Chapter 186\u00a0<\/p>\n
The flickering candlelight danced across Nick\u2019s sharply defined features, and Khloe found herself staring, utterly captivated.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It wasn\u2019t until the flames were blown out that she snapped back to reality, quickly distributing the utensils to Loretta and Leon and cutting slices of the cake.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Knowing Nick didn\u2019t usually have a sweet tooth, no one offered him a piece. But this cake was handmade by Khloe, and after serving the others, Nick cut himself a generous slice. He ate it, savoring it completely, and even looked at Khloe with a faint smile. \u201cDelicious.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was an ordinary flavor, yet to Nick, it somehow tasted better than anything a top-tier pastry chef could make.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Loretta and Leon, delighted like children, devoured their portions with obvious pleasure.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After the cake, Arista called for a video chat. She spoke with Khloe and the others briefly before connecting Nick to his father, George Hunt.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nick\u2019s father shared almost the same facial structure as Nick, but his features were softer and less striking, lacking the sharp, refined edges that made Nick\u2019s presence so commanding.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Perhaps due to the video call, George seemed less imposing than rumors suggested. His hair was streaked with gray, and his square glasses gave him a scholarly appearance. While he rarely smiled, his tone was surprisingly gentle, though he spoke sparingly, not appearing overly enthusiastic.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nick didn\u2019t seem inclined to let his father talk too much to Khloe. He quickly took the phone upstairs, leaving George\u2019s sudden shift to business matters behind. Khloe exchanged a look with Nick before he retreated to the study.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t worry about it. That\u2019s just how father and son are-they rarely have emotional exchanges. Every time they meet, it\u2019s either work or work,\u201d Loretta sighed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The relationship between father and son had always been strained. Loretta had hoped that marriage would soften Nick, but he remained the same-polite to the family, yet rigid and disciplined under his father\u2019s scrutiny. Even minor matters brought sharp words, sometimes harsh enough to sting.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nick\u2019s choice to take the call away from Khloe was largely to spare her the sight of his cold reception in front of his father.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s fine, work comes first,\u201d Khloe murmured, her gaze lingering on him with concern.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She lingered on the sofa chatting with Loretta a while longer before being guided to the suite prepared for the newlyweds.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Hunt family estate was vast. The main villa alone had six master bedrooms, and Loretta had chosen a quiet, south-facing corner for them, complete with a private staircase leading directly to the downstairs hall and dining\u00a0<\/p>\n
area.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The bedroom had been thoughtfully arranged: champagne-colored silk bedding, a plush, pristine leather-and- fur rug, and a pale yellow crystal lamp casting a soft glow on the nightstand.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Loretta personally showed Khloe the walk-in closet, stocked with brand-name clothing, sleepwear, and lingerie -all carefully selected to her measurements. She had prepared all this immediately after helping Khloe pick her formal gowns, ensuring everything would be ready for her stay.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe\u2019s heart swelled with warmth and a hint of embarrassment. \u201cGrandma, you\u2019ve gone to so much trouble.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t understand young people\u2019s tastes, so I let the store assistants help. Are you satisfied? If you need anything else, tell me, or just ask Nick to get it. Our family has means-you don\u2019t have to be shy with me,\u201d Loretta said, her cheeks tinged with pink as she held Khloe\u2019s hands.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe looked down, a soft smile tugging at her lips. \u201cIt\u2019s perfect, everything you chose is wonderful\u2026 I\u2019m just\u2026 not ready yet.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her eyes flicked to the wide, inviting bed in the room. Though they had officially registered their marriage, things had progressed so quickly that the thought of sleeping beside Nick made her blood run hot.\u00a0<\/p>\n
