Reborn of Kate by Isla Rainfield

Chapter 66 Eric Might Be Avoiding Me 

Holly and Ruth’s decision to seek a loan didn’t catch Kate off guard. After all, how else could they gather the 540 thousand to repay her? The 450 thousand they lost due to the private hospital had already drained their funds. Although they had benefited subtly from her before, they had used that money to buy a mansion and live lavishly, leaving Ruth with no savings. 

Simon had invested everything in his company and couldn’t produce the money, hence the sale of those luxury items for 450 thousand. 

But it was their own doing. 

Kate’s eyes narrowed, and then she chuckled softly. “As expected. Well then… Let’s have some fun with them.” 

George nodded seriously. “Alright!” 

He promptly left to execute Kate’s instructions. 

The Summer Estate villa fell silent once more. Kate glanced at the time; it was already noon. 

She took out her phone, her expression softening. She texted Eric. ‘Eric, did you have a good. lunch?‘ 

After a while without a response, Kate wasn’t discouraged. She dialled Eric’s number directly, but it rang for some time without an answer. Kate frowned slightly, ended the call, and dialled Lucas instead. 

“Hi, Madam, Lucas answered promptly with respect. 

Kate got straight to the point. “Where’s Eric?” 

Lucas glanced at Eric, who sat behind his office desk, emanating a cold aura, holding his phone. Lucas hesitated briefly. How should I respond? 

Before Lucas could reply, Kate continued, “He skipped breakfast this morning. Make sure he eats more at lunch.” 

“Understood,” Lucas responded quickly. 

He asked cautiously, “Madam, do you have any other instructions?” 

He had his phone set to speaker. He saw Eric’s expression briefly soften upon hearing Kate’s 

voice. 

“Mmm…” 

Kate paused momentarily, then spoke gently. “Tell him to take care of himself and not push himself too hard. And tell him to come home for dinner tonight.” 

Lucas glanced at Eric, who shook his head dismissively. Quickly grasping the situation, Lucas.

responded, “Madam, Mr. Eric is currently in a meeting and has upcoming business trips. scheduled. He won’t be able to return to Summer Estate for a while.” 

Finished 

Kate’s grip on the phone tightened momentarily. A fleeting sadness flashed through her eyes, but it was swiftly replaced by her soft tone. “Please take good care of him.” 

Lucas rubbed his nose, nodding solemnly. “Of course, Madam.” 

The call ended promptly. 

Lucas watched Eric cautiously and spoke hesitantly, “Mr. Eric, you…. 

He stopped himself under Eric’s icy stare. 

Never mind. I won’t ask. It’s not my place to inquire about Mr. Eric’s personal matters anyway. That would be crossing a line. 

Still, Lucas couldn’t shake the thought. Why is Mr. Eric avoiding Kate now? Didn’t their relationship seem better at the banquet? Why the sudden change? 

“Prepare for my business trip tonight to Belford,” Eric said coldly, giving Lucas a brief glance. 

Lucas hesitated briefly, then replied promptly, “Yes, sir!” 

Eric wasn’t scheduling the trip to avoid Kate; it was crucial for a business collaboration in Belford. that required his direct involvement. 

However, he also needed time to sort out his own emotions and understand Kate’s current intentions. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Back at Summer Estate, after ending the call, Kate forced a bitter smile. 

I can sense that Eric might be avoiding me. But why? Just because he hurt me during a moment of loss of 

control? 

She knew well that Eric’s behaviour had changed after witnessing those marks on her neck.
