He Stole Me From My Deadbeat Husband-Chapter 516 [End]

"Thank you for everything, Katherine. Thank you for giving me the life I never knew I needed," Henry took a deep breath, ready for the last sentence he wanted to utter. "I am hopelessly obsessed with you, so please stay by my side for the rest of our lives."

*Henry End*

The guests were moved by Henry’s speech.

They didn’t expect the cold and intimidating young Duke and CEO to be deeply in love with his woman, to the point that he didn’t even hesitate to claim that he was obsessed with her.

Kate was not immune to Henry’s words as well.

In fact, she was the one who was most affected by it because she tried her best not to cry as it would ruin her makeup.

She wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and Henry gave her the microphone.

*Katherine*

"Before meeting you, I’ve always thought that I am not a complete woman, that I will never have a child of my own," Kate said as she reminisced about her life with Matt. How that bastard took advantage of her insecurity and fooled her to think that she was barren. "But you came to me and broke all of my doubts. You give me a life I never knew I wanted."

"You taught me what true love is and how much we have to fight to make it happen," Kate paused as she stared at her son and husband, who resembled each other so much. Both of them were smiling at her, and she couldn’t handle her emotion.

She began to sob as she continued, "I am sorry that I’m not a perfect woman for you, but I will work on it every day. I will be the woman that will stand side by side with you without feeling small."

"Mama, hug?" Theo asked as the boy saw his Mama was sobbing. He got worried, thinking that his Mama was sad, "Mama..."

Kate chuckled and replied, "It’s okay, Theo. Mama is just happy."

"Happy?" Theo tilted his head as he didn’t understand. He looked at his father, who didn’t cry, so he extended his hand to pat his Papa’s cheek. "Papa, are you not happy?"

"Papa already cried before," Henry said. "Your Mama is just so happy that she can’t stop crying."

"Mm..." Theo was too young to understand. But seeing that his Mama was smiling sincerely at them gave him peace of mind.

Kate took a deep breath to collect herself as she finished her speech, "I will stay by your side until death do us part, Henry. I love you."

*Katherine End*

After Kate and Henry finished their speech, Henry slowly handed his son to Vernon as they would start the marriage vow.

Since little Theo had failed his job as a ring bearer, Michael carried the ring box right now.

The Bishop started with the vow, seeing how the bride and groom were eager for it.

"If you are ready to assume the obligations and duties before God, as I have defined them, you will unite your hands and pledge your love and your lives to each other," The Bishop turned his head at Henry and said. "Groom, repeat after me."

Henry took a deep breath as he started his vow;

"I, Henry Theodore Grant, take you, Katherine Krista Ross, to be my lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, for as long as we both shall live. This is my solemn vow."

The Bishop nodded and then turned his head towards Kate, who slowly reached for Henry’s hand, yearning for his support as they would be bound together by marriage for the rest of their lives.

Henry held her hand gently but tight enough to assure her everything would be okay.

After all, they went through many storms and came out stronger than before. So there was nothing to be scared about.

"Bride, please repeat after me," the Bishop said, and Kate nodded as she declared her vow;

"I, Katherine Krista Ross, take you, Henry Theodore Grant, to be my husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, for as long as we both shall live. This is my solemn vow."

"You will now exchange rings as a symbol of the lifelong commitment and abiding love which you as husband and wife have promised to each other," the Bishop said.

Michael gave the wedding ring to the Bishop, and the Bishop allowed Henry to take the ring meant for Kate, "Groom, please put the ring on her finger."

Henry stared at Kate, whose hands were trembling. He gently slid the ring onto her finger and kissed her hand softly, "Looks good on you, sweetheart."

The Bishop turned to Kate and said the same thing. So Kate picked up the ring and slid it on Henry’s finger.

The Bishop continued his prayer and finally declared their marriage.

"... having witnessed your vows for marriage before God and all who are assembled here, by the authority invested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride."

Kate and Henry took a step forward at the same time. Both of them were eager for their first kiss after marriage.

Henry gently caressed Kate’s cheek, then her lips.

Kate chuckled and joked, "I am real, Henry. This is real. We’re married now."

"I know, it still feels unreal for me. I can’t believe I’m lucky enough to marry a woman like you, Katherine... my wife..." Henry said as he leaned forward.

He tilted his head slightly as he kissed her sweet lips, a taste he would never get bored of.

Kate closed her eyes. She draped her arms on his shoulder and went for the second kiss.

They could hear the guests’ applause, but neither wanted to stop, even wanting to go for the third kiss.

"Okay, that’s enough. There are children here," the Bishop sighed as he tapped Henry’s shoulder to stop him. "You two can do it later in private."

Kate and Henry chuckled. They closed their eyes and embraced each other.

Henry ignored the crowd and whispered, "I can’t wait for our honeymoon."

"Sshh, not now, Henry. Let’s just enjoy this blissful day... wholesomely, of course," Kate replied as she rested her head on his chest, feeling the accelerating heartbeat of the man who changed her life.

He stole her from her deadbeat husband, showing her that she deserved to be loved, and gave her a son that she loved dearly.

He wouldn’t give up on her, so she should also toughen up and fight for him.

’Thank you for giving me this wonderful life, Henry.’

A few months later, in Los Angeles, a man in his thirties was busy cursing at the director as he got rejected from another casting.

"Fuck you, asshole! I don’t want to act in this stupid TV show anyway. I will find a movie! I will be a big star!" Matt said as he got kicked out by the security guards.

He slumped on the ground for a moment and then patted his soiled shirt.

He got up and walked through the Los Angeles streets with barely enough money for rent.

Graham Hubbard, His sole donator, was caught in a big case, so he was all alone now, relying solely on his looks and barely passable acting skill to go through one casting after another.

He gritted his teeth as his phone rang, and he knew it was another call from his mother.

He turned off his phone and continued his stride until he stopped in front of an advertisement on Videotron;

*

Empress Picture Entertainment is searching for actors and actresses to play in the new movie, ’He Stole Me From My Deadbeat Husband.’

For inquiry, Call +1 XXX

Matt frowned. This was the first time he had heard of that company. It was probably a new company, but the fact that they could rent a huge Videotron only to advertise an audition for their new movie meant they must have huge funding!

The name of the movie irked him so much as it reminded him about that bitch who left her after all the sacrifices he did for her.

’Heh, why do I need to think about that whore anyway? I will surely get accepted for this one and become a huge star! I will surround myself with many hot bitches, heheh~.’

Thus, Matt called the number from the Videotron and after he introduced himself, the operator quickly connected him to the main secretary named Mindy.

—

"Yes, my name is Matthew Woods. I—Whoa! Are you serious? I will have a private casting by myself!?"

"Yes, Sir. I will forward you our office address, and you can come tomorrow, if you want," the secretary named Mindy said.

Matt had no suspicion in mind. He simply thought that he had struck gold. Who knew? Maybe his voice was so sexy, or his charm could pierce a phone call!

So he accepted, "Yes! I will come tomorrow!"

Beep.

—

Matt couldn’t believe that he finally struck gold after so much struggle.

He smirked from ear to ear as he could imagine all the money and fame he could get, "That sagging bitch will regret leaving a hot catch like me."
