Khloe had been drinking, and her flushed cheeks and sparkling eyes made her look irresistibly cute-so innocent, yet teasingly charming.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He thought back to what she had whispered against his chest in the corridor earlier, and quickly looked away, suppressing the flutter in his chest.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCome on, Nick, have a drink with me! Today Khloe has already had quite a few, and since your fianc\u00e9e has such a strong tolerance, you can\u2019t lose either!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Liam handed him a glass, his tone full of cheer.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nick hesitated. He had driven himself tonight and didn\u2019t intend to drink. But seeing Khloe by his side, he found he couldn\u2019t bring himself to refuse. He took the glass.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He planned to toast each elder in turn, but Khloe\u2019s fingers had entwined with his, holding on tightly, as if refusing to let go.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Just as he lifted the glass, her delicate fingers lightly gripped his, and her soft, slightly drunken voice murmured, \u201cLet me toast you instead. Nick just recovered from a fever-he shouldn\u2019t drink yet.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nick\u2019s lips pressed together, his heart melting at her gentle tone: Khloe, half-drunk, was blissfully relaxed, speaking and acting on instinct rather than thought.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNick just recovered from a fever? Then absolutely, no drinking! Who wouldn\u2019t worry about their fianc\u00e9e? Nick, look how well Khloe treats you-you must take good care of her!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Liam\u2019s words made Khloe blush even deeper. She realized, belatedly, that she may have overstepped by taking the initiative. After all, she was drinking on behalf of Nick\u2026 and she hadn\u2019t thought it through.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Flustered, she tried to let go of Nick\u2019s hand-but he, in turn, gently tightened his grip, holding her close at his side.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re right. I\u2019ll take good care of her,\u201d Nick said, his low voice soft and tender. He then took the glass from her hand.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSorry everyone, my fianc\u00e9e has had a little too much to drink. I\u2019ll take her back to rest,\u201d he added firmly.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShall I have my assistant escort you?\u201d Liam offered eagerly.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Loretta, watching Khloe and Nick enter together, already understood everything. She exchanged a knowing glance with Arista; as women, they shared an unspoken understanding.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Seeing Liam oblivious, Arista quickly interjected, \u201cAlright, Liam, Nick hasn\u2019t been drinking. Let him take Khloe- don\u2019t worry about it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Liam opened his mouth to protest, but Loretta immediately stood, gently ushering Nick and Khloe toward the exit. \u201cAlright, off you go.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Khloe hurriedly nodded and waved at Loretta and Arista. Nick merely nodded in thanks, a small smile tugging at his lips as he led her out swiftly..\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Seeing her struggling to keep pace, he scooped her up into his arms as soon as they were outside the room.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNick! I can walk\u2026\u201d Khloe murmured, her hands immediately wrapping around his broad back.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>1\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>+25 Bonus\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut I can\u2019t bear to see you struggle,\u201d Nick said, his voice calm but firm. \u201cNext time, no matter who it is, don\u2019t drink this much again.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Khloe tilted her head obediently and nodded. \u201cOkay.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She had wanted to say she hadn\u2019t actually drunk that much-she had handled more at past gatherings-but she remembered Nick had already witnessed her tipsy state during the previous Morrison project meeting.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Billionaire\u2019s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 133 Advertisement Read Billionaire&#039;s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 133 \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-26650","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\/26650","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=26650"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26650\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26650"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26650"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26650"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
