He Stole Me From My Deadbeat Husband
Chapter 298

Chapter 298: Chapter 298

Since he was young, Sarah was like a big sister who would protect him. Sarah would watch over Henry whenever they were together, no matter how menial his activities were.

She would also control whatever he was doing. Sometimes, she also reminded him of what to eat.

Sarah was indeed very controlling but in a good way.

It had become a habit for them to be together that at some point, Henry began to develop a crush on Sarah, only to get rejected when he was in high school.

But it was understandable, and Henry moved on quickly because he knew that Sarah wasn’t interested in him romantically.

’I guess this one will be easy,’ Henry thought.

"Can we meet? I want to talk about an important matter," Henry requested.

"Oh? Important matter? Is this about you and your family? Or maybe about Kate?"

"No, it’s about us," Henry cleared. "I want to talk about our engagement."

Sarah went silent instantly.

If Henry could see Sarah’s face right now, he would see the darkened gaze full of anger from the woman who was supposed to be an angel gracing the earth.

Sarah took a deep breath to calm herself down. She disliked this feeling of losing control.

’This is why I should’ve watched over him when he said he wanted to take Kate’s baby. He is an obviously hopeless romantic. Of course, he would fall in love just like his brother,’ Sarah recalled how James brazenly told her that he was deeply in love with Kate and would never let go of his feelings. ’These two brothers are a bunch of idiotic horny dogs I should’ve trained better.’

Sarah was pissed off right now, but she tried to hide her hostility, "Really? Hmm, I guess the engagement is pretty important, huh? After all, I already introduced you to my family and friends."

"Yeah..." Henry knew it might be embarrassing for Sarah to get her engagement annulled. But this was for the best because it was an engagement of convenience in the first place.

"Alright, come to my apartment. Let’s talk about this in private."

"Thanks, Sarah, you are the best."

"And you still want to find another woman?" Sarah joked. "I’m kidding. Come here, and we can clear up everything."

Beep.

—

Sarah had a crooked smile as she hung up the call.

To say that she was pissed off was an understatement. She was incredibly angry at Henry for betraying her after they got engaged.

"I should’ve put him on the leash. Why did I allow him to get close to that bitch? She seduced James, and of course, she would seduce Henry as well."

She gritted her teeth as she imagined Kate with a smug smile, rubbing her pregnant belly. She couldn’t wait to rip that bitch’s stomach open! She wanted Henry to know there was always the risk of playing around with her.

"Okay, okay, calm down, Sarah. The angrier you got, the uglier you look," Sarah took a deep breath. She knew that she shouldn’t look angry in front of Henry.

She needed to keep that elegant and calm facade in front of him—and everyone else. Because she was a born noble, she needed to always look prim and proper.

"Henry is just a lost boy. He might be twenty-four years old but still very immature and pampered. That’s the way it should be," Sarah said, her eyes growing cold as she remembered that cute, stupid boy when they were young. "I will make sure that he will stay stupid so he won’t question a thing."

Henry went up with the elevator to Sarah’s penthouse. She recently purchased the penthouse, saying that she preferred to stay in Los Angeles, mostly because of the weather and also because she didn’t want to leave Henry alone at his lowest moment.

Henry felt extremely guilty, knowing that he had repeatedly bothered Sarah. He was the one who requested the engagement of convenience, and he was the one who asked to annul it.

’She is too kind to me. I don’t know how I could repay her kindness.’

Henry pressed the bell, and the door was opened from the inside.

"Hi, Henry—Oh, what’s with your face? Why do you look so sad?" Sarah asked out of concern.

Henry smiled bitterly, "Things happened, that’s why I’m here to... you know."

"I know," Sarah smiled back. She grabbed Henry’s hand and pulled him to walk in. "Just come inside and talk about it."

Henry entered Sarah’s apartment. He looked around because it was his first visit to Sarah’s penthouse.

He was so busy with work and Kate that he didn’t have much time to spend with Sarah. Though, it didn’t matter much since they were just friends.

Or so Henry thought.

"You can sit there—" Sarah pointed at two rattan chairs with a small, round coffee table. "—I’ll make tea for you."

"Thanks, Sarah. I’m sorry that I bothered you so much."

Sarah rolled her eyes, "Come on, Henry, you act like we’re strangers. We’ve been friends since you were just five years old. We stayed far longer than many married couples."

Henry had a dry laugh at Sarah’s joke because that small joke only made him even more guilty of what was about to happen.

He sat on the rattan chair, waiting for Sarah, who brought a tray of brunch: Two cups of fragrant ginger tea and a plate of biscuits.

She served it on the table and sat directly facing Henry.

Sarah sat straight and sipped the tea elegantly, showing that she was indeed educated in etiquette, "So, where do you want to start?" She asked.

Henry wouldn’t lie that Sarah was indeed a woman who was perfect to be Mrs. Grant, replacing Dahlia. She was a noble-born, and she was highly educated and smart.

If he hadn’t met the love of his life, Kate. He might end up marrying Sarah, and though he wouldn’t love her, at least he would be at peace together since they had mutual interest and understanding of each other.

But he met with Kate, and there was no other woman who would occupy his heart as much as her.
