189: Chapter 189

Chapter 189

Henry was busy weightlifting in his gym when he heard a commotion downstairs. He frowned and finished his gym session as soon as possible, thinking there might be an intruder.2

Only three people had access to this apartment: the housekeeping service, himself, and Kate.

He handed Kate the key to this apartment because he already told Kate many times this apartment was their home, but she insisted on staying in her apartment, much to his grievance. 

Since this wasn't the housekeeping service schedule, could it be…

"Is it Kate?" Henry murmured as he wiped his sweaty face with a small towel and opened the door. He thought it was impossible for Kate to suddenly change her mind, knowing how stubborn she could be. 

But when he saw his beloved woman dragging her huge luggage with difficulty, his eyes brightened, and he rushed to grab the luggage.

"Let me do it, it's too heavy for you!" Henry said as he snatched the luggage from her.

Kate released it and watched as Henry easily pulled the super heavy luggage and put it inside his bedroom.

"Kitty!" He rushed out of his bedroom wearing nothing but a brief. His muscular body glistened with sweat, and his face beamed with joy as he opened his arms and hugged her.

"What's gotten into you, honey? Why are you here?" Henry asked as he hugged her tight.

Kate was usually grossed out with sweat. Matt would sweat a lot, and because he rarely took a bath, he would always smell horrible.

But when Henry hugged her with his fresh out-of-gym body, Kate felt that she had been attacked with a strangely alluring scent. 

Henry smelled musky and masculine, making her want to sniff even more. 

It took a while for Henry to release her. He grabbed Kate's hand and asked again, "Are you here to stay? Will we live together from now on?"

Kate stared at Henry for a while. 

For some reason, in her mind she imagine Henry who begin to wag his tail, and he had a pair of dog ears on top of his head.

She smiled and nodded, "I'll have to stay in here for a while. Is it okay for you?"

"It's more than okay! Don't you see this apartment is supposed to be for us! This is OUR home!" Henry claimed. 

Kate heard him saying that many times but was still unsure how it could be. 

Because in her mind, she still imagined Henry bringing women into his room and having wild sex in this place. It was hard to believe when he said this apartment was untouched except by the two of them and the housekeeper.

Nevertheless, she wanted a place to stay to avoid Matt, and this place was the safest, of course. 

Matt couldn't access this place, and he had a big, strong man to punch that bastard in the face if he dared to do something to her. 

"But, is there something that caused you to move?" Henry asked. Of course, he was so happy that Kate moved in with him, but he wanted to ensure everything was alright because this event was very unlikely unless something big happened. 

Kate sighed, "It's Matt. He came to my apartment and we had an argument. I don't feel safe in my own apartment because he could come anytime he likes, that's why I decided to move, so I can get better protection."

Henry's bright and joyous expression vanished instantly the moment Kate mentioned Matt. 

He thought that the bastard wouldn't dare to come because, based on the report from Michael, Matt Ross was the type of man who was both lazy and spineless. He was a chicken that often complained but wouldn't dare to do anything.

Some nepo babies indeed stole some of the acting roles he got, but he didn't even dare file a protest, so he was left to dust most of the time.

In the end, it was his fault on why he failed his acting career, he didn't dare to fight for his right, and he was also lazy because he didn't even want to find another less competitive job.

"Did he hurt you?" Henry asked. His voice deepened, and he began to inspect Kate's body to see if there was a visible bruise on her exposed skin. 

Luckily, she seemed unharmed.

"He didn't, but I don't want to risk myself, especially when I have our baby in me," Kate replied. "Since I want to stay here, I will be cooking for you everyday. But there is a question I need to ask."

"What is it? Do you need something? Just tell me, I will buy it for you."

"It's not a 'thing.' I'm just wondering if you'll be inviting another woman in this apartment. Because it will be super awkward if I accidentally meet with your side chick."

Henry's expression turned ugly. He was actually offended by Kate's words just now, "Why do you keep thinking that I have a side chick? Didn't I tell you so many times that we're exclusive to one another? I will never find another woman, you're the only one for me, Kitty."

"I just want to keep my expectations low. There's no guarantee that you will keep loving me after a while, Henry," Kate admitted. She knew Henry must be annoyed by her hesitation, but she didn't want her feelings to get out of control.

Henry was irritated, knowing that Kate didn't seem to take him seriously. After all the things they went through in Greenland, she still thought he could cheat with any other woman.

Henry didn't know what went wrong, because he never break his promise. But since Kate didn't believe him, he ought to continuously prove his seriousness until Kate was fully convinced that she was the love of his life.

"Kitty, the divorce lawyer that I've promised you has finally arrived in Los Angeles. He's here solely to handle your case. So let's meet him tonight."
