He Stole Me From My Deadbeat Husband
Chapter 201

Chapter 201: Chapter 201

"Mindy?"

The server, who wore a black dress, was surprised when Henry called her name, "Wait, you still remember my name?"

"Huh? Why wouldn’t I? We dated for a while in uni," Henry raised his brow.

"I don’t know, I mean, you had a lot of girls back then, I thought I’m just one of your side pieces, that’s why we broke up, right?"

"Oh, that—haha—" Henry felt awkward after realizing that he was the one who fucked up.

Mindy was one of his ex-girlfriend back in university. She was a shy girl who didn’t have many friends. They met at a house party held by one of Henry’s friends. Like a wallflower, she stood at the corner of the room, drinking the soda alone.

She looked uncomfortable and was busy on her phone, so Henry approached her out of goodwill, thinking it was quite weird that kind of awkward girl would attend this kind of crazy house party.

He still remembered the sentence that came out of Mindy’s lips the moment he approached her.

-

’Henry Grant, I know that you have a lot of pretty ex-girlfriends, and I’m sure you won’t lower your standards to date me.’

-

Henry found her interesting and dated her for about four months.

He had to say that dating Mindy was different because she was much more reserved and less crazy than many of his ex-girlfriends.

She was stable, and Henry found peace in her.

Of course, not for long, because he eventually grew bored of her and dated another woman before breaking up with her, putting Mindy on the list of many ex-girlfriends he had.

"Sorry for what I did to you before, Mindy. I was such an ass," Henry apologized, knowing how cruel he was in university.

"It’s fine, I know the risk and still dated you back then," Mindy shrugged. "Anyway, I’m here to be your hostess, but if you don’t want me, I can call someone else."

Henry wasn’t interested in touching any hostess because his mind was full of Kate. But sitting in this VIP room alone sounded too depressing for him, so it was better to be accompanied by someone you knew than a stranger.

So he patted the seat next to him and said, "Just sit here and accompany me to drink. Maybe we can talk about some funny stories on campus. I missed them."

"Henry, it’s only been a year since you graduated. There’s nothing much to miss, really," Mindy said. But she obediently sat next to Henry as ordered.

When their thighs touched, Henry quickly scooted further from her and warned, "Not too close, I have a soon-to-be wife, I don’t want to hurt her, even when she’s not here."

"Oh, you’re going to marry Miss Sarah soon?" Mindy asked. "Never thought that you’d settle down."

Henry’s mood turned gloomy instantly, "It’s not her. I don’t have any feelings for her. Not anymore."

"Are you sure? I remember how whipped you were when she came to the campus," Mindy tried to remember the big scene in the university. She then chuckled, "I mean, I know that you come from a rich family, but I never expected the member of a real noble lady would come just to fetch you and claim that you’re her boy."

"I also remember how red your face was at that time, but you still followed her as you two left the campus."

"Ok, stop right there," Henry didn’t want to hear an even more embarrassing story about himself on campus. "Sarah isn’t in love with me, she’s just joking about me being her boy. She just likes to tease me."

"Well, based on your reaction back then, you seem to enjoy her attention," Mindy said.

Henry was out of words because what Mindy said was true. He enjoyed that attention from Sarah, but it was a feeling that was long gone, and luckily, Sarah wasn’t interested in him either.

Mindy opened the bottle of whisky and poured it into Henry’s glasses for him to drink.

Henry drank the iced whiskey, or ’on the rocks’ as it was called, and his mind began to relax a bit.

"So, who’s your fiance right now? She’s not Miss Sarah, right?"

...

Technically, Sarah was still his fiancee. They even had all that fancy engagement show just to appease his father, but they agreed to do it because Sarah was in cahoot with him.

They were in this together, so Marlon would lower his guard while Henry tried to find a way to obtain all of Marlon’s family assets.

He had considered sacrificing Kate before, but now that things had spiraled out of his control, he had to find an alternative.

Luckily, with Sarah’s help as his fiancee, his father hadn’t demanded much, but not for long.

He might want to force Henry to marry Sarah sooner or later, and he had to find another way to transfer all of Marlon’s generational wealth to him before his marriage with Sarah happened.

But Mindy didn’t need to know all of that.

Kate didn’t need to know all of this as well. All she needed to know was how much he loved her and how much he wanted to protect her.

"Her name is Katherine, but I called her Kitty," Henry said. His smile bloomed as he imagined the woman of his life, and Mindy caught on to it quickly.

"Oh? You look so happy when you say her name. It seems that you’re very much in love," Mindy mentioned.

"Hahah, you can say that," Henry said. He drank his iced whiskey and continued as he got more relaxed, "I know it sounds stupid. But I met her when both of us were in our lowest state, and we embraced each other that night. I can feel her warmth, and she can feel mine,"

"I told her that I have a lot of problems, and we should stop before it gets too complicated. But she said that she’s fine with everything as long as I embraced her that night."
