She\u2019d argued fiercely with George-so fiercely that she even brought up divorce.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After all these years, she\u2019d had enough of his temper. Yet, out of love, duty, and care for the Hunt family, Arista always played the role of the mediator. Only she could soothe George\u2019s stubborn, bull-headed temper.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But seeing her stepson and daughter-in-law treated so crudely felt like the final straw.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Even though George knew his son had endured trauma since childhood, he had deliberately provoked him out of pride and stubbornness. And Khloe had gotten hurt in the process\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Thinking back to the harrowing scenes from last night, Arista\u2019s heart still ached, the memory sending chills down her spine.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When Arista stormed off to her parents\u2019 home in frustration, George finally panicked. Afraid that Loretta and Leon would force him to apologize to Nick, he rushed after her to her parents\u2019 home.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After the morning\u2019s commotion at home, things had quieted down, and Loretta wanted to check on Nick and Khloe. But she assumed Khloe was off work today and spending time with Nick, so she hesitated to contact them too early for fear of disturbing the couple. Khloe had been frightened-Loretta didn\u2019t even know how best\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>to comfort her.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Now, she decided to call. Partly to check on the young couple, and partly because she wanted to see Khloe\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>herself.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrandma\u2026 we\u2019re\u2026 fine,\u201d Nick said reluctantly, his words weighed with something he didn\u2019t feel. \u201cYou don\u2019t need to come by today. I\u2019ll take care of her hand.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI see.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Hearing him, Loretta understood. After last night, Nick must have been the one hurting the most.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlright, then I\u2019ll visit in a few days. Khloe was very brave yesterday, but she must still be shaken\u2026 You take good care of her, alright? Both of you need to take care of each other.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Her voice carried a trace of worry. Nick\u2019s tone today had been unusually low, hinting at lingering unease.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The family knew he had seen a psychiatrist, but Loretta and Leon had only learned the full details last night. They knew that as a child, Nick had suffered psychological trauma, which had made him withdrawn and emotionally distant,\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Only George and Arista knew the full story: once, Nick had had a conflict that caused him to briefly lose control, later diagnosed as post-traumatic stress. In extreme, unconscious moments, he could become violently aggressive.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It had been after this incident that Nick called off his engagement with Michelle. At that time, Loretta and Leon were abroad.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>1\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>+25 Bonus\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>To save himself from any humiliation, George had kept the matter under wraps, consulting a doctor privately. The diagnosis confirmed that while Nick\u2019s behavior was uncontrollable, it was extremely rare and only under severe emotional distress-he was not truly a madman.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Yet even so, the situation had left George deeply disappointed. He couldn\u2019t bear the idea of a madman in the Hunt family-least of all, his own son. How could the child his beloved deceased wife had risked everything to give birth to end up so weak?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A few traumas didn\u2019t justify giving in and letting himself spiral into madness.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>George couldn\u2019t understand it. After that, he stopped interfering with Nick\u2019s marital affairs and instead focused solely on his career. Their communication, once easing, had returned to tension, laced with suspicion and scrutiny.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Everyone said Nick feared his father.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But in truth, Georg<\/p>\n<h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Billionaire\u2019s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 419 Advertisement Read Billionaire&#039;s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 419 \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-26940","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\/26940","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=26940"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26940\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26940"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26940"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26940"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
