As she gazed at it, she Behind them was a shimmering, endless expanse of sea, with seagulls flying across the horizon. White clouds adorned the clear blue sky, reflecting a hint of rainbow colours. On the beach, a couple embraced. From the perfect angle, the man appeared slim–waisted and long–legged, while the woman in his arms was petite and delicate. Even though their full faces were not visible, just their profiles were enough to leave one amazed. Absolutely stunning. “I love it!” Kate nodded enthusiastically, filled with delight. “Can I get the original digital copy?” Her eyes sparkled with excitement, her face and eyes revealing unrestrained joy, making her look like a happy child. She then showed the photo to Eric “Ric look how beautifully it’s captured!” As Eric glanced at the photo, he couldn’t help but squint a little. The scene captured in the photo was incredibly beautiful and romantic, with the two embracing figures brimming with affection and fondness. Even the usually discerning Eric couldn’t find a single flaw. The photographer, who was about to send the original photo to Kate, abruptly stopped when she called out “Ric.” His gaze turned to Eric. “Are you… Mr. Eric Davison from Davison Group?” At first, he was simply admiring the beautiful and romantic scene of Eric and Kate embracing. He was also struck by the good–looking face turned towards him, feeling a sense of familiarity but unable to recall where he had seen them before. It wasn’t until Kate called out “Ric” that everything clicked into place.. Eric’s gaze suddenly sharpened, his brow furrowing slightly as he scrutinised the photographer with a hint of suspicion. s eyes narrowed dangerously. Sensing Eric’s hostility and cold demeanour, the photographer quickly raised his hands to explain, “Mr. Davison, please don’t misunderstand. I didn’t come here with any intention to intrude on you and your wife.” He maintained a calm and friendly smile on his face, showing no signs of panic, and continued, “I was just surprised because I heard some rumours about you and your wife not getting along. But seeing you both together now, it’s obvious those rumours are baseless. Your relationship looks incredibly strong, probably better than any other couple’s.” Flattery was something everyone enjoyed, and Eric was no exception.

The business card design was simple yet stylish, exuding a touch of elegance with ‘Daniel Carter‘ written in bold characters and a string of phone numbers. Eric casually tucked the card into his pocket, and then glanced at Daniel and said calmly. “If you’re interested in working at Davison Group, I can arrange an interview for you.” Daniel froze for a moment, instinctively explaining, Mr. Davison, I’m really not here looking for at job… Before he could finish speaking, Eric’s cold voic interrupted him, “I know.” Glancing at Kate, who was beaming with joy as she looked at the photo, Eric’s lips curled slightly. “My wife likes your work, so I’ll give you a chance.” Daniel swallowed hard, looking at Eric with disbelief as he cautiously asked, “R–really?” Eric nodded and handed Daniel one of his business cards without much thought. With the black card in hand, embossed in gold, Daniel was still a bit dazed.

Chapter 118 Try to Believe Me, Okay? Eric did take Kate to the beach. On the eastern side of Capital City, there was a stretch of sea where couples often strolled along the beach, and families gathered to play by the seaside As they strolled along the sandy beach, feeling the sea breeze, Kate suddenly felt a strangely unreal sensation in her heart. In her previous life, she had devoted herself entirely to Simon. From the moment she met Simon, Ms. Lowe’s path had taken a wrong turn. Simon came from a poor family background, his parents passed away carly, and his relatives neglected him. On top of that, his good looks often led to him being called a gigolo and bullied.. Kate intervened when she saw Simon being bullied. Initially, she couldn’t stand bullying on campus, but her interest in him grew after seeing his face. With Simon’s cunning ways, he slowly won over Ms. Lowe’s heart. Throughout their university years, Kate generously spent money on Simon, protected and spoiled him, always ready to help. Meanwhile, Simon played hard to get, sometimes accepting Kate’s help reluctantly while pretending to be pitiful in front of her, slowly manipulating her emotions. Simon cunningly deceived her step by step. leaving her devastated in the end! Looking back, there was hardly anything warm or romantic between her and Simon. It was mostly her pride and self–respect gradually giving way to him, slowly falling into the traps set by Simon and Ruth! “What are you thinking about?” Eric’s low, chilling voice suddenly rang in her cars, instantly snapping Kate’s thoughts back. Eric fixed his gaze on Kate, his eyes probing and slightly displeased. Kate met his gaze calmly and boldly said, “I was just wondering if the previous me was blinded by foolishness to reject such a great husband like you and choose someone treacherous and heartless like Simon.” Her words were blunt and caught Eric off guard. He looked momentarily taken aback, a hint of bewilderment flickering in his eyes. But in the next instant, Kate had already thrown herself into his arms, murmuring softly, “Ric, I know you don’t trust me, but I’ve truly changed. I won’t bring up divorce again, and I won’t leave you.” Her grip tightened gradually, as if afraid Eric might slip away. Her voice was gentle, with a touch of tears. “I won’t do anything to hurt you again… So please try to believe me, okay?” She looked up and dropped all her guards, tears welling up as she gazed at Eric with a face full of vulnerability and helplessness. Balance: 1636170 1 Coins 1 Pearls Eric felt a lump in his throat, deeply moved by Kate’s blunt words. Simply meeting her soft, vulnerable cues made it impossible for him to say anything in refusal. This was the girl he had held dearly in his heart for over a decade. Eric didn’t say a word; he just tightened his embrace, pulling her closer. Click! The sudden snap of a camera shutter brought them both back to reality. A man in a suit, holding a camera, walked over with a smile. He politely apologised, “Sorry to interrupt you two. I’m a professional photographer and I love capturing all kinds of beauty in the world. I saw. how beautiful your embrace was just now, so I took a quick shot. “Sorry for disturbing, my bad.” The man looked around twenty, dressed smartly in a suit.

