Chapter 321 Win Him Over Eventually
Though Erica’s face showed a mix of embarrassment and a flicker of anger, it vanished as soon as she saw the man.
She looked at him almost adoringly, then smiled warmly. “Darling, stop joking around. Do you want to go out for a walk? Should I ask the butler to join you, just to be safe?”
The man responded coldly to Erica, “I’ll go by myself.”
Erica persisted, “I’ll have the butler follow at a distance, just for safety. I just want to make sure you’re alright.”
Concern crossed her face as she added, “You’re still recovering from your injury, and I’m worried it might get worse.”
The man shot Erica a cold look, then wheeled past her, disregarding Kate and Edward next to him, and left through the living room door. The butler, vigilant, trailed behind him.
Once the man was out of sight, Kate raised an eyebrow and looked at Erica with a hint of surprise. “Ms. Erica, I thought you didn’t care for people from Haldoria? So why did you call that Haldorian man darling?”
Erica smirked. “People from Haldoria are quite handsome. I’m fond of his looks and even more of his character! He may not be my husband yet, but I plan to win him over eventually!”
A coldness touched Kate’s heart as Erica spoke with resolve, and her gaze hardened slightly.
You want to win over Eric, huh? What wishful thinking!
Eric was her love, and she would not let him go.
However, she could not quite pinpoint Eric’s current condition. He had not glanced their way despite being awake. Why had not he reached out to them yet?
Kate was troubled by these thoughts, yet she masked her feelings in front of Erica. Maintaining her smile, she said, “I wish you the best of luck in your endeavours, Ms. Erica. But I can’t help feeling that man… seems familiar?”
Narrowing her eyes, Erica glanced at Kate and said coldly. “He’s just an ordinary Haldorian. Oh, Ms. Viola, I must attend to something so I have to leave now. Here’s my gift to you; I hope we can foster a good relationship.”
Before waiting for a response, Erica quickly handed Kate a delicate gift box. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
With a smile, Kate accepted it and said, “I won’t keep you any longer.”
She stood and left, with Edward trailing behind her. They left the mansion, and upon reaching the lakeside, they noticed the butler standing three meters behind the wheelchair, his expression one of conflict and concern.

Kate caught a brief glimpse of Eric’s eyes and suppressed her emotions. Then, she and Edward swiftly left Erica’s property.
They continued their visits, exchanging gifts and pleasantries with the neighbouring households.
In the entire mansion district, there were only five residences, all belonging to wealthy or noble families. Kate and her group made up the fifth household.
As they returned to their own mansion, Kate’s smile wavered, and she nearly stumbled. Edward was quick to catch her, asking worriedly, “Are you alright?”
Kate merely shook her head slightly.
She could not stop thinking about Eric, and the sight of him caused her heart to ache sharply.
Eric appeared paler and frailer, and he was even confined to a wheelchair….
How serious were his injuries? And why was he with Erica?
Additionally, his behaviour was baffling.
It made sense that he did not recognise Kate in her disguise, but his disregard for Edward was just as confusing…
