FreeGoodNovelChapter 115 Chapter 115: Jealousy flared in Eric's chest, an intense, burning sensation that he couldn't shake. “Khloe, you'll eventually ccrawling back to me." The crowd watched in silence as the figure in the car whisked Khloe away.
As soon as Khloe slid into the car, she could feel the man next to her practically radiating with barely contained anger. Had she somehow done something to upset him? "What happened? Was the meeting not a success today?" Khloe asked.
Henrik had planned to go with Khloe to the university, but a sudden phone call pulled him away for an urgent matter. Although Khloe didn't know the details, she could see the tension on Henrik's face after he ended the call.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRealizing he was already stressed, Khloe decided not to burden Henrik with anything unnecessary.
Rather than responding to her, he changed the topic. "You went to the university today, knowing Sloane would deal with you. You used it to your advantage, tarnishing her reputation at Zhecrora University." That had indeed been Khloe's original plan, though she hadn't mentioned it to Henrik.
Hearing Henrik's words, Khloe quickly understood he was upset about her not telling him the full truth.
"I didn't mean to keep this from you. It's just that I noticed how swamped you were today. I figured dealing with Sloane was trivial. I didn't want to add to your stress by bringing it up," Khloe explained sincerely.
Henrik could tell Khloe genuinely meant it, and she just wanted to spare him the trouble. Yet, he couldn't shake the discomfort. To him, her actions felt distant, as if she were keeping him at arm's length.
Henrik was usually so caught up in both his legitimate business and underworld dealings that finding a moment to himself was rare. But today, the moment his meeting wrapped up, he received word from his men that Khloe had gotten herself into skind of trouble and was at the police station.
The idea of her being all alone, without even reaching out for help, stirred an unexplainable frustration within him.

She paused, and a headache began to form as she thought it through. During the earlier incident, it was likely that no one outside had noticed Henrik, or if they had, they wouldn't have been able to recognize him.
However, Henrik must have seen Eric and Clinton at the station. Henrik understood what was happening with Eric, but Khloe was anxious about explaining why Clinton had been there. Given Henrik's sharp mind, he must have seen Clinton's intentions clearly. Khloe wondered if Henrik's attention to Clinton's behavior was fueled by possessiveness.
Was that the reason for the heavy tension between them now? Khloe didn't feel comfortable bringing it up Π with him, though.
While their relationship was friendly, there were still lines of politeness that needed to be respected, and she wasn't sure if it was the right moment to cross them. She was cautious not to overstep, aware that being Henrik's fiancée didn't give her license to act recklessly.
Khloe sat there, trying to figure out how to put her thoughts into words. Henrik, on the other hand, remained silent beside her, tapping his fingers on the steering wheel. The sound was like the ticking of a clock, making her feel more on edge. mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
