Reborn of Kate by Isla Rainfield

Chapter 55 It’s Late, Let’s Sleep 

Perhaps exhausted from the banquet, Kate quickly drifted off to sleep on the sofa. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

When Eric finished his work and entered the living room, he found Kate completely immersed on the sofa, her eyes closed, sleeping peacefully. 

There was a flicker of curiosity in Eric’s gaze as he observed Kate, his lips pressed together. Her demeanour at the banquet earlier was so unexpected–assertive, radiant, and decisive. She intervened fiercely, kicking down doors to rescue Hendrick and even threatening Simon. 

All of these actions seemed out of character for Kate, yet she had done it all. 

Eric’s gaze darkened, his presence turning colder. A subtle air of pressure and frost enveloped him with a glint of iciness in his eyes. Slowly, he moved closer to Kate, as if he intended to envelop her entirely. 

In her half–awake state, Kate seemed to sense his approach, and she groggily opened her 

eyes. 

As she blinked her eyes open, she found Eric standing before her, his gaze intense and his demeanour slightly subdued. 

His expression was stern and aloof, his eyes icy as they scrutinised her, but the chill dissipated. instantly upon. their cyc contact. 

Pretending not to notice the chill in his eyes, Kate weakly reached out towards Eric, her voice gentle and soothing like that of a just–awakened kitten. “Eric, want a hug?” 

Eric pursed his lips as he watched her, but remained still. 

Seeing his lack of response, Kate clumsily rose to her feet and threw herself into Eric’s embrace, nuzzling her head against his chest, finding a comfortable position, and clinging to him tightly. 

Eric lowered his gaze to the petite woman who had willingly nestled into his arms, clinging to him like a boneless creature. A hint of resignation flickered in his eyes. 

“It’s late. Time to sleep.” 

Eric’s momentary resignation was evident in his calm tone. 

“Mm.” Kate murmured in agreement. 

The weight that had been burdening her mind had finally been lifted, having saved Hendrick and restored the Lowe family’s honour. With a light sniff of the crisp pine scent on Eric’s face, drowsiness washed over her in gentle waves. 

Eric pursed his lips. After failing to coax Kate to return to the bedroom on her own, he had no choice but to carry her and carefully place her on the master bed. 

Curled up under the covers, Kate slept soundly.

Eric stood by the bed, his gaze fixed on her for a moment, before reluctantly suppressing restless thoughts in his heart.

Though desire lingered in his eyes, he forcefully restrained it. After ensuring that Kate was asleep, he silently left the room. 

He dared not share a bed with her. 

She had an extremely fatal attraction to him, especially when she wasn’t in a sober state of mind, yet she kept snuggling into his arms. He feared he might lose control. 

After taking a cold shower in his room, Eric pushed aside his thoughts and closed his eyes with a chill settling over him. 

“Boom!” 

The thunder rumbled loudly, jolting Kate from her slumber. She blinked in confusion, reaching. out beside her, only to find it empty and cold. 

Sitting up abruptly, she looked outside the window. Thunder and lightning raged, with rain pouring down heavily. The 

the bedroom as if it were daghtning tore through the sky, momentarily illuminating 

the bedroom as if it were daytime, followed by the booming thunder. 

Anxious, she called out, “Eric!” 

Feeling a sense of unease, she hurriedly got out of bed, pushed open the door, and dashed. towards the room at the end of the corridor as the storm outside intensified, rain pouring heavily, and lightning illuminating the sky, followed by thunderous roars. 

The door was unlocked, Kate pushed it open and quickly peered inside the room. In the corner, she spotted a tall man curled up into a ball, his expression contorted into a terrifying grimace, resembling that of a wild beast.
