He Stole Me From My Deadbeat Husband-Chapter 488

Sarah wanted to roll her eyes but nodded and muttered, "I promise I won’t bother you too much, Dad."

"Good, because I’ll have to pull out all of my support if I find out you’ve brought great shame to our family," Klaus said.

"Isn’t that a bit too harsh? All I did was leave after Henry stepped on my toes!" Sarah insisted.

"Indeed, what you did is a small mistake. But you’ve become the center of attention amongst the other guests who attended the party today. Their eyes are on you, Sarah," Klaus warned. "If you make another misstep that will shame our family, I will have to force you to marry one of the men from a count or baron house."

Sarah’s eyes widened.

There was no way she’d agree to that because marrying a man from a count or baron house meant she was marrying down. She would be a laughingstock to everyone!

"I will rest first. You should call the maid to treat your swollen toes. Goodnight, dear," Klaus said before he got up and left Sarah alone in the living room.

Sarah said nothing but clenched her fist as the accumulating rage and frustration were enough to make anyone snap.

Sarah gritted her teeth while staring at her father’s back as he entered his bedroom.

"I guess I have no choice. If I can’t find Kate now, then I’ll have to torture the person who helped her escape until she tells me Kate’s location," Sarah murmured. "And once I can locate that bitch and her son, I will kill her immediately."

"Mama, acado... acado!"

"Avocado? You want your snack already?" Kate chuckled. She cleaned Theo’s hand with baby wipes before giving him his favorite snack, avocado and banana.

Theo sat beside his Mama as they were having a picnic under a tree. He was tired after running around the three and playing with the bugs that he encountered under Kate’s supervision.

Theo is eighteen months old now.

He was a kid with high energy. Sometimes, he would run around their living room nonstop, doing push-ups like what he saw on TV and tried his tricycle inside their house.

Henry told her back then that he was a little devil when he was a kid; he had high energy, was mischievous, and threw a lot of tantrums. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

In a sense, Theo was quite similar to his father, but he wasn’t a troublemaker or mischievous.

Theo was understanding, even since he was a kid. He often saw his mother looking exhausted and would sit or sleep next to her in silence.

Sometimes, Theo would hand his favorite doll, a teddy bear with a cape called Superbear, a gift from Mackenzie, to his mom.

In Theo’s small mind, Superbear should be enough to make his Mama feel better, and Kate did feel better whenever Theo tried to comfort her with Teddy.

"Mama, anana!" Theo asked for a banana after he was done with avocado.

"You’re not supposed to eat it too fast. You’ll have a bellyache," Kate sighed as she gave Theo a small slice of banana.

She kept telling Theo to eat slower, but this boy seemed to inherit his father’s trait a bit too much. Because he was also a big eater who would constantly ask for snacks. The pediatrician said this was to compensate for his high energy, and there was no problem with Theo’s digestive system.

So Kate could only slow him down by giving him small bites each time.

Kate ate her snack while watching the lake in front of her. Theo kept on snacking and asked for more until he was full, sat for a while, and then ran around the tree for the third time.

Life had been so good for her.

Her bakery business was doing well, and her investment portfolio was doing great as well, so she had a lot of cushions in case the bakery went out of business.

She was very busy during the weekdays, so she compensated by going to the park every weekend with Theo.

Of course, nobody here knew about the baby daddy’s identity because Kate lived an unassuming, simple life as a single mother in Camden, Maine.

"Henry..." Kate murmured that name again.

Eighteen months had passed since Kate left, and though she enjoyed her unassuming life. She couldn’t help but miss the man that stole her heart completely.

She knew from an interview on TV that Henry had become Duke Henry of York, making him part of the nobility. Since he was still young and a successful businessman, he was destined for greatness in the future.

Kate smiled, ’Well, good for him. As expected, the moment I left, nothing was holding him back. I am the deadweight that stopped his development. I’m glad my decision to leave gives him the growth he deserved.’

Kate stared at her son, who just found a grasshopper. He looked exactly like Henry, and as he grew up, Theodore would become a carbon copy of his father.

So, there was no way Kate would ever forget Henry since the fruit of their love was always with her.

’Does he still remember me?’ Kate thought. ’I doubt that, actually. He is living his best life as a successful young businessman and a Duke. He probably forgot about me and moved on with another woman in less than a month.’

Deep down, Kate still believed that Henry still loved her, or at least remembered her every night, just like how she remembered him every night.

But at the same time, she knew Henry shouldn’t remember her. It would be better if he completely forgot about Kate’s and Theo’s existence so he could marry a woman and lead a happy life with a family with the same social status as him.

’I’m glad he’s doing great, but sometimes, I can’t help but wish he could be here with me. At least for a few seconds, so my longing will be appeased...’ Kate thought.

As she was busy with her mind, a man approached her and greeted her, "Good morning, Katherine."
