Billionaire's Match (Khloe and Nick Hunt) novel Chapter 1144

Michelle was caught off guard by Lenny's sudden confession.

She had always been at ease in matters of love, but when faced with someone like him—so earnest and innocent—she found herself completely at a loss.

None of her usual tactics worked.

When a sincere person lost control, it was far harder to resist.

Just then, her phone vibrated. It was her mother calling.

A flicker of nervousness crossed her face, but even as she answered, she didn't let go of Lenny.

"Mhm… I got it. I'll head back right away."

Her voice carried a light, cheerful tone as she spoke, hanging up soon after.

On the other end, her mother was momentarily baffled.

She knew something had happened on Nick's side, and Michelle's mood shouldn't have been good. She had called her to come home out of concern—but from her daughter's tone, Michelle sounded… surprisingly happy.

"Was that your mom?"

"Yeah. She told me to come home for dinner."

After a brief moment to cool down, both of them grew a little shy. Even Michelle's voice softened, turning almost sweet.

"Then… please send my regards to her," Lenny said after a moment's thought.

Michelle burst out laughing. "Send your regards? What exactly are you to me, that you're greeting my mom?"

Lenny looked embarrassed. "I… you're right. I misspoke."

Michelle smiled, amused. "You didn't. If you're going to be with me, you'll have to greet her eventually. It's just… not the right time yet."

Lenny looked at her, his expression complicated. "But your parents… probably wouldn't want you to be with me.

"And if they don't agree—and decide to make things difficult for you—are you afraid?"

Lenny shook his head. "If you're not afraid, then I have nothing to be afraid of."

"In that case, how do you plan to convince them?"

"I can only treat you well and do my best to earn their approval. If they think I'm lacking somewhere, I'll work to improve it. Aside from my background, which I can't change, everything else—I can try."
