He raised his head, his eyes glistening with desperation. "Khloe, I know I messed up. But can you find it in your heart to give the Evans family another chance? For the sake of what we once had?" Khloe let out a cold laugh, her gaze sharp and unforgiving. "For the sake of what we once had? All I got from you was pain. And now you're here, pleading? Don't you think it's far too late for that?" Sloane cut in, "Khloe, we know we've made mistakes. Please, I beg you, spare the Evans family." Her tone was laced with a faint sob, hoping to sway her.

Once they were back in the car, Henrik reached for Khloe's hand. Her hand felt as cold as ice.
Cutting all connections with the Evans family, despite viewing them as enemies, left Khloe feeling uneasy. Henrik recognized that feeling-he had experienced something similar himself. Khloe glanced up and locked eyes with Henrik, who spoke slowly. "This marks a new chapter for you. Congratulations." His words sent a tremor through Khloe's heart, bringing her a sudden sense of clarity.
"Thank you," she said with heartfelt sincerity.
She wasn't just thanking him for standing by her today, but also for the kindness in his words that touched her deeply. Their gazes lingered, the moment charged with an unspoken understanding.
But just then, an ill-timed phone call cut through the atmosphere.

Instead, he picked up, and a lively, elderly voice greeted him. "I heard you defended your fiancée today. Sounds like it caused quite a commotion." Henrik's tone was calm as he responded, "Letguess-you want to reprimandfor Harold's sake?" "Huh? Not at all. Now hurry up and bring your fiancée over to meet me." Khloe recognized the voice on the phone-it was Morris. Morris Watson, the man who held the Watson family together, the one who built their vast empire from the ground up. And now, he was asking to meet her.
Khloe turned to Henrik, her eyes filled with curiosity and confusion. She had already found it strange earlier. The way Harold spoke to Henrik didn't feel like how one would address sdistant relative of the family. Sure, Henrik's status alone was enough to make people fawn over him, but this was different.
What exactly was Henrik's status in the Watson family? At first, Henrik seemed ready to say no. But when he caught Khloe's curious look, he changed his mind. It wasn't that he wanted to go, but he realized this could be a chance for her to get to know him better and for him to continue solidifying his claim.
Covering the phone with his hand, Henrik leaned closer, his voice low and gentle. "Do you want to go? Morris wants to meet you."
Khloe blinked in surprise. She hadn't expected Henrik to consult her about this. She had already accepted m e meeting Morris as her duty to play the role of Henrik's fiancée. But Henrik's inquiry made her feel quite comfortable.
