He Stole Me From My Deadbeat Husband
Chapter 389

Chapter 389: Chapter 389

"Lunch together? Well, I only made enough food for Henry, so I don’t mind having lunch outside," Kate accepted the offer easily.

"What a coincidence! I also made enough lunch for my husband!"

Vernon frowned. He wanted to say that Chloe made enough food for three people. There was no way he could eat three portions all by himself, and judging by how Henry was drooling while looking at the lunchbox from his woman, Vernon was sure that he’d have to eat everything alone.

"But, wife you made—"Vernon stopped speaking when Chloe pinched his back, signaling him to shut up, and thus, Vernon zipped his mouth and wondered whether he should just go home and have a sleep after lunch.

"So, what are we waiting for? Let’s unpack the food and let these boys eat their lunch!" Chloe said cheerfully.

Chloe and Kate unpacked all of their food on the table, and once they were done, Kate wondered, "Uhh, are you sure this is all for your husband? Looks like three to four portions, honestly."

"Oh, don’t sweat it. My husband is a big eater. He will surely eat everything, riiiight?" Chloe smiled at her husband, and Vernon could only sigh and nod.

Chloe chuckled. She grabbed Kate’s wrist and told Henry, "I’ll borrow your wife for lunch. You boys go have your lunch, bye!"

Henry smiled at Chloe and Kate. He was actually glad that Chloe took the initiative to get closer to Kate, after all, they would be a big family soon since Vernon and Henry were more like brothers than cousins at this point. It would be difficult if Chloe and Kate didn’t have a good relationship.

"Please take care of my pregnant wife," Henry said.

"Oh, don’t worry about that. I already gave birth to two girls, so I can give her tips."

Thus, Kate and Chloe left the room, leaving Henry and Vernon alone.

They sat on the sofa, facing each other while looking at the food on the table.

Vernon gulped, "I can’t eat everything alone. Maybe I should give some of it to your secretary outside."

"Uh-huh, just tell her to come in. I don’t think I can eat your wife’s food. I’m going to eat everything that Kate made for me," Henry said while looking at all the food Kate had prepared. He was salivating as he couldn’t wait to dig in. "Man, is this how it feels to be married? I’d marry her in a heartbeat if she cooks for me every day."

"Well, that depends on the type of woman you’d marry," Vernon commented. "Chloe is a homemaker. She has always been one from her first marriage. She is a perfect fit for me, and her life is blessed."

"She would cook three times a day, manage the household, and take care of the kids," Vernon said. "Well, being a full-time homemaker is definitely a tiring job. That’s why I supply her with maids, butlers, and nannies. But she is still the one managing everything while I’m at work."

Vernon leaned on the sofa, staring at the ceiling, and muttered, "Married life is bliss, but there are still challenges. Your problem won’t disappear just because you got married to your loved one."

"But it’s still better than living a lonely life," Henry commented. "I told Kate I can face any problem as long as she is by my side, and I’m still faithful to that idea."

"Oh, definitely, Chloe and my children are the reason why I’m still working my ass off right now. I want to keep giving them a comfortable life," Vernon smiled. "You and I are similar, Henry. We get motivated by our loved ones, and we strive to be our best for the happiness of our wives and children."

Henry nodded, "That’s why I’ll keep working hard for her. Even if I must topple this world for her, I will do it."

Meanwhile, Kate and Chloe went to the office ground lobby.

Despite her gentle and sweet appearance, Chloe was quite talkative and cheery, so Kate kept silent while listening to Chloe’s stories and comments on random things.

It was actually fun to accompany someone who didn’t seem to have any burden on her. It was a nice change of pace after going through a difficult situation.

"How about we use my car?" Chloe offered.

Kate nodded and followed Chloe as she called her driver. Thus, they went to Chloe’s favorite restaurant for lunch and got a VIP seat without booking, much to Kate’s surprise.

"Are you a regular here? How come they give us VIP seats during busy lunchtime?" Kate asked.

"Well, my husband invested a lot of money in this restaurant. That’s why I bring you here. This is also a promotion, so I hope you can come here often with Henry," Chloe giggled. "I’ll tell the manager to give you a family member discount."

Kate couldn’t help but smile, seeing how sweet and cheery Chloe was. She seemed to live a good and problem-free life, something that Kate wished to have.

"Thanks, I’ll come here with Henry," Kate said. "Though, I don’t think I can come often."

"Hm? Why not?" Chloe asked.

Kate opened her mouth but closed it before she could say anything. She began to question whether it was a wise move to tell Chloe all of her problems.

She thought that Chloe might be scared of her story, or she might feel uncomfortable.

’I guess I shouldn’t overshare. Chloe is so kind that I can’t help wanting to tell her my woes,’ Kate thought as she prepared a lie to dodge the question.

But before she could say a thing, Chloe’s smile deepened, and she said, "It’s okay, Kate. I already know everything."

"... excuse me?"

"I know you are running away from Los Angeles to New York. I also know about your story with Henry. I know every detail, including Sarah and Marlon," Chloe said lightly. "So you don’t need to keep a secret from me."
