He Stole Me From My Deadbeat Husband
Chapter 203

Chapter 203: Chapter 203

[Song Recommendation: Jimin BTS - Serendipity.]

"But I treat her right, I never hurt her, I give her everything and will continue doing so. I want to help her in any way possible, and I... I just expect her to love me back..." Henry said.

"I mean, I don’t think you treat her right if you can’t even trust her," Mindy said. "Trust is the basis of a relationship. It gets frustrating when your significant other can’t trust you enough."

...

The word ’frustrating’ hit Henry in his heart. He knew that he didn’t trust Kate enough. Deep down, he knew that it was because they got together after Kate got her heart broken by Matt.

What if Henry accidentally broke Kate’s heart, and she left him for another man?

Henry might as well crush his heart because his world might end at that point.

"Look, Henry, I can’t speak for all women out there, but I think most of us want to be treated right," Mindy said. "To be loved, respected, and pampered, most women want to settle down faster than men as long as we feel safe and loved by our man."

"So if you want her to step up from a fiance to a wife, then you have to make her feel safe in all aspects, and trust is like—the basis of a relationship," Mindy said.

...

There was nothing but silence from Henry.

He was thinking about it and realized he got so possessive of her because he was scared.

"I know what I did isn’t right, but I can’t stop being overprotective of her," Henry admitted. "She doesn’t have anyone in her life that’s kind to her, and I feel awful thinking that someone else might hurt her again."

"Being overprotective is different from being crazy possessive," Mindy said. "You can still watch over her, make sure that she’s alright, but still trust her enough that she’ll make the better judgment, and what you do right now is being controlling, you treat her like a pet or a doll instead of a lover."

"I—"

Henry was speechless when Mindy called him out for treating Kate like a pet or a doll.

She was right.

When he was mad at Kate, he was thinking about locking Kate in their apartment, making sure she wouldn’t be able to leave him. He’d feed her daily and buy her everything she wanted.

But she wasn’t allowed to leave or have contact with someone outside.

He was about to execute that crazy plan in his mind until Kate suddenly shouted at him, threatening to leave because she was too exhausted to fight with him.

He worried about her and their baby since she wasn’t supposed to get stressed.

Mindy didn’t know what was going on in Henry’s mind right now, but she could guess that Henry was contemplating everything he had done to his poor fiancee.

"Ah, I start to pity your fiance a little," Mindy sighed. "I mean, it must be hard for her to be with someone with barely any understanding of his own feeling like you."

Mindy’s insult didn’t offend Henry because he knew it was true. This was the first time he fell in love so deeply, much deeper than his crush on Sarah when he was young.

"Also, you should pay me more for being a love counselor for you and your fiance. That’s a harder job than being a hostess," Mindy jokes.

Henry got serious and asked, "What are you doing here anyway? You attended a prestigious university. Shouldn’t you be working in a fancy office?"

"I got laid off from a startup company that went bankrupt. I’m currently trying to find a job, but I can’t seem to find a suitable one," Mindy replied. "I got approached by the manager of this bar when I was applying as a staff in this hotel, and here I am."

"Did you—"

"No, I didn’t prostitute myself," Mindy denied. "All I did was accompany the guest, if they dare to touch me inappropriately, they will get kicked out."

"Do you like this job though?"

"I mean, the pay is nice, but I still want to have a proper office job. I like it better when I don’t need to be close with too many strangers," Mindy replied. She stared at Henry and then asked, "I heard that you’re working in your family business now. I mean, who doesn’t know how many businesses your family has, the Grant family is really rich after all."

Henry easily caught on to her intention and asked, "Do you want a job from me?"

"You have a lot of businesses, it’d be great if you can give me a job in one of them," Mindy persuaded. "Come on, Boss, it should be a good payment for being your love counselor, right? Or at least, treat this as compensation for cheating on me back then."

Mindy didn’t care much about Henry leaving her for another woman back then. She knew really well about his reputation, and she knew that Henry was just playing with her.

But if digging up the past would give her a good job, then so be it.

Henry was thinking for a while until he nodded, "Alright, I will give you a job, but not in the same office as mine. I have a few companies which I invested heavily in. I’ll give you a job in one of them, and don’t worry, you’ll be given a good job based on your resume."

"Wow! Thank you so much, Boss!" Mindy was excited, thinking she didn’t need to climb the corporate ladder. She wanted to hug Henry for being so kind to her, but Henry quickly pushed her away and warned;

"I have a fiance, Mindy. I don’t want to touch another woman."

"Oh, sorry, Boss. I was just too excited!" Mindy said. "Ah, I can finally get a proper job, my parents won’t be mad anymore. We fought a lot because of my current job as a hostess."

Henry smiled, "Glad to help, and thank you for helping me as well."
