Chapter 196 What Is Our Relationship?
Eric was taken aback by Kate’s sudden praise. He chuckled softly and said, “Back then, it wasn’t just me. Lucas and the others were there, too. I didn’t work as tirelessly as you did.”
After wheeling to the sofa, Eric pushed himself up with one hand. With a slight turn, he sat down
the sofa, right next to Kate.
Kate let out a contented hum as she snuggled into Eric’s embrace. She inhaled his cool pine scent and felt much of her fatigue dissipate.
Eric’s large hand naturally settled on Kate’s waist, massaging gently to ease her weariness.
Comfortably closing her eyes, Kate whispered sleepily, “The studio has just begun. I still need to handle many things personally.”
Eric’s eyes held a trace of amusement as he genuinely said, “You did a great job, Kate.”
He wasn’t just trying to make her happy; he genuinely meant it.
Although George had been advising Kate and helping with tasks, Kate had done the majority of the work herself.
Only then did Eric realise how much Kate had grown, even when he wasn’t paying attention. She had picked up
his temperament and style of handling things, nearly mastering them, and was now capable of standing on her own.
Kate laughed lightly when she received the praise. She said, “Because I have a wonderful teacher. How could a student taught by you be anything less than excellent?”
Eric’s eyes darkened a little, and he asked in a low voice, “Teacher?”
Kate shifted in his arms to find a more comfortable position that wouldn’t aggravate Eric’s injury. Then, she replied with a smile, “Of course. I learned from you. I’ve watched your meeting videos ten times.”
Eric looked down at the slightly smug woman in his arms, his lips tightening as he asked, “So, what is our relationship?
His voice was slightly cold, and his brows furrowed, clearly displeased.
Kate finally realised what she had said. She opened her eyes to see his unhappy face, and she couldn’t help but laugh. She sat up and leaned in to kiss him on the lips, saying, “We’re husband and wife.”
Eric’s eyes deepened. He pulled Kate back by the nape of her neck and deepened the brief kiss.
Kate was already exhausted from the day. She felt her body turn to jelly. By the time Eric let her go, she was breathless and limped into his arms. She shot him with a slightly reproachful look.
