Billionaire's Match (Khloe and Nick Hunt) novel Chapter 1142

Lenny's ears were already flushed red. He clenched his teeth and continued, "It wasn't because I lost control from drinking—it was… because feelings for someone can't be controlled.

"I even thought it through. If you were willing, then even if your family wanted my life, it would be worth it…

"I never dared ask for anything. That night was the first time I lost my head… I couldn't bring myself to let go of someone I liked."

Michelle felt a jolt in her chest. Light flickered in her eyes as a smile slowly surfaced.

She had really thought this man was a block of wood… turns out, push him a little, and he could speak quite well.

Just as she was about to respond, Lenny spoke again.

"But when I woke up the next morning, I knew I was wrong. What was beautiful to me… was just a mistake to you. I know I was overthinking it."

His voice carried a trace of self-mockery. "If you find me unpleasant, Miss Keller, I can stay out of your sight from now on. Once the boss recovers, I can disappear from Goldmont City entirely. And if you regret that night and want me to make amends in any way, just say it. As long as I can do it, I will—"

"Then I want you to die. Will you?"

Michelle cut him off, her tone suddenly cold.

Lenny froze, clearly taking her seriously.

After a moment's hesitation, he asked, "Is that what it would take for you to let me go, Miss Keller?"

Michelle crossed her arms and nodded. "That's right. If it were just a mistake, then it should be erased completely. As long as you're still around, I won't be able to get past it."

"Alright."

"Alright?"

Lenny looked at her steadily, as if making an immense decision. Even his eyes had reddened.

"I have no family, no attachments. If this would make you happy, then I can do it. But I still have many things left unfinished. Please give me one year."

After his words fell, Michelle didn't respond for a long time.

People moved in and out of the hospital entrance, noise all around—but between the two of them, everything seemed to fall still.

It took Michelle a while to come back to herself. Then she let out a soft, incredulous laugh.
