Billionaire's Match (Khloe and Nick Hunt) novel Chapter 939

Chapter 939

Lenny hadn’t even reached the gate of the complex when his legs gave out, and he could barely stand.

Leaning against a streetlamp, he fumbled with his phone and called Michelle again. This time, the line connected.

“Where are you?” Michelle’s voice came through, sharp with worry.

“I… I’m at the complex gate…” Lenny hesitated for a moment before adding, “Miss Keller… did you go back already?”

“Don’t move. I’ll come find you.”

“Miss Keller…”

Before he could finish, the call ended.

“Lenny!”

Footsteps pounded the pavement, and Michelle appeared beside him in an instant.

Lenny looked up, stunned. His thoughts were sluggish, still fuzzy from the alcohol, and before he could react, Michelle had grabbed his arm and half-lifted him up, supporting most of his weight.

“Miss Keller… what are you doing here? Didn’t Mr. Baxter drive you back?”

“Don’t talk about that now! How much did you drink? Are you trying to kill yourself?!”

Michelle half-dragged, half-carried him toward the gate. As they pressed together, the strong scent of alcohol on him made her want to scream in frustration. 1

A cab was already waiting outside.

Michelle heaved with all her strength, sliding Lenny into the back seat before climbing in herself and giving the hotel address to

the driver.

Good thing she hadn’t left earlier. Otherwise… with Lenny in this state, he would’ve ended up in a miserable place.

Earlier, she had planned to take a cab back on her own, but Edward had quickly caught up and insisted on driving her.

The two had paused in a tense standoff within the complex before Edward suddenly confessed his intentions: he wanted to pursue Michelle again. Even if she wasn’t ready for a relationship, he hoped she would at least give him a chance.

Michelle had been shocked and momentarily speechless.

But Edward, misreading her hesitation as coyness, had tried to pull her close. He leaned in, attempting to kiss her.

In that instant, Michelle’s mind flashed back to the balcony with Lenny.

She shoved Edward away and firmly rejected him.
