Billionaire's Match (Khloe and Nick Hunt) novel Chapter 943

Chapter 943

“Which guy from your university?”

Hearing Estelle had tried to set Michelle up only made Mrs. Keller more excited. She tugged Michelle to sit beside her and started asking questions in detail.

Michelle sighed inwardly. There was no avoiding it-she had to mention Edward.

Mrs. Keller’s expression shifted as she recalled. “Oh, him… I think you liked him back in the day? How’s his family? And his

career now…”

“Mom, he’s a player. I don’t like him.”

To prevent any further trouble, Michelle blurted it out bluntly. 1

The moment Mrs. Keller heard this, her tone changed instantly. “No way! You have every right to be angry if a friend introduces someone like that to you.”

She patted her daughter’s hand reassuringly, a small, knowing smile tugging at her lips. “Besides, you and Ralph are doing well, aren’t you? I think he suits you in every way. You…”

“Ugh! I told you, Ralph and I aren’t compatible! We’re just friends! How many times do I have to say it?”

Just the mention of Ralph made Michelle forget her current predicament, and irritation flared on the spot. She didn’t give her mother another chance to continue. Seizing the moment, she issued a polite but firm dismissal.

“I’m done talking. I’m too tired to stay up. You should go.”

Mrs. Keller stood, half-protesting, half-complying. But as she passed the bathroom, she suddenly stopped.

“I just need to use the restroom first.”

Michelle remembered Lenny’s clothes were still in there, and the floor was a mess. Panic flared, and she quickly stepped in front of her mother.

“I just showered. The floor’s slippery and messy. Your room is right next door-go there instead.”

“Seriously… I can’t even use the bathroom?” Mrs. Keller frowned, trying to push past her.

“Mom!”

Michelle’s heart shot into her throat. She had to feign irritation. “Can you not make a fuss? I just threw up in there earlier. It’s a mess-I don’t want you seeing it.”

Mrs. Keller froze, startled by her daughter’s intense reaction.

“Michelle, did you drink? Are you feeling unwell?”

“I’m fine now. I just want to rest.”

Seeing her daughter so flushed and flustered, Mrs. Keller’s suspicions softened.

“Alright, alright. I’m leaving. I’ll go now.”

She turned to leave, but then paused as she heard noises from inside the room. She glanced back and noticed the bedroom door slightly ajar.

Michelle had rushed out earlier and hadn’t even turned on the light.

“Michelle, is someone else in your room?”

“Of course not.”

“But I just heard sounds… you’re not hiding someone in there, are you?”

Michelle’s face went pale at being caught, but she quickly turned the accusation around.

“Mom, don’t jump to conclusions. Who could possibly be in my room? Why are you being so paranoid tonight? Are you trying to pick a fight with me when I’m already in a bad mood?”

Mrs. Keller studied her daughter and began to think she might have overreacted.

“Alright, alright. I’m sorry for disturbing you. I was just worried.”

With a resigned wave, she finally left, not wanting to upset her daughter further.
