Chapter 116 You’re So Kind
Eric couldn’t quite figure out his feelings.
When he saw Kate looking at him with a pleading gaze and speaking softly, he instinctively responded. with a quiet “Yeah.”
He knew he was wrong now. Even if he intended to deal with Darlene and her friends, he should
have chosen a time when Kate wasn’t around.
After all, insulting his Kate and even considering laying hands on her was unforgivable!
But when Kate told them to scram, Eric instinctively went along with her wishes.
Kate smiled gently, holding Eric’s large hand, her eyes full of sincerity. “Ric, you’re so kind to me.”
Eric’s mind went blank in an instant, and he stood there dumbfounded.
Kate said… I’m so kind to her.
While it wasn’t the first time he had heard such words, every time Eric heard them, he felt like his heart was about to leap out of his chest.
His Kate finally accepted his kindness, and everything was slowly moving in the direction he had hoped for.
Yet, no matter how capable and decisive Eric was in any situation, he always felt powerless and slightly insecure when facing Kate.
Was he really that kind? Despite what people said about him being ruthless and a total madman, there were those who still followed the faint traces of his past. Both sides constantly baited each other and waited to strike at the first sign of trouble.
After all, those who wiped out his entire family back then would never allow any trace of that bloodline to remain in this world…
Eric couldn’t help but think about these things, feeling deeply conflicted inside.
Kate’s warmth and brightness drew him in, making him want to wholeheartedly offer his heart to her. Yet, he feared that his love and protection might inadvertently put her in even greater danger.
And what worried him most was the possibility that Kate had been deceiving him all along.
Perhaps she just wanted a legitimate reason to leave Summer Estate and get closer to Simon.
It seemed like she was setting a trap with a strategy of feigned vulnerability, using herself as bait to lure him in and make him fall deeply before striking a fatal blow when he couldn’t escape.
But what did it matter?

If Kale was manipulating me… I’m okay with it.
He couldn’t help but follow his heart that always leaned towards Kate.
Kate wasn’t aware of the whirlwind of emotions in Eric’s heart, but she could see the depth of his feelings in his eyes.
The atmosphere between them suddenly turned ambiguous. Eric’s eyes were deep, focusing solely on Kate, while she felt a warmth rising in her throat. She looked at his impeccably handsome face and his eyes filled with deep affection, unconsciously leaning closer towards him.
The distance between them narrowed, as if Kate could kiss Eric’s slightly cool lips at any moment.
However….
The untimely sound of footsteps echoed.
“Excuse me, here are your dishes.”
The waiter’s voice came from outside the private room.
Then he pushed the cart in respectfully, wearing a professional smile on his face.
Eric and Kate pulled apart suddenly, as if they had been jolted. They both remained composed and nodded lightly.
But Eric’s gaze towards the waiter was far from friendly.
The waiter couldn’t help but shiver, feeling a chill creeping up from his feet as he met Eric’s eyes.
His movements became quicker. After serving the dishes, he bowed, and then swiftly ran out, closing. the door to the private room behind him.
Leaning against the corridor wall, he gasped for breath, his face showing lingering fear.
Who would understand? I just here to serve food, and it felt like the boss was about to give me a scolding!
