Chapter 18 Naughty Kate
“Ric, you’re back!”
Upon seeing Eric’s car return, Kate flew out of the mansion directly, and ran straight to his side. without hesitation, burying herself in his arms.
Eric looked inscrutable as he watched Kate throw herself into his embrace. His face was calm, making it impossible to discern his true emotions. He stood there quietly. Only after Kate let go, he faintly spoke, “Had enough hugs?”
She smiled and looked at him, replying, “Not enough.”
His eyes deepened as he grabbed her arm and forcefully pulled her away from him. However, he remembered the voice he had intercepted from the monitor program. His aura suddenly turned cold.
Unaware of his emotions, Kate pointed inside the garden and said with a smile, “Ric, do you like the garden?”
Eric glanced indifferently around and said nothing, striding inside.
Kate stumbled and followed beside him. His steps were too big, and she couldn’t keep up. Eric noticed this and a hint of annoyance flashed in his eyes. He slowed down his pace, allowing her to catch up.
But as soon as they entered, his steps came to a halt.
He scanned the entire living room without a word. All the messy paintings had been removed, and in the most prominent position in the centre, hung the wedding photo of him and Kate.
His expression darkened a bit. The changes in Summer Estate were obviously related to Kate. Did she want to embarrass him like this? She gets close to him, pleases him, and then delivers a fatal blow.
At this moment, Kate stood in front of him with a bright smile, “Are you satisfied, Ric?”
Eric looked deeply at Kate, his voice indifferent, “As long as you like it.” All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
“Come on, let’s wash up and cat.”
She smiled and took his hand, like an ordinary couple, waiting for him to wash up before leading him to the dining table.
Looking at the table full of delicious dishes, Eric’s expression became more serious. He was forced to sit on the sofa by Kate, while she sat opposite him. She smiled and said gently, “I made these dishes myself. Try them.”
Eric remained silent. His expression became even colder.

Chapter 18 Naughty Kate
Finished
gradually became colder, his dominant and overbearing aura slowly spreading out. He sat on the sofa, and seemed to blend in with the dark colours, with only his deep eyes seeming to want to completely engulf Kate.
Kate inexplicably stiffened.
In her past life, she had a big fight with Eric, forcing him to the brink of losing control. Even in that state, he never hurt her, but she still avoided him like the plague, full of fear and disgust, desperately wanting to escape.
Later, he signed the divorce agreement, and she left the Summer Estate without looking back.
“Kate.”
She heard Eric’s voice, suppressed to the extreme, with a slight tremor.
The man on the sofa, almost blending into the dark, suddenly stood up. His tall figure exuded a strong sense of oppression. He took a step forward with his long legs and pressed her against the sofa with absolute dominance, looking down at her face. His voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of temptation, “What do you want?”
Kate took a deep breath, staring directly at him, and said word by word, “I want you to take me to tomorrow’s banquet.”
She had her own reasons to go. Even though she knew Eric’s anger was on the verge of exploding. She had to seize this opportunity and make him agree to take her.
There was a volcanic eruption in his eyes. He suddenly reached out and grabbed her neck. His eyes were filled with intense disappointment and madness. He said with a hoarse voice, “Kate, you are very naughty.”
So, she’s trying so hard to please me, all just for a secret meeting with Simon at the banquet, isn’t it? I knew it. How could this heartless and arrogant woman suddenly change her ways? All the previous tenderness and sweetness, it’s probably all an act!
Her neck was suddenly gripped, and Kate felt her breath becoming uneasy. The big hand with distinct bones tightened inch by inch. The fierceness and madness in the man’s eyes in front of her were terrifying.
“Ric, I…
“Hmph..”
Her words of explanation were suddenly silenced.
Eric’s aggressive aura swept over, more crazed and brutal than ever before. He was fierce, domineering, and carried a punitive force that seemed to want to completely devour Kate.