Chapter 117 If I Say It’s Okay, It’s Okay “Ahem, well…” Kate cleared her throat, feeling her face heat up as she tried to calm herself. “The dishes are here, let’s eat first. They won’t taste good if they get cold.” Eric’s face looked calm, but his earlobes were so red they looked like they might bleed. But inside, he was annoyed. This was the second time, the second time! First, it was Miles, and now it was the waiter. At least the last time they got to kiss for a while; this time… It ended abruptly before it even started. Eric was filled with resentment and silently decided that the next time there was a romantic moment, it had to be at Summer Estate, where they wouldn’t be interrupted! Little did he know, Kate, whose heart was pounding like crazy, was thinking the exact same thing. Even though both of their hearts were racing, neither of them showed any emotion and instead calmly started eating. Eric didn’t eat much; most of the time, Kate had to encourage him to eat more. As long as he was with Kate, even eating–a task he had hated with a deep–seated loathing since he was a child became strangely enjoyable. Without realising it, Eric ended up eating more than usual thanks to Kate’s encouragement. By the time he noticed, his gaze at her had become even more intense. Their meal was mostly quiet, with Kate gently suggesting different dishes for Eric to try, and him responding with a quiet “hmm” and eating. When he couldn’t eat anymore, she didn’t push him and just smiled, “Ric, how about we go to the beach this afternoon?” Running into Darlene and her friends before the meal had actually put her in a bad mood, and she’d been holding in her frustration ever since. She had been married to Eric for three years, and for those three years, she’d been immature and constantly fighting with him. Their constant arguments made everyone think she and Eric were incompatible and that he was. keeping her confined at Summer Estate. While their relationship had somewhat improved now, people’s perceptions don’t change overnight. Erie was taken aback when he heard Kate’s suggestion and only realised later. Was she asking me out? His heart pounded like a drum, but Eric maintained a calm expression. His gaze rested on Kate’s face, unable to bring himself to refuse. “Okay.” Kate immediately grinned widely and texted Miles that she’d be coming home later in the afternoon.

He hesitated for a moment, and then messaged Eric back: ‘Mr. Davison, this afternoon’s meeting is a big international one about expanding our overseas operations. Shouldn’t you be there to lead it?” Eric replied quickly: ‘If I think it’s okay, and then it’s okay. Lucas was at a loss for words. Feeling somewhat helpless, he looked at the mountain of unfinished documents on his desk and sighed. Poor worker bee! But before Lucas could finish feeling down, another message from Eric came through: Double bonus this month‘ Lugás instantly perked up like he’d been given a shot of adrenaline. “Got it, Mr. Davison! I won’t let you down!” Even though he was Eric’s assistant and had already earned a good salary, after all these years with him, Eric had never let him down. But who would say no to extra money?

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.

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!

I beg you, don’t cut off my tongue!” Darlene was truly scared. y rip She knew Eric was firm in his decisions, and his methods were harsh. If he said he’d keep her tongue, he meant it! So, Darlene clung tightly to Kate as her last hope. Who said Eric and Kate didn’t get along? Eric clearly adored and was concerned about Kate! She had been around the dating block for years, mingling with many men and switching boyfriends faster than outfits. So, she knew men like Eric, who were cold and strict, would stop at nothing to protect a woman once they were committed. Clearly, Kate was Eric’s top priority. Darlene was taking a chance. She was betting that Kate could control Eric, or Kate was the most special one for Eric! The other three women were already scared silly, kneeling down and slapping themselves. “We know we were wrong, shouldn’t have spoken out of turn!” They were hitting themselves hard, each one more fiercely than the last.

They could barely speak clearly, but their self–punishment showed no signs of stopping They were well aware that if Kate didn’t forgive them today, they might not be able to leave this place in one piece. Kate turned away with a look of disgust, silently chuckling to herself. She showed no sign of concern, just turned to Eric with a hint of playful annoyance. Ric, I don’t want anything to do with this woman’s tongue. Just thinking about it makes me feel disgusted. “Tell them to get lost back to their countries. They shouldn’t ever step foot in Haldoria again, especially not in front of me. It’s disgusting!” Eric felt the anger in him gradually fading away.

Then they heard Eric’s cold and disgusted remark, “Get out of here!” Darlene turned and left without a second thought.

She was adaptable. Most people wouldn’t have been so straightforward or harsh on themselves. Kate watched coldly as Darlene and her three companions left in embarrassment.
