Chapter 19 You Hurt Me
Eric’s aggressive aura surrounded Kate like a punishment, making her feel suffocated.
“Eric!”
After a while, she finally gasped for breath and cried out, “You hurt me.”
Her soft, hoarse voice with a hint of tears suddenly pierced Eric’s mind.
The broken string in his mind was reconnected by her words. Eric took a step back abruptly, his face still showing fierceness and coldness. He stared at the wound on Kate’s lips, the panic and tears in her eyes, feeling even more agitated, his fists clenched tightly.
D*mmit, I hurt her again.
Just as he turned to leave, Kate reached out and grabbed Eric’s hand.
Eric froze, his cold eyes glancing back at Kate.
With his help, Kate stood up and threw herself into Eric’s slightly cold embrace.
Her voice was trembling and filled with grievances, “Eric, why didn’t you let me finish?”
Eric remained still, his cold aura softening slightly. With his eyes still crimson, he waited quietly for Kate to continue.
“I wanted to attend the banquet because … I wanted to appear as your wife.”
Kate’s eyes were red, her voice tinged with a sob. “Everyone says I am just a toy you keep, and you might dump me when you get tired of me. We’ve been married for three years and you’ve never taken me to a public event.”
She lifted her head, tears rolling down her cheeks. “I haven’t seen my parents and brother for three years.”
As she spoke, Kate’s spirit seemed somewhat trance–like.
If she remembered correctly, it was at this banquet that Lowe Group was embroiled in a scandal involving her brother.
