She quickly stole a glance at Nick, who was focused on the road ahead, yet a faint smile tugged at the corners of his lips.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Without a word, he reached over and took the phone from her. His tone, rare in its softness, was like flowing water. \u201cGrandma, don\u2019t scare her-we\u2019re on our way home.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGood, good! Be careful on the road, stay safe,\u201d came the reply, brisk but affectionate.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nick handed the phone back to Khloe. She asked instinctively, her voice tinged with hesitation, \u201cTonight\u2026 we\u2019re staying at your place?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur home,\u201d Nick said simply.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The words struck Khloe with a jolt. Of course-Nick\u2019s home was now her home too.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrandma was just teasing. If you don\u2019t want to stay tonight, I\u2019ll take you back,\u201d he added.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m good,\u201d Khloe replied softly, her heart fluttering.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As night deepened, they returned to the villa, where several people were already waiting for them. Loretta had stationed many servants outside; the moment the car arrived, they hurried to carry their belongings, greeting them with all the ceremony of welcoming distinguished guests.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Inside, the house had been festively decorated. The atmosphere instantly felt warm, cozy, and celebratory.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Leon and Loretta were dressed in matching casual outfits, waiting specifically for the newlyweds. The scene made Khloe feel the reality of being married and being part of a big, loving family.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In the past, when she and Trey had registered with a fake marriage license, it had been a simple meal, no different from any ordinary day. The Fox family had never welcomed her, and no one had been waiting at home.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKhloe, from today on, you are officially part of our family! I\u2019m so happy! Don\u2019t worry, I will treat you well and love you like my own granddaughter,\u201d Loretta said, taking Khloe\u2019s hands, tears brimming in her eyes, the rims red from emotion.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Leon reminded her not to cry on such a happy day, and Khloe forced herself to hold it back.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrandma, I should be the one happy. To become your granddaughter-in-law, to have you as my family, I am truly lucky. I will honor and cherish you always,\u201d Khloe said, her voice trembling slightly with emotion as she hugged Loretta. She had always longed for a warm, happy home.,\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nick, who seldom showed emotion, also found himself momentarily moved by the scene-the tenderness in Khloe and his grandparents\u2019 faces was undeniable.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlright, Khloe and I brought a birthday cake-do you want some? She made it herself,\u201d Nick quickly interjected, placing the cake on the table before anyone could protest.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Loretta and Leon were delighted, immediately instructing the servants to bring utensils. Normally, Nick never celebrated his birthday, and anyone presenting him a cake would be met with his usual cold expression-or worse, risk angering him.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But now, with Khloe, Nick had brought the cake himself. Finally, the family could celebrate Nick\u2019s birthday, and it filled them with quiet joy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>1\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 185\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>+25 Bonus\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The birthday celebration began at home, surrounded by family. Khloe had prepared the candles: Nick was twenty- nine, so she placed nine on the cake and carefully lit them herself.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNick, close your eyes before blowing out the candles and make a birthday wish,\u201d she instructed softly, noticing him reaching for the knife.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nick obediently did as she said, closing his eyes for a few seconds. \u201cAlright,\u201d he said when he opened them.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u0446\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Billionaire\u2019s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 185 Advertisement Read Billionaire&#039;s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 185 \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-26702","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\/26702","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=26702"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26702\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26702"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26702"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26702"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
