He Stole Me From My Deadbeat Husband
Chapter 379

Chapter 379: Chapter 379

"Henry, why do you keep talking about yourself? What about her?" Mindy asked.

"What about her?" Henry frowned. "She is safe and secure in my mother’s villa right now. She is doing just fine."

"That’s so generic, you know that, right?" Mindy rolled her eyes. "I mean, do you know her current condition? You told me that she is pregnant, and I feel like, for a pregnant woman, there should be a lot more that she thinks about."

"... I don’t get it. She is safe and secure. She can rest well while I’m working here. What problem does she have?"

"Oh God, I think I’m going to snap at my own Boss," Mindy facepalmed. "A pregnant woman tends to be more emotional and clingy to her partner. So, I doubt she will say anything after not meeting you for a while."

"So, let me ask you again, Boss. What about her? What did she say to you except that she is in your mother’s villa right now?" Mindy asked again, and this time, Henry truly had no answer.

Because he just realized that he knew nothing about Kate’s current condition. Of course, she would say that she was all right. That’s what she always said to pacify Henry.

Even if she was in a dire situation, she always said that everything was just fine and he needed to focus on his job so they could have the future they wanted.

But what about her?

Was she really okay now?

"Do you get it?" Mindy asked as she noticed that her Boss was pondering. "It doesn’t take a genius to see that she has things that weigh her mind. You should’ve kept your mouth shut and allowed her to speak."

Henry lowered his head.

He felt ashamed because he had been so occupied with work that he neglected his beloved’s needs. She must’ve been stressed out and lonely as well.

Mindy let out a relieved sigh after seeing the regret in Henry’s face, "Look, I know it’s not my place to tell you what to do. Even if we’re friends, you are still my Boss—"

"Let me listen to your suggestion," Henry said.

"Well, I suggest you give her a chance to talk. She will appreciate it," Mindy said. "I know money is important in a relationship, but what’s the point of having so much money when you have a dead heart?"

Mindy finally stepped back because she had said enough, "Well, if you need me for anything, just use the intercom. Remember, Boss, all these big projects and the money you will earn won’t mean anything when you have a dead heart. I’ve met enough rich men as a hostess to know how sad that life is."

Henry nodded. He waited for Mindy to leave his office and then called his Mom’s number again.

Dahlia picked up the call after ten seconds;

—

"Yes, Son? Do you need something?" Dahlia asked.

"Mom, is Kate with you right now? Please give the phone to her. I want to talk," Henry said.

"Well, she is resting in her room. I don’t want to disturb her, especially after you break her heart and make her cry," Dahlia said straight to the point... with a bit of exaggeration.

Just as she expected, Henry must’ve done something ignorant that made Kate sad. Her second son could be a jerk sometimes, even if he didn’t mean it.

So he needed a constant smack on his back.

Henry felt that his heart had been stabbed with a knife called guilt. He didn’t know his ignorance could cause his beloved to cry.

"I—I was too excited talking about my progress, so I ignored her and kept rambling. I want to apologize. Can you give the phone to her?" Henry asked.

"No," Dahlia refused. "It’d be disingenuous of me to give the phone to her. It’d make it as if I am the one who forced you to apologize."

"Besides, I think Kate needs more than just an apology. She went through a lot of difficult stuff just to be with you. You should’ve done more for her, Son."

Beep.

—

Dahlia hung up the call, indirectly telling Henry to do whatever he thought was right.

She couldn’t help but pity Katherine because she sometimes had to deal with Henry’s ignorance and childishness.

’But he has a good heart. He will learn, eventually.’

"Tsk," Henry was annoyed that his mother refused to cooperate. But he knew that she was right.

He had to do more than just give a call. She went through so much just to support him. The least he could do was to be with her.

Not long after the call ended, Dahlia pinpointed a location for Henry through a message, so if he wanted to go there, he could.

Henry quickly called Mindy with the intercom and told her, "Book me a flight ticket to Michigan right now. I want the fastest flight."

"Wha, Michigan?" Mindy was shocked. "Are there any important business meetings in Michigan?"

"No, but this is much more important than business," Henry said.

Kate slept through the evening. She didn’t have the motivation to do anything. She was hungry but did not intend to get up and eat something for dinner.

She just wanted to close her eyes and get rid of all the ridiculous thoughts in her mind, mostly about how Henry didn’t seem to care much about her well-being.

All he wanted to talk about was his achievements and progress. Though Kate was proud of him, she just felt abandoned.

As if she was just a doll with a voice box that had to encourage him constantly, but he would abandon her after he got too busy.

’Will it be like this until the end? Once he succeeded, he might forget about me and our child. He might drown himself with work and wouldn’t come home anymore," Kate muttered.

Kate knew that she was being too unreasonable. So, instead of arguing with Henry, she decided to stay silent.

She closed her eyes again, wishing enough sleep would wash away the bitterness in her heart.
