He Stole Me From My Deadbeat Husband
Chapter 383

Chapter 383: Chapter 383

A month had passed since Kate stayed in Dahlia’s villa. She was safe and secure while continuously contacting all of her authors. So far, Kate had enough contact with popular authors to start a publishing company that would have 100% guaranteed success.

She could work in peace because Dahlia and her subordinates ensured that Kate was well protected while Henry was busy developing his business.

Of course, after having a private talk, Henry decided to spend at least once a week in the villa to visit his beloved. Even if he could only be there for one night, it was enough for the pregnant Kate to feel better about herself.

Just like tonight, when Dahlia hosted a dinner to celebrate the growth of Henry’s company.

Mai and Michael joined as they sat together at the dinner table.

"Okay, we’re past Thanksgiving and Christmas, but the spirit is still with us, right?" Dahlia chuckled as she told Howard to put the Thanksgiving turkey on the table.

Kate and Henry sat side by side, and their hands were intertwined under the desk.

Kate was actually awed by the delicious Thanksgiving turkey and commented, "Oh, this brings back memories."

"Memories?" Dahlia raised her brows. "It’s just a Thanksgiving turkey, honey."

"Well, it’s still a memory for me," Kate replied. "The last time I had a Thanksgiving dinner with my family was when I was uh... sixteen years old."

"Wha—!" Dahlia was shocked; she wanted to question more, but Henry shook his head, telling his Mom with his eyes that the topic shouldn’t be brought up today.

Dahlia quickly fixed her expression and said, "Then I hope you’ll like my Thanksgiving turkey recipe."

"Oh, I will," Kate nodded. "It looks delicious."

Howard began cutting the turkey and sharing it to the five people at the dining table: Michael, Mai, Kate, Henry, and Dahlia.

Michael and Mai were sitting across from Kate and Henry, and while Mai seemed to be happy with their late thanksgiving dinner, Michael was far from it.

He frowned, and each time he tried to smile, it looked forced.

"What’s wrong, Michael?" Kate asked out of concern.

"Oh, it’s nothing, Ma’am," Michael lowered his head, realizing he might’ve been too obvious.

Kate glanced at Henry and elbowed him, to which Henry responded with an ignorant shrug.

"Alright, let’s have dinner together before we think of something else, okay?" Dahlia said to warm up the mood, and thus, they decided to put whatever problem they had aside and ate the dinner prepared by Dahlia and her cook.

It was already late at night, and Kate slept peacefully in Henry’s embrace.

She was already six months pregnant and had become very clingy. She always wanted to be with Henry, and this was a once-per-week situation that she had been waiting for. Though, if she could, she’d want Henry to hug her every night.

Meanwhile, Henry woke up right in the middle of the night.

He checked the clock on the wall and carefully rolled to the edge of the bed.

Henry got up, but before he left, he kissed Kate and whispered, "Sleep well, my Love. I still have things to do."

Henry left the bedroom and went to the kitchen to talk with Michael, who had been waiting there the whole time.

"So, what do you want to talk about, Michael?" Henry asked. "I hope this is important because you’re disturbing my once-a-week time with Kate. You don’t know how important my time with her is, it’s my only anchor before I go insane with my workload"

"This is a critical and dire situation, Sir," Michael replied. "It’s about Erin."

"Erin? The bitch?" Henry frowned. "And what about her? Did she die? Well, it’s understandable if she died of hypothermia."

"I wish she’d just die," Michael sighed. "But I don’t know her fate right now. Faro and his wife are uncontactable."

"Uncontactable?"

"Yes, usually they would give me a monthly report of what happened with Erin. Their reports are mostly the same, but it’s an assurance that Erin is still under control," Michael said. "Unfortunately, I didn’t get any report from them since last month, and when I tried to contact them, they were simply unreachable."

"It’s still winter, and they live on a small island outside of Greenland’s main island. Maybe their connection got cut off because of the harsh winter," Henry tried to rationalize the missing contact. "Besides, we don’t need to worry much about that bitch. She is living with the walruses right now. She can’t do anything."

"Yeah, that’s right... I’m just worried another surprise might be waiting for us," Michael said. He leaned on the wall and sighed, "You don’t understand the guilt I felt when I saw Mai and Kate get hurt because I got careless. I never expected a sudden ambush from Marlon’s men."

Henry’s expression turned heavy in an instant. He had been trying to forget that harrowing phone call from Kate because he didn’t want to lose control and fly to Los Angeles just to punch his father into the afterlife.

Busying himself with work and spending blissful time with Kate were the only two things he could do to distract himself from going crazy and vengeful over his father.

Of course, he hadn’t let go of his grudge.

Marlon Grant would eventually pay for what he did to his family. Henry just needed more time to build his company and influence.

"I will try to contact them again later. I can’t let this slide, "Michael said seriously. "And you shouldn’t relax too much, Henry. You know how crazy your Dad and ex-fiance could be."

Henry clicked his tongue, "Everything is according to plan. The business begins to thrive, and if my projection is right, Marlon won’t be able to do anything about it."

"I’ll contact my connections in New York. I’ll make sure Kate and Mai will be safe and secure in this new apartment," Michael said.

Henry looked at Michael, who seemed so serious. He was grateful that Michael took his job seriously. Though he was wondering about one thing, "How’s your relationship with Mai?"
