He Stole Me From My Deadbeat Husband-Chapter 458

"My decision is final, Dahlia," Kate insisted. "This is a goodbye." ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

Dahlia was about to cry again. She shed so many tears during the trip that her eyes became puffy.

"Then, can I at least hold my grandson for a while? I know I can’t carry or see him grow for a long time."

Kate handed the baby to Dahlia, allowing Dahlia to hold her grandson, "He truly has Henry’s features. It feels like I’m seeing baby Henry."

Henry came into her life when he was already five years old, so she never knew what Henry looked like when he was a baby.

But seeing Theodore was enough for Dahlia to imagine how cute Henry was as a baby.

"My grandson, wait for your Dad, okay? Granny will make sure your Dad will become a powerful man, powerful enough to protect you and your Mom. It won’t take long, I promise," Dahlia said. "Granny loves you, Theo."

Dahlia reluctantly handed Theo back to Kate and smiled at her sadly, "You can leave now if you want."

"Thanks for everything, Dahlia. I will never forget you," Kate said before opening the car door and entering the hotel lobby to check-in.

Dahlia sat in silence inside her car for a while until her driver asked, "Madam, are you sure you’re going to leave her alone in Maine? She just gave birth and had a baby. I don’t think it’s safe to do that."

"I know," Dahlia confirmed. "That’s why I already told one bodyguard to linger around Kate. He is my best fighter, on par with Michael, so he would be able to protect Kate even against many attacks. He was also really good at blending in. They will be friends in no time without her suspecting about anything."

Dahlia wept her tears. She was grieving for what happened but couldn’t force Kate to stay because she was simply too traumatized and thought this was the best way to help Henry.

"... Madam, do you think she is wrong for doing this?"

"She is wrong. Henry will be a broken man when he wakes up knowing Kate left with their baby," Dahlia replied without hesitation. "But I can’t really blame her. She is overprotective of her baby and her man. She has been pushed to the edge, and this is her way of survival. Punishing her by putting her under house arrest would only aggravate her even more."

"Then why would you let her go like this? Even helping her in the process," the driver asked. "Your son will be angry at you for helping her."

Dahlia’s eyes turned cold, and her lips thinned as she knew she was guilty. "Since I can’t stop Kate from running away, the only thing that I can do is to use the situation to help Henry."

"Help him?"

"Yes, I’ve been talking with the representative of the Duchy of York. They are desperate to contact Henry because their Duke, Lord Mountvarn, has no heir to inherit the Duchy, and he is already in critical condition due to his old age. He doesn’t want the Duchy to fall into a non-relative hand, so he wants Henry to inherit everything."

Dahlia remembered her conversation with the representative. He tried to reach Henry by contacting Marlon, but that bore no fruit.

It took him a while until he could get in contact with Dahlia, and by this time, all he wanted was for Henry to come to the Duchy and handle the transfer of power.

"Unfortunately, Henry, being Henry, refused to accept it because he thought he could do everything by himself. He said he’s not ready to accept that title yet," Dahlia sighed. "Well, I believe he will accept the title now since he will do absolutely everything to reunite his family."

"I... I understand, Madam, but isn’t it a bit too cruel to put him through such mental torture?"

Dahlia closed her eyes.

"I can’t justify my actions," Dahlia said. "But if he doesn’t do this anytime soon, we won’t be able to touch Sarah. Remember, Sarah is the daughter of an Earl. She has a crazy amount of connections behind her, and she won’t stop until she gets what she wants."

"This pain will be the drive for Henry to let go of all of his reluctance," Dahlia said. "Don’t worry, I will make sure Kate is well protected. She just needs time to calm down and raise her baby while Henry crushes that rat bitch until she can’t do anything."

...

The driver felt that everything was justified, but at the same time, it was very cruel to a man who obviously loved his woman.

"Let’s return to New York," Dahlia said. "My bodyguard is currently staying in the same hotel. She will be just fine."

"Understood, Madam."

Sarah walked into an abandoned building where her subordinates were already gathering inside to find a way to dispose of Erin’s body.

Once they saw their Mistress, they bowed respectfully and asked, "Miss, what do you want to do with her body?"

Sarah ignored the question. She walked towards Erin who was nothing but a cold corpse with gruesome stab wounds on her chest. Henry seemed to take his time because he also punched her face repeatedly until she was unrecognizable.

"Did she kill the baby at least?" Sarah asked.

"No, Miss. Katherine and her newborn son are unharmed, but Henry Grant was stabbed repeatedly until he has to undergo intensive surgery," the man replied.

Sarah clicked her tongue. She kicked Erin’s face and stepped on it repeatedly to vent her anger, "FUCKING USELESS PIECE OF SHIT!"

Everyone around her shuddered, seeing how Sarah kept on stomping on the dead woman’s body with her high heels. She was like a madwoman who should be put in a mental institution, but none dared to say anything because they were scared of her.

Sarah was relieved after she finished stomping Erin repeatedly, "I rescued her because I want to use her to terrorize Kate, but look at this, this is bullshit!"
