He Stole Me From My Deadbeat Husband-Chapter 489

Kate turned around spontaneously and saw Tom standing behind her.

He wore his casual smile, wearing jogger pants and a sweatshirt.

"Tom? Out for a morning walk?" Kate asked.

"Yeah, as usual," Tom replied. "And you’re here having a picnic with Theo, I see."

"As usual," Kate smiled. "You know Theo can get antsy if we don’t go to the park or the riverside at least once a week. He is very active."

"Mhm, but it’s good that he is very active, right? That means he is a strong and healthy child. My Mom said I was like that too when I was around Theo’s age... before she kicked me out, of course," Tom’s smile wore out the moment he mentioned his family since he was kicked out when he was eighteen.

Kate could sense the sadness from Tom, so she called Theo immediately, "Theo, come here. There’s Tom!"

Theo, who was busy with grasshoppers, turned his head. His cute face brightened when he saw Tom, and he dropped the grasshopper immediately, "Tom! Tom!"

"Morning, Theo," Tom greeted. He watched how the baby approached him and lifted his arms. "Tom! Tom!"

"You want to fly again? Okay, buckle up!" Tom grabbed Theo’s torso and lifted him up in the air.

The child screamed excitedly as it was more exciting to fly with Tom than with his Mama since Tom was taller.

Kate allowed her son to play with Tom first and for a while until she warned, "Okay, that’s enough. I don’t want you to get dizzy, Theo."

Tom carefully put the baby down and stepped back, "Well, I’m going to continue my morning jog. Have fun, you two. See you in the bakery tomorrow."

"Bye, Tom. Have a good weekend!" Kate said while Theo waved his hand happily.

Tom turned around, and his smile faded instantly. He continued jogging until he saw an old lady wearing a classic floral dress that befitted her so much.

The elegant old lady glanced at Tom and waited until Tom stood in front of her before saying, "You did a good job. Too good, perhaps."

Tom bowed politely in front of his Madam, "According to your wish, Madam. You told me to check on Kate and Theo, and I did. I just made it less obvious by conversing with them for a moment."

"I told you to make it natural, not to play dad with my grandson," Dahlia said. "Remember, Tom, no matter how good she is, Kate is taken, and Theo still has a father. Henry will kill you if he sees what you did just now."

"I never meant to play dad with Theo, Madam. I worked with Kate in the bakery, so I naturally met with Theo often," Tom humbled himself. "I am no match for Master Grant. I understand that."

Dahlia sighed, "I hope you really do, Tom. You know my son, he is now too strong for me to contain, and his mood is always bad because of Kate’s absence. I’m afraid I won’t be able to do anything if he wants to execute you."

Tom nodded again, "If he constantly longs for Katherine, then why won’t he come here to see her?"

"What do you think will happen if they meet right now?" Dahlia asked.

Tom went silent instantly, but so did Dahlia.

She already knew the answer, and she hoped that it was just her anxiety talking.

"Henry loves her deeply. So deep that he went crazy just to reunite with her," Dahlia said. "But at the same time, he still resents her for leaving when he needed her the most."

"Meanwhile, Kate will probably hide if they meet again, simply because she feels a crushing remorse and guilt for Henry."

...

"We never know if they never met, Madam. Maybe they will forgive each other right after they reunite," Tom said.

"I truly hope so," Dahlia sighed. "Well, Henry will eventually visit his wife and son after Theo turns two."

"That would be six months from now, Madam."

"Indeed," Dahlia nodded. "As for now, he is still busy trying to finally catch that slimy bitch Sarah Lancaster. My trip to Maine is also part of his plan."

"Part of his plan?"

"I can’t explain much," Dahlia said. She got up and patted her dress. "Anyway, please watch over my daughter-in-law and my grandson while I’m away. I’m so glad I can see them today."

Dahlia wished she could do more. She wanted to sit together under the tree with Kate and play with Theo. She wanted to have lunch with them. She wanted to have a complete family once more.

But not now. It would have been better if all of Henry’s enemies had been cleaned up first, so there wouldn’t have been any problem.

Tom helped his old Madam to return to her car and watched as her car drove away from the park.

Talking with his Madam made him wonder what kind of deep love Henry had for Kate.

Tom knew it must be excruciating because to love someone so deeply meant he was ready to bear all kinds of heartbreak.

"I know my place, Master Grant. My love for Kate is no match against yours. I just hope that you won’t hurt Kate."

Sarah parked her car in front of an abandoned building. She came here because her subordinate contacted her and informed her they had successfully kidnapped the old snake, Dahlia.

Sarah stayed inside her car for a while until one of her subordinates approached the car and knocked on the window.

Sarah slid the window down and asked, "Did you capture her?"

"Yes, Miss. We tied Dahlia Grant inside."

"Is it really her?" Sarah asked again just to make sure. She found it almost unbelievable because Henry usually had strict protection over Dahlia, so to find a blind spot and kidnap Dahlia was an amazing feat worthy of good pay. "It could be one of the old maids who works in the Grant Estate."
