Billionaire's Match (Khloe and Nick Hunt) novel Chapter 944

Chapter 944

On the bedside table lay a neatly folded set of brand-new men’s clothes.

Lenny felt dizzy, his head throbbing and his eyes aching unbearably. After a long while, he managed to change and stepped out of the room.

The room was empty-Michelle was long gone.

Fragments of last night flickered through his mind-the way he had grabbed Michelle, refusing to let her leave, the kiss he had pressed upon her, and everything that had followed…

A chill ran down Lenny’s spine, leaving him unsettled to the core. What on earth had he done?

He rushed to the bathroom. The mess that had covered the floor the night before was gone. Everything was spotless, as if last night had been nothing more than a dream.

Just then, his phone vibrated. He fumbled to unlock it.

It was a message from Michelle: [Let’s pretend nothing happened last night. Forget it. I had the cleaners come, left your clothes for you, and the room will automatically check out at 2 PM.] 1

Lenny stared at the screen for a long time. His heart, which had been soaring and tumbling, now felt drenched in cold water. He had known all along that he shouldn’t have harbored any illusions. But being slapped in the face by reality still hurt.

Meanwhile, most of the guests had already departed Jayelle City. Only Khloe and Nick were taking a private flight in the evening,

as Khloe still had matters to attend to.

At noon, inside Jayelle Specialist Hospital, Barney, still severely weakened from the car accident and the harrowing kidnapping yesterday, had finally awakened. Yet his body remained fragile, and he needed to rest.

He was watching the wedding livestream replay of Khloe and Nick. Seeing the couple exchange vows, a faint smile curved his lips, but the depth of his eyes betrayed a lingering emptiness.

His assistant leaned in quietly. “Mr. Lemont, you shouldn’t watch anymore. The doctor said you need more rest. Please lie down.

”

Barney didn’t respond; his gaze remained glued to the phone.

The room’s door was knocked. Barney lifted his eyes, and the assistant gestured for the caregiver to open it.

The door swung open to reveal Angela’s parents, with Pete standing quietly behind them.

A flicker of disappointment passed over Barney’s face. The assistant immediately stepped forward. “What are you doing here? Mr. Lemont doesn’t want to see you. Please leave.”

“Mr. Lemont, we just came to see you. We wanted to apologize on Angela’s behalf,” Angela’s father said solemnly, bending slightly as he held out expensive gifts toward the assistant,

The assistant didn’t accept them. He knew very well who had caused their boss to end up like this.

“A human life is on the line here. If sorry fixed everything, we wouldn’t need the police. That’s enough. Take your gifts and get out. You’re not welcome here.”

“Please, Mr. Lemont, we just want to apologize…” Angela’s mother hurriedly spoke, and before anyone could stop her, she attempted to kneel before Barney.

Pete, standing behind his grandparents, watched the scene, and his small face crumpled as he sniffled and began to cry.
