He Stole Me From My Deadbeat Husband-Chapter 518: Side Story: A Secured Future (2)

"Give me a kiss, and I’ll forgive you," Henry said, and Kate did just that. Henry was in a better mood after getting his morning kiss. "Michael will drive you to Vernon’s mansion, and he will also drive you to the new office. Got it?"

"New office? So it’s an entirely different office building?" Kate asked.

"Yes, of course. It’s a small company, but I’m sure it’ll be entertaining for you," Henry smiled mysteriously as he let go of his hug and went to the bathroom to shower, leaving Kate curious about what kind of surprise Henry had.

She glanced at her son who was still pouting while sitting on a tall stool, and sighed, ’I guess I will need a nanny once I give birth.’

Michael drove through the busy New York street as he had become a dedicated driver and bodyguard for Kate and Theo. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

Sometimes, Kate felt bad for him because he once had a military rank, and now he had turned into a mere bodyguard and driver.

Kate already asked him a few times, asking if he was forced to do this and if he could resign from the job or ask Henry to let him do something else, but Michael always told her that he was content with his life. So she couldn’t say much.

There was silence in the car, so Kate asked, "How’s your relationship with Mai? You two are on good terms, right?"

Michael’s body stiffened, and his ears turned red as he nodded slowly, "Yes, we’re doing well. Mai and I have moved to the same apartment again now."

"Oh, that’s great! I’m so happy that you two can finally sort out your differences," Kate said. "Any plan of marrying her?"

"I have," Michael nodded. "But Mai still needs time. We need to warm up our relationship first after a rocky start."

"Sorry that I ruined your chance, Michael," Kate said apologetically. No matter how often Kate thought about it, she still felt bad because she had delayed their relationship for two years straight, even though they obviously loved each other.

"No, it’s fine, Ma’am. Mai and I still have time to get to know each other better. It’s not the end of the world," Michael said. He drove the car into the Phoenix Gray’s mansion and parked it in front of the main entrance.

Thus, Kate left the car with Theo to have tea with her family.

"Oh, you’re here! Come in!" Chloe grabbed and helped Kate carry Theo as they walked to the living room, where she saw Dahlia and Dorothea sitting side by side, drinking ginger tea in this cold weather, which was good for their body as they were getting old.

Chloe told the maid to help serve Kate tea and then told Theo to go and meet with Valerie, who was busy playing house in her room.

Thus, Theo dashed into Valerie’s room as he liked to spend time with his cousin, who was very quiet and lazy.

Kate sat beside Chloe on the long sofa, facing the old ladies as they talked about random things. But their focus was finally shifted when Dahlia asked, "Since you’re pregnant again, do you want another son or daughter?"

"I don’t mind a son or daughter, personally. But Henry said that he wants a daughter," Kate replied. She chuckled as she remembered Henry’s desperate plea. "He said we shouldn’t have a third him because Theo was already a handful."

Dahlia laughed, "Well, he was indeed a very troublesome child. But I found him adorable back then, just like I found Theo adorable."

"I know, right? I can’t believe he said he’s scared his gene might be too strong that we will keep having sons," Kate said. She then glanced at Chloe and asked, "Well, you have two daughters now. Do you want to have another one, Chloe?"

Chloe sipped her tea, "Vernon and I want it, so maybe we will wait until Valerie is four or five years old before we plan for another child."

"Oh? Do you want a son or a daughter?"

"I’m fine with both, but Vernon said he wants a son to complete our family."

"And Henry wants a daughter. It’s so funny," Kate smiled. "I hope they can be close to each other as they grow up. After all, we will be neighbors once my mansion is built."

"Oh, I can’t wait for that to happen! Now we can visit each other every day!" Chloe cheered as she was happy with the idea of being a neighbor with Kate and Henry.

Meanwhile, in the new office that he just purchased, Henry was busy dealing with this new business, a film production company. He knew that relying on another film production company for all the amazing books Empress Publishing had would be a waste because they had no voice for the creative direction, and even the authors of the adapted books couldn’t say much.

So it was better to own one, so they had complete freedom to move in a creative direction.

On top of that, he also wanted to avenge Kate for five years of injustice she had previously done to her.

Though Kate had completely moved on from that deadbeat bastard, Henry still didn’t want to let him slip. He had to make sure that man was under his control so he didn’t get another case of Graham Hubbard, who was currently rotting in jail for heavier charges of corruption, bribery, and fraud; by the time Graham walked out of that jail, he would be at least sixty years old.

As he was busy with his paper, he got a text from Michael, telling him that Kate had just finished her visit and they were on their way to the office.

Henry smiled. He put his phone down and continued working.

The door was knocked shortly after, and Mindy, his secretary, walked in with a report.

"Sir, that man—Matthew Woods is with the director right now, doing a sole casting," Mindy reported.

Henry grinned as everything was according to his plan, "Don’t forget to pressure him, so he will sign that contract no matter what."
