Read Billionaire’s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 465 – —- Chapter 465 [Trey’s grandmother has passed away] The message came from an unfamiliar number, but from the tone alone, Khloe knew exactly who had sent it. Lauren had long suffered from heart problems. The doctors had repeatedly warned that she needed rest and absolute emotional stability. Her death… really had been triggered by seeing Khloe yesterday. Khloe was lost in thought when Nick woke up. Seeing her staring blankly at her phone, he instinctively pulled her closer into his arms and leaned over to look as well.
“What are you looking at?” The faint crease between her brows did not escape him. Nick shifted closer and reached for her phone. “Trey’s grandmother died,” Khloe said. Her voice was calm, betraying no obvious emotion, yet Nick could clearly sense the hidden ripple beneath that composure. He did not speak at once. Instead, he drew her deeper into his embrace, using his warmth to wrap around her slightly cool body —- He knew her well. Khloe looked strong and decisive on the surface, but her heart was soft. She was deeply sentimental by nature.
Even if someone had hurt her terribly, hearing that a life had ended-indirectly because of her-would only weigh heavily on her. The more she was like this, the more his heart ached for her. He did not care at all about the fate of the Fox family, but he could not bear for Khloe to feel even a trace of discomfort. “Khloe, don’t overthink it. This isn’t your fault.” Nick set her phone aside, lifted a hand to stroke behind her ear, and gently pressed a kiss to her forehead “L really didn’t expect her to…” Khloe had been alittle worried yesterday.
Still, she had clung to a sliver of hope, believing Lauren would not collapse because of her. Her grudges with the Fox family were already over. No matter how infuriating Trey’s grandmother had been, Khloe had never wished for her death. She could not quite describe how she felt now. Upon hearing the news, she could not help but blame herself. —- In truth, Trey’s grandmother-like the rest of the Fox family-was not someone worthy of her pity. Yet as a woman, Khloe still mourned her misfortune. Lauren had lived her entire life for the Fox family.
She had been born into a good background and was capable in her own right, yet she had grown accustomed to standing beside Trey’s grandfather, strictly fulfilling the role of a wife… until, in the end, she became nothing more than a tool of the Fox family, an accessory to the men. Her extreme selfishness had all been for her husband, Arthur, her son, and her grandson, Trey. She had no self left of her own. In the beginning, when Khloe first entered the Fox household, she could sense that the old lady truly appreciated her and wanted to support and protect her.
That faint kindness might not have been calculation at all, but instinct. Because Khloe was, by nature, different from the other women in the Fox family. And it was precisely because of that difference that their endings were doomed. —- “| know. Khloe, this was just an accident.” Nick’s fingertips brushed lightly over the center of her brow, pressing gently, as if trying to smooth away the unease in her heart. Khloe looked at him, then slowly leaned against his shoulder. Nick did not say much, but as long as she could hear his voice, all the tangled thoughts in her mind seemed to vanish.
So this was what it felt like-no longer having an empty back. Nick could feel her relax like a small cat, completely letting down her guard and entrusting her softest side to him. He cherished that trust, handling her with care-stroking her head as if soothing a child, while continuing to place gentle kisses on her face After a long while, Nick finally spoke again, his voice low, steady, and tender, as though he were giving her heart a quiet massage.
