He Stole Me From My Deadbeat Husband
Chapter 413

Chapter 413: Chapter 413

"... are you sure about that?" Chloe asked. "You know the scope of Vernon’s protection will be limited once you are far from us."

"I understand the risk. But I’m just... tired. I’m tired of risking my baby. I’m also tired of being in constant danger," Kate paused momentarily and added, "I’m also tired of being lied to. This is not the first time Henry lied to me. He also tried to hide Sarah’s identity before."

Chloe wanted to convince Kate to stay, but after knowing that Henry had also tried to lie to Kate before this, she realized there was no point in trying to persuade her, at least not now, because Chloe understood really well how painful it was to get lied to by the man you loved.

"Well, if that’s your final decision, then I can’t stop you," Chloe said. "I’ll tell the butler to bring your luggage inside, make yourself at home. You’re part of my family too, Kate."

Kate sneered.

Of course, she wasn’t part of Chloe’s family. It was Henry and Vernon who happened to be cousins, so it was Henry who was part of her family.

’Henry and I have nothing to do anymore. I’m not part of this family, neither am I part of Dahlia’s family,’ Kate thought, which got her depressed.

She had come to like both Dahlia and Chloe.

In her imagination, she saw Mai and Chloe as her sisters and Dahlia as her mother-in-law. They would often visit each other to chat or have a picnic somewhere.

She also imagined seeing their kids playing together, and hopefully, they could stay this close until their hair turned white with their respective husbands.

Of course, it was all just an imagination now because there was no way she would stay with Henry.

"You should rest for now. I know you have no appetite, but if you’re hungry at midnight, just use that telephone and press one to call the cook. They will prepare something for you," Chloe said. She got up and opened the door.

Chloe gasped when she saw a man standing at the door with his head hung low. His blonde hair was messy, and he looked so downtrodden.

"H—Henry?! How long have you been at the door?!" Chloe asked.

"Sorry, I just don’t want to disturb your time with Kate," Henry replied. "But I’m here to have a small talk with Katherine."

Chloe hesitated. She wanted to tell Henry not to approach Kate for now because Kate was not in the best state to converse.

"Let him in, Chloe," Kate said coldly. "I want to hear what kind of bullshit he will spout next."

Chloe looked over her shoulder and saw that Kate’s tears and vulnerability had vanished instantly. She looked so cold and detached, though once Chloe took a closer look at her, she realized that Kate was holding her tears.

She was in a lot of pain but still acted distant in front of Henry.

Chloe sighed and gave way to Henry, "Just don’t stimulate her too much. She is under too much stress, Henry."

"I’ll be careful. Thank you, Chloe."

Henry entered the bedroom, and Chloe left. She closed the door and let out another sigh, "Please stay strong, Kate."

Kate sat on the bed, crossing her arms while eyeing Henry from head to toe, "So, what do you want to talk about?"

Henry said nothing, but he dropped to his knees again. He tried to kiss Kate’s feet as an apology, but Kate kicked his shoulder before he could do that.

"I don’t want you to do something pathetic, Henry," Kate said. "Now, tell me what you want before I kick you out."

Henry resumed kneeling and muttered, "I’m just hoping there will be some way—any way possible for you to forgive me."

"You know that’s impossible," Kate shot him down quickly. "I have no intention to forgive you. This is not the first time you lied to me. Remember how you tried to hide Sarah’s identity as your fiancee before?"

Henry zipped his mouth.

He knew that it was mostly his fault. He was the one who lied too much because he was scared to lose Kate.

But now that everything had been revealed, he truly had nothing left. He lost Kate and all of her trust.

"Heh, I should’ve figured the red flag back then," Kate scoffed. "You are the most untrustworthy man I’ve ever met, Henry. Even if you apologize and we resume our lives, what will happen next?"

"I will not lie or hide anything from you anymore," Henry said seriously.

"There is no guarantee for that. You can say anything you want, but I’m not buying it," Kate sighed. "Is that all you want to say? Then you can leave. I’m too tired to deal with this. I’m too tired to see your face, Henry."

Henry shook his head. He looked up and stared at Kate’s eyes with strong determination, "Since I can’t get your forgiveness now, then I will continue trying until you fall in love with me again, Katherine."

"What in the—I will never fall in love with you again!" Kate raised her voice, thinking that Henry was spouting nonsense right now.

"You told me to live, so I will live. But that also means I’ll never give up on reuniting with my small family," Henry said in full determination. "I will continue to protect you and our son. I will forever be your guardian, even if you don’t want me."

"You—" Kate was speechless. She didn’t know what Vernon did to Henry until he suddenly got a shot of courage and determination. She stared at his eyes and saw the love and overflowing sincerity from Henry’s beautiful green eyes.

Kate’s heart began to beat faster. She knew this wasn’t good because she might actually fall into this scum’s trickery for the third time.

So she looked away to dodge his eyes and said, "I have had enough of your babbling. Leave now, Henry."

Henry smiled when he saw Kate’s avoidance. That avoidance was enough proof that she still had a lingering feeling for
