He Stole Me From My Deadbeat Husband
Chapter 277

Chapter 277: Chapter 277

[Song Recommendation: V - Rainy Days.]

"Why would you say that?" Kate asked. She didn’t know why Henry kept on his insecurity about this problem. "I told you just now that we should work together so your parents will accept us."

"I also told you many times that I trust you. I’m not a kid, Henry. I won’t get mad because your parents can’t accept me."

Henry wrapped his arms tighter around her waist as if not wanting to let her go, "I wish the problem was that simple. But it’s not. It’s much more serious."

"Then tell me what it is so we can solve it together!" Kate continued pressing, feeling a bit annoyed because Henry was being confusing right now. "Communication is the key to a relationship, Henry. How can I trust you if you can’t be honest with me?"

Henry felt an unprecedented amount of pressure as Kate kept on pushing him to tell the truth. But he knew.

He knew that Kate would curse him to hell if he was honest.

"What if the problem is really bad? Will you still love me?" Henry asked, trying to gain some courage.

Kate chuckled, "Don’t be silly. As long as you’re not trying to betray or hurt me and our baby, I will always be by your side," Kate said. She ran her hand across his strong arms and added, "And I believe my man is not that kind of scum."

Henry shuddered as he could feel the bad omen.

He was thinking about telling Kate the truth about his plan, but now that Kate already listed out her restriction, Henry realized there was a fine line he shouldn’t cross.

’Thank God I haven’t told her the truth. She would hate me if I did, and I... I cannot afford to be hated by my beloved,’ Henry thought. ’I don’t care if I have to lie to her. I will solve this problem myself and keep her in the dark. I will keep her calm, especially when pregnant and vulnerable.’

"So, can you tell me what the problem is?" Kate repeated, hoping to finally find closure.

"I will tell you later. I will meet with my parents first," Henry dodged the question. "Besides, you shouldn’t think about this. You’re still pregnant. You’re supposed to be stress-free."

"I will be stress-free once we solve this problem," Kate insisted.

...

"We should sleep now, Kitty. It’s been such a long day. It’s not good for your health," Henry said.

Kate knew that he just wanted to dodge the question. She didn’t understand why Henry made such a big deal about this. They weren’t the only couple with this problem.

But she knew that she couldn’t press him further. He looked like he was under a lot of pressure right now.

So she just nodded and lay on the bed, closing her eyes despite the question lingering in her mind.

It didn’t take long for Kate to fall asleep, but not for Henry.

He stared at the ceiling, and his mind was filled with fear. He was so scared of the idea of Kate hating that he left after knowing the truth.

’There is no doubt that she will never let me see our baby if she knows...’ Henry thought. ’I can’t live bearing the shame of not being able to see my wife and daughter. I’d rather die.’

Henry knew this was his karma.

He was thinking about deceiving Kate and taking the baby with him to get full control over the Grant businesses and inherit everything. He wanted to avenge his brother’s death by burning everything to the ground, ensuring nothing was left for that awful family. It would be best if Marlon and Penny were still alive and witnessed how the long-standing family with a rich history got destroyed by its heir.

He was so depressed when he knew his brother had been killed just because he was in love with a woman from a bad background. He didn’t blame Kate because he knew that Kate had nothing to do with this, but he couldn’t help to feel resentful at that time, thinking that his brother wouldn’t die if he didn’t fall in love with Kate.

He was so engrossed with the idea of revenge that he thought he had the heart to deceive Kate and steal her baby.

’And now, I have fallen in love with you. I’m so in love with you that I feel like shit whenever I remember about my previous plan...’

Henry turned to the right and gently spooned Kate, who was already sleeping peacefully. He kissed her nape and shoulder repeatedly.

"I will protect you and our daughter. I will find a way, I promise."

"Don’t forget to update me about Irene Banks’ Netflix adaptation progress, okay?" Kate reminded Henry as she followed him to the front door. "Or maybe I should just accompany her to the Netflix headquarters. It’s easier to do that, right?"

"I will tell Mai and Michael to accompany Irene," Henry said. He kissed her forehead and smiled, but his smile looked a bit forced. "Just rest at home, or if you’re bored, you can buy anything you want to make yourself feel better."

Kate sighed, but she said nothing, watching Henry enter the elevator and go downstairs.

"Will he be okay?" Kate murmured. Henry told her during breakfast that he’d meet with his parents today, and it looked like he was about to face his execution.

"What kind of person Marlon and his wife are? Are they truly that cruel?" Kate remembered her conversation with James back then. He mentioned that his father was an asshole. But said that his mother was an angel.

—

’And angel married to an asshole. Can’t believe my Mom puts up with his bullshit,’ James said back then.

—

"Am I underestimating the scale of the problem?" Kate asked herself. "But I feel we can do anything as long as we are together."

Kate stared at the elevator for a while and lowered her head, staring at her belly, "I just hope he can be truthful about it. I will stick with him as long as he doesn’t have the intention to hurt me and our baby."

Kate turned around and entered the apartment as she felt she was getting nowhere with this problem.
