He Stole Me From My Deadbeat Husband-Chapter 511

"SHE SAID YES!"

Kate was surprised when she heard the familiar voice loudly announcing the proposal’s success. She lifted her head and saw Chloe and Vernon looking at them from afar.

Chloe waved her hand towards Kate, and one by one, her family members came out of their hiding spot and approached the lovebirds in the pavilion.

Kate saw Chloe, Vernon, Dahlia, and Lord George carrying Theo, Mai, and Michael, standing in front of them.

"Thank God you accepted my proposal, Kate," Henry chuckled as he got up and lifted Kate in a bridal style. He turned around, facing his family members, who were happy with the successful proposal. "It would be awkward if you said no."

"I would never say no, you know that..." Kate’s cheeks reddened as she got embarrassed when she realized everyone had been watching her with Henry the whole time. "Why’s everyone here? Is there any special occasion? An event?"

"What do you mean? This is the event," Dahlia chuckled. "We’re here to prepare for your wedding, which will be held here, the Glassmist Castle."

"S—So you have planned everything?" Kate asked Henry.

"Yeah," Henry smiled. "At first, I only told Chloe and Vernon about it, but everyone naturally wants to join the fun to congratulate us."

"Okay then..." Kate’s face was so hot as she realized they must’ve seen her being so sweet and cuddly with Henry. "P—Put me down first, Henry. It’s embarrassing when everyone is looking at us like this..."

"No, I want everyone to see that we will be husband and wife soon!" Henry claimed boldly. He looked at his family with whom he wanted to share his joy, "Look at us, everyone! We’re about to marry soon!"

Everyone cheered loudly as they were glad that everything went well. Kate was the only one who was so embarrassed that she buried her face on Henry’s chest.

"You’re so embarrassing..." Kate complained in a low voice that only Henry could hear.

Henry chuckled, "But you still love me, right?"

...

"I love you, Henry Grant," Kate whispered.

A month after the proposal, Kate and Henry began planning their wedding in the Glassmist Castle.

Chloe helped with the dress fitting. Kate was a tall lady with a great figure, so picking a dress for her was especially difficult because everything fit so well for her.

"What kind of wedding dress you had, Chloe?" Kate asked as the dressmaker kept on bringing one catalog after another.

"I was five months pregnant when I got married. So my dress was a bit looser," Chloe replied while checking the catalog with Kate. "But I never like luxury. I have a disdain for overly luxurious things after what happened to my first marriage. That’s why I keep telling Vernon not to go overboard with his gifts for every anniversary."

Chloe glanced at Kate, listening carefully, and then smiled, "You don’t need to be like me, you know that, right? It’s fine if you want a shiny dress full of diamonds. Henry can afford it anyway."

"No, I’m also not into overly glamorous things," Kate replied. "But as a Duchess, I’m obliged to at least incorporate a hint of luxury in my wedding dress for my status. So I have to be careful."

"Then maybe you can wear a plain, tight-fitting white dress with an open-shoulder style. You can wear a suitable necklace, probably something less flashy, like a pearl or diamond necklace and earring," Chloe said. "You have a great body, Kate. You should be able to wear it perfectly."

Kate told the dressmaker about Chloe’s suggestion, and the dressmaker went to work as soon as possible by checking the suitable bodice for the new Duchess’s bridal dress.

Kate tried the dress in the changing room, and once the curtain was pulled, Chloe clicked her tongue in awe, "Wow, are you sure that you want to wear that for the wedding?"

"W—Why? Does it look bad?"

"No, I’m just worried that Henry will faint! Oh my god, you look stunning!" Chloe cheered.

"Yes, Lady Ross, you look absolutely gorgeous!" The dressmaker approved as well. "I think a small diamond necklace and earring would complete the look!"

"Yep, I think so as well!" Chloe agreed.

Kate turned around and looked at herself in the mirror. She felt nostalgic because this was her second time wearing a wedding dress.

The only difference was...

Henry bought this wedding dress for an unreasonable amount of money, while her previous wedding dress was borrowed from her mother.

After all, they had no money at that time, and Kate was already happy with what they got. Unfortunately, Matt took advantage of Kate’s humility and became a deadbeat husband instead.

But now she began to realize that she deserved to have more. She deserved to be happy with a man who loved her and provided her with a good life.

She had always wanted to be a housewife. She was raised to be one, but the situation forced her to be a career woman instead, slowly killing off any hope of having a complete family with a loving husband and many kids.

Kate bit her lower lip, staring at herself, ’I want to be happy too. I want to be with a man who respects me and loves me. I want to have kids.’

’So I deserve this, I truly deserve this even after everything Henry and I went through,’ Kate told herself, as she didn’t want her insecurity and guilt to eat her up from the inside and give her unnecessary doubt.

Kate finally turned back towards the dressmaker and Chloe, then said, "I will pick the earring and necklace myself."

**

Kate and Chloe spent the entire day with the dressmaker. After Kate said yes to everything, they went to the mall near the area and ate dinner together before Kate excused herself to the toilet.

"Are you sure you don’t want me to accompany you?" Chloe asked worriedly.

"Oh, come on, I’m just going to the restroom. Enjoy your dinner first. I’ll be back," Kate assured.
