Billionaire's Match

Chapter 656

Khloe caught sight of him from the corner of her eye and felt a flicker of guilt.

She was about to speak again when Nick suddenly lifted his hand.

His warm palm brushed gently against her cheek "Khloe," he finally said.

His voice had grown even lower, carrying a tenderness he was struggling to restrain.

She just knew his temperament too well and was afraid he would make rash, extreme decisions to protect her and the baby.
