He Stole Me From My Deadbeat Husband
Chapter 287

Chapter 287: Chapter 287

"I think you’re just overthinking, Ma’am," Mai said. "It’s obvious that Mr. Grant is very much in love with you. I’d probably get a heart attack if we caught him two-timing you with another woman."

Kate chuckled, "I thought you didn’t like men that much. Is Henry and Michael an exception?"

"It’s not like I don’t like men, Ma’am, I just..." Mai paused for a moment. "I’m just extra careful because I don’t want to get hurt."

"And do you think Michael will hurt you?"

"N—No. I don’t think so," Mai’s face heated up as she had a planned date with Michael in three days. "He looks like a brute, but he is very gentle. I’m so glad since we will work together for a long time."

"Mhm, if you say so," Kate chuckled. She felt less tense after talking with Mai. "I hope you’re right, Mai. Maybe I’m just overthinking. Henry seems so in love with me, so there is no way he will cheat on me, right?"

"That’s just outrageous, Ma’am!" Mai declared. "Maybe he’s hesitant to introduce you because of a family problem? Maybe he just doesn’t want the hassle? I don’t think Mr. Grant is close to his family."

"Yeah, he’s not close to his family at all," Kate said. "At least that’s what he told me."

"Then he just doesn’t want you to get stressed out!" Mai said. "You’re pregnant, Ma’am, and this is your first pregnancy. My Mom told me that the first pregnancy is usually the hardest, especially when you’re not used to the mood swings."

Kate chuckled, "I guess you’re right. I’m not used to mood swings. Henry and I fought a lot because of it. Sometimes I feel really bad for him."

Kate was in a much better mood after talking with Mai.

Maybe she was right. Kate shouldn’t be too stressed out about it.

She believed in Henry, and that man had proven himself as a capable man many times.

’I guess I just need to sit back and relax.’

Thus, Kate went to the office, surprising the other staff, who thought their Chief Editor wouldn’t be working for a few more months.

Kate bumped into Michael, who just walked out of his office.

Michael paused for a moment before greeting his female boss, "Good afternoon, Ma’am. I didn’t know that you’d go to the office today."

"Did Henry tell you that I’m sick as well?"

Michael said nothing.

Of course, Henry didn’t say that.

He told Michael that he was meeting with Marlon and Penny today and had been trying his best to keep Kate clueless about the problem because he didn’t want Kate to get hurt.

Michael didn’t agree with how Henry handled this problem, but he had no say because he also had no idea how to tackle it.

"Ma’am, if you’re not feeling well, you should just rest at home. We can handle everything just fine here."

Kate rolled her eyes, "I am perfectly healthy, and I can’t just sit in my room like an idiot for weeks. I am used to work."

"Now step aside, Michael. I’m going to my office."

Michael had no choice but to step aside, allowing Kate to enter the Chief Editor’s office.

Mai followed her boss and looked over her shoulder to shrug at Michael.

Michael shrugged back, acting as if he was innocent about all this.

He watched as Kate and Mai entered the office and hurriedly called Henry, who had just left the mental facility.

"What is it? Is there something happening in the office?" Henry asked.

"Yes," Michael replied. "Your wife is here."

"WHAT?!" Henry’s heartbeat beat fast the moment he got the news. "But nothing is happening in the office, right? My parents—or Sarah, are not in there, right?"

"No, they’re not," Michael said. "But you probably should handle Sarah as soon as possible. She texted me a few hours ago, casually asking about your situation since she worries about the plan."

"Why didn’t she text me instead?" Henry asked.

"I don’t know. I just want to make sure that you are prepared. It’d be a disaster if Kate and Sarah accidentally bumped into each other."

"I’ll call Sarah after this. Thanks for the heads up, Michael. Make sure that you keep my woman safe. She is pregnant with my baby," Henry instructed.

"Got it, Sir."

Beep.

—

Henry parked his car at the side of the street to calm himself down.

He didn’t want Kate to go to the office because of the risk of her accidentally meeting Marlon, Penny, or Sarah.

Sarah might not be malicious, but she could create a misunderstanding between them because Henry hadn’t told Kate about his fake engagement with Sarah yet.

Henry quickly called Sarah, and she finally picked up the call after the third ring.

—

"Finally, Henry, it’s been long since the last time you called me. Do you not miss me at all?" Sarah opened their conversation with a small joke. She was always very lax and kind, and her soft voice was enough to make any man’s heart waver.

But not with Henry.

He was panicking right now, scared that Kate might be mad if she discovered he had a fake fiancee.

"Sarah, I heard from Michael that you texted him a few hours ago. Is there something you want to talk about?"

"Something? You mean a lot of things, right? Henry, you haven’t called me for months! I know I’m just a small part of your big plan, but I am still part of it, and I’ve been worried sick since Penny complained to me that you’ve disowned her as a mother."

"Oh, come on, you know that’s just an exaggeration," Henry said. He finally had a thin smile after talking with Sarah.

Sarah was the closest woman to Henry. He had a childhood crush on her up until his teenage years. But after Sarah rejected him, Henry had turned that crush into a friendship.

Now that James wasn’t here anymore and Graham was against his relationship with Kate, he only had Michael and Sarah as his friends.
