Chapter 88

Chapter 88 Gladly Accept Everything

In the end, it was Eric who firmly pulled Kate off him.

His dark eyes lingered on her pouty lips for a long time before he suppressed the urge to kiss her.

Kate, feeling aggrieved, clung to Eric’s arm in silence.

Deep down, she was elated.

When she had hugged him tightly just now, she had clearly sensed Eric’s physical response.

Eric’s love for her was always restrained and controlled. Even in her previous life, he had never revealed his true feelings, only loving her in his strong and domineering way. Everything he did was for her benefit, yet she never appreciated it, always seeing Eric as a terrifyingly ruthless

person.

Suppressing the turmoil in his heart, Eric cast a cold glance at Lucas. “I’m docking you a month’s pay,” he declared.

Lucas said nothing about the punishment.

His face fell, but he didn’t regret it.

Yes, he was the one who tipped Kate off about Eric’s flight.

Eric had intended to avoid Kate after the incident at the Emperor Hotel. However, Lucas was well aware that Kate had changed.

Moreover, during the days in Belford, Eric had hardly eaten properly. Concerned about his boss’s health, Lucas decisively informed Kate,

Listening to Eric’s words, Kate couldn’t help but smile wryly. She teased, “Eric, you’re so bossy.

“Lucas did it for your own good. I heard you haven’t been eating well in Belford. Didn’t I tell you to eat properly? You never listen.

“Your stomach has always been weak. You can’t keep neglecting it like this.”

Kate’s gentle voice nagged at Eric.

As Kate chattered on, Eric didn’t find her nagging annoying at all. Instead, he felt a bit lost in thought, a warm feeling spreading from his heart.

How long had it been since someone had nagged him like this?

Ever since he became the feared president of Davison Group, everyone has been terrified of him, too afraid to even breathe loudly, let alone nag him..

His mere presence repelled most people.

Chapter 88 Gladly Accept Everything

“Eric, are you listening to me?”

Noticing Eric’s slight distraction, Kate pouted and gently shook his arm to act cute.

“I’m listening.”

Eric snapped back to attention, his voice hoarse as he replied.

“Then I’ll take you to lunch. And don’t dock Lucas’s pay; you should give him a raise instead.”

Kate clung to his arm and smiled warmly at him.

Eric pressed his fingers to the center of his brows and felt strangely flustered. He muttered a faint grunt.

He suddenly found himself at a loss for how to deal with this version of Kate.

She was warm, like a little sun, so different from how she used to be.

He had grown accustomed to Kate’s cold demeanour, her arguing, her tantrums, her throwing things, and her malice towards him.

Ever since she stabbed him, everything has changed.

Eric couldn’t see through her anymore.

He didn’t know if Kate felt guilty after stabbing him and wanted to make it up to him, or if she was deliberately deceiving him to gain his trust, only to leave him when he let his guard down.

But regardless of which it was…

Eric lowered his gaze.

His heart pounded violently, each beat filled with joy.

He thought.

If one day she truly decided to leave me, I would completely lose my mind.

If one day she wanted my life, I would…

Gladly give it to her.

Kate, I’ll accept all the disasters you brought upon me.
