He Stole Me From My Deadbeat Husband-Chapter 510

"I want your trust, Henry," Kate stated firmly.

"My... trust?" Henry repeated, wondering if he had heard it wrong.

"Yes, I know no matter how much I try to convince you, I will never get that trust back after what I did," Kate had a bitter smile as she knew that she was the one who caused everything to happen like this. "You’ve been anxious every day, fearing that I will leave you again, and you’ve been trying to tie us together, correct?"

Henry didn’t expect Kate to read everything in his mind.

Unfortunately, she was right.

Henry was in constant anxiety, and his obsessiveness kept telling her to lock Kate inside their penthouse for the rest of his life, making sure that Kate wouldn’t be able to leave him again.

Yet, he also didn’t want to make her sad, so all he could do was to subtly force Kate to stay no matter what.

"I don’t need anything else, Henry," Kate said. "I have the man I love and love me back with a healthy child that I thought I’d never have."

"I am surrounded by people who love me, and we lack nothing. Everything is like a dream, so why would I leave this dream?" Kate smiled. She gently put her palm on his chest, feeling his heartbeat. "I don’t need you to justify what I did. I just want you to forgive me and trust me back."

Henry’s lips thinned. He didn’t want to tell his beloved how greedily obsessive he was because it might scare her.

But when Kate tried to convince him to lower his guard, he finally muttered, "You will never gain that trust back, not until you’ve accepted me completely."

"But I have accepted you completely. I’ve accepted all of your qualities. I am all yours, Henry."

"It’s so easy for you to give me all those sweet words, Kitty. But words meant nothing without action, so I want you to prove it now," Henry said.

"Prove it? What do you want me to do?" Kate asked.

Henry knew this was the right time to finally see whether Kate would stay with him or not.

He gently held Kate’s waist and lifted her, allowing her to sit on that marble seat while he kneeled in front of her.

Kate was astonished at first, but seeing her beloved kneeling in front of her gave a glimpse of what would happen next.

"H—Henry, you—"

Henry took out the small box he had kept the whole time in his inner pocket. He already planned to propose today after they had a tour around the castle.

But Kate’s words made him want to do it now, to see if she truly wanted him.

Henry looked up and said to his beloved, "Katherine Ross, I want to show you my seriousness. I am not perfect. I can be impatient, possessive, and immature at times."

"I admit that our meeting started with grief and misunderstanding. But you taught me about how deep I can love someone. You are the only woman in my heart and will continue to be so until my last breath."

"I will give you everything that you want as long as you’re willing to stay with me," Henry got increasingly emotional as Kate’s eyes began tearing up. "You should know that everything I have right now will be yours without question. All of my wealth, noble title, and devotion."

"But you asked me the most difficult thing I can give you, and that is my trust," Henry took a deep breath as he was ready to start a new life. He opened the ring box and presented a custom-made square-shaped blue diamond ring with small diamonds engraved around it. It was luxurious, yet it also exuded clarity and serenity.

He had this ring custom-made a year ago and had been sitting inside his drawer for a while, waiting to be taken out once he reunited with Katherine.

Now that she was finally here, Henry was ready to put the ring on her finger;

"I am a selfish and greedy man, Katherine. If you want my complete trust, then I want your complete devotion. I want to tie you forever with me," Henry said. His green eyes glazed with tears when Kate’s tears dropped from the corner of her eyes. "I want the world to know about us. I want everything that you have, and in exchange, I will give everything I have for you."

"Katherine Krista Ross, will you marry me?"

Kate covered her mouth as she saw the earnestness in Henry’s eyes. She then shifted her gaze to the ring presented in front of her.

Though she knew Henry would propose sooner or later, she didn’t expect him to propose when she had yet to obtain his complete trust.

She thought she had to go above and beyond to gain his trust. But this wasn’t a punishment at all.

Henry was rewarding her with a proposal. Because even in a normal situation, she would still accept his proposal no matter what.

"You’re being easy on me. You’re always so kind and gentle to me, yet I left you when you were at your lowest," Kate said. "I don’t know if I will ever be worthy of being your one and only. But I will try every day until I can stand proudly by your side as your wife."

Kate slowly stretched her hand, letting Henry put a ring on her finger, "Yes, the answer is yes, I will marry you. I will devote myself to you until my last breath, Henry Grant."

Henry took the ring and slowly put it on her finger. The diamond ring glinted beautifully as Henry felt a huge stone on his shoulder had been lifted.

He looked up and smiled at Kate, "Can I call you wife now?

Kate didn’t waste her time. She jumped to his arm and hugged him tight as they embraced each other.

"Not yet, dummy. We still have to exchange our vows first," Kate chuckled between her sobs. "But I like to start early, so..."

Kate put her lips near his ear and whispered, "Thank you for everything, husband."
