He Stole Me From My Deadbeat Husband
Chapter 62

Chapter 62: Chapter 62

Kate’s body stiffened.

She couldn’t lie. The day she spent with Henry yesterday was nothing but magical.

She never had a vacation or any small trip with Matt before. She had never seen the sunset with a man, eaten dinner in a fancy restaurant without having to pay, or watched the city skyline while a man held her in his strong arms from behind.

Though Henry wasn’t her first love, he now held many of her firsts.

So Kate felt like cold water was poured over her head once she realized she was actually falling in love with a womanizer who saw women as a game to be played and prizes to be won.

She felt like shit knowing that Henry had no plans of ever fulfilling all the sweet promises he made last night. And Kate knew that she was an idiot for believing all of them.

She was a fool to think that Henry would take her on a private and personal vacation with just the two of them. She was an even bigger fool for believing in his promise that they would be dating exclusively.

"What happened last night doesn’t change a thing between us, Mr. Grant. We just had a small break in San Francisco. Please refrain yourself from being too familiar with me," Kate said coldly. "We are just work colleagues, you are being unprofessional right now."

Henry gritted his teeth. His heart was aching from the words she said.

He spent the whole night thinking about Kate. Even in his dreams, he dreamed of nobody but Kate. She was the only woman occupying his mind, day and night.

Yet, she treated him like a stranger after their date yesterday.

"Please don’t make a scene, Sir. You are embarrassing me," Kate said as people had begun to notice the arguing couple.

Henry was pissed, he was so angry that he couldn’t even formulate a proper complete sentence right now. So he released Kate’s arm, turned around, and stomped away out of the airport.

Kate could only stare at his back, feeling her heart sink as she realized this might be the end of their happy days together.

Had Henry turned around, he would have seen the broken expression on Kate’s face. If only he looked back, then maybe he would have seen that she cared more than she let on.

’Last night was probably the most fun I’ve had in a long time,’ Kate thought. ’But that’s it. Don’t let another man hurt you, he doesn’t love you, Kate. It’s not worth it.’

The Taxi concierge looked at Kate worriedly, especially seeing her eyes glazed with tears, "Ma’am, are you sure you’re okay? That man—"

"It’s nothing," Kate replied as she quickly killed any questions he had about Henry. "He has his own life, and so do I. Please get me a Taxi, I have to go to work."

Kate took the taxi and went straight to the office. She believed Henry wouldn’t come to the office today, at least not after their little argument in the airport earlier.

Truthfully, she also had nothing to do in the office today. Her workload had gotten lighter after Henry took over the CEO’s position, and she didn’t need to keep contact with the parent company every single day. All she had to do was to read a manuscript from one of her top authors, something she could do anywhere with an iPad.

But she went to the office nonetheless. It was a way to knock some sense into her head. She had to realize that she needed to stay professional, or else she might lose her job and her child’s future just because of a man.

Kate clocked in and walked through the corridor to her office. But she was stopped by Mai, who stood in front of her office door with worry pasted all over her face.

Kate frowned, "What’s wrong, Mai? Why are you standing in front of my office?"

"Ah, Ma’am, it’s... um... I don’t know how to say this," Mai said. She glanced over her shoulder towards the door behind her and added, "Please don’t scold me for this. She insisted."

"What are you on about? What happened in my office?"

"Um, there is a young woman named Erin who came to the office this morning," Mai said. "She said she is your sister, and insisted on staying. She showed me the picture of the two of you together, and then she even threatened me, saying you would fire me if I didn’t let her in."

Kate held her breath, she had a terrible feeling about this.

She wanted to turn back and leave, but Erin would only return to the office again in the future and wouldn’t relent until her demands were met.

So she took a deep breath and said, "You can go now, Mai. I will handle this."

"A—Are you sure, Ma’am? That woman doesn’t seem to have good manners, that’s why I didn’t trust her when she said that she’s your sister...."

"No, she is my sister," Kate confirmed. "But yes, she doesn’t have good manners. It’s partly my fault. Just leave me alone with her, I will handle this."

Mai was still hesitant to leave Mrs. Woods alone because she noticed the nervousness in her eyes, something that was very strange for Mai, who was used to seeing the fierce and stern Chief Editor.

But she could only step aside to allow Mrs. Woods to enter her office.

Kate took a deep breath and then opened the office door as she was greeted by the sight of Erin, who sat behind her desk in her seat.

Erin grinned at her sister and said, "I’ve been waiting for hours, sis. You should compensate me with something for all the time I’ve wasted."

Henry was in a terrible mood as he waited for his car to arrive, and once the car stopped right in front of him, he kicked the driver out and drove the car by himself as he didn’t want anyone else to see him getting his heart broken.

His mind was in chaos.

His mind kept on replaying all the happy moments they had shared last night. Henry didn’t even exaggerate when he said that he was actually considering settling down with Kate and their baby during their time at Pier 14.

Everything about her was so beautiful and perfect, so when all that image of a perfect future with Kate was shattered, Henry couldn’t help but get even more irritated.

Kate’s cold eyes and flat tone shattered his heart. She was like a beautiful angel who carried him to heaven, only to drop him once he was floating above the sky.

His heart ached so much that he wished he could just rip it out so it would stop bothering him.

"How dare she give me a cold shoulder after everything that had happened between us last night. Can’t she see that I’m trying out new things for her, just to be with her?" Henry muttered. "She is the first woman to accompany me to watch the sunset, the first woman that I promised my loyalty to, she’s also the first woman I spent the night with at Pier 14. She is my first real date!"
