Chapter 9 What Is She Trying to Do?
Rumbling! In the quiet ward, Kate’s stomach suddenly growled. Eric paused his movements and glanced at Kate. Then he gestured for George to bring the breakfast over. Just now, he was a little out of control and had forgotten about breakfast. It was only when he heard Kate’s stomach growl that he remembered they hadn’t eaten breakfast yet. George had prepared a light breakfast, mostly catered to Kate’s preferences. Kate stared blankly. Her eyes reddened again, feeling touched and distressed. In her past life, she had never had a good relationship with Eric. But even so, Eric remembered all her favourite foods and always prepared them for her. Eric didn’t like sweet food, but Kate did. Picking up a croissant, Kate carefully blew on it. When it was just the right temperature, she handed it to Eric’s mouth and said, “Honey, try this. It’s delicious.” Eric didn’t speak or open his mouth. He simply stared deeply at Kate. His eyes were dark and unfathomable, making it impossible to tell his true emotions. However, the aura surrounding him was always cold and hard. On the side, George felt incredibly nervous and tense. Mr. Davison never eats something sweet, doesn’t Ms. Lowe know? Is she trying to provoke Mr. Davison by doing this? Why does this woman always act recklessly and offend Mr. Davison? Every time she quarreled with Mr. Davison, it was the subordinates who suffered. Seeing Eric’s aura getting chiller, George couldn’t help but want to intervene, but he saw Eric suddenly open his mouth and bite into the croissant. George was stunned. His eyes widened suddenly. “Is it delicious?” Kate looked at Eric expectantly, waiting for his response. Met with her expectant eyes, Eric strangely felt that the sweet taste was not so hard to accept. He frowned and said, “Hmm, too sweet.” Kate also bit into the same spot that Eric had bitten. She said with a smile, “Eating something sweet will improve your mood.” Eric’s deep eyes fell on Kate’s bulging mouth, a hint of strangeness flashing in his eyes. He didn’t expect Kate to share the food with him. She even bit into the same spot he had bitten. Didn’t she used to dislike his touch? This time she took the initiative to kiss him and shared the same croissant with him, but there was no trace of disgust in her expression. Eric withdrew his gaze without saying a word. She just picked up a glass of milk and drank it with a cold expression. However, even the simple act of drinking porridge exuded an inexplicable sense of oppression on him, as if this milk was not food but his enemy. Watching Eric drink his milk with a cold face, Kate felt a pang of agony in her heart. She remembered that Eric had a serious eating disorder. However, this man had strong self-control, including toward himself. Therefore, he would force himself to eat three meals a day. When they had just gotten married, Eric would come home and eat with her. But after she had thrown a few tantrums and flipped a few tables, Eric never ate with her again. She had also learned from the servants that he had a serious eating disorder. In her past life, George had even begged her to eat with Eric, but she had directly refused. “Ric, drinking milk alone isn’t nutritious. You need to eat some sandwiches too.” Kate picked up the sandwich for Eric with her fork, then smiled at him. The look in her eyes was one of anticipation. On the other hand, George was sweating heavily. He was frightened by Kate’s actions. What is this woman attempting to accomplish? Mr. Davison could hardly stomach a glass of milk, but this woman is persistently offer him sandwhich! Isn’t she aware that he dislike such things? “Mr. Davison … ” George quickly interjected, intending to ask if Eric required another glass of milk. However, before he could complete his sentence, he witnessed Eric calmly consuming the sandwich and shot him a cold stare. “Hmm?”
