Chapter 97\u00a0<\/p>\n
As Khloe spoke, she noticed the maid who had just been tending to Loretta sneaking glances at them from the\u00a0<\/p>\n
corner.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She shot Nick a quick look. He caught it in his peripheral vision but didn\u2019t need to turn-he already knew what it\u00a0<\/p>\n
meant.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMy family\u2019s always like this,\u201d Nick said lightly. \u201cYou\u2019ll get used to it. Next time, if it\u2019s inconvenient, you can just say no.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe shook her head. \u201cActually, I wanted to see you today. I\u2019ve secured the Morrison project, and your help played a big part in that. I really do want to thank you properly.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was nothing,\u201d Nick said softly. \u201cYou don\u2019t need to thank me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not just courtesy,\u201d she said with a small smile. \u201cI mean it. I really want to do something for you. Let me think -how should I thank you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her words trailed off, almost like she was talking to herself. Nick wasn\u2019t someone who lacked anything, and for a moment, she truly couldn\u2019t think of what would be meaningful.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThank me?\u201d Nick repeated. He hadn\u2019t expected her to say that. Yet, for some reason, the idea stirred a faint, inexplicable anticipation in him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHave you had dinner yet, Nick?\u201d she asked suddenly, her eyes brightening as she looked up at him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo,\u201d he admitted. \u201cI came back in a bit of a rush.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cPerfect,\u201d Khloe said, smiling. \u201cThen let me cook for you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She hadn\u2019t eaten yet herself, and her stomach was beginning to growl.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou cook?\u201d Nick asked, his tone holding a trace of genuine surprise. No one had ever thought to thank him with something so simple.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, maybe not as good as your chefs,\u201d she said shyly, \u201cbut\u2026 I\u2019d say I\u2019m pretty decent.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She had reason to be confident. Khloe had learned to take care of herself early on-whenever she wanted to eat something, she\u2019d figure out how to make it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Back in her university days, she had even won first place in a campus cooking competition. Everyone who had ever tried her food had ended up craving it afterward.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Earlier that evening, while chatting with Loretta, Khloe had learned more about Nick\u2019s childhood.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His mother had passed away young, and his father was always busy with work. There had been no one to care for him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Out of guilt, Loretta had taken him overseas, but only a few years later, when Nick\u2019s grandfather fell ill, she had\u00a0<\/p>\n
sent him to live with relatives.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Loretta said that was the biggest regret of her life. Nick\u2019s temperament-cold, distant-was shaped during those years. His relatives, jealous of his background, had treated him harshly. He\u2019d often gone hungry. By the time Loretta saw him again, he was little more than skin and bone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Those stories had changed how Khloe saw him. He wasn\u2019t the golden boy born with a silver spoon-he\u2019d just been another lonely child, like her.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When she was little, she used to wish for just one meal cooked by her family, even if it wasn\u2019t any good. Maybe that\u2019s why she thought of cooking for him now.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nick glanced at the clock. \u201cThe chefs have all gone home. If we want to eat, we\u2019ll have to cook ourselves. But you\u2019ve had a long day. Aren\u2019t you tired?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNot at all,\u201d Khloe said. \u201cAs long as it\u2019s nothing too complicated, I can handle it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She rolled up her sleeves, eager and a little excited-it had been a long time since she\u2019d cooked for someone else.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nick\u2019s villa was large, with several dining rooms. Just off the living room was a small kitchen, used by the staff for late-night snacks. It was fully stocked-everything prepped and ready to use.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat do you like to eat?\u201d she asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnything,\u201d Nick replied. \u201cWhatever you\u2019re good at.\u00a0<\/p>\n
