Billionaire's Match (Khloe and Nick Hunt) novel Chapter 924

Chapter 924

“What wedding?”

As expected, Alicia’s words immediately caught Ariana’s attention.

Stella quickly interjected, “It’s nothing-just some of Trey’s old friends, holding a wedding.”

“Friends? They’re enemies, plain and simple.” Alicia didn’t dare say more, but she couldn’t resist sneering. After all, Trey was now far from home, untouchable in this foreign land-there was no way for anyone back home, be it the Morrison family or the Hunt family, to affect him now.

“Enemies? Trey… you actually have enemies?” Ariana’s eyes widened with concern as she looked at Trey.

Trey set down his utensils and gently took her snow-white hands in his.

“Alicia is exaggerating. They’re just people I had conflicts with in the past-not real enemies.”

His calm, warm tone made Ariana relax slightly. She nodded, and just as Alicia opened her mouth again, Trey’s sharp, warning glance stopped her. Stella discreetly kicked her under the table.

The rest of the meal proceeded relatively harmoniously. Stella and Alicia watched Trey’s expressions closely, carefully engaging Ariana in conversation. 1

Even after only a few months, the once-flamboyant young master aura around Trey had completely vanished. In its place was a deep, unfathomable darkness-brooding, cold, and reserved. Even in the warm dining hall, he exuded a subtle chill.

Even Alicia, who had always loved to cling to him, now kept her distance, speaking only with polite respect.

After the meal, the group chatted a little longer, until it grew late. Trey finally escorted Stella and Alicia

out.

Ariana had just finished her nightly call with her family when Trey returned.

They had only confirmed their relationship for half a month and were still in the honeymoon phase. During the day, Ariana was usually busy, so these few evenings together were precious. She wanted to cling to him, to be close at every possible moment.

But tonight, she noticed Trey seemed unusually low in spirits. After showering and getting into bed, he made no further moves-simply held her gently.

“Trey… did I not behave well just now, meeting your family?” Ariana whispered, her hand stroking his sharp jawline.

“Not at all. You’re beautiful, gentle, elegant, and so likable. Even if you had made mistakes, my family would still adore you.” (1)

His words flowed smoothly, soft and tender. As he spoke, he leaned in, placing a kiss on her brow

Yet, the moment his eyes closed, his mind wandered to another, more familiar face.

Once, he had lain in the same bed with Khloe. She had been naive, gentle, and shy-just like this, reaching for his hand, asking why he hadn’t touched her on their wedding night.

He no longer remembered exactly how he answered her, but he vividly remembered how his heart had raced then. That had been Khloe at her most enchanting…

And now?

Khloe must be in Nick’s arms, enjoying herself fully, far beyond the innocent girl he once knew. No longer flawless, no longer the poised beauty at his wedding. But even so, nothing could erase the sweetness of that first bloom, the first taste of passion that had captivated him completely.
