He Stole Me From My Deadbeat Husband-Chapter 500

"All you need to do is to kiss me, and my heart will melt, Kitty," Henry said. "Just one kiss is enough to get my forgiveness. You are my weakness, after all."

Henry gently caressed Kate’s hair and said, "But it’s up to you. If you still love me, I’m giving you all the chance to kiss me. If you don’t, then I—"

Henry couldn’t continue his sentence.

If he were the bigger man, he’d say that Kate could leave if she wanted to.

But he could not say that.

He was just as selfish as she was; if Kate wanted to find another man, then Henry would murder every single man that Kate met as long as she had no more chance to run away.

Henry was smart enough not to tell Kate his true dark thoughts, afraid that Kate would be scared of all the scary things that he’d do.

But he transferred his thoughts by hugging her even tighter than before, "Katherine, Please..."

Kate stared at Henry with earnestness in her eyes. She felt even more guilty knowing that she had caused so much damage to Henry, "I ran away back then because I was afraid that I’d be your hindrance. I was afraid Sarah would eventually hurt our son. I was a coward and selfish."

"But if you still want to forgive me, then I promise I will fight her with you this time. I will mend my mistake," Kate promised. She wrapped her arms around Henry’s neck and tiptoed to kiss him on the lips.

"I am sorry, Henry Grant. I’m sorry for breaking our promise, I’m sorry for leaving. I’m sorry for everything," Kate said as she admitted her mistakes. The air around them seemed to get warmer as they embraced each other for a long time, "I will do anything as long as you can forgive and accept me back."

"I... I already killed that bitch," Henry admitted. He came to meet Kate after two years because he was already assured that nothing would come between them anymore, as he knew that Kate had run away because she had been traumatized and mentally exhausted before. "I shot her dead twice."

"Henry, you..."

"I’m sorry, Kate," Henry looked apologetic. Though, he didn’t feel guilty because she murdered Sarah with his own hands. He felt guilty because Kate had to know that his hands were bloody now. "I had to do it. I don’t want her to run rampant and hurt you or our son."

Kate was speechless for a second. She grabbed Henry’s big and veiny hands and caressed them, "I’m sorry, Henry."

"For what?"

"For pushing you away. I’m sorry that you have to stain your hands. I should’ve contributed more for our future," Kate murmured.

It would be a big lie if she said she didn’t feel any burden of self-blame. After all, she was the reason Henry had to stain his hands to protect her repeatedly...

"You did so much for me. I don’t know what I should do to repay you..." Kate said.

"Just don’t leave me anymore, Katherine," Henry replied softly, something he hadn’t done in two years. "Two years without you and Theo are like hell on earth for me. I was like a robot who worked every day just so we could reunite."

"Let’s start anew, you, me, and Theo. Let’s build a family that we dreamed of," Henry added.

Kate couldn’t believe she deserved a happy ending after what she had done. She shook her head and asked, "I still need to do something to amend my mistake. You can’t just forgive me like this."

Henry chuckled, "You’re still the same Katherine from two years ago, huh? Why don’t we call my Mom and Theo to join us? You can mend your mistake by introducing me to my son, so he will trust me eventually."

Kate nodded, "I’ve robbed two years of your time with him. I will do my best to reconnect you two."

Kate and Henry returned to the car and saw Dahlia playing tickle with Theo.

Theo seemed to be able to recognize his family members instantly as he didn’t feel scared to be with Dahlia, which was not something that they usually did.

Theo was an active boy but was also naturally cautious when meeting new people. frёewebηovel.cѳm

Kate opened the car door, and Theo immediately jumped from Dahlia’s arm to reach his Mom, "Mama!"

"Oh, Theo, you were only separated from your Mom for half an hour. Do you not like your Granny?" Dahlia joked.

Theo peeked at his Granny and muttered, "I like Granny too."

"Really? Then why don’t you sit with Granny again?" Dahlia asked.

Theo shook his head. He looked at Henry, who stood silently, watching them from about three feet away.

The little boy was scared. He kept looking at Kate and Henry respectively and decided to stand in front of his Mom, acting like a protector, though he still clenched his Mom’s jeans as tight as he could.

"Mama, home. Go home..." Theo muttered while staring at the big, scary guy.

Kate smiled.

She lifted her son and carried him in her arms, "It’s okay, Theo. That is your father, your Papa."

"... Papa?" Theo stared at Henry with a mix of curiosity and fear.

"Yes, you watched Mama and Papa Bear on the TV before, right? That is your Papa bear," Kate tried to explain in a way Theo could understand.

"Papa..."

Henry couldn’t handle this overflowing joy in his heart when Theo called him Papa while looking at him for the first time.

Never in a million years had he ever thought of becoming a father.

But here he was, standing in front of his son, trying her best to control himself not to hug Theo and Kate.

"Y—Yes, I am your Papa, Theo. My name is Henry Theodore Grant, and you’re Theodore James Grant," Henry introduced himself awkwardly in front of a two-year-old. He never handle a kid, so he didn’t know how to act properly. "I... uh... I will give you all of my assets once you’re old enough. You will be the next Master Grant, and you will be the next Duke of York. You will also get a share once you are five years old—"

Kate chuckled when she saw how awkward Henry was. She took three steps forward until there was no gap between them.

"Don’t be so tense, Henry. Theo won’t know about any of that for now," Kate said. "Why don’t you carry him instead? He loves getting lifted high like Superman."
