From as far back as he could remember, every mention of his mother had always been tinged with sorrow and regret. His very existence had seemed to steal her life, to rob his father of happiness.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nick had once been consumed by the despairing thought that he should never have been born. Night after night, that thought gnawed at him like a relentless worm, burrowing deep into his soul.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But now\u2026 Khloe was saying thank you. Not pity, not regret-but gratitude. Gratitude for the woman who had given him life, and gratitude for his very being.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Her words struck like an unexpected ray of light, illuminating a barren stretch of his heart that had never known warmth. That self-loathing, etched into his very bones, was violently shaken.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He lowered his head, his eyes already glistening with moisture.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Khloe felt his body tremble slightly, the grip of his hand sending a near-spasmodic wave of pressure through her own. She knew he must be weathering an internal storm, so she wrapped her other arm around his shoulders, letting his lowered forehead rest against the side of her neck.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For a long time, they stayed like that. The sun rose fully, piercing the clouds, and its warm light poured over them, bringing a gentle, quiet heat.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo you think she regretted it?\u201d Nick\u2019s words were half-question, half-murmur, but Khloe understood the weight behind them.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNever,\u201d she said, swallowing the ache in her chest, her voice firm and unwavering.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYour mother loved you more than anything, so she made her choice. Her greatest wish was always for your safety, your health, your happiness\u2026 for you to become someone truly remarkable. You are the pride of her life.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nick\u2019s shoulders shuddered again.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He had never heard words like that. His father\u2019s coldness, the pity of others\u2014all had nailed him to the cross of his so-called \u201coriginal sin.\u201d Yet Khloe, with something so simple and pure, had lifted him off it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He leaned in her embrace for a little longer before slowly raising his head. \u201cKhloe\u2026 let\u2019s go back.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>At the Morrison Group, around noon.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Khloe had just finished handling the day\u2019s routine tasks and was heading downstairs for lunch when she spotted Charlotte exiting the elevator, head bowed, lost in thought.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCharlotte?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Charlotte had taken the morning off. Khloe knew about the difficulties in her family and trusted that Charlotte would never let personal matters interfere with work. She had therefore approved a full day of paid leave for her. But now, only half a day had passed, and here she was back at work.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>1\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 24\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKhloe!\u201d Charlotte seemed startled, her eyes darting briefly at Khloe.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou took the morning off, didn\u2019t you? Everything settled?\u201d Khloe asked, concerned.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>+25 Bonus\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Charlotte nodded, looking a little dazed. \u201cIt\u2019s all handled\u2026 nothing too serious. I didn\u2019t mean to worry you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s fine. Things haven\u2019t been too busy at the company lately. If anything comes up, you just tell me.\u201d Khloe smiled warmly and patted Charlotte on the shoulder.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Charlotte had been the first subordinate Khloe had personally mentored at Fox Group. Though the youngest in the department, she worked the hardest. Smart and quick to understand, she grasped everything almost instantly. Khloe had always taken a special interest in her development. Beyond work, Charlotte shared some striking similarities with Khloe herself, and the two got along like true sisters.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOkay\u2026\u201d Charlotte replied softly.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>At that moment, the elevator chimed, and the doors opened. Stepping out was Ethan.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Their eyes met instantly. When he noticed Charlotte standing nearby as well, his brows arched slightly.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>D\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Billionaire\u2019s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 214 Advertisement Read Billionaire&#039;s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 214 \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-26731","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\/26731","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=26731"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26731\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26731"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26731"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26731"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
