He Stole Me From My Deadbeat Husband-Chapter 447

Vernon returned to his mansion about two hours after he left. He saw Chloe standing in the foyer room with a worried look.

Seeing his wife, Vernon smiled and asked, "What’s with your face? You should’ve trusted me more."

"Husband!" Chloe rushed towards Vernon and hugged him, "How was it? Are they doing alright? Why are you here so early?"

Vernon kissed Chloe’s forehead before replying, "Kate is still in the delivery room with Henry. I went home earlier because Michael and Mai came and took over to guard Kate," Vernon replied. He noticed the overly worried expression on Chloe’s face and assured her, "Don’t worry, I stationed all of the guards we have in the mansion to protect Kate until she gets discharged. She will be just fine."

"I hope so. It’s her first labor, and having your first labor in your thirties is usually a lot harder," Chloe said. "And I hope Kate can get discharged soon with a healthy baby."

Vernon nodded, "Let’s just rest for now. I think they will call us in the morning once the baby has been born."

Vernon and Chloe woke up in the morning and did their usual morning activity, alternating between freshening up and taking care of baby Valerie. After they were done with the baby, Chloe went to the kitchen to cook breakfast with the help of the maids.

Mackie woke up after she smelled the delicious stuff from the kitchen and sat next to her father.

Mackie noticed the empty seat in front of her and asked, "Mommy, Daddy, where’s Aunt Kate?"

Chloe and Vernon glanced at each other, and Vernon replied, "Your Aunt is giving birth in the hospital right now."

"Really?! Then let’s go and see her! Maybe the baby is already born by now!"

"Well, maybe we can—"

Before Vernon could finish his sentence, his phone suddenly rang, and when he saw the caller ID, he quickly picked it up;

"Henry? How was it? Is Kate still in labor?"

"She gave birth to a healthy baby boy five hours after we entered the delivery room. Kate is still sleeping right now, and the baby is with her," Henry reported. "She will be staying in the hospital for two more days, though. She is doing well, but she can’t seem to stand on her feet right now, so it’s better to watch over her condition in the hospital."

"Yeah, take your time in that hospital. My bodyguards are around you, so everything should be just fine," Vernon assured.

"Thank you... brother," Henry said with a little hesitation at the end of his sentence. "You helped me so many times, I don’t know how to repay you."

"Work hard and protect your family. That’s how you repay me," Vernon said. "But don’t worry about it too much. I’m also repaying my debt for your late brother, and I’m glad you’ve seen me as more than just a cousin. We’re brothers, Henry."

"Yes, thank you," Henry repeated. He glanced at Kate, who was still sleeping, and said, "Chloe and you should visit the hospital. I’m sure Kate will be happy being surrounded by her family."

"Oh, definitely! We’ll be there after Mackie finishes school today," Vernon said.

"Mm, we’ll be waiting."

Beep.

—

Chloe and Mackie were looking at Vernon with excitement. Vernon smiled at his family and nodded, "Kate has given birth to a healthy baby boy."

"Really? Oh, thank God!"

"Whoo! Baby cousin!" Mackie cheered happily. "Mommy, Daddy, let’s visit them in the hospital today! I can’t wait to see my cousin!"

Vernon nodded, "We should, but you must go to school first. We’ll come together in the evening, right?"

"Got it!" Mackie nodded happily.

"Well, finish your breakfast, all of you," Chloe said while checking the clock. "You’re going to be late, Mackie."

"Un!"

After what happened to the little girl in the mall, Vernon didn’t want to repeat the same mistake. So he dispatched a pair of protectors for Mackie, Meyer working as a driver and male bodyguard, and also a new female bodyguard.

Mackie kissed her parents’ cheeks before waving goodbye at them as she had to hurry to school, leaving Chloe and Vernon alone in their mansion.

Chloe was carrying baby Valerie and asked her husband, "Are you sure you want to go to the office alone?"

Chloe was worried because usually Vernon would be accompanied by one other car, which had at least two bodyguards in it, but because he sent all of their bodyguards to protect Kate, he became vulnerable.

In fact, he didn’t even have his usual driver. So he had to drive the car on his own.

"I’m worried that something might happen to you..." Chloe said.

"I will be fine. It’s been a while since the last time I drove this car by myself," Vernon said while patting the car’s roof. "You shouldn’t worry too much, Chloe. The storm has passed, Kate has given birth to a healthy baby boy, and they seem to have reconciled. We will become a big family again soon."

"I hope so," Chloe said, but she bit her lower lip as her intuition told her that something bad would happen soon.

She wanted to tell her husband about her worry, but she was prone to overthink, so she decided to keep silent as Vernon kissed her lips and entered the car.

Chloe stared at the car as it drove away from the mansion. She patted baby Valerie on her arm and sighed, "I hope everything will be fine. But I’m scared that my gut feeling might be right..."

Vernon drove his car through the road in the morning. The road near his area was still quite empty at this hour, but he had to go early if he didn’t want to be late for a morning meeting with a business partner.

"Maybe I should use the heli later," Vernon murmured. He had a helicopter, complete with a helipad, in the mansion and on the office building’s rooftop, but he seldom used it because he thought a helicopter was unnecessarily flashy.
