Chapter 182

Henry sighed.0

He knew that Erin must've left a bitter taste in her mouth. But it was true. Even Henry had to admit that it was partly Kate's fault for spoiling that woman rotten until she turned into a huge mean bitch.

"Don't worry about her. She's surviving by eating fish and seals right now, probably. I think she hasn't died yet, since that Faro guy always sent me an update of her eating boiled fish miserably," Henry said. 

Kate chuckled, she didn't want to sound mean, but the idea that her sister was suffering in isolation was enough to put a smile on her.

"Besides, I also want a daughter because I thought she would look like you," Henry said. "She will look very cute and beautiful. I'll play with her every day."

"And what's wrong with having a baby boy? I bet he will look like you," Kate said. "I've always wondered how cute it is to see the mini version of you."

"Haha—No," Henry laughed dryly. "I was a menace when I was a kid."

"Oh? So you're one of those troubled kids?"

"Pretty much," Henry admitted. "I was a little monster that wrecked everything I touched. If my son is a mini version of me, then he would turn your life upside down. He'd turn your life into hell."

"So yes, it's better to have a baby girl," Henry assured. "She will be easier to take care of, and… she will make my life easier."

Henry had a bitter smile as he said the last sentence, and Kate felt something was off with it, as if there was a hidden meaning behind it. But before she could ask, Henry quickly diverted the topic to make Kate less suspicious.

"I know it's a little sudden, but I want to know how's the progress of your divorce? Where is the lawyer that will help you to annul the prenup?" Henry asked. 

"Ah—that—"

Kate was caught off guard because, honestly, she hadn't been searching for one for a while. 

She was busy with Erin before, and after successfully ditching Erin in the frozen tundra, she got too busy with her work at the office to the point that she had forgotten about it completely.

On top of that, Matt hadn't even tried to call her anymore or at least tried to find her after she blocked the credit card again, making sure that the bastard wouldn't be able to leech off her any longer. 

…

"Kate, do you want a divorce or not?" Henry asked. He got serious instantly, thinking that Kate still had some feelings for that useless stump. 

"I do, I just got too busy with work after Erin's situation, and my soon-to-be ex-husband hasn't called me at all after I blocked the credit card," Kate said. "Don't worry, I will start looking for a good lawyer."

"I know it'll come to this," Henry said. "That's why I have prepared a lawyer of my choice."

"You've prepared a lawyer for me?" Kate was surprised. "But why? It's my problem, and I will do it myself."

"That's what you said, but it's been a month and a half since we ditched that bitch in a frozen land, and you still haven't done anything yet," Henry insisted. "I want you to divorce him as soon as possible, Kitty. You don't know how much I want to have you."

Kate's cheeks reddened. She looked around and was glad they were the only ones in this area. 

She elbowed Henry and scolded him, "Sshh, don't be so loud. You're embarrassing me."

"What's so embarrassing about wanting to marry you? Do you want me to make a public proposal as well?"

"Oh hell no," Kate refused. "W—We can talk about this later, okay? Slow down, don't rush things."

Kate was a little scared because Henry was so adamant about starting a family with her. She was flattered but at the same time, also scared because Henry was so impatient.

He was too eager, and she had never seen this kind of man before.

She always thought that men didn't want to marry too soon because it would 'rob' them of their freedom. It was also the same reason she married at 27 despite wanting to marry much earlier.

Matt said that he was still young and tried his best to get an acting and modeling gig, so if he got married early, it would decrease his value.

"We will talk about the divorce lawyer right after we get your meds. I already have a divorce lawyer perfect for this," Henry said. "I specifically brought him from his office in New York just to handle this."

Kate had a light bulb on her head when Henry mentioned New York because it seemed he had a competent divorce lawyer for her.

"Are you sure this divorce lawyer of yours can annul the prenup? I mean, it's a hard one to annul…"

"Trust me, he is the best for this," Henry assured. 

Honestly, he didn't understand why Kate was adamant about keeping all that money. 

Henry knew it was her hard-earned fortune, and Matt deserved nothing. 

But Henry could give her ten times the amount she lost from her divorce from Matt.

"Kitty, why are you so dead set on getting all of your fortunes? You know I can give you much more than what you've lost, right?" Henry offered. "In fact, we can get this over with quickly if you just comply with the prenup."

"It's not about the amount," Kate sighed. "That stump hasn't worked his entire life. All he did was leech on me for years, and I am too petty and childish to be the bigger person and let him walk away with half of my hard earned money, not after he cheated on me with my own sister."

Henry laughed. He held Kate's hand and nodded, "Alright, alright, I will help you on your path of being petty and childish. I can't wait to get this over with, so we can officially be together."
