He Stole Me From My Deadbeat Husband
Chapter 387

Chapter 387: Chapter 387

Kate got up from the bed about twenty minutes later, wearing nothing but a bra and panties, and left the bedroom. She saw Henry was ready to leave, but he kept messing his tie so that he clicked his tongue out of annoyance.

Kate sighed.

She approached Henry who was standing in front of a full-body mirror, and pulled his tie so he’d face her instead.

"It’s been a while since I’ve fixed your tie. How did you do it when I wasn’t around?" Kate asked as she leisurely fixed Henry’s tie.

"I never use one when you’re not around. It’s too much of a hassle," Henry replied. His eyes observed his beloved, who looked so gorgeous in front of him. He couldn’t take his eyes off her lips, neck, and cleavage.

Henry swallowed as he suddenly felt thirsty.

"Really? Then how come you suddenly want to use one now?"

"Because I know you’ll fix my tie," Henry said. He wrapped his arms around Kate’s waist and gently rubbed her tailbone.

Kate shivered, but she tried her best not to respond to Henry’s touch as she knew he’d be late if they did it again in the morning.

"Hands off, Henry. You need to go to work."

"It’d be quick, I promise."

"There’s never a ’quick’ one with you. Besides, you’d be asking for more. I know you will," Kate said. She pushed him away once she was done fixing his tie.

Henry was at a loss when he was separated from her warmth, "Kitty..."

"Go to work now," Kate insisted. She stepped back to avoid Henry doing anything that’d arouse her even more.

Henry was about to kiss Kate, but Kate avoided him again, "Not even a kiss?" Henry asked.

"No, we know how it’ll end, Henry."

Henry sighed, and Kate couldn’t help but giggle, "I’ll give you a surprise later, so stop making a long face at me."

Henry’s mood was lifted once he heard the word ’surprise,’ like a kid who was about to get a birthday present, he said, "Then I’ll wait for it."

Kate watched as her man left the door and went to work.

After a long and vigorous night with Henry, she returned to the living room and stretched her body. It was still winter, so she dared not go to the balcony to watch the view.

But she stared at downtown New York from the window and sighed, "And here I am, in New York, abandoning my stable life in Los Angeles, my apartments, my job in the Emperor Publishing, and my safety just to be with Henry."

Whenever Kate thought about it, she couldn’t help but feel ridiculous about herself.

"Never in a million years would I imagine myself doing something so insanely brave... or stupid," Kate murmured. "Yet, I regret nothing. As long as I can stay with him, everything will be fine."

...

Kate contemplated whether abandoning everything to be with Henry was a wise move because she feared he might get bored of her and ditch her after she gave everything she had.

Unfortunately, there was nothing she could do to prevent this fear. Only time would tell whether Henry would be loyal to their commitment.

"O... okay, there is no point in worrying about something in the far future," Kate told herself. "I still have a lot to do, and first... I have to take a bath, it’s too sticky and slimy..."

Henry lost his smile once he entered the office. He got busy again with everything he had to do, and his mood turned sour instantly when he saw Mindy bringing a stack of documents to his office.

"Do we need to finish everything today?" He asked.

"Oh, definitely, Sir," Mindy replied with an empty smile. She had been working overtime for three days straight because her boss was enjoying his time with his woman. The pay was amazing, but Mindy wanted nothing except to sleep peacefully for the whole day. "You’re uncontactable for three days. You have a lot to catch up on."

Henry sighed, "Alright, go get me a coffee. I’ll need a strong one to get through these."

"Yes, Sir—Oh, Secretary Diamond called me just now. She said Mr. Phoenix Gray will come to the office today."

Henry frowned, "What for? Is there any problem? I think we did the advertisement project well, right?"

"I don’t know, Sir. He said he’ll come at lunchtime."

Henry wondered if there was something wrong with his project. Vernon’s first big ad project was difficult, but Henry thought he handled it pretty well, so there shouldn’t be any problem.

’So what’s the problem...’ Henry began to think about whether he made a mistake and found none. ’Ugh, I hope it’s not a difficult problem. I’m yet to be over my three-day honeymoon stage with Kitty.’

Henry waited until lunchtime when his office door was knocked, and Vernon walked in with none other than his wife, Chloe Phoenix Gray.

Vernon had a big smile as he saw Henry busy with his documents.

"Working hard, I see," Vernon commented.

Henry got up from his chair. He tried to smile, but it looked forced because he was nervous about what problem he had this time.

He shook Henry’s hand and said, "Well, I have to impress my biggest investor, right?"

"Hahahah!" Vernon laughed freely. "Well, you’re right, but you should loosen up a little, and don’t worry, we’re not here because of any problem. I’m here with my wife to congratulate you on your first big project! It’s a huge success!"

Henry let out a relieved sigh after he was assured. Truly, doing business with your cousin was even more nerve-wracking than working with a complete stranger.

"You should’ve told me on the phone, damn it! I thought I made a mistake!" Henry said frustratedly, and Vernon simply laughed about it.

"Well, I was about to invite you to my home for dinner together. But I know you’re too busy, so I came here with my wife, who cooked an extra meal for us," Vernon said proudly. He wrapped his arm around his wife’s shoulder and asked, "You’ve seen her before, right?"
