Chapter 223 You’re the Only One for Me
When Kate finished speaking, Eric’s demeanour shifted instantly, becoming icy. He smiled at Kate, but his eyes didn’t mirror the warmth, hinting at something more menacing. He moved closer to Kate, cornering her against the sofa’s back, and in a soft tone, he said, “Oh?”
There was noticeable tension coming from him, and they were so close together that it was intense. Kate could feel the warmth of Eric’s breath on her face, and that’s when it hit her–the impact of what she’d said before.
She had casually mentioned being somewhat interested in Kyle.
Caught under the strong and somewhat daunting aura of Eric, Kate, pushed by an instinct to protect herself, quickly set things straight. “I was just wondering about who Kyle is, honestly. I’m not really into him, I promise!”
As she explained, she moved in closer and softly kissed Eric.
Eric looked back at her, his expression unreadable, with a slight lift of his eyebrow.
You’re the only one for me,” Kate murmured, giving him another tender kiss and whispering gently.
She knew Eric had a possessive streak. The casual comment she made earlier must have struck a nerve.
She needed to sort out the issue she had unintentionally caused.
After calming Eric for a while, he suddenly leaned down, pressing her beneath him, and fervently captured her lips with his own.
She returned his kisses gently, akin to a cat’s touch, igniting a spark within his heart that instinctively made him yearn for more.
After a long moment, Eric finally let go of Kate, slowly standing up with a flicker of desire in his eyes, clearly fighting to keep his composure.
Kate was stretched out on the couch, taking gentle breaths, her body easing into relaxation. She was close to being out of breath just a short while ago, but thankfully, Eric had let her go just in time.
She lifted a hand to gently touch her slightly puffed lips, giving Eric a look that mixed some blame with her pout.
Eric lounged back with a playful glint in his eye, saying, “Kyle’s got his high–powered family background to thank for his special standing and his besitation about heading to Haldoria.”
Showing interest, Kate responded, “So, how does he fit in with Miles? Wasn’t it Miles who made a big show of them being an item? What’s got him so against Kyle showing up in Haldoria?”
This was Kate’s first time seeing Miles push back so firmly against something.
This guy made the trip from his place to Summer Estate, all because he wanted to air out his issues with Eric. It looked like he was dead on stonning Kule from ai or to Haldoria

Eric–laughed and gestured for Kate to come near, saying, “Come here, and I’ll fill you in.”
His voice had this enticing huskiness, and his eyes were intensely expressive.
Without a second thought, Kate walked up to Eric, wrapped her arms around him, and softly kissed him, which made him say, “Tell me, please.”
Eric looked at Kate helplessly, then leaned in to whisper something to her.
Kate’s eyes grew wide with surprise, and she quietly said in shock, “Really? So, that’s why Miles is against him coming to Haldoria….
“Yes.” Eric gave a confirming nod, his eyes locked on Kate.
In a deep, resonant tone, he suggested, “Once we’re done talking about their business, should we focus. on what’s between us?”
His breath gently brushed against Kate’s ear, making her shiver. She answered sincerely, “Do you mean the joint project between EK Studio and Davison Group?
“The latest products we’ve introduced have surpassed our expectations and sold out immediately!” A sense of excitement and fulfilment was evident in Kate’s expression.
With Simon and Ruth now detained, the Sadler Group’s influence was significantly diminished. Lanat and the false followers she had recruited received a warning. As a result, Lana stepped back from causing any more trouble.
With these intentional obstacles out of the way, our joint projects moved forward without a hitch, receiving widespread praise for our released products.
