Within moments, she had won over the entire table of elders.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The dinner was filled with laughter and warmth. Khloe, eager to show her respect, toasted each elder with heartfelt attention, drinking enough to make herself feel slightly lightheaded.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKhloe, I didn\u2019t expect you to hold your liquor so well\u2026\u201d Arista said happily. Rarely did someone accompany her family for drinks-especially a future daughter-in-law. She beamed, her approval of Khloe evident in her eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Loretta, however, looked a little concerned. \u201cKhloe, that\u2019s enough. If you drink too much, you\u2019ll get uncomfortable.\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m fine, Grandma\u2026\u201d Khloe smiled. She had drunk a bit, but she wasn\u2019t drunk, and tonight her spirits were high, her smile frequent and bright.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Her phone suddenly buzzed. Squinting, Khloe saw it was Nick calling.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She answered immediately. \u201cNick, you\u2019re finally done with work?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Her voice carried an unusual excitement, warmer and more intimate than usual.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nick instantly noticed the subtle difference. \u201cHave you been drinking?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes,\u201d she admitted. \u201cI\u2019ve been having a great time with Arista\u2019s family and Loretta. I drank just a little\u2026 It would have been perfect if you were here. The dinner was so good\u2026 I really wanted to eat with you\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Her words came softly, unfiltered and almost dreamlike in their honesty-she was relaxed, slightly dizzy, and speaking without thinking.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKhloe,\u201d Nick\u2019s voice darkened, low and heavy, as though holding back a tide of emotion. After a pause, he said, It\u2019s noisy there. Step outside and take the call.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOkay, I\u2019ll be right there.\u201d Khloe glanced at the elders, who were chatting happily. She carefully got up, signaling a brief nod to Arista and Loretta, and hurried out of the VIP room.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNick, I\u2019m out\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She stumbled a little as she walked down the hall. Just as she raised her voice, her eyes fell on a familiar figure standing at the far end, backlit by the corridor lights.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The figure looked strikingly like Nick.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNick? Am I seeing things? You look so much like him\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She stepped instinctively toward the figure. Then a soft, low breath-half laugh, half sigh-brushed past her ear.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019ve clearly been drinking quite a bit,\u201d Nick\u2019s voice echoed gently.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Khloe froze. Before she could fully register, the figure turned-less than a meter away-and there he was, Nick\u2019s perfectly sculpted features unmistakable.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNick!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Excited, she moved closer. Seeing her unsteady steps, Nick quickly reached out, steadying her in his arms.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKhloe\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>1\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>+25 Bonus\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>His voice was suddenly tender, and his breath brushed her lips. But before he could say more, Khloe wrapped her arins around his neck, tilting her head and gazing at him with watery eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNick\u2026 your voice\u2026 I love hearing you call me that,\u201d she whispered.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nick\u2019s chest tightened. He gently cupped her jaw, unable to resist the yearning swelling inside him. Leaning down, he pressed his lips to hers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>At that moment, a VIP room door opened nearby. Trey stepped out, covering his mouth, hurrying along.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He had already drunk to his limit and had meant to head to the restroom-but had taken the wrong direction. At the corridor\u2019s end, he froze.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Before him, two people were locked in a kiss. The woman\u2019s silhouette was graceful, achingly familiar\u2026 Khloe?!\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Billionaire\u2019s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 131 Advertisement Read Billionaire&#039;s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 131 \u2013 Love [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[78],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26648","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-the-billionaires-checkmate-novel"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26648","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26648"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26648\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26648"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26648"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26648"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
