He could only nod.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Once most of the guests had been seen off, Ethan finally noticed Michelle standing alone in a corner.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She had wanted some time to herself and hadn\u2019t left with her parents, remaining seated at one of the banquet tables. Now that almost everyone was gone, she rose in a daze, preparing to leave.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMichelle, please wait.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ethan strode over and called out to her softly.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Michelle turned around. The redness and swelling around her eyes were obvious. She shot him a resentful glance. \u201cIs there something you need?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI noticed you seem quite down. Did we fail to take proper care of you tonight?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Michelle shook her head. \u201cNo.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019ve had some drinks tonight, haven\u2019t you? I\u2019m free at the moment-why don\u2019t I give you a ride?\u201d Ethan offered with a polite smile.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Michelle had already called for a car, but after hearing his words, she didn\u2019t refuse. She was still trapped in the shock of learning that Nick and Khloe were legally married, her emotions teetering on the brink of collapse.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After getting into Ethan\u2019s car, she refused to sit in the passenger seat and went straight to the back.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He tried to make conversation, but she remained distracted and barely responded.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Left with no choice, Ethan focused on driving.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>They hadn\u2019t gone far when, at an intersection with a traffic light, Michelle suddenly began pounding frantically on the car door. \u201cI\u2019m going to throw up.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Startled, Ethan quickly pulled over near the street corner.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Michelle had clearly drunk quite a bit. She clutched a tree and vomited, abandoning all concern for her\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>appearance.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ethan turned his head away and took out a silk handkerchief he carried with him, handing it to her.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019ve really had a hard night.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Though his words were gentle, inwardly, he felt nothing but disdain.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Michelle had once been known as a goddess among society ladies-beautiful, talented, and from a distinguished family, cherished and protected by countless admirers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And now, for the sake of Nick, she had reduced herself to this pitiful state, like a discarded woman. It was truly an ugly sight.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy are you giving me a ride? Ethan, don\u2019t beat around the bush. Say what you really want to say.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>1\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 207\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>+25 Bonus\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After the worst of the nausea passed, Michelle wiped the corner of her mouth and tossed the handkerchief aside.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A flicker passed through Ethan\u2019s eyes. Even if he wouldn\u2019t have kept something she\u2019d used anyway, the handkerchief was expensive-and Michelle hadn\u2019t bothered with even a token courtesy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI simply feel sorry for you, Michelle.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ethan smiled faintly. He had known Michelle was a smart woman.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSorry for me? What do you feel sorry about?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEveryone knows you and Nick were childhood sweethearts, practically a match made in heaven. You nearly got engaged back then. Yet in the blink of an eye, everything has changed-Nick and Khloe are now husband and wife. Isn\u2019t that something to regret?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat do you know!\u201d Struck where it hurt, Michelle glared at Ethan and snapped hoarsely.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ethan smiled calmly. \u201cI may not understand everything, but I can see how deeply you feel. And I can also see that a marriage formed in such a short time-between Nick and Khloe-is hardly reliable.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Hearing this, Michelle\u2019s expression finally softened. She knew Ethan had an agenda.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But right now, she was too helpless-too desperate for someone to comfort her.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo what if it is?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m willing to help you. Just because they\u2019re married, does that mean they\u2019ll stay together forever? How long have Nick and Khloe known each other\u2014and how long have you known him?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ethan paused, watching as the color slowly returned to Michelle\u2019s face. He lifted his hand and gently smoothed the messy strands of hair by her cheek.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf pleading with sincere feelings can\u2019t get you what you want, then take it back. I\u2019ll help you.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>11\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Michelle looked at Ethan\u2019s refined face and those piercing eyes. For a moment, it felt as though something inside her had been ignited.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>2\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Billionaire\u2019s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 207 Advertisement Read Billionaire&#039;s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 207 \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-26724","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\/26724","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=26724"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26724\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26724"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26724"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26724"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
