Billionaire's Match (Khloe and Nick Hunt) novel Chapter 668

Chapter 668

It wasn’t until today that Khloe had deliberately mentioned Delilah to him.

Ralph had been teasing Khloe about wasting his affections, but she had brushed it off, telling him to cherish the person in front of him.

“Person in front of me? What person? I’m just a solitary man,” Ralph protested, utterly confused.

“You’re so exceptional,” Khloe said with a sigh, even if someone has admired you for years, they wouldn’t dare approach recklessly.”

Then she began to tease him, keeping the story tantalizingly vague. She described a young girl who had been captivated the moment she first saw him, silently watching over him, caring for him-an unrequited crush that had lasted three years.

Despite Ralph having interacted with her on many occasions, she had always quietly admired him from afar. In Khloe’s words, he flirted and then ran, utterly oblivious to the feelings around him.

“Who? I didn’t even know someone like that existed,” Ralph muttered, stunned.

It was true he had always devoted himself to work and academics, rarely engaging with women. Ambition had always been his focus, his interest drawn only to strong personalities, regardless of gender.

Even when family or friends introduced potential matches, there was rarely any connection. Romance simply hadn’t developed. So, the notion that he had been leading someone on? Preposterous.

“It’s Delilah,” Khloe finally revealed, ending the suspense. She smiled lightly. “You may not remember, but anyone who admires you remembers every frown, every smile, every movement.”

Having her feelings exposed by Khloe strangely relieved Delilah. She had nursed a secret cru on Ralph for years, believing it would remain locked inside forever. Yet now, the very person she had once envied-Khloe-had become someone she could confide in.

Khloe knew Delilah lacked confidence and wouldn’t dare pursue her ideal. She could only guide her this far. After telling Ralph, she refused to elaborate further, leaving the development of their relationship to the natural chemistry between them. If Ralph was curious enough, he would need to explore it patiently-but first, he had to notice the person right in front of him.

“You’ve been paying this much attention to me all along?” Ralph asked, gazing at Delilah, his brow furrowed,

Whether it was his queasy stomach or the echo of Khloe’s words, he felt a heavy weight in his chest. He had just experienced the sting of unrequited admiration firsthand, and could sympathize with Delilah’s feelings,

Delilah’s face flushed, her heart racing, and she found herself at a loss for words. She froze, staring at him until he downed the antidote pills in her hand and wiped his mouth with the napkin.

“Thank you,” he said.

“N-nothing… it’s part of my job,” Delilah stammered, her mind spinning. The usual phrases she could spout with ease felt scorching in her mouth tonight.

Why did his gaze and words feel so strange? Had he seen through her thoughts…?

Embarrassment flared hot in her cheeks.

“Uh… Master Henry asks me to be meticulous. I usually keep these on hand… and since you’re

a distinguished guest, taking care of you is part of my duty. Of course I’d attend to your needs…
