Chapter 416\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nick seemed deaf to Khloe\u2019s attempts to stop him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This was the first time he had completely ignored her feelings.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe suddenly remembered the question he had asked her before: If he deceived her, what would she do?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo\u2026?\u201d she asked quietly, no longer resisting. Her voice was calm, betraying no emotion-like the eerie stillness before a storm.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo\u2026\u201d Nick paused. His voice had lost its usual warmth; it was cold, distant, almost like another person speaking. \u201cSo\u2026 if you regret this now, we can stop. End it here.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
His eyes flicked toward her, surveying her quietly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe lowered her gaze, the injured hand trembling slightly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nick dared not dwell on what might have happened-if he hadn\u2019t come to, would Khloe even be sitting here in one piece? For a brief time, he had lived in a fragile happiness, clinging to a dangerous hope. But now, it seemed the dream was ending.\u00a0<\/p>\n
No matter how much he wanted to hold on, he could not.\u00a0<\/p>\n
All because of his own selfish desires and greed\u2026 he had truly hurt her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Michelle had been right-he was just barely holding himself together.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat did you say?\u201d Khloe\u2019s head shot up, their eyes locking.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nick quickly looked away, voice rough and labored. \u201cI\u2019ve made it clear. I don\u2019t need you to make sacrifices. I\u2019m giving you a chance to leave.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSacrifices?\u201d The words cut through her chest.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Though she was shocked-seeing Nick like this was not something she could process in an instant-she still wanted to comfort him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And yet, in one sentence, all the warmth and care he had shown her over these days\u2026 seemed to be denied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Could it be that the tenderness, the small acts of love he had offered her, were just as easily withdrawn as they had been given?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Was he going to treat her the way he treated Michelle?\u00a0<\/p>\n
In that moment, Khloe couldn\u2019t help but wonder if he only wanted someone to fill a void, someone to maintain his sense of security.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t want to put you in a difficult position,\u201d Nick said softly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Suddenly, Khloe had no words.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The two of them sat in the living room, silence stretching on. After a long while, Khloe finally rose and extended her hand.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Nick hesitated, surprised.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She murmured, \u201cThe floor is cold. We don\u2019t want you catching a chill.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He didn\u2019t take her hand. He got up on his own.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Khloe said nothing further and moved toward the dining table to tidy it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nick stopped her. \u201cLet the maid do it tomorrow. Your hand-\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He didn\u2019t finish, and Khloe turned back toward the bedroom.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A sudden emptiness gripped his chest. For the first time, tears threatened to fall.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Every day since being with Khloe, he had believed in their happily-ever-after. And yet, in an instant\u2026 all that joy turned to ash.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That night, Khloe barely slept. Nick didn\u2019t return to the bedroom. In the middle of the night, she heard a door\u00a0<\/p>\n
close.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Much later, she got up and turned on the light. Nick was gone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was three in the morning.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She considered calling Arista but hesitated, not wanting to disturb anyone. Finally, she sent a message to Lenny.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If Nick left, Lenny must have come to pick him up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lenny quickly replied: [Mr. Hunt isn\u2019t feeling well and didn\u2019t want to disturb you, so he returned to the Hunt family estate.]\u00a0<\/p>\n
The \u201cisn\u2019t feeling well\u201d was actually Lenny\u2019s addition, but it unsettled Khloe nonetheless.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She asked questions for a long time. Lenny said the doctor had given him an injection, and now Nick was asleep.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lenny rubbed his forehead, feeling a dull ache-not from staying up and working late, but because\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n
