He Stole Me From My Deadbeat Husband-Chapter 479

Kate couldn’t help remembering Henry whenever she saw Tom.

After all, they were around the same age, and he had green eyes just like him.

Of course, Henry was a lot more charming and handsome. But seeing Tom was enough to pull Kate into the nostalgia train.

She missed Henry a lot but knew she couldn’t return, not when Henry probably hated her for what she had done.

Thus, Tom had become a channel for her to let go of her guilt. Helping this young man will give Kate the illusion that she tried to mend her mistake of leaving Henry.

But it was all just an illusion in the end.

She pulled the trigger by leaving, and there was no turning back.

Henry wouldn’t forgive her, and it was probably for the better because she didn’t want to be the thorn in Henry’s life.

Henry could focus on his new company with Kate out of his life. He could be just as great as Vernon and move on after some time since he was still young and had a lot of suitors.

It’d be even better if he finally found another woman he loved and then married her and had many children.

’I should be happy if that happens, but... I feel very bitter when I think about Henry with another woman,’ Kate smiled bitterly. ’I guess I really am a selfish woman. I left him, and yet still expect him to remember me just like how I keep remembering him.’

Tom ate the bread reluctantly and stared at Kate, who seemed to be lost in her thoughts.

"You’ve been working in the kitchen and the bakery since dawn. You need some rest, Kate," Tom said. He looked up and added, "You should check up on Theo."

Kate wasn’t worried about Theo. She knew Theo’s schedule. Her son spent most of the time sleeping or crawling around the big crib.

Theo was a sensible child; even when he was only six months old, he knew that his Mom worked hard, so he rarely made that sound-shattering cry unless he was really upset.

But Tom was right. She needed some rest and to play with her son, "Well, maybe I should make some coffee for myself," Kate nodded. "Please stay behind the counter for a while."

"You got it, Boss," Tom said while munching on the bread.

He watched as Kate turned around and walked away. Her red hair swayed beautifully, and he could only sigh as he felt something that he shouldn’t have deep in his heart.

Kate checked on Theo and saw her baby rolling around, then sat inside the big crib with curiosity, touching everything he could get his hands on.

The baby looked up when he noticed his mother, and babbled happily, "Mamamama..."

Kate’s heart melted when she saw Theo. Her baby was like an energy shot that gave her purpose.

Kate lifted her baby and rubbed their noses together, "How’s my big boy doing? Are you bored without Mama?"

The baby laughed happily whenever he was with his Mom. Sometimes, Kate wanted to carry Theo around all day, but she knew the bakery was not suitable for a baby because she often went in and out of the baking kitchen, which was dangerous for a baby.

Thus, she took Theo for a walk near the coast and the woods every weekend instead.

Theo always looked around in wonder. Sometimes, he would cry if Kate left him, so she had to ensure he slept before she went downstairs.

Kate checked the clock on the wall and said, "Oh? Look at that, Theo. It’s time for a snack!"

The baby babbled as he always enjoyed the time for a snack. Kate washed her hands first and then prepared a few slices of avocado as Theo’s finger snacks.

She also made herself a coffee.

Kate put Theo on her lap; she helped Theo grab the avocado slice while sipping her coffee.

She turned on the television, and it was a news channel talking about the death of an old billionaire, Marlon Grant.

Kate’s heartbeat skipped when she heard about Marlon’s death. She had been off social media for a while, only browsing the internet for work stuff and baby problems.

So Marlon’s death was unexpected because Kate thought that the old man would live forever.

Kate saw a reporter standing in front of the Silver Line office building, Grant’s family’s main company.

The front lobby was filled with many reporters wanting to see Henry Theodore Grant in person because his father’s sudden passing meant Henry would inherit everything.

As Henry walked out of the lobby, dozens of reporters surrounded him, wanting a piece of an interview with him.

"Mr. Henry Grant, what is your next step after inheriting all the family businesses?"

Henry continued walking firmly. Michael and one other bodyguard protected him from the front and the back.

He was still as handsome as before, though, in the past six months, he seemed to have lost the luster in his eyes because he looked too intimidating, even for Kate, who had made love with him so many times in the past.

Henry ignored the question, but with so many reporters, he was forced to answer, "I will run the company efficiently and expand based on my plan. My father gave me everything under my name after my brother’s death. I cannot disappoint them."

Kate couldn’t help but notice that Henry’s jaw was tight, a sign that he was lying. Kate and Henry lived together as a couple for a while, and she naturally learned most of his body gestures and reactions to a certain mood.

"Mr. Grant, you’re still twenty-six years old and already became the owner of such a big corporation. Do you have someone in your heart, or are you still searching for one?" The reporter from Gossip News asked.

Henry halted his step for a second. He stared at the camera with his deep, snake-like eyes and replied, "I have someone in my heart, and I will never let her go."
