NovelEnglishChapter 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'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."

Huh?" A bit dizzy and wanting to address Eric, Kyle was swiftly escorted out by Miles.
The room was then left with only Kate and Eric.
After a few glasses of wine, Kate felt slightly buzzed, her cheeks rosy She leaned into Ericewatching Miles and Kyle depart, and laughed. "They act just like they're in a lovers' spat."
With a playful grin, Eric gently tapped her nose and, in a deep, suggestive tone, asked, "Then what does that make us?"
With her vision slightly fuzzy, Kate wrapped her arms around Eric's neck, pulling herself closer. Her breath, warm and laced with the scent of wine, brushed against Eric's face. Looking deeply into his eyes, she whispered, "We're husband and wife."
