He enjoyed teasing her and found himself wanting to do it every day.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>That said, he never intended to pursue anything serious with her.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Still, it seemed Charlotte might have been captivated by him. Otherwise, why would Khloe get so angry after just a brief conversation with her and call to issue a warning?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If Khloe wanted them to keep their distance, all she had to do was tell Charlotte to cut him off completely. Wasn\u2019t that enough?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The thought amused Ethan, and the corner of his mouth lifted unconsciously.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can try,\u201d Khloe said coolly. \u201cAnd I can also make sure you\u2019re completely kicked out of the Morrison Group.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>With that, she hung up without giving him any chance to twist her words or fan the flames.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She knew Ethan was driven by benefits above all else. No matter how interested he was in Charlotte, he would still be wary of her warning.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Carrying a trace of irritation, Khloe headed home.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As she stepped out of the elevator, she took several deep breaths and forced a smile onto her face.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ethan really was a bastard.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The moment she opened the door, Loretta burst out first and wrapped her in a soft, enthusiastic hug. \u201cOh my! Khloe, you\u2019re back!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It had only been a few days, yet Loretta acted as if they hadn\u2019t seen each other in years. She hugged Khloe tightly and even planted a couple of kisses on her.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Her face was glowing. She was clearly very happy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Arista also came to the doorway, smiling warmly at Khloe, \u201cWork must\u2019ve been exhausting, huh? I just made several kinds of wellness tea. Your timing\u2019s perfect-come have a taste.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSure!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Seeing Arista and Grandma, the last bit of Khloe\u2019s displeasure vanished instantly.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Only a home with family was truly a home. And at that moment, Khloe felt it deeply. The moment she opened the door, she was greeted by tenderness and warmth. No matter what storms raged outside, none of them could touch her here.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nick and Leon were inside. Leon loved talking about military affairs, and only Nick ever had the patience to keep him company.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>1\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 409\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>+25 Bonus\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The instant Nick heard Khloe was back, he couldn\u2019t sit still. He immediately came out from the guest room.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Seeing her holding the wellness tea Arista had just brewed-she\u2019d only taken a small sip-he leaned in close.\u201d Welcome back.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMm.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Usually, when it was just the two of them, a single glance was enough to spark intimacy. But with so many people around, Nick still gazed at her intently without blinking, making Khloe feel a little shy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTired today?\u201d Nick asked, oblivious to her embarrassment, reaching out without a care to brush her hair aside.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot at all.\u201d Khloe shook her head.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nick said nothing, but everyone could see it-his longing gaze almost seemed ready to swallow her whole.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If Khloe hadn\u2019t instinctively pressed her lips together, and if he\u2019d leaned in just a bit more, it would\u2019ve looked like he was about to steal a kiss.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis tea is really good. Want some?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Khloe quickly raised the small teacup to Nick\u2019s lips.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The pale blue liquid lightly brushed the corner of his mouth. A sweet fragrance spread.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh, it\u2019s a bit sweet. You probably wouldn\u2019t like it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Just as Nick lowered his gaze, about to take a sip, Khloe deliberately moved the cup away.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI like it,\u201d Nick said, catching her hand. He took a sip as he spoke.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The blue liquid rippled as he guided her hand, drinking every last drop from the cup. His throat bobbed as he swallowed slowly.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh my, young people really are different. Newlyweds are just this sweet,\u201d Arista laughed, unable to contain her smile as she leaned toward Loretta and whispered.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Loretta replied smugly, \u201cOf course.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Back in her day, the sweetest couple in the Hunt family had been her and Leon. Now, she officially declared, it was her grandson and granddaughter-in-law.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Nick\u2019s dependence on Khloe wasn\u2019t just obvious to outsiders-every single person in the Hunt family could see it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>COIN BUNDLE: get more free bonus\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u65e5\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Billionaire\u2019s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 409 Advertisement Read Billionaire&#039;s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 409 \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-26930","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\/26930","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=26930"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26930\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26930"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26930"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26930"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
