The winter night in Goldmont City stretched long and quiet.

The next morning, Barney arrived at Cloud Palace.

Khloe hadn’t wanted to see him, but Nick made the decision for her, inviting the man in without hesitation.

“If he insists on seeing you, we might as well hear what he wants.”

Nick held her hand as they walked together to the reception room.

Barney had been restless, pacing the room, and upon seeing them enter, he immediately stood.

For days, he had been anticipating this moment. He had even delayed his return to Jayelle City to prepare himself, rehearsing

over and over how to face Khloe and speak of his mother without creating awkwardness.

Yet, the moment he saw her, his words deserted him.

Khloe noticed the strange way Barney was looking at her and instinctively gripped Nick’s hand tighter.

“Barney, you came here so early. Is there something urgent?” Nick asked calmly, seating them across from Barney as though nothing unusual was happening.

Servants quickly brought tea and snacks, subtly putting a buffer between Barney and Khloe.

Still, Barney’s gaze never left her. His Adam’s apple bobbed nervously before he finally spoke.

“Yes. I… I’m heading back to Jayelle City this afternoon. Before I leave, I wanted to personally bid Khloe farewell.”
