Billionaire's Match (Khloe and Nick Hunt) novel Chapter 754

"I'll agree to your marriage."

At last, Oscar spoke in a deep voice.

Khloe immediately looked toward the two of them. Hope ignited in both Winnie's and Michael's eyes.

But in the very next moment, Oscar said coldly, "When I'm dead."

His gaze swept over Michael. In it was not only disappointment, but also an indescribable coldness.

After delivering those words, Oscar turned and walked away without another glance. His resolute attitude left even Khloe stunned.

But Khloe only froze for a moment before quickly turning back to help Michael and Winnie to their feet.

Winnie lowered her head, her cheeks flushed red, her expression so defeated it seemed she might burst into tears at any moment.

Michael knew her better than anyone. His heart ached for her. Without hesitation, he pulled her into his arms and gently patted her back in comfort.

"You silly girl," he murmured softly. "Why would you do something like that? I know my father's temper better than you do. We're both just as stubborn."

Michael let out a quiet sigh.

But Winnie couldn't hold it in any longer. The moment she leaned into his chest, her tears spilled uncontrollably.

Watching the two of them, Khloe felt her own nose sting. She had never been good at witnessing scenes like this. Now that she was pregnant, it affected her even more.

"Winnie, Michael, don't be upset," she said gently. "Uncle Oscar probably just spoke out of anger. Arguing with him right now won't help. Just stay at Morrison Group and focus on your work. Whatever Uncle Oscar plans to do, I'll handle it."

After comforting Winnie for a while, Michael turned to look at Khloe.

"I understand my father. He always has to win. That's how things ended between him and my mother, too." He paused before continuing calmly. "And honestly, he's not entirely wrong. I've benefited from everything the Morrison family gave me, yet now, I want to live according to my own wishes. He has the right not to accept us.

Though the words lacked confidence, they carried genuine determination.

Michael leaned down and kissed her cheek. "Alright."

Watching the two of them so affectionate with each other, Khloe felt most of her earlier worries slowly fade. A faint smile tugged at her lips.

She had always believed that although Winnie and Michael loved each other, their personalities and perspectives were too different. Being together would only leave them more wounded.

But now she realized something. A good partner could make a person grow almost overnight. Even under the immense pressure Oscar had just placed on them, Winnie had not chosen to run away.

Khloe picked up Michael's employee badge from the desk.

"Since you've both made up your minds, I won't force you to stay. But setting aside the Morrison family, I still have plenty of connections of my own. I can introduce you to some clients. Oscar can't control that, can he?"

Michael accepted the offer gladly. He had already planned to start his own projects. The only thing he lacked was startup capital—and lately, he had been seeking investors everywhere.
