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.

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.
