She tilted her head slightly, the curve of her neck graceful, droplets of water from her damp hair sliding along her collarbone into the neckline of her sleepwear.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>His gaze darkened, and his Adam\u2019s apple rolled almost involuntarily.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll done?\u201d he asked, closing the file, his voice husky from the prolonged silence.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMm.\u201d Khloe smiled at him through the mirror. \u201cAre you done?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlmost.\u201d He pushed the papers aside, giving her his full attention. \u201cYou need to dry your hair, or you\u2019ll get a headache.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGot it,\u201d she said, but her hands didn\u2019t stop, carefully patting her cheeks with measured motions.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nick didn\u2019t rush her, leaning back in his chair to watch quietly.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Watching her delicate fingers gently massage around her eyes, the way she swept her long hair to one side, revealing the pale skin behind her ear\u2026 what seemed ordinary now slowed down in his eyes, charged with a subtle, silent allure.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat are you looking at?\u201d Khloe finally couldn\u2019t resist, meeting his gaze through the mirror, cheeks flushing.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou,\u201d he answered simply, eyes honest and burning. \u201cYou look good from every angle.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Her heart skipped a beat. Though she was no stranger to compliments, Nick\u2019s praise carried weight, a depth that\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>made it feel different.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She cast him a sidelong glance, a shy expression that seemed to hook his very soul.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll blow my hair now-it\u2019ll be noisy, so you can mute me,\u201d she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMm,\u201d he replied, yet made no move, as if even the sound of her hair dryer was something he didn\u2019t want to miss.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He watched her fingers comb through her hair, the strands slipping through her hands, and a rare, full-bodied satisfaction filled him. Khloe, normally distant and seemingly cold, now revealed the most everyday, unguarded side of herself before him.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Was it only with him that she could be so tender, so girl-like?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Suddenly, Nick felt that no amount of pressing work could compare to this moment, watching her blow her hair through the phone.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Soon, the hum of the dryer ceased. Khloe ruffled her semi-dry hair and looked back at the screen.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll done. But\u2026 shouldn\u2019t you go rest?\u201d Her eyes softened as she noticed the faint weariness in his gaze, unwilling to remind him overtly.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>1\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 783\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>+25 Bonus\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He glanced at the time-indeed, it was late.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMm,\u201d he said, pausing, his gaze lingering on her face with quiet affection. \u201cOnce you\u2019re in bed, I\u2019ll hang up.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Khloe obediently lay down, pulled the covers up, and whispered softly into her phone, \u201cGood night, Nick.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGood night, Khloe,\u201d his voice fell to a whisper. \u201cWait for me.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>11\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As the screen darkened, the room sank into complete silence. Khloe stared at the ceiling for a moment, then took a deep breath and hugged the covers, curling her arms around them.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The space felt emptier without him-his body would have been wider, more filling, more comforting than the blanket.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Nick sat in the darkness for a moment before slowly rising and heading to the bathroom. The cold water cascading over him did little to quell the secret warmth ignited within by her presence.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He closed his eyes, replaying the image of her lying on the pillow, softly whispering good night.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It seemed he would have to bring forward his return.\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 283 Advertisement Read Billionaire&#039;s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 283 \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-26804","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\/26804","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=26804"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26804\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26804"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26804"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26804"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
