Billionaire's Match (Khloe and Nick Hunt) novel Chapter 970

Chapter 970

Noah finally lifted his gaze to meet Charlotte’s. Their eyes locked, both shimmering with unspoken

emotion.

Charlotte’s brow was furrowed, tense with thought, but Noah’s lips held a gentle, quiet smile.

“Maybe in times of crisis, you’ve felt some reliance on me,” he began. “I know I seem stronger than most men, more reliable…”

Charlotte suddenly understood the direction he was heading. She didn’t speak, only watched him,

waiting.

He continued, “But I have many flaws. My education isn’t extensive. I’m not as smart as a university graduate like you. I don’t know much about social etiquette, and I’ve never worked in society or learned how to earn a living the hard way.

“Sure, I can handle myself physically, but that doesn’t mean I’d be good at taking care of someone, or being a good partner, or a husband.”

“Noah, I understand what you’re saying…”

Charlotte’s expression darkened. Suddenly, she didn’t want to hear any more. She rose to leave, but Noah caught her arm firmly.

“No, you don’t understand what I mean,” he said. He leaned closer, his body rising slightly to envelop her in his broad shadow.

“What I want to say isn’t about refusing you. I’m serious when I say this-I sincerely hope… we can love

each other.”

Charlotte’s heart jolted. Her pupils dilated as she finally saw the tenderness lingering in his gaze,

Her lips parted slightly, still only half understanding his meaning. Facing Noah, her mind seemed to stall; every thought, every reaction frozen. She could only let him lead her, as if she had no choice.

The sensation left her strangely unsettled.

He continued, “I never thought someone would like me. And I never imagined what I’d do if I actually liked someone… Until just now, when you asked if I’d get jealous, I realized I owe you an explanation.

“You want to confirm my feelings-that’s my fault. You’ve already made your intentions clear, and yet I failed to respond properly.”

Each word fell like a gentle weight into Charlotte’s ears, sinking deep into her heart. Slowly, the crease between her brows softened. Her long lashes fluttered, and her eyes glimmered with unshed tears as she gazed at him.

“Then tell me now… how you feel about me,” she whispered, her breathing light.

Noah’s Adam’s apple moved as he swallowed, then he continued, “Charlotte, my decision to stay was impulsive. In hindsight, it might not have been wise. But Khloe told me that only the impulsive things reveal true feelings.

“I used to think love could be restrained, but I’ve tried-and I can’t. I really like you. I want to be with you.

“But we haven’t known each other long, and I don’t want this feeling to be shallow and hurt you. I want you to understand me slowly, and I want to get closer to you, to protect you properly.”

So that was it.

Hearing his words, Charlotte’s heart raced. She had judged him correctly. Every word he spoke was sincere, so sincere that it made her feel her own feelings were pale in comparison.

She reached out, pressing her hand to the back of his neck, letting her lips brush against his high, straight nose.

“So, are you jealous or not?” she asked, half teasing.
