He Stole Me From My Deadbeat Husband-Chapter 515

Kate was stunned for a moment, not out of fear but due to awe.

The pathway leading to the flower garden pavilion had been turned into an aisle. The usual stone slab was layered with glossy white marble decorated with beautiful flowers on each side.

And at the end of the marble aisle, Henry stood inside the pavilion that had been turned into their altar. Henry wore a black slim-fit suit that hugged his body perfectly, showcasing how amazingly handsome the young Duke of York truly was.

His hair was combed to the back, and his green eyes were sharp and deep.

Yet, those eyes softened when he saw Kate at the other end of the aisle.

Michael and Vernon stood behind him as groomsmen, wearing an amber-colored suit to represent Kate’s amber-colored eyes. In contrast, the bridesmaids wore dark green dresses to represent Henry’s green eyes.

The guests were standing on both sides. She saw many unfamiliar faces as they were the nobles who were invited to the wedding.

Yet, none showed a hint of disgust seeing Kate in person.

Everyone was awed by her beauty. She looked stunning yet serene in a simple, tight-fitting white wedding dress.

She was wearing a pair of diamond earrings and a necklace that made her look expensive without being tacky.

She was perfect as a Duchess that represented beauty and serenity.

As the music started, Kate began walking down the aisle. Her eyes were focused on her man, who was holding back his tears.

It was funny to see him looking so emotional because Henry told her on the phone that he would not cry on the wedding day because he had to maintain his image as a Duke.

Yet, there he was, holding back tears until he eventually had to wipe his tears with a handkerchief.

Kate’s lips thinned as she also felt emotional. Never in a million years had she ever thought to walk down the aisle again.

After all, she initially thought that she was the barren one in her marriage with Matt back then. So, she was ready to stay single for the rest of her life.

That was, until Henry came into her life, proving that she was not the barren one. He also showed that Kate was worthy of being loved, something that hadn’t come to Kate’s mind until she met him.

She clenched the flower bouquet in her hand as she approached the pavilion.

The music finally slowed down after she stepped into the pavilion. Valerie and Theo stood on the side with the groomsmen, and Kate faced Henry, who was itching to hug his beloved.

He couldn’t wait to finish everything and finally make their relationship official so Kate would forever be his.

Kate smiled shyly at Henry. Her cheeks reddened when she saw the eagerness in Henry’s eyes. He was obviously in a rush, wanting to kiss her.

"You look gorgeous, Kitty," Henry said in a low voice.

"So do you, Duke Henry," Kate replied with a slight tease. "You said you won’t cry two days ago."

"Can’t help it when you’re my bride," Henry smiled gently.

The Bishop glanced at them and cleared his throat to get their attention, as they still had to finish the wedding vow before they were declared husband and wife.

Kate and Henry slowly turned their bodies to the Bishop as he began the introduction.

*—*

"We are gathered here in the presence of God, family, and friends to unite Henry Theodore Grant, Duke of York, and Katherine Krista Ross in holy matrimony..."

Theo looked up at his Mama and Papa as Kate and Henry listened to the Bishop.

They looked so good together, wearing a dress and suit. The boy was reminded of that one time when they took a picture together, and his parents told him to stand in the middle.

So he absentmindedly walked towards his parents before everyone could catch him.

"W—Wait, Theo—" Michael was about to grab Theo’s hand, but Theo had already hugged his Papa’s long legs like a koala.

The Bishop paused for a moment and looked at Henry. The latter chuckled, "It’s okay. You can continue with the ceremony. Our son, Theodore, likes to stick close to me or his mother," Henry said without hesitating despite his status as a Duke.

The noble guests were surprised because they didn’t know that Henry already had a son before his marriage.

Nevertheless, Henry didn’t show any kind of embarrassment. He proudly told everyone about Theo, so they should know Henry dedicated his life to his wife and son.

Thus, the Bishop continued his speech until he said, "To the groom, Henry Theodore Grant, you may do your speech as you wish."

Usually, the Bishop wouldn’t allow a speech between the bride and the groom as he’d go straight to the marriage vow and declaration.

But Duke Henry of York personally requested it, so he couldn’t say no.

Henry was given the microphone. But before he started his speech, he picked Theo up and carried him in one arm while his other hand held the microphone.

Both Henry and Theo had their eyes on Kate as he started his speech.

*Henry*

"Katherine and I met under terrible circumstances. We met with our own problems and left thinking that we won’t see each other again," Henry said. "But fate is a funny thing, and as this whirlwind of life brought us together, I realized that meeting her is the most important part of my life."

Henry sounded so sincere as he recalled all the difficulties they had to face until they could reunite, "She is the one who brought me true joy, to have a family, to have a goal of my own. She is my first true love and my one and only."

"Without her, I would be the same old Henry Grant who had no idea what to do. I wouldn’t stand here as a Duke, nor would I take the mantle as the new Master of Grant Estate," Henry paused for a while and smiled. "She gives me purpose in life, and that is to love her and our child, and I will continue to do that for the rest of my life."
