Chapter 406: Chapter 406

[Warning: Violence.]

So he stopped following Kate and went to the kitchen instead.

He grabbed a kitchen knife and shouted, "KATHERINE!"

Kate turned around spontaneously and gasped when she saw Henry with a kitchen knife. His eyes were devoid of emotion.

Henry aimed the kitchen knife to his throat and said, "I am serious, Katherine. I truly love you. I am hopelessly, ardently in love with you. That’s why I abandoned all of my old schemes, and inheritance for you."

"I start anew to give you and our baby the freedom you deserve. I want to have a family with you..."

"You... you are my one and only, and if you leave, then there is no point in living anymore," Henry said. He began pressing the tip of the knife to his throat until a drop of blood leaked out.

Strangely, he didn’t feel pain at all.

He was just happy because Kate finally listened to him.

So if his death was the way for her to listen, then so be it.

"I told you once, if you ever caught me betraying you, then you can just order me to kill myself, and I will do it," Henry said without hesitation. "So give me the order now, Kate. Please tell me to kill myself. This way, you will finally trust me, and I will atone for my sin."

Kate stared at Henry, who looked unhinged.

She thought Henry was just trying to appease her when he said he’d die for her, but it seemed more serious than she expected.

Maybe Henry truly had a change of heart, and he simply hid this because he was afraid that Kate would leave him.

’But what’s the point? Even if he has a change of heart, it doesn’t guarantee he wouldn’t sell me out in the future,’ Kate thought. ’Even if he is loyal to me, can I live with a man who initially schemed to take my baby?’

...

Kate’s lips thinned.

She knew her answer already.

Henry saw the coldness in her gaze and smiled helplessly, "It can’t be helped. You don’t trust me at all. Then, if this is truly the end, I want you to know that you are truly my one and only Katherine. I love you."

"I think you’re a coward, Henry," Kate finally replied.

"A... coward?"

"Yes, what you’re doing right now is cowardly," Kate said. "So what if you truly had a change of heart? Do you expect me to trust you immediately? Do you expect me to give you a second chance, knowing you may change your mind again in the future?"

"And don’t you dare to try to kill yourself. That’s a pathetic excuse for a man whose baby I’m carrying right now," Kate added.

"Then how am I supposed to atone for my sin? What should I do to make you believe me?!" Henry asked desperately. "I’m at a loss, Katherine. I don’t know what to do to convince you!"

"You want to atone for your sin, you say?" Kate’s eyes peered, and she said softly yet cruelly. "Then continue living. I want you to live the rest of your life knowing that you’ve ruined your only chance to be happy. I want you to never feel happy until your last breath."

"Then you will die knowing that I’ve moved on from you completely, Henry Grant," Kate said. Though she knew this was a lie.

Henry was her one and only too. She knew that she wouldn’t be able to move on from him, and she wouldn’t be able to find another man.

She would spend the rest of her life working and raising her son. But it was fine for Kate as long as her son was far from his father because Henry was not a good influence.

Henry was a monster who schemed to take his own child and give it to that old crook to get tortured.

All for the sake of money.

Henry’s hands began to shake.

Kate’s words completely turned his words upside down.

He dropped the knife and used the kitchen counter to prop himself up because he had lost all of his strength.

Kate didn’t want him to die.

But she wanted him to suffer for the rest of his life to atone for his sin.

Unfortunately, death sounded more like a mercy for him because he couldn’t imagine seeing Kate with another man.

His heart would burn in fury, and he might do something unspeakable to Kate’s new man.

"That is the befitting punishment for the man who ruined my life, Henry," Kate turned around while dragging her luggage.

"W—Where are you going?" Henry asked as he tried to stop her. "It’s too dangerous outside!"

"Dangerous?" Kate looked over her shoulder. She chuckled and said, "And you think living with you is safe? Who knows, you might set up another ambush while I was asleep. Besides, you should bring Sarah to live with you instead. I think she will be more than happy to stay with you."

"After all, she is your true fiancée that you will marry, right?" Kate shrugged carelessly as she kept stabbing Henry with his own words. "I’m just an average-looking bitch, Henry. You don’t need to care about me at all."

"And don’t worry about child support and whatsoever. I don’t need any of that," Kate scoffed. " If I ask for child support, then you’ll have a claim on him. I don’t even want my son to know his biological father. Maybe I should marry another man immediately and lie to my son about it."

Of course, at this point, Kate was just being petty. Everything that she said was a lie. She just wanted to keep hurting Henry because her heart was bleeding right now and would continue to bleed for the rest of her life.

"Goodbye, Henry Grant. I hope you will never find happiness for the rest of your pathetic life."

Kate finally left the penthouse and slammed the door behind her, leaving Henry alone.

Henry began to have difficulty breathing. He felt that his life had been taken out of his body.

"Katherine... Theodore..." Henry murmured the names of his treasured ones that he lost because of his own mistake.
