He Stole Me From My Deadbeat Husband-Chapter 509
Chapter 509: Chapter 509
[Song Recommendation: AGA - Wonderful U.]
Henry never thought he could fall in love so many times with the same woman. He had a lot of words he wanted to utter to his beloved.
He wanted to confess how much he loved her, so much that he could die from this love.
But the moment he opened his lips, Lord George cleared his throat, stopping Henry from wasting all of his words right now rather than going on with their initial plan.
Lord George smiled at Kate and Henry and nodded, "Since Katherine promised to practice becoming a proper Duchess, then I have no more questions. I give you my blessing to marry her, Henry of York."
"Thank you so much, Father. I will make sure to make her happy as my wife and Duchess of York," Henry said. Though it sounded perfunctory, Henry kept the promise inside his heart, ensuring he wouldn’t forget about it.
"I believe you, so don’t worry, you two have my full support," Lord George said. He continued playing with his grandson and said, "Henry, go give Kate a tour of the castle that would be hers in the near future. Kate will love the pavilion in the garden."
"Ah, but Theo..." Kate muttered while looking at her son,
"Don’t worry about Theo, I’ll keep him safe. I also want to play with my grandson for a while," Lord George said. He then asked Theo, "What do you think, Theo? Don’t you want to play with Grandpa?"
Theo didn’t care who he was playing with him, but since Grandpa had a lot of cookies, he nodded and continued munching on cookies.
"Alright, please take care of Theo for a while, Father. I will take Kate for a tour around the castle," Henry said. He gave Lord George a meaningful look, and the old man nodded with a thin smile.
"Go for it," Lord George said.
Kate and Henry walked out of the study room and paced through the long corridor of the castle.
This wasn’t the first time Kate had visited a castle, but she had never visited one that was still functional and luxurious.
Her eyes wandered around the tall window with a garden view outside. There was a pavilion in the middle of the garden. It looked serene, especially with all the spring flowers blooming.
As a woman, Kate was naturally attracted to such a beautiful and ethereal view, so she sighed out of awe.
Henry followed Kate’s line of sight, and she smiled, "Do you want to spend time in that pavilion?"
"Can we?" Kate asked. "I mean, you said you want to give me a tour around."
"It’s fine. You’ll eventually know everything about this castle. It will be yours after we are officially married," Henry said. "So why don’t we spend our time in that pavilion? You need to rest after we had a serious talk with my father just now. I never knew you could be so brave for my sake."
Kate’s cheeks reddened, "D—Don’t be an idiot. I’m serious when I said I will do anything for you."
Henry chuckled, he took a detour of his planned path and went straight to the garden.
He led his beloved to the pavilion.
Kate sat on the marble chair, staring at the flower garden. She inhaled deeply as she wanted to immerse herself in peace.
Henry was sitting next to her, holding her hand tightly. Neither wanted to let go, as they wanted to relish the moment together.
"I’ve never thought this day for us to sit side by side, spending time together in a real castle, staring at the flower garden we own, could come true," Kate muttered. "I buried that fantasy deep at the back of my mind after I ran away since I wanted to forget about you, Henry..."
"And how about now?" Henry said. He rubbed his thumb on Kate’s hand while staring straight. His other hand was inside his pocket, tightly holding a small box. "Do you still have that fantasy at the back of your mind?"
"I discarded it," Kate said.
"Y—You discarded it? Why?" Henry got anxious. "Did I do something wrong? Is this not beautiful enough? Tell me, I will make an even more beautiful garden for you."
"No, silly," Kate chuckled. She turned her head towards her anxious soon-to-be husband and said, "Because I don’t need to imagine anymore. Everything has come true, thanks to you."
"Katherine..." Henry murmured her name. Even after all she said, he still doubted in his heart. "Is there something you’re not satisfied with? If you want something, tell me, and I will grant it for you even if it sounds impossible."
"Really? Anything?" Kate asked.
"Yes, anything," Henry nodded. ’I don’t want you to run away again. I have to satisfy you with everything until you have no reason to leave.’
Kate could sense what was in Henry’s heart, and she thought it was normal for him to feel so.
Yet, at the same time, she also felt that Henry would never trust her if he kept this wall around them.
So she gently pulled her hand, which Henry reacted to by holding her hand even tighter than before. "What do you want to do, Kate?" Henry said anxiously. "Do you want to go somewhere?"
"Henry, let go of my hand first."
"No," Henry refused. "I don’t want you to leave." freewebnσvel.cøm
"I’m not going anywhere. Calm down, okay," Kate said. "You told me that I can get whatever I want."
...
Henry swallowed his saliva. He finally released her hand, but his eyes were like that of a snake, watching her every move attentively.
Kate got up from the marble chair and stood before Henry.
Kate smiled, leaned forward, and gave Henry a kiss on the forehead, much to Henry’s shock.
After that, she sat on his lap, draping her arms around his shoulder, and then kissed him on the lips.
It was a soft kiss that ended a bit too fast for Henry’s liking. But he stayed silent while gently wrapping his arm around her waist to support her.
"I want your trust, Henry."
