Chapter 143 <b>I’ll </b>Keep You Company


    Eric noticed Kate’s tightening grip on his arm, and a small smile tugged at the corners of his lips as he carried her into the Summer Estate.


    The servants, busy with their cleaning, were quite ustomed to this sight. When they saw Eric carrying Kate inside, some smiled knowingly.


    “Mr. and Mrs. Davison are growing closer every day,” remarked one.


    “I agree. I never imagined Madam could be so gentle with him. Initially, I thought she was just pretending,” another replied.


    “Either way, I prefer the current Madam. She’s much more approachable and no longer has that overbearing aura….


    The servants whispered among themselves briefly before returning to their tasks.


    Gossiping was frowned upon in the Summer Estate, so they exchanged only a few words in secrecy before dispersin


    Even if Eric and Kate were to find out, they wouldn’t me them for such small talk.


    Eric gently ced Kate on the sofa. She lowered her eyes, her face still slightly flushed.

    She couldn’t help but think again, Was <i>I </i><i>bewitched </i><i>by </i>Simon in my past life? I can’t believe <i>I </i><i>chose </i><i>him </i>over such an outstanding man <i>like </i><i>Eric</i>!


    I was such an id*ot!


    Eric stood up without a word. He nced at Kate and said lightly, “Get some sleep. I have some work to finish.”

    In her sleep, she looked delicate, with stray hairs falling across her forehead in a dishevelled manner, adding to her fragile appearance.


    She hugged the small pillow tightly, her small frame almost curled into a ball.


    Eric’s heart melted instantly.


    With a solemn expression, he quietly approached the couch and gently lifted Kate. His movements were so gentle that even in her deep slumber, Kate murmured softly, adjusted herself slightly, and continued sleeping peacefully.
