Billionaire's Match (Khloe and Nick Hunt) novel Chapter 656

Chapter 656

Nick watched Khloe in silence, his gaze heavy and intent, as if he wanted to see through every subtle change in her expression.

Khloe caught sight of him from the corner of her eye and felt a flicker of guilt.

She was about to speak again when Nick suddenly lifted his hand. His warm palm brushed gently against her cheek.

“Khloe,” he finally said. His voice had grown even lower, carrying a tenderness he was struggling to restrain. “Do you know that when you lie, your eyelashes flutter very fast?”

Her lashes trembled again at once, like startled butterfly wings.

“Nick…”

Her heart sank. Had she been found out?

The worry in his eyes only made her more unsettled.

It wasn’t that she insisted on hiding it from him. She just knew his temperament too well and was afraid he would make rash, extreme decisions to protect her and the baby.

“You didn’t let the doctor examine you because you were afraid I’d get jealous, right?”

Khloe froze for a few seconds. Then she gave an awkward smile. “So you noticed…”

“I know you care a lot about how I feel,” Nick said. “But I’m not that sensitive or unreasonable.

He leaned closer as he spoke, and a faint blush rose on his own cheeks.

When the doctor had reached for Khloe’s wrist earlier, his eyes had been fixed on her the whole time. He was the one being dishonest with himself.

It wasn’t that Khloe disliked being touched by the doctor-it was that his possessiveness toward her had grown increasingly intense.

Even when it was a doctor, the moment he saw another man touching her, examining her, his nerves tightened, and he felt deeply uncomfortable. 1

Khloe’s body-every inch of it-belonged to him. Only he could look at her, touch her, hold her.

Seeing the faint red on the rims of his ears, the breath Khloe had been holding finally eased. She couldn’t help but find it amusing.

She didn’t hold it in and laughed softly,

“What are you laughing at?” Nick frowned.

“Nothing… I just think you’re kind of cute.”

She spoke quietly and lifted her eyes to him again. A soft, shimmering light surfaced in her gaze, making his throat tighten as he felt the urge to kiss her.

Seeing him draw closer, Khloe understood what he intended and couldn’t help but close her eyes.

Just then, the door was suddenly pushed open. Khloe instinctively shoved Nick’s face away and jumped to her feet.

The push was too abrupt. A rush of cold air hit Nick’s chest, and he immediately began coughing.

Alarmed, Khloe turned to check on him, but her footing slipped. She fell straight into his arms.

Her lips happened to land on his cool mouth.

Nick’s solid chest took the unexpected impact. To keep her from moving around in his arms, he pressed down with his arm, holding her in place.

At the doorway, Arista turned her head away awkwardly. “Ah… sorry to interrupt. I just wanted to say… the email got a reply.”

She cleared her throat, annoyed with herself for not knocking first.

The doctor had only just left, and yet they were already so impatient…
