Billionaire's Match (Khloe and Nick Hunt) novel Chapter 693

Chapter 693

Now, Noah couldn’t be sure how much time was left.

Noah reported the situation honestly. Nick immediately turned to Khloe. “Khloe, take Ryan and get off the bus. Go somewhere safe.”

“No… no, I want to stay with you…” Khloe said without a second thought.

Before she could finish, Nick pressed his lips to hers in a deep, lingering kiss. It was bitter, like a farewell.

Khloe struggled for a moment, and he gently nibbled her lower lip-not hard enough to hurt, just enough to ground her.

“For the baby, and for me, you have to protect yourself now.”

He cupped her face, fingers threading through her hair. “When it comes to those who would hurt us, we cannot be soft. We cannot give up. You’ve always been strong. You will continue to be strong.”

The more Nick spoke, the harder it was for Khloe to stay composed.

At that moment, a dazzling set of headlights cut through the darkness.

Ryan flinched and ducked behind Noah. “Noah… is it them again? The ones who tried to kill me?”

Khloe and the others followed the light. Noah raised his gun-but then, someone on the bus

raised their hands and called out her name.

“Sir! Madam! It’s me!”

It wasn’t Clarice’s people-it was Lenny.

After ensuring Arista’s safety, Lenny had rushed to find Nick and Khloe.

Nick’s positioning signal hadn’t been precise. When contact was lost, Lenny had no choice but to search along the approximate location until he found the bus,

“Lenny.” Nick saw him and immediately instructed, “Take Khloe and the witness away.”

Lenny didn’t fully understand the situation, but seeing Khloe’s tear-streaked face, he sensed the danger,

“Sir… you-

At that moment, Noah’s signal receiver buzzed. I had been recovered from the fallen man–it was a tracking device, meant to communicate with the organization.

They had just sent the location; reinforcements were likely on the way.

They were armed. The police hadn’t arrived, the professional rescue team hadn’t arrived, and Nick was still trapped.

The most rational choice was to get Khloe off the bus first.

Noah relayed the situation, echoing Nick. “I can evacuate last. Khloe, listen to your husband and leave now.”

Nick spoke again, “Khloe, if you stay here, neither Noah nor I can focus. For the baby, and for my peace of mind, go wait for me, okay?”

Khloe clutched his hand, torn by despair.

“Promise me. No matter what, you will come back. I’ll wait with the baby.”

She dug her fingers into his palm, teeth clenched tears blurring her vision again.

“All right.” Nick nodded, then looked at Lenny. “Take her away.”
