He Stole Me From My Deadbeat Husband
Chapter 116

Chapter 116: Chapter 116

​​"Me? With another man? pfft–ahahah!" Kate laughed heartily as if that was the funniest joke she had heard in a week. "I’m not a rich, young, and handsome hunk who flirted with any living being on earth like you, Mr. Grant. Before you can catch me with another man, I’d catch you with at least ten more women first!"

Henry laughed as he found that joke funny, "You’re underestimating yourself, Kitty. Who knows how many men you can seduce with your beauty? You’re the most beautiful flower in a garden, and the bees can’t help themselves to get closer so they can get your sweet nectar."

"And you’re one of those bees?" Kate teased.

"No, I’m the bee swatter. I swatted them all, so I can have all of you for myself," Henry claimed. "Hmm, maybe I should burn the beehive as well, just to make sure."

They both laughed. This kind of cute tease, added with a ridiculous joke, thawed the awkwardness between them.

Kate and Henry felt much closer after that, and Henry asked, "Seriously, did I do something that hurt you last night?"

"Not at all," Kate said. "Don’t worry, you will be the first one to know if you did something that hurt me."

"I like that," Henry nodded. "Make sure to let me know if I accidentally hurt you. I want to make sure that you’re safe from anyone, even from me."

Kate felt that Henry’s words were a little off. But she tried to brush it off and changed the topic, "By the way, do you know that Michael asked me to tell Mai about our plan?"

"Michael?" Henry frowned. "That’s unexpected. Is there any reason for it? I mean, you told me that Mai is a very emotional person. She might have accidentally told Erin about your plan."

"He said he’s unsettled by Mai’s hostility towards him," Kate replied. She had a mischievous grin as she continued. "I think Michael is interested in Mai, that’s why he’s so unsettled by her hatred."

"Michael and Mai... hmm..." Henry wasn’t the one who would pry into his best friend’s romantic life. But then again, he wasn’t the type who’d be easily swayed by a woman, and Mai was surely not the type of woman that would seduce a man.

’I still remember how much hatred that little secretary showed when she saw me with Erin,’ Henry thought. ’If Michael is interested in that type of girl, does that mean he’s a masochist that likes to get tormented by his girlfriend?’

"Then, will you tell Mai about it?"

"I will," Kate said. "It’s not only because of Michael’s request. But I also realized that Mai might be burdened because of Erin’s presence."

"What if she got too angry and accidentally spilled everything to Erin?" Henry asked.

"I already told Michael to keep her in check when I’m not around, because I do not tolerate failure for this plan," Kate said decisively. "Also, you should probably prepare a small office in a faraway place."

"A small office in a faraway place?" Henry frowned. "Yes, a small office in a place that cannot be reached easily, maybe somewhere in Greenland or even the arctic."

Henry wondered what this was all about. Surely, Kate didn’t want them to live in those places, right?

"It’s not for us," Kate replied. "It’s for my dear sister. Didn’t I tell you that I want her to simply disappear without making any kind of ripple? Make sure everyone thinks it’s normal, as if she is just going for her... you know... first International business trip."

Henry connected the dots instantly, and his lips also curled up once he got the idea, "Then when will we send her on this business trip?"

"I mean the preparation will probably take a while, right? How fast can you prepare for her hotel?" Kate asked.

"Three to four weeks maximum," Henry replied. "Then we can send her to her first business trip."

"Great, then we don’t need to keep her for too long. I can’t wait to kick her out of my life," Kate said excitedly.

Henry stared at Kate, who had just concocted a perfect plan to erase someone from existence without creating a mess. It was evil, but not more evil than what Erin did to her and their mother.

"You know—" Henry gently rubbed her palm with his thumb as he stared at her. "—I’m starting to think that you are not a kind person, Kitty."

"I’m not Mother Theresa, but I’m also not Satan," Kate replied. "I just do what I have to do to survive. Erin has tormented me long enough and I don’t want her to harm my baby because she got me too stressed out with her craziness. So I have to kick her out of my life."

Kate raised her brow while she stared back at Henry, "Why? Do you not like it, Mr. Grant? I’m sorry that I’m not your cute, obedient, and sweet Kitty."

"Who said that you’re not my cute Kitty?" Henry leaned forward until his lips hovered near her ear, "You’re so cute when you show your claw like this. You’re truly tailor-made only for me."

Henry and Kate separated after breakfast as Kate used Taxi to return to her apartment.

At first, Henry insisted on driving her back to her apartment. But Kate refused because there might be a chance of Erin showing up in her apartment.

Thus, Henry had to agree reluctantly.

Henry took a bath and got himself ready after a while. He then called Michael, telling him to pick him up with the usual Bentley.

Henry walked out of the lobby and went straight towards his car.

He opened the car door and sat comfortably in the backseat.

"Morning, Mr. Grant," Michael greeted. "Did you have a good sleep last night?"

Henry could sense the sneer on his best friend. So he chuckled, "Hey, don’t be so hostile to me. Last night was a mess for both of us, okay?"

Michael sighed, "Yeah, it’s a mess. I really thought that you’d fuck that woman and leave Mrs. Woods for good."

"But who would’ve expected that our infamous Mr. Henry Grant is actually so madly in love with his imaginary wife, that he forced the woman last night to pretend to be Katherine Grant?"
