So jealous. My heart\u2026 feels unbearably bitter right now,\u201d Nick confessed.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut I don\u2019t care for him at all. You don\u2019t need to waste your anger on someone like him. He\u2019s no match for you\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKhloe said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Her voice grew quieter as Nick leaned closer, his lips nearly brushing the corner of hers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo match for me in terms of what?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn terms of everything\u2026 not even a single hair compares to you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Khloe stared at Nick\u2019s face, partially shrouded in shadow. Even without full light, his features were breathtakingly handsome. But unlike his usual calm, composed demeanor, his aura now carried a predatory intensity.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He looked like a lion pretending to sleep, finally done toying with its prey, ready to strike.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSay more,\u201d he murmured.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>His lips brushed hers, then her cheek, while his hand slowly traveled upward along her waist. \u201cI want to hear you say it. That you love only me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Khloe felt her face flush. Did she really have to say it so directly?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cQuickly,\u201d Nick urged in a low voice, close to her ear.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI love you. Only you,\u201d she finally admitted, cheeks burning.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSay my name.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNick\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWho am I to you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy husband.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Shy and flustered, Khloe\u2019s voice carried a hint of affectation.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne more time\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nick\u2019s voice was low, magnetic, a slow-burning rumble that set her heart racing. Though they were still standing, a heat began to crawl through her body like wildfire.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Her ears burned, and she whispered, \u201c\u2026Husband.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Trying to stop herself, Khloe attempted to pull back-but at that moment, Nick tilted her chin upward and kissed her deeply.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>His Adam\u2019s apple rolled as he moved, savoring the moment. His motions slowed, deliberate.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Khloe, slightly tipsy from earlier drinks, felt herself instantly dizzy and lightheaded from the intensity of the\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>1\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 374\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>+25 Bonus\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>kiss.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Beneath his coat, he wore only a thin layer, skin-tight, warm, firm\u2026 and Nick\u2019s arms held her securely, his hands kneading just enough pressure along her back to feel reassuring.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>They kissed for what felt like an eternity, until Khloe, dizzy and struggling for air, finally gripped his hand to signal a pause.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Just then, their car arrived. The driver hesitated, waiting until they separated before approaching, and Khloe quickly pulled Nick inside.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Only then did she remember something important: he had promised her he wouldn\u2019t run away from home tonight, that he would rest properly. So why was he out again?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause you were ignoring me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nick\u2019s words held no guilt.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ever since Khloe had been avoiding going home, he had sensed her mood. So, he had sent someone to the Morrison Group, curious about what she was up to. But her office lights were already off. And then she went out with Winnie\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Even a fool would understand: she didn\u2019t want to go home. And with only him at home, that could only mean she was mad at him.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wasn\u2019t ignoring you!\u201d Khloe stammered.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen tell me what\u2019s got you upset? What did I do wrong? Speak honestly, and I\u2019ll fix it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He didn\u2019t argue, didn\u2019t deflect. His words were direct, leaving Khloe simultaneously moved and guilty.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She pressed her lips together and decided to be honest. \u201cNick\u2026 tell me the truth. In your heart\u2026 are you still\u2026 not able to let go of Michelle?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>P\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Billionaire\u2019s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 374 Advertisement Read Billionaire&#039;s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 374 \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-26895","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\/26895","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=26895"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26895\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26895"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26895"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26895"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
