Since when are you being so polite?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Khloe rubbed her eyes, suddenly sensing a subtle shift in his tone.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nick smiled. \u201cIt\u2019s just\u2026 no one\u2019s ever waited for me this late before.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlright, from now on, I\u2019ll take on the task of waiting for you. As long as you\u2019re happy, that\u2019s all that matters.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKhloe\u2026\u201d His voice dropped slightly. \u201cYou\u2019re this good to me\u2026 is it out of obligation, or do you really like me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Her sleepiness vanished at once. Nick\u2019s question left her alert, and a soft blush crept across her cheeks.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell\u2026 it\u2019s right to treat you kindly out of obligation, but\u2026 I can\u2019t be nice to someone I don\u2019t like.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She said the last part almost too softly, and even she felt embarrassed at how sappy it sounded. Why did Nick always enjoy teasing her like this?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>There was a brief silence on the line before his voice returned. \u201cI\u2019ll remember what you said today.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>His gentle tone carried through the phone, almost tangible in its intensity. Khloe\u2019s heart felt as if something had lightly bumped it, sending a tingling warmth through her.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Before she could respond, he added, \u201cAlright. Go to sleep now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMm\u2026 you rest early too,\u201d she whispered. \u201cI\u2019ll see you tomorrow.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOkay.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After hanging up, Nick\u2019s eyes softened. He wanted nothing more than to finish the remaining work here as quickly as possible and return to the home where someone was waiting for him.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The next morning, the entire mountain region lay shrouded in a thin veil of mist. The sky was overcast, clouds hanging low, yet the muted, almost ethereal light perfectly complemented the spirit of unity and progress among the people.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nick and Michelle followed the schedule, completing the morning interviews. Throughout, Nick maintained absolute professional distance, minimizing even eye contact.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the team prepared for a group shot at the observation deck. Nick moved first to the designated spot, posture straight and commanding. Michelle followed, carrying the camera equipment.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But as her foot landed, she stumbled sharply and let out a startled gasp, losing balance and pitching uncontrollably toward the edge of the observation deck.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The deck sat midway up the mountain, with a half-built ralling that offered scant protection. Michelle\u2019s position was right on a step, completely exposed. A fall from there would be life-threatening.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Of everyone nearby, Nick was the closest.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Everything happened in an instant.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>1\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 295\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>+25 Bonus\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nick reacted immediately, gripping her arm and yanking her back with a powerful motion. But Michelle, in her momentum, crashed against his chest. Even so, he didn\u2019t hold her close-he pushed her back firmly.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Though their contact lasted only a fraction of a second, the corner of the deck held a faint shutter click, capturing the moment.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBe more careful.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nick gave her a cold glance before signaling Lenny to bring in the bodyguards and secure the perimeter.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Michelle touched her arm, which throbbed from the strong grip, frowning slightly. When he pushed her away, the force had been immense, as though she were nothing more than a nuisance. Yet, even this was better than being ignored entirely.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She glanced back at the step she had nearly fallen from. Had he not caught her, she would have truly lost that gamble.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Two hours later, the shoot finally wrapped. The crew began packing up, and the children who had assisted were led away by the team leader.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nick, eager to return, prepared to call Khloe as soon as he got into the car.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But before anyone had gone far, a strange vibration ran through the mountains. A low, unsettling rumble sounded from above and to the side, sending a chill down the spine. 1\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>2\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 296\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>e bodyguards and secure the perimeter.<\/p>\n<p>Michelle touched her arm, which throbbed from the strong grip, frowning slightly.
