“Whether we’re suited for each other is something we’ll only know after we spend time together.”
Ethan said it deliberately, just to provoke Khloe.
These past few days, he really had taken an interest in Charlotte. He enjoyed teasing her and found himself wanting to do it every day.
That said, he never intended to pursue anything serious with her.
Still, it seemed Charlotte might have been captivated by him. Otherwise, why would Khloe get so angry after just a brief conversation with her and call to issue a warning?
If Khloe wanted them to keep their distance, all she had to do was tell Charlotte to cut him off completely. Wasn’t that enough?
The thought amused Ethan, and the corner of his mouth lifted unconsciously.
“You can try,” Khloe said coolly. “And I can also make sure you’re completely kicked out of the Morrison Group.”
With that, she hung up without giving him any chance to twist her words or fan the flames.
She knew Ethan was driven by benefits above all else. No matter how interested he was in Charlotte, he would still be wary of her warning.
Carrying a trace of irritation, Khloe headed home.
As she stepped out of the elevator, she took several deep breaths and forced a smile onto her face.
Ethan really was a bastard.
The moment she opened the door, Loretta burst out first and wrapped her in a soft, enthusiastic hug. “Oh my! Khloe, you’re back!”
It had only been a few days, yet Loretta acted as if they hadn’t seen each other in years. She hugged Khloe tightly and even planted a couple of kisses on her.
Her face was glowing. She was clearly very happy.
Arista also came to the doorway, smiling warmly at Khloe, “Work must’ve been exhausting, huh? I just made several kinds of wellness tea. Your timing’s perfect-come have a taste.”
“Sure!”
Seeing Arista and Grandma, the last bit of Khloe’s displeasure vanished instantly.
Only a home with family was truly a home. And at that moment, Khloe felt it deeply. The moment she opened the door, she was greeted by tenderness and warmth. No matter what storms raged outside, none of them could touch her here.
Nick and Leon were inside. Leon loved talking about military affairs, and only Nick ever had the patience to keep him company.

The instant Nick heard Khloe was back, he couldn’t sit still. He immediately came out from the guest room.
Seeing her holding the wellness tea Arista had just brewed-she’d only taken a small sip-he leaned in close.” Welcome back.”
“Mm.”
Usually, when it was just the two of them, a single glance was enough to spark intimacy. But with so many people around, Nick still gazed at her intently without blinking, making Khloe feel a little shy.
“Tired today?” Nick asked, oblivious to her embarrassment, reaching out without a care to brush her hair aside.
“Not at all.” Khloe shook her head.
Nick said nothing, but everyone could see it-his longing gaze almost seemed ready to swallow her whole.
If Khloe hadn’t instinctively pressed her lips together, and if he’d leaned in just a bit more, it would’ve looked like he was about to steal a kiss.
“This tea is really good. Want some?”
Khloe quickly raised the small teacup to Nick’s lips.
The pale blue liquid lightly brushed the corner of his mouth. A sweet fragrance spread.
“Oh, it’s a bit sweet. You probably wouldn’t like it.”
Just as Nick lowered his gaze, about to take a sip, Khloe deliberately moved the cup away.
“I like it,” Nick said, catching her hand. He took a sip as he spoke.
The blue liquid rippled as he guided her hand, drinking every last drop from the cup. His throat bobbed as he swallowed slowly.
“Oh my, young people really are different. Newlyweds are just this sweet,” Arista laughed, unable to contain her smile as she leaned toward Loretta and whispered.
Loretta replied smugly, “Of course.”
Back in her day, the sweetest couple in the Hunt family had been her and Leon. Now, she officially declared, it was her grandson and granddaughter-in-law.
Nick’s dependence on Khloe wasn’t just obvious to outsiders-every single person in the Hunt family could see it.
