Chapter 281 Return Home


    Linus watched Kate leave the exhibition hall with <b>a </b>smile, yet her face clouded over when she nced at her phone. His forehead creased, and he asked urgently, “What’s troubling Kate? Who’s upset her? I’ll handle this!”


    With resolve, Linus even tightened his grip into a fist.


    Kate pressed her lips together, hesitating as she said, “He should be fine….


    Eric often had professional responsibilities to manage, so he might simply be upied. Recently, Eric had been overwhelmed with <b>tasks</b>, and their video calls had be less frequent.


    Despite this, Kate couldn’t dismiss a lingering sense of worry.


    Could something be wrong?


    No, nothing could have happened! Eric would be fine.


    Kate kept reassuring herself, finally managing to suppress her anxiety.


    “Shall we head to the airport and prepare to go back Home?”


    Hendrick, reading Kate’s mind, gently proposed.


    “Okay.”


    Kate exhaled deeply and consented. They had intended toplete their tour of the fashion design exhibition before returning home. Hendrick’s business deal was settled, and his team could manage the remaining <b>tasks</b>.


    She faced Linus and asked, “Linus, are youing back with us?”


    Linus paused briefly. He was inclined to refuse, but seeing Kate’s hopeful expression, he nodded <b>and </b>replied, Tll join you and stay for a bit before leaving!


    The group quickly gathered their things and hurried to the airport.


    Linus‘ eye–catching red sports car was temporarily parked at Eric’s mansion in Krusada.


    Since he wasn’t currently participating in anypetitions, and considering he owned several sports cars scattered across different countries anyway.


    This was among the reasons why he was spending moneyvishly, prompting Hendrick and his parents. to contemte cklisting him.


    However, Hendrick’s preferred sports car remained in the country.


    Before boarding the ne, Kate attempted to reach Eric by phone but received no response. Kate’s anxiety intensified, prompting her to dial Lucas. This time, she connected.

    picked up, her voice tinged with worry.


    Lucas apologised, “I apologise, Madam. Boss <b>is </b>currently in a meeting and likely <b>missed </b>your call. Is there a message you’d like me to <b>pass </b>on to him?”


    Kate let <b>out </b>a sigh of relief, “That’s okay. I’m on my way <b>back </b>from <b>Krusada </b>now.”


    <b>Lucas </b>paused briefly on the other end of the line, then asked, “Why the hurry toe back? Madam<b>, </b>why not extend your stay in Krusada for a while longer?”


    “It’s not the same without Eric. I’m returning with Hendrick.”


    Above all, she longed for Eric.


    She


    yearned to return home swiftly and be in Eric’s embrace!


    “Understood, Madam. We’re prepared here and will be ready to pick you up on time.”


    Kate also requested Lucas to make sure Eric didn’t exhaust himself, then concluded the call and proceeded to the boarding gate with Hendrick and the rest.


    Following her conversation with Lucas, Kate felt somewhat relieved. It was reasonable for Eric to miss her calls during a meeting.


    Meanwhile, in Haldoria.


    <b>Lucas </b>paused, his gaze fixed on Eric. “Boss, Madam and the rest have already boarded the ne. Are you truly departing now?”


    Eric’s demeanour remained icy. “We must go to Basti.”


    <b>Lucas </b>remained uncertain. “What happens if Madam returns and doesn’t find you here?”


    Eric met his gaze with a steely resolve. “I have my ways,” he replied firmly.


    After <b>a </b>brief silence, he continued, “Norify the bodyguards back home to safeguard Kate. Don’t let her wander or go out recklessly. George should keep a close eye on her.”


    Lucas sighed softly and responded promptly, “Understood.”
