He Stole Me From My Deadbeat Husband
Chapter 399

Chapter 399: Chapter 399

"I’m willing to die for you. I’m serious, Katherine," Henry said without hesitation, but that sentence was enough to send Kate into a frenzy.

Because it sounded too serious for her liking, as if he would truly die for her.

"I don’t like lies, Henry..." Kate said.

"No, I’m not lying," this time, he relaxed his arms around her body, allowing her to look up and stare at his deep green eyes.

He didn’t lie this time.

He was serious about his words, "I cannot imagine the idea of living without you by my side. So if you leave me one day and tell me to die, then I will die."

After all, Henry worked hard for everything because he wanted Kate and their baby to be safe. He wanted to have this small family with them.

So, one day, if this small family was broken, he had nothing else to look for.

He’d rather leave this world and beg for Kate’s apology in the afterlife once they reunited.

Kate began to feel the fear creeping inside her heart.

Of course, she still loved Henry deeply. Even if she discovered Henry truly betrayed him, she still didn’t want him to die.

So Kate shook her head, "Please don’t say that, Henry. I want to live with you. I want us to be happy. I just... I don’t want to be betrayed..."

Henry smiled, gently wiping the tears on her cheeks, and assured her, "Just like what I told you before if there will be a time when you find out that I betrayed you, then you can punish me."

’If death is my atonement, then so be it,’ Henry cemented the will in his heart as he was serious about his words.

Kate shook her head, unable to hear such cruel words from Henry’s mouth.

"Please don’t betray me, Henry. I truly have nothing except you..."

"I will never... I will never betray you..." Henry assured. ’Not anymore,’ he added in his heart.

Thus, Kate and Henry embraced each other on the floor until Kate got too weak.

Thus, Henry carried her to the bed and allowed her to rest.

He kissed her and whispered, "You are my one and only, Katherine."

Henry left the room and closed the door. He leaned on the door, taking a few deep breaths to calm himself down.

But no matter how many deep breaths he took, he still couldn’t extinguish the fire in his heart.

He was furious at Graham for bringing his past sin to Katherine.

He was angry at Sarah for suggesting such a crazy idea and feeding him all the false information about Kate.

He was angry at Marlon for entertaining the idea of taking Kate’s baby and unleashing all his rage on the innocent baby.

Lastly, he was angry at himself for concocting such a terrible plan for a good and kindhearted woman like Kate.

Now that he was hopelessly in love with her, he couldn’t even lie while staring into her eyes.

"What have I done? Why did I sabotage my only chance to find true happiness?" Henry asked himself. He walked to the dining table and saw all the food that Kate had prepared for him.

Henry wasn’t exactly a picky eater, as long as the food was good, he would eat it.

But living with Kate changed his palate. It made him very picky about what he ate, mostly because all of Kate’s food tasted amazing, so he always felt the other food was simply inferior.

Henry scoffed.

He remembered his latest argument with Vernon.

-

’What do you think? My wife’s food is the best, right?’ Vernon asked after giving Henry a taste of Chloe’s cooking.

’Well, it’s good, but it’s clearly inferior to my wife’s cooking,’ Henry claimed. ’Kate is a clear winner here.’

’What!?’ Vernon acted as if Henry had offended him. ’I tasted Katherine’s food. But it’s not that good compared to my wife!’

This time, it was Henry who got offended, ’There must be something wrong with your tongue!’

-

Henry chuckled, "Well, I guess both of us are pretty biased."

Henry sat at the dining table and began eating the food Kate had prepared. It was already lukewarm, but it was still the best dinner that he had eaten.

He finished his dinner with a bittersweet feeling in his heart.

He kept blaming himself, thinking there would be a time when pandora box finally opened, and Kate would leave him.

Thus, unable to contain his nervousness, Henry grabbed his phone and called Michael.

—

"Yes, Boss?" Michael answered the call. "Do you need anything?"

"Did you get the information from Kate’s bodyguards just now?" Henry asked.

"I did. It’s about Graham, isn’t it?"

"... can you find a way to kill him?" Henry asked. "I will allow any method as long as he won’t disturb our peace."

"I can’t, Henry..." Michael sighed. "I’ve investigated this since a week ago, and it seems that Graham has expected us to ambush him, so I heard that he already told many of his lawyer colleagues that if he disappeared, they should quickly investigate Henry Grant and Michael Eckermann."

Henry gritted his teeth.

Of course, Graham would’ve thought about that. He was a lawyer. He had everything prepared for the worst possible scenario.

"While I can’t do anything about him, I will make sure to ban Graham from entering any of the restaurants and shops you or Vernon partly own. So it will limit his movement."

Henry sighed, "Is that the only way to stop him?"

"For now? Yes," Michael confirmed. "We can’t do much until you have enough influence to completely topple Marlon Grant. You know, once you are around Vernon’s level, you should have complete freedom to do ’extra’ things, right?"

"Right..."

Henry clenched his phone, knowing he simply had to work harder. He had to work like a madman if he truly wanted that freedom to wipe all of these insects out of this world

"Then keep an eye on Graham and also on Marlon. Make sure to tell me if Marlon does something."

"Got it, Boss."

Beep.
