Billionaire's Match

Chapter 656

Nick watched Khloe in silence, his gaze heavy and intent, as if he wanted to see through every subtle change in her expression.

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.

"Do you know that when you lie, your eyelashes flutter very fast?" Her lashes trembled again at once, like startled butterfly wings.

"Nick." Her heart sank.

Had she been found out? The worry in his eyes only made her more unsettled.

It wasn't that she insisted on hiding it from him.

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

"You didn't let the doctor examine you because you were afraid I'd get jealous, right?" Khloe froze for a few seconds.

Then she gave an awkward smile.
