He Stole Me From My Deadbeat Husband
Chapter 400

Chapter 400: Chapter 400

A month had passed since their last fight. Kate hadn’t seen Graham anywhere, so she simply believed that Henry must’ve done something to Graham until he didn’t dare to show up.

Which was great because Kate didn’t want to see that face anymore.

She was already seven months pregnant, and her belly had gotten so big. She had to basically abandon all of her old clothing and opt to use loose dresses.

Luckily, spring was around the corner, so she didn’t need to wear too many layers of coat just to warm herself.

Kate had just finished cooking breakfast, and went to the bedroom to wake her man.

She shook his body and said, "Honey, wake up. Breakfast is ready."

"Mrhmm? Huh?" Henry squinted as he heard the word ’breakfast.’

He opened his eyes slowly and saw his beautiful woman smiling at him.

Kate repeated, "Breakfast is ready. You need to wake up now. Don’t you remember that we have an appointment with the doctor for an ultrasound?"

Henry’s eyes were wide open immediately. Kate’s words were like a strong caffeine that instantly got him wide awake.

"Damn! Are we late for the appoinment?" Henry asked.

Kate chuckled, "Not at all. But you need to eat breakfast and freshen up. The appointment is at eleven."

"Okay, let’s eat breakfast together!" Henry said. But Kate refused;

"You know I don’t eat breakfast, right?" Kate said. "I ate three boiled bitter gourds in the morning. So it’ll be fine."

Henry shuddered when he heard bitter gourd again.

For some reason, Kate’s pregnancy cravings were either bitter like a bitter gourd or sour like sucking a lime.

Henry was worried about their baby once it was born since Kate seemed to hate anything sweet when she was pregnant.

’What if the baby turns out to be grumpy because Kate doesn’t like sweet things?’ Henry wondered.

But he didn’t think much about it and went out to eat his breakfast.

Kate was already fully prepared for their doctor’s appointment, when Henry had just finished a quick shower in the morning.

"What do you think our baby’s gender would be?" Kate asked.

"A girl," Henry replied without hesitation. "I hope it’s a girl."

"Eh? Why?" Kate raised her brow. "A boy would be cute, right? I bet he will look like you."

"Oh, he will, and I don’t want that," Henry said. "I’m afraid if it’s a boy, you will have to raise the child version of me. Trust me, you don’t want it. I was a little demon that created havoc everywhere."

"Were you that naughty back then?" Kate asked.

"I was spoiled rotten. James was a good big brother, but he would find all of my pranks to be fun, even protecting me from my parent’s scolding at times. He wasn’t strict at all."

"Nor did Dahlia?"

"My Mom adored me so much that each time she scolded me, she would apologize the next minute," Henry sighed. "That’s why raising a dedicated and studious daughter like you would be better, right? Besides, I also want to care for a child version of you, who must be very cute."

Kate and Henry had differing opinions on this. Kate wanted a baby boy because it’d be cute to see young Henry, while Henry wanted the opposite because young Kate would be the most precious little princess ever.

"Well, in the end, whether it’s a boy or a girl, we still have to be great parents for our child, right?" Kate warned, worried Henry wouldn’t be happy if it were a boy.

"Of course! I will be the luckiest man on earth as long as the baby is born healthy and you’re in a good condition after labor," Henry assured. "Now let’s go. We might be late if there’s traffic."

Kate and Henry arrived at the hospital and met with the doctor to do an ultrasound.

Kate lay on the hospital bed while Henry stood beside her, holding her hand.

The doctor rubbed a gel around Kate’s pregnant belly and used the machine to create an image of the unborn baby on the monitor.

The doctor had a big smile when she saw the baby and said, "The baby is healthy, no complications, no congenital disabilities."

Kate and Henry looked at each other with smiles on their faces. Though they were curious about their baby’s gender, they cared more about the baby’s health.

After all, Kate had many traumatic experiences during pregnancy and also endured stress that would usually result in miscarriage if not handled well.

But Kate’s willpower to bring the baby into this world was amazing. She was like a fortress that wouldn’t crumble even after getting hit by the storm and earthquake.

All because she really wanted a baby of her own.

"Then, what about our baby’s gender, Doctor?" Kate asked.

The doctor pointed at something in the monitor and said, "Do you see that? It’s a boy."

Kate was so happy that she almost jumped out of bed, "Henry, do you hear that? We’re going to have a son!" Kate said excitedly.

Kate thought Henry would be as excited as her, but he did not respond.

She turned her head and saw that Henry was dazed while staring at the monitor, "Henry?"

"Oh—"Henry snapped out of his daze and smiled at Kate, "We’re going to have a son. I’m so happy, Kitty."

"You don’t look too happy," Kate frowned. "Do you really want a daughter?"

"N—No, a son or a daughter, I will love them equally," Henry said. "I was just surprised because I thought we would have a daughter."

The doctor sensed the discord between the husband and wife and thought it was normal.

Many couples often fought about whether they wanted a son or a daughter, and the doctor always had a way to appease them, "Congratulations on your son, but if you want a daughter, you two can try it again next year, right?" The doctor winked, obviously joking, but that didn’t help Henry.

Henry wasn’t happy. Not because he hated a son, but because a son meant Marlon would go even crazier to take the baby since he wanted a new heir that he could control like a puppet.

Henry’s gaze darkened as he saw the unborn baby on the monitor, ’Don’t worry, Son. Papa will protect you from that monster. Even if it will cost my life.’
