He had known all along: Khloe would never give Trey an inch of mercy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSupporting the Fox Group doesn\u2019t harm the Morrison family much, but having Trey running in and out of Morrison Group, constantly crossing paths with you, will inevitably draw criticism,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The damage was minor, but the disruption was immense. With a single sentence, Nick had cut straight to Ethan\u2019s unscrupulous intentions.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He didn\u2019t expect one move to crush Khloe, but there was no shortage of schemes and underhanded tricks.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat\u2019s your plan?\u201d Khloe asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Morrison family\u2019s maneuvers could only be countered strategically. But Nick was confident-they wouldn\u2019t dare act openly against Khloe. All they could attempt were petty tricks, which Khloe was more than capable of handling herself.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, as soon as he finished speaking, Khloe\u2019s lips curved into a knowing smile, as if an idea had just occurred to her.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince they\u2019re so fond of the Fox Group, let\u2019s wish them a happy collaboration,\u201d she said lightly.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo you want me to do anything?\u201d Nick asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He noticed a strange gleam in her eyes-not tenderness, but something sharper. He intertwined his fingers with hers, his thumb brushing the diamond ring on her ring finger.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Khloe let out a soft laugh and suddenly leaned her head onto his shoulder, whispering a few words. Nick\u2019s expression barely shifted, though the faintest lift at the corner of his lips and the softened glow in his eyes betrayed his approval.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPerfect,\u201d he murmured.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Later, after showering, they lay together.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Khloe, unable to sleep, gazed at his flat, broad chest, feeling a gentle flutter in her heart. Time had flown. It felt like they\u2019d just met, yet now their breathing, their presence, was etched into her bones.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>How could she not feel anything for a man like him? For a body like his?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Yet, Nick held her each night with perfect restraint. Respectful\u2026 yes, but his self-control was extraordinary.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2026Nick? Are you asleep?\u201d she asked softly, watching his closed eyes and even breathing. His long lashes caught the dim light filtering through the window, drawing her gaze.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When he didn\u2019t respond, she reached out carefully. Just as her fingers brushed his lashes, Nick\u2019s eyes opened.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wanted to count your eyelashes,\u201d she whispered.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>1\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chacter 248\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>+25 Bonus\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nick stared at her. His dark eyes betrayed no trace of sleepiness-only a piercing clarity that seemed to read her every thought.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCount my eyelashes?\u201d he repeated, his low voice teasingly husky, the tail of the word curling in playful mockery. \u201cJust counting lashes\u2026 is that enough? Would you like to know every inch of my body too?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Heat rushed to Khloe\u2019s ears. She tried to pull back, but he drew her closer into his chest. The warmth of his body pressed through the thin fabric of his sleepwear, soothing against her skin.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have an important assignment next week,\u201d he whispered, lips nearly brushing her ear, his breath hot against her skin. \u201cI\u2019ll be on a business trip\u2026 for about a week.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Khloe flinched slightly, an inexplicable emptiness settling in her chest. \u201cA whole week?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I return,\u201d he continued, \u201cwe\u2019ll have our wedding.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>His hand traced her back with a restrained yet deliberate desire. \u201c\u2026Then, you can do more than just count my eyelashes.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>His words, soft as they were, weighed heavily on her heart. She understood him clearly and lowered her gaze, shy and speechless.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018\u2026Mm,\u201d she murmured.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The next morning, Charlotte quietly slipped into Khloe\u2019s office.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Billionaire\u2019s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 248 Advertisement Read Billionaire&#039;s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 248 \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-26769","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\/26769","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=26769"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26769\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26769"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26769"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26769"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
