Chapter 416
Nick seemed deaf to Khloe’s attempts to stop him.
This was the first time he had completely ignored her feelings.
Khloe suddenly remembered the question he had asked her before: If he deceived her, what would she do?
“So…?” she asked quietly, no longer resisting. Her voice was calm, betraying no emotion-like the eerie stillness before a storm.
“So…” Nick paused. His voice had lost its usual warmth; it was cold, distant, almost like another person speaking. “So… if you regret this now, we can stop. End it here.”
His eyes flicked toward her, surveying her quietly.
Khloe lowered her gaze, the injured hand trembling slightly.
Nick dared not dwell on what might have happened-if he hadn’t come to, would Khloe even be sitting here in one piece? For a brief time, he had lived in a fragile happiness, clinging to a dangerous hope. But now, it seemed the dream was ending.
No matter how much he wanted to hold on, he could not.
All because of his own selfish desires and greed… he had truly hurt her.
Michelle had been right-he was just barely holding himself together.
“What did you say?” Khloe’s head shot up, their eyes locking.
Nick quickly looked away, voice rough and labored. “I’ve made it clear. I don’t need you to make sacrifices. I’m giving you a chance to leave.”
“Sacrifices?” The words cut through her chest.
Though she was shocked-seeing Nick like this was not something she could process in an instant-she still wanted to comfort him.
And yet, in one sentence, all the warmth and care he had shown her over these days… seemed to be denied.
Could it be that the tenderness, the small acts of love he had offered her, were just as easily withdrawn as they had been given?
Was he going to treat her the way he treated Michelle?
In that moment, Khloe couldn’t help but wonder if he only wanted someone to fill a void, someone to maintain his sense of security.
“I don’t want to put you in a difficult position,” Nick said softly.
Suddenly, Khloe had no words.
The two of them sat in the living room, silence stretching on. After a long while, Khloe finally rose and extended her hand.

Nick hesitated, surprised.
She murmured, “The floor is cold. We don’t want you catching a chill.”
He didn’t take her hand. He got up on his own.
Khloe said nothing further and moved toward the dining table to tidy it.
Nick stopped her. “Let the maid do it tomorrow. Your hand-”
He didn’t finish, and Khloe turned back toward the bedroom.
A sudden emptiness gripped his chest. For the first time, tears threatened to fall.
Every day since being with Khloe, he had believed in their happily-ever-after. And yet, in an instant… all that joy turned to ash.
That night, Khloe barely slept. Nick didn’t return to the bedroom. In the middle of the night, she heard a door
close.
Much later, she got up and turned on the light. Nick was gone.
It was three in the morning.
She considered calling Arista but hesitated, not wanting to disturb anyone. Finally, she sent a message to Lenny.
If Nick left, Lenny must have come to pick him up.
Lenny quickly replied: [Mr. Hunt isn’t feeling well and didn’t want to disturb you, so he returned to the Hunt family estate.]
The “isn’t feeling well” was actually Lenny’s addition, but it unsettled Khloe nonetheless.
She asked questions for a long time. Lenny said the doctor had given him an injection, and now Nick was asleep.
Lenny rubbed his forehead, feeling a dull ache-not from staying up and working late, but because…
