Chapter 230 You Bothered My Wife
In a cosy room on the second floor of the Emperor Hotel, Kate snuggled into Eric’s chest on their shared couch, curiously observing the Bennett brothers, Miles and Kyle, seated across from them.
Miles looked down, his hair a bit messy, while Kyle, sitting by him, had managed to soften his usual relaxed attitude and seemed happy.
“Eric, it’s been great visiting Haldoria.” Kyle picked up the glass on the table before him, poured a drink for Eric, and smiled as he spoke.
Eric’s indifferent gaze paused on Miles for a moment before he calmly replied, “No problem, just make sure he behaves.”
Miles shrank back a bit, his eyes accusingly fixed on Eric. “Why are you being so cold? What did I ever do to warrant his care?”
Feeling unfairly treated, Miles pondered why Kyle had to be present, stripping him of his freedom.
Eric looked at Miles and stated plainly, “You’ve been bothering my wife.”
Eric’s use of ‘wife ‘carried a particular weight.
Kate’s body trembled slightly as she gazed at Eric in surprise. She never anticipated Eric suddenly addressing her as ‘wife‘. Her face flushed instantly, and she nervously adjusted her clothes.
Miles quickly defended himself. “I didn’t bother anyone!”
Kyle, ever composed, shifted his gaze to Miles, cracking a smile. “Eric, I get it.”
He playfully drew Miles closer again, his blue eyes twinkling with fun as he joked, “What’s got you so eager? Scared I might take off? Or is it that
His face turned sombre, and Kyle asked, “Have you stopped loving me? Don’t you want me around anymore?”
Miles was dumbfounded!
Eric caught Miles‘ look and shot back a frosty, heavy stare.
