Chapter 684
“And what if it’s a boy?” Khloe teased, poking the bridge of Nick’s sharp nose. “Just like you— tall, handsome, and gentle to the bone.”
Nick said, “A boy should be like you, too. If he takes after his mother, he’ll be even more remarkable-smarter and finer in every way.”
Khloe bit her lip, unable to hide the smile creeping across her face.
“Don’t think I don’t hear you just flattering me.”
“I’m telling the truth,” he replied.
Suddenly, Khloe’s brow furrowed, and she let out a soft, startled “Eh!”
Nick’s hand froze midair, breath caught in his throat.
“What’s wrong? Are you uncomfortable… Did the baby kick?” he asked, alarmed.
“I think… I felt the baby move just now!” she whispered.
A flash of joy lit up his eyes, his voice trembling with excitement he didn’t even realize he
“Really? Right now?”
“Now… maybe the baby’s scared of daddy, so it’s not moving anymore.”
“Ah?”
Khloe couldn’t help laughing at the sight of him, staring at her belly like it were a battlefield.
“Just teasing you,” she said.
Rue… Nash. Khloe repeated the names silently, smiling to herself.
“Good. We’ll go with those,” she said, leaning into him. “Baby, did you hear that? Daddy has already picked your names. Be a good little one, and come to us safely.”
Nick held her close, silent, but his chest swelled with a happiness too deep for words. They would have a long life ahead, watching their children grow. But even if he died tonight, he would feel no regret.
Outside, night deepened. Lamps across the old town flickered out one by one, the streets falling into peaceful silence. The soft light in the room wrapped around the two of them, casting a warm, serene silhouette by the window
But the tranquility was broken by the shrill ring of a phone.
It was the front desk. Nick had left a tip earlier and asked them to notify him immediately Ryan returned.
“Got it,” Nick said, hanging up, though his expression had darkened noticeably.
