Chapter 141

[Song Recommendation: King Mala - Cult Leader.]0

"Mad enough to ditch a brilliant woman like you, just for a skank like her, of course, hahaha!" Henry couldn't help but laugh. The notion was ridiculous, but he knew Erin would be 100% convinced that Henry was crazy for her. 

After all, that woman was so delusional and stupid. She really thought that all men would fall on their knees for her. 

She wasn't even beautiful, and based on Michael's investigation, all of the men that slept with Erin were failed men. 

They were the same type as Matt. 

Either a deadbeat, or a bastard, or both.

Henry thought that Kate would agree to his suggestion immediately. After all, she needed the one-week vacation away from that bitch.

But Kate didn't even smile.

She frowned and asked, "So you can cheat on me with Erin?"

"Huh?" Henry's eyes widened. He got a little annoyed, as if Kate had offended him badly. "Cheat on you? With that skank? Are you serious?"

"W—Well, I don't know, I'm just a little worried…." Kate muttered. She knew that she was being unreasonable here. 

But she couldn't shake off this uneasiness in her heart. She believed in Matt for five years, working herself to the bone to ensure they lived decently in Los Angeles.

But he still cheated on her even though she gave him everything he needed.

-

'Why do you think that I will cheat on you? You know that I'm not that type of man, right? I'm a good man that takes my marriage vows seriously!' Matt claimed back then when Kate got a little worried about him cheating behind her back while she was so busy working.

He got so defensive and started gaslighting Kate even more, saying that Kate should be glad that Matt was a loyal man despite not earning money.

'And you should be thankful that I didn't demand more from you. All you need to do is to hand over your salary, this is compensation, since you can't even give me a child!'

'Don't worry, as long as you bring me enough money, you will be the only woman in my heart.'

-

Unfortunately, Kate didn't have the same right over Henry. 

Henry was a powerful man himself. He needed nothing from her. So she just thought it'd be easier for him to cheat than Matt.

'This is why I don't want to fall into another man's embrace. I get so clingy and suspicious…' Kate regretted it. 

"Okay, I'm sorry. I was being unreasonable just now," Kate said. "I will take your suggestion, but I don't want to take a complete vacation. I'll keep working remotely, contacting the authors I need to work with and reading manuscripts as always."

"That's good, but don't overwork yourself, Kitty," Henry said. He gently caressed her belly and said, "I don't want our baby to get hurt because you're stressed out. Don't forget to eat healthy, and don't stress about gaining weight, okay?"

Kate's cheeks reddened, "S—Stop caressing my belly!"

Henry chuckled, "Alright, alright, then how about we make a bit of a noise. I bet that skank is eavesdropping, waiting for something to happen."

Kate chuckled. She sat on the sofa and crossed her legs, "Sure, go slam the desk, kick the chair and even punch the door. Erin likes that kind of exaggeration."

"Then, I can finally release some of my pent up anger I've been holding for a while because of her," Henry said.

Thus, Kate picked a magazine on the table and read it as Henry began to kick, punch, and slam the furniture around the CEO's office. He made sure it was loud enough so Erin could hear it outside. 

BAM!

CLACK!

CRACK!

Erin flinched each time she heard noises as she put her ear close to the wooden door. She couldn't help but grin as she imagined that Henry must've been fuming, yelling, and cursing at Kate because she assaulted Erin.

'Ah, he is the type of man that I want. A powerful, yet obedient man, who will do anything I want and won't question it,' Erin thought. 'After all, that's the point of being a man, right? He needs to obey everything I said! He's not a man when he starts hesitating just because I told him to beat up some bitch.'

Erin couldn't help but roll her eyes when she remembered one embarrassing moment in her life.

It was when she was in high school. She had a boyfriend named Hector.

He was a member of the rugby team. So he was all burly and strong, a lot stronger than a regular high school kid.

He said that he'd protect her from any harm.

But his reaction was different when a scrawny nerd reported to the teacher that Erin threatened to kill him if he didn't do her assignment.

It was true. Erin threatened to kill him if he didn't do her assignment. But she couldn't believe that nerd had the audacity to report her to the teacher, which landed her a week worth of suspension.

Thus, she decided to teach that nerd a lesson. She told Hector everything but spiced it up, telling him the scrawny nerd was catcalling her, even trying to touch her inappropriately. 

But Hector didn't believe her.

Because he said he knew that nerd well. That nerd wasn't the type to catcall or touch a girl inappropriately. 

'Well, I did lie about everything, but that was not the point!' Erin couldn't help but feel bitter about it. 'He was my boyfriend, he should be listening to everything I say and believe it! He has to do everything I told him to do! What's so hard about that?!'

Erin couldn't help to cringe when she remembered Hector broke up with her just because she insisted that Hector should teach that scrawny nerd a lesson by beating him until he broke a bone or two. 

'Just because I told him to break a bone or two. He said that I'm a crazy bitch,' Erin rolled her eyes. 'If only every man I met is just like Henry. My life would be so much easier!'
