He Stole Me From My Deadbeat Husband-Chapter 501

"C—Carry him? Can I?" Henry asked dumbly. He hesitated while staring at the curious boy who seemed to have slowly lost his fear of his father.

"Well, why don’t we ask Theo instead?" Kate said. She turned her head towards Theo and asked, "Don’t you think your Papa is very tall?"

"Un, big, tall..." Theo nodded.

"So, do you want to fly with your Papa?"

"... um..." Theo nodded again.

"See? He wants you to carry him. Here, I will teach you how to," Kate said as she taught Henry how to hold a toddler without hurting him.

Henry learned seriously before he accepted Theo in his arms.

The boy didn’t struggle as he moved from Kate’s hand to Henry’s, which rarely happened because Theo disliked getting separated from his Mama.

Theo kept staring at Henry with his sparkling green eyes. They had the same eyes, but Henry’s eyes were already shrouded with gloom and the harsh reality of life.

Henry felt that he could explode like a firework right now. He never knew that carrying his son would give him so much joy.

"Papa..." Theo murmured while staring at Henry. Then he turned to his Mom and murmured, "Mama."

Henry’s lips trembled, and he nodded, holding his tears, "Yes, son, I am your Papa. Papa and Mama will be together again, and we will protect you from harm."

Kate was also holding back her tears.

She was happy that the pair of father and son could reunite, but at the same time, she also felt extremely guilty for separating them for two years.

Henry missed out on his son’s growth because of her selfishness, "I... I have had a lot of pictures of Theo since he was a newborn. I will show it to you later," Kate said as her first attempt to compensate for her mistake.

"Thank you, Kitty. I’m just brimming with joy right now. I feel alive for the first time in two years," Henry said. He smiled at his son and asked, "Do you want to fly like Superman?"

"Ah! Superman! Up, up!" Theo’s face brightened instantly. Henry lifted him high, and Theo was overjoyed because he had never flown this high.

"Whoo! Whooo!" Theo cheered as he could see his surroundings.

"C—Careful, don’t drop him," Kate warned as Henry was really tall.

"Don’t worry, I won’t let anyone hurt him and you, including myself," Henry assured.

Dahlia stared at Kate and Henry, who warmed up quickly. She sighed, full of awe, "Thank God, I really thought my family would get broken up after reuniting."

Dahlia’s fear wasn’t unfounded because Henry was too powerful for her to handle. She couldn’t do anything if Henry punished Kate for what she did.

But this proved that Henry’s love was much greater than his resentment. He could forgive Kate quickly, and Kate was mature enough to realize that she was the one at fault for running away two years ago.

’There is only one problem now... or maybe two,’ Dahlia thought. She wanted to tell Henry about those men but didn’t want to be rash in her judgment. ’Well, as long as they don’t do anything that would harm my family, I guess I could let them slide for now.’

Kate and Henry played with Theo for a while, and the little boy began to familiarize himself with his father, though there was still hesitation in him as he often looked at his Mom, waiting for her approval.

They returned to Dahlia, who was watching them the whole time, "Is it done? I think you two should spend more time together," Dahlia said.

"I want to, but Theo is tired, and it’s a bit chilly here. I want him to rest first before he gets sick," Kate said while carrying Theo. "Besides, I want to cook something nice for our lunch. Henry said he wants to taste my cooking again."

"Oh, you would be surprised how much he hated everything the cooks served in the Grant mansion. He said it didn’t taste as good as yours," Dahlia giggled.

"Stop saying unnecessary stuff, Mom," Henry said. "Let’s go back. I don’t want Theo to get sick."

Kate unlocked the door while standing behind her while carrying their son.

As they entered the bakery, Henry took a good look around and asked, "Do you like doing this? I can open a confectionery business for you in the city if you want."

Henry knew that Kate liked to be busy herself, so if he said he wanted her to stay home, she would most likely refuse to do so.

Henry glanced at Kate, who seemed to be proud of her bakery, and his gaze darkened, ’How do I make sure that she won’t escape this time?’

That dark thought lingered in Henry’s mind.

Though he completely forgave Kate for running away, he couldn’t forget it.

He refused to forget that moment of weakness when he lost his beloved wife and son.

’Speaking of wife... I have to lower Kate’s guard as soon as possible. I HAVE to bind her with our official marriage,’ Henry thought.

There were dozens of plans running in his mind as he wanted to ensure that Kate wouldn’t leave him anymore.

Meanwhile, Kate looked around her bakery and nodded, "Well, I don’t exactly want to work as a baker. But I want to busy myself with something. This bakery has many regulars now. It’d be a waste to abandon it."

"So you want to stay in Maine?" Henry asked.

Kate turned her head towards Henry and smiled, "No, I know your work requires you to stay in New York or London. So I will follow you wherever," Kate said.

"Katherine..."

"About this house and bakery, I think I know someone who needs it and can take care of it," Kate fished out her phone and called Maya, telling her to return to the bakery with Thomas. "Alright, I’ve called Maya and Tom. They should be here in thirty minutes."

"Oh my, you want Tom to be here as well?" Dahlia asked.

"Yes, after all, I have a lot of questions for you, Dahlia," Kate said.
