He Stole Me From My Deadbeat Husband-Chapter 506

"Really? But I’m just a commoner," Kate doubted. She found it strange that someone like her could become a real Duchess. "It would be embarrassing for you to bring me into those fancy noble dinner parties."

Henry smiled and held Kate’s hand, "Weren’t you the one who told me that you often imagined yourself as a Duchess or a Queen? We danced in that castle in Canada, and I promised to make you one."

"I—I thought it was just a sweet, nonsensical talk we usually do when we want to have a good time," Kate said. "I am just a commoner, a divorcee as well. Can you continue holding your Duke position without me?"

Henry knew that Kate was intimidated by the idea of becoming part of the nobility, but this was also one of his methods to completely bind Kate to his side.

The moment Kate was officially recognized as a Duchess, there was no way she could just run away like she did two years ago.

This dark and obsessive thought in Henry’s mind was now integrated as part of him to the point that he would constantly try to find a way to bind Kate with him.

"Kitty, I thought you wanted to compensate for the two years of your absence. Can you please at least come with me to London to visit Lord George? He has been expecting us," Henry said as he looked at Kate with his sparkly eyes that would make Kate’s heart melt.

She sighed, "Alright, I promised to do anything for you. But don’t blame me if Lord George finds me unpleasant. I’m not familiar with noble etiquette."

Henry smiled mysteriously, "Let’s see about it."

Kate carried Theo as she followed Henry to enter the private jet. He said that he recently purchased this jet because he frequently went back and forth between London and New York, and it was such a hassle having to match his schedule with commercial flights.

"Other than that, I also want to give you a good life. This private jet is to assure you that I am rich enough to give you everything you want," Henry said while staring at Theo and Kate, who sat in front of him. "Just name me anything, and I can make it happen for you, Kate."

"Well..." Kate looked around Henry’s private jet and commented, "This is an amazing achievement, Henry."

"Do you like it?" Henry asked proudly.

It wasn’t Kate’s style. She preferred to have a balance in life, a stable income, and a large retirement savings. But excessive wealth wasn’t really her thing.

But of course, she wouldn’t say that to a man who had just spent two years trying to prove himself worthy.

In Henry’s mind, THIS was the way to get Kate’s love, so Kate had to find a way to appreciate her man while also uttering her true desire.

"I am very proud of your achievement, and I’m happy that Theo and our future children will be well-educated and well-off," Kate said. "But if you’re asking me what I like, I only want one thing right now."

Kate lifted her ring finger for a second and said, "W—When you are ready. I don’t want to force you since I know that you suffered two years without me," she said hesitantly. "But if you ever find me desirable, then please..."

Henry’s breath stiffened. He clenched the armrest and stared at Kate, who sat Theo on her lap.

Kate looked both shy and guilty. Maybe she thought Henry would want to marry her anytime soon because of what happened between them.

But she was wrong.

The one who was the most eager to tie the knot was Henry.

He was waiting for the right moment to propose.

Kate got no answer from Henry, so she thought he had no plan to make her a wife. She had a bitter smile but lowered her head and busied herself playing with Theo to make things less awkward.

After all, she understood it was her fault for leaving, and she was currently atoning for her sin.

"Do you know I have my own rule for my future wife?" Henry asked.

"Rule?" Kate lifted her head, frowning at Henry. "And what kinds of rules do you have? Do you want me to be a full-time housewife?"

"I want to, but I know you’re always searching for something to get yourself busy. You can’t stay still, so as long as it won’t exhaust you or cut your time with our family, I have no problem at all," Henry said. "I only have two rules. The first one is to always prioritize our family no matter what. No work is much more important than your husband and children, and naturally, I will prioritize my wife and children over work."

Kate felt that didn’t need to be a rule.

These days, Kate had been focusing on Theo and Henry. The only time she tried to busy herself was by having a casual meeting in the Empress Publishing with a dozen top authors who missed her so much and wanted to have a reunion.

Even then, she brought Theo with her because she couldn’t trust a nanny to care for her son.

"I think I’m already qualified for the first rule. Do you find me lacking?" Kate asked.

"Not at all," Henry smiled. "You’re perfect, Katherine."

Kate was relieved, "Then how about the second one?"

Henry’s smile turned mysterious. "I will tell you later after we meet with Lord George."

"Ah—"Kate was reminded again of the old Duke. "I guess I have no choice, huh?"

"Yeah, if you want to know the second rule that I have, then you need to meet with the old Duke," Henry said. "Don’t worry. Meeting with him will also ensure our children’s future. Don’t you want to give Theo the best this world could offer?"

Kate tried to dispel her fear and nodded, "Yes, I want the best for you, us, and our children in the future, and I want to fight for it too. Let’s meet with your adoptive father, Henry."
