If there ever comes a day when I can repay it, I will not be stingy.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2013\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Then his tone shifted, firm and precise. \u201cHowever, that repayment should not-and will not be built on my personal relationship with Michelle. I don\u2019t wish to create unnecessary misunderstandings or further entanglements.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nick\u2019s principled words left Michelle\u2019s mother and uncle with nothing more to say, as if they had just been pressing the issue without reason.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMichelle, if there\u2019s anything you want to say, you can say it here. Khloe is my wife. There is nothing I can\u2019t say in front of her. If you find that inconvenient-\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As his words fell, Nick turned slightly and gestured to Lenny behind him. \u201cLenny can handle any of your needs on my behalf.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nick\u2019s cold decisiveness felt like a public humiliation to Michelle. Tears pooled in her eyes, and her entire body trembled uncontrollably.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She had risked her life, yet she couldn\u2019t even earn a few private words with him?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Forcing back her tears, Michelle tugged the corner of her mouth into a bitter smile. \u201cNick, you don\u2019t have to guard against me like I\u2019m some kind of thief. I just wanted to tell you\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She paused, then continued, \u201cWhat\u2019s past is past. From today on, we\u2019re just ordinary friends. I don\u2019t want you to treat me differently every time we meet, as if I were some kind of danger.\u201d (1\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Seeing her daughter in pain, Michelle\u2019s mother felt her own heart twist. Her uncle\u2019s face darkened; his lips pressed tightly together as he turned away.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nick\u2019s stance was clear. He showed no intention of clinging to old ties. No matter how dissatisfied they felt, they didn\u2019t dare say more, afraid it would only make things worse.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re overthinking it,\u201d Nick said in a low voice. His gaze swept over the pain on Michelle\u2019s face, and there was indeed a trace of reluctance.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Seeing this, Khloe gently continued for him. \u201cMichelle, there\u2019s no need to worry. Nick is a man of principle and gratitude-he knows where boundaries lie. He won\u2019t treat you differently because of the past. As for your follow -up treatment, I\u2019ll arrange the best medical care and take full responsibility. Please focus on recovering and get well as soon as possible.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Her tone was warm and composed, instantly easing the awkward tension in the room.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After speaking, she lifted her gaze to Nick, her eyes clear and calm. \u201cLet\u2019s go. We shouldn\u2019t disturb Michelle\u2019s\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>rest.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nick clasped her hand in return, nodded briefly to the two elders, and left without another glance at Michelle, walking straight out with Khloe.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>1\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 227\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>+25 Bonus\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Seeing him truly leave like that, Michelle moved in agitation, only for a sharp pain to shoot through her wrist. Tears immediately streamed down her face.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy baby girl\u2026\u201d her mother hurried to her side, holding her protectively. \u201cYou should give up now, shouldn\u2019t you? Nick\u2026 he\u2019s made up his mind to cut things off with you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Michelle\u2019s uncle couldn\u2019t bear to see her torment herself any longer and spoke harshly, \u201cIt\u2019s not worth it! Look at how he treats Khloe-they\u2019re husband and wife, of one mind and one heart. Men change their hearts that fast. Don\u2019t be foolish anymore!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo\u2026 Nick is different. I know he is.\u201d Michelle was in so much pain she could barely breathe, yet she still forced out those words.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Only she knew-Nick wasn\u2019t a cold, heartless man. On the contrary, he was the gentlest man she had ever known. 1\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>On the drive back, Nick was clearly subdued. He held Khloe tightly against him but said very little.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Khloe wanted to speak, but hesitated, afraid of touching an old wound.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Michelle had once said that Nick had been hurt deeply in the past.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Khloe understood. Sometimes, the most ruthless-seeming people were the ones who had been hurt the most.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She trusted Nick completely. He didn\u2019t need to explain, and she didn\u2019t care how others viewed it. All she wanted was for him to be well.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>COIN BUNDLE: get more free bonus\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Billionaire\u2019s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 227 Advertisement Read Billionaire&#039;s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 227 \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-26748","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\/26748","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=26748"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26748\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26748"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26748"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26748"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
