Chapter 484:
Henrik matched her pace, responding simply, “I missed you.” He kept the real reason to himself—the concern
over Eric and Clinton being at the event and the potential trouble they could cause for Khloe had sparked his
impromptu visit, fueled by a hint of jealousy.
Khloe stopped and turned with a smile. “Feeling jealous?”
Under the dim evening light, Khloe’s stunning appearance took Henrik’s breath away.
“No, I'm not one to get jealous over my nephews,” Henrik replied smoothly.
As he moved to place his arm around Khloe’s waist, Clinton suddenly called out to her from behind, disrupting
the moment.
“Khloe, wait a moment.”
Clinton's interruption was loud enough to make Khloe step away, blocking Henrik’s embrace. A flash of
annoyance crossed Henrik’s eyes due to Clinton's untimely presence.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHow had he never realized just how annoying Clinton could be?
Clinton stood near a fountain outside the venue, his eyes fixed on Khloe as she turned to him. Enlightened by the
lights, her presence seemed almost supernatural, reaffirming his intent to pursue her.
Being with a woman like Khloe was a rare opportunity that Clinton couldn't let slip away. He was resolute in his
desire to be with her, no matter the cost.
As Clinton hurried over, Khloe faced him with a look of cool indifference. “What do you need?”
Clinton, frustrated by her aloofness, suggested, “I have something important about Uncle Henrik that affects
your future. If, after hearing it, you still choose to stand by him, I'll never bother you again. But for your own
happiness, you deserve to know this.”
Henrik’s secret?
Khloe instinctively looked at Henrik. His expression remained calm, his eyes dark and unreadable, giving nothing
away.

But since Clinton had brought it up and Henrik didn’t stop him, Khloe couldn’t help but feel intrigued.
“This matter is rather sensitive. There's a quiet meeting room near the fountain. Let’s go there,” Clinton
suggested, gesturing toward a nearby room. Its simplicity added to the calm atmosphere, and with a floor-to-
ceiling glass window, it offered a peaceful, private space.
Since it involved Henrik’s secret, Khloe thought it would be better to discuss it privately, especially with him
present to avoid any misunderstandings. She gave a small nod. “Okay, let's go inside and talk.”
Khloe and Clinton entered the meeting room. Henrik was about to follow when Clinton raised his hand, stopping
him. “This is a private conversation. You can wait outside.”
Henrik’s sharp gaze flicked over to Clinton, noting the boldness of his nephew. However, when he noticed Khloe’s
playful smile behind Clinton, he restrained himself. Although he had just dealt with Conroy publicly and didn't
mind exposure, he realized it could complicate things for Khloe.
Weighing the consequences, he decided to stand by the door, keeping his eyes on Khloe through the transparent
glass, ensuring he could see everything without entering.
Finally, Clinton shut the door and sat down in front of Khloe, his tone deadly serious. “You can’t tell Uncle Henrik |
told you this. If you do, | might be putting my life in danger.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSeeing him so solemn made Khloe’s curiosity spike. Though she didn’t interact with him often, she could tell he
was ambitious and bold. What kind of news could make him act so cautiously?
“Of course, | won't say anything to Henrik,” Khloe agreed. However, Clinton had just spoken those words in
Henrik’s presence, so Khloe wasn’t the one leaking this information.
Clinton took a deep breath and lowered his voice. “Uncle Henrik has a disease, a terminal one. He doesn’t have
much tleft.”
