The butler approached with the wine, but Henrik waved him off, taking the bottle into his own hands. The butler, understanding the unspoken message, nodded and instructed the rest of the staff to leave the room.
Soon, the house was quiet, with only Henrik and Khloe remaining.
The air thickened with tension as Henrik broke the silence. "You ended up at the police station today and didn't think to call me?" Khloe flashed a quick, apologetic smile before replying, "It was just a little trouble, nothing serious. I could handle it on my own, and I didn't want to bother you." Henrik's gaze was steady as he replied, "You didn't want to bother me, but you allowed Clinton to get involved?" So, this was all about Henrik's possessiveness. Khloe took a sip of her red wine and explained, "Clinton happened to be there; I didn't ask for his help."

He reached out, gently brushing his fingers through her hair in a soft, reassuring gesture. “I know you have your own plans, but I can't help worrying about you." Khloe paused, surprised by the tenderness in his touch, and the tension in her body eased just a little. “Don't worry. I won't put myself in a situation I can't get out of," she said, her voice less resolute.
Henrik nodded, his hand gliding from her hair to her cheek, stroking it. "Promise me, when danger strikes, you'll ctofirst. Don't forget, you're my fiancée.” Khloe bit her lip, pausing for a moment before finally nodding. “Okay." It was only then that Henrik gave a small smile. Khloe felt the warmth of his palm against her skin, and her heart began to race uncontrollably. She pushed his hand away.
