Chapter 1119
Khloe quickly turned her face away. “I already said it-we’re over. Everything between you and me is in the past.”
“Come back with me. I don’t care if there’s someone else in your heart… None of that matters. I can do better.” Nick lowered his voice again. He reached for her hand once more, but she avoided him again.
At last, she lifted her head and met his gaze-those eyes already on the edge of despair, staring straight
at her.
“Nick, you said you wouldn’t stop me from choosing the path I want to take…”
“But he doesn’t truly love you! He’s already hurt you before-” Panic finally broke through Nick’s restraint. He urgently searched her expression, desperate for an answer-one answer he could never convince himself to accept.
Trey, smiling faintly, slipped an arm around Khloe.
“Nick, deep devotion has never been useful. Besides, you need to be alive to give her happiness, don’t you? Don’t forget-she’s still carrying your child… someone has to take care of that.”
Khloe shot him a sharp, furious glare. She only wanted Nick to give up and leave, but Trey kept deliberately provoking him, pushing every boundary.
And Nick was indeed pushed to his limit.
Before he could say anything else, his body suddenly folded forward. He clutched his mouth tightly. His emotions had been too intense, and his body was already at its breaking point.
Finally, he couldn’t hold it back any longer. A mouthful of blood spilled out.
Khloe froze in panic. Forgetting everything else, she rushed forward to support him.
“What’s wrong…?”
But Nick grabbed her wrist tightly. Struggling to lift his head, he asked in a strained voice,
“Khloe… I’ll ask you one last time… are you coming with me or not?”
His breathing was ragged. Blood still traced the corner of his lips.
She hesitated.
Seeing him in such pain, for a fleeting moment, she felt as if she herself deserved to die.
After a long silence, she finally spoke.
“Sorry…”
The light in Nick’s eyes dimmed bit by bit. He released her arm.

She pulled out a tissue, trying to wipe the blood from his lips, but he turned away.
Using his fingers, he wiped it himself, letting out a low, hollow laugh.
“If this is your choice,” he said hoarsely, “then I hope… you never regret it.”
His eyes were red, glistening with unshed tears.
And when he finished speaking, he stood up.
Without another look at her, he brushed past her and left.
Khloe froze for a moment, then turned around immediately.
This time, Nick meant what he said. He didn’t stop. The door slammed shut with a heavy thud.
Her chest tightened instantly, followed by a surge of emptiness and sorrow so deep it nearly crushed her.
He had finally said it.
Good. He had finally given up completely-he would no longer be troubled by her.
That was good. Now her plan could continue smoothly…
A faint curve appeared at the corner of her lips, but tears were already streaming uncontrollably down
her face.
Watching her, Trey felt an unexpected irritation rise in his chest.
He should have felt satisfaction-seeing them fall apart like this. And yet, thinking that she had gone this far for another man made that satisfaction sour and hollow.
“Khloe, you don’t understand men,” he said coldly. “Even if you saved him, you’ve already torn his pride and his heart apart. He won’t be grateful. From now on… he’ll only hate you.”
