He Stole Me From My Deadbeat Husband
Chapter 380

Chapter 380: Chapter 380

As Kate began to lose consciousness, she suddenly felt a strong arm wrapped around her pregnant belly, engulfing her in a warm embrace from behind.

Kate gasped and opened her eyes instantly. She was about to struggle before the man whispered, "Kitty, it’s me."

Kate stopped struggling and looked over her shoulder. She saw the blonde hair of her man as Henry buried his face on her shoulder.

Kate was still trying to process the idea of Henry, who suddenly popped out right on her bed. She thought he was just a fragment of her dream since she often dreamed of him.

But the touch and the warmth he brought was real.

So it wasn’t a dream, but why would Henry waste his time here when he had so many things to do?

"H—Henry, why are you here?" Kate asked. "You have a lot to do at work! You told me about the big ad project. You’re going to risk it!"

"Sshh... relax, Kitty, everything is under control... well, except one thing..." Henry replied.

"And what is it? I’ll help you as much as I can," Kate took the initiative. "Just tell me."

Henry felt hurt. He felt his pride had been crushed after knowing how much Kate cared for him, even though she must be upset now.

She was willing to abandon whatever bitterness in her mind just to help him.

And he took everything for granted.

"I don’t need any help from you. I want you to stay like this," Henry said. "I’m sorry, Katherine."

"Sorry?"

"Yes, I’m sorry for neglecting you," Henry muttered. "I should’ve known that you also need me as much as I need you. I’m sorry for being ignorant."

Kate was speechless by Henry, "Did you fly from New York to Michigan only to find me?"

"What else?" Henry retorted. "I want to meet my beautiful woman. I want to embrace her and apologize for how ignorant I was to her."

"But your work..."

"I’ve everything taken care of. Stop talking about work, Kitty. Let’s enjoy this moment for now," Henry said. "Besides, I want to listen to what’s in your mind right now."

Kate bit her lower lip. She wasn’t used to getting all the attention like this. She also felt guilty because she might’ve made him worried and forced him to ditch his office just to appease her.

She wasn’t a spoiled girl. She never was.

But right now, her heart told her that she desired nothing but to be spoiled by her man.

"I—" Kate hesitated briefly before continuing, "I miss you so much, Henry. I went through a lot. I almost got murdered by an intruder sent by your father. I had to run away to San Diego to hide, then went on a long journey to Michigan to get closer to you."

"I’ve done so much, but why don’t you care?!" Kate began to raise her voice subconsciously. She got emotional thinking about her hardships, only for Henry to ignore her and get busy with himself.

"The least you could do is to take the initiative to welcome me in here, or at least call me first! I’ve sacrificed so much for you. All I want is for you to make me a priority!"

Henry said nothing, listening while burying his face on her shoulder.

He knew he was wrong and allowed Kate to vent her frustration.

"That company you’re developing—I know that you work hard for it. That’s why I’m contacting all of my authors to move to the new publishing company."

"But is it so hard for you to care about me for a moment? Am I that replaceable to you?" Kate asked. She began to cry, and her body began to tremble. "I feel like you’re starting this company not for me but for yourself. You’re just using me and our baby as an excuse. We are disposable, right?"

"NO!" Henry finally reacted when Kate began to speak nonsense. "I did everything for you, our baby, and our small family! I will walk through hell and back to make you happy!"

"And I’m not happy now, Henry..." Kate murmured. "My gut feeling told me that you will eventually replace me with someone else. You might see me and our kids as a nuisance at work, and you’ll find someone younger and more beautiful later on."

Henry began to panic as Kate kept on spouting nonsense. He turned Kate’s body and forced her to face him. Kate obliged, but she couldn’t hide her tears anymore.

She kept crying while staring at Henry, who looked worried, "I don’t know why I am like this. I’m sorry, Henry. I’m just scared that maybe my feelings are exaggerated. Maybe I’ve poured too much into our relationship when you don’t feel the same about me..."

Henry wiped Kate’s tears with his thumb and caressed her cheek. She kissed her softly and replied, "You should know that all the terrible ideas in your mind right now are not true. I do love you. I love you so much that I might get crazy thinking about it."

"I risked everything so we can have a good life. I turned my life upside down for us! I’m not good at assuring, but please trust me on this one," Henry said earnestly. "I did everything for you, Katherine. I promise that things will get easier after a while."

Kate hated that Henry always looked and sounded so convincing when he talked to her, and she couldn’t help but fall for it.

"You could be a good love scammer, you know that, right?" Kate muttered. "I can’t help falling into the same hole and trust you again..."

Henry chuckled, "Don’t be mad, okay? I know I’m wrong. That’s why I’m here to make up for my mistake."

"So, what do you want to do next? I’m yours for the night," Henry said.

"Nothing," Kate replied. She hugged her man tight until there was no gap between them, "I just want to sleep with you by my side. It’s been a while since we slept together, Honey."
