Chapter 192

[Music Recommendation: Jacob LaValle - Somewhere in Between.]0

Kate sensed the tension between Henry and Graham for no apparent reason. She didn't want them to make a fuss in public, so she patted Henry's chest and assured him, "You should go to work now, Henry. You still have plenty of things to do in the office."

"And leaving you alone here? Heck no," Henry insisted. "I will be by your side."

"Henry…" Kate sighed. "This is for the sake of my divorce. Don't worry about me, I can just use Uber to go back to the apartment."

"But—"

"Henry," Kate's voice became stern, knowing Henry wouldn't give up. 

Kate shook her head, signaling Henry to leave, or they would be in this meaningless stall for too long. 

Henry gritted his teeth and glared at Graham, "Don't you fucking dare to do anything to her, Graham."

"Aren't you overreacting?" Graham said. "This is in public, and I'm not some kind of thug who would touch your partner."

"But I get it. This is your first true lover. Of course your emotion will be uncontrollable," Graham said coldly as if he was judging Henry's hot-blooded temper, "But this is for the best of us all. Calm yourself down and go to work, Henry."

"Tsk, fine, I will go now. But Michael will stay here, I'll use Taxi instead."

Henry got up. He turned around and stomped his way out. 

Kate watched as Henry finally left the cafe and turned around to face Graham again, "I expect you to have something important you want to talk about, Mr. Hubbard. I know that you have an idea in mind."

"Indeed, truthfully, I've known you much longer than you expected, Mrs. Woods."

"Please just call me Kate, we're not in a working condition right now, at least not for me," Kate said.

"… then you can call me Graham as well," Graham said. "Let's have a talk because I have many questions about you."

Kate asked, "Is it about the divorce?". 

She had a gut feeling that Graham had a lot of questions for her, and many of them weren't related to her divorce case.

"It's… much more than that, Kate," Graham said. His brows furrowed as if he had a lot in his mind. "First of all, I want to ask you a question regarding Henry. Do you love him?"

That question caught her off guard. She didn't expect Graham to ask something so personal.

Graham realized he might sound too fussy but couldn't hide his curiosity. So he opened up immediately, "Forgive me for prying, Kate, but I see Henry and James as my family, that's why I can't help to be a bit more personal when it's a problem that involves them."

"As you see just now, Henry is overly protective, and very possessive of you. Believe it or not, despite having many flings before, he has never been this crazy over someone," Graham said. "You turn him into this new person, Kate, and I am afraid he'll be absolutely heartbroken if you're not in the same ship as him."

Kate swallowed her saliva as she got nervous. 

She had the answer in her throat already. She wanted to say that she loved him, but she was unsure if Henry could maintain his passion for a long time since he was young and impulsive.

But she couldn't open her mouth.

She felt strangely nervous as if this man would completely reject her case if she said the truth.

Graham sighed, "You don't need to be nervous around me, Kate. I'm not going to use your words as a weapon. I'm just asking out of genuine concern."

Kate took a deep breath to calm herself down and then replied, "I do love him, but I'm not sure if I should put all of my heart to him, because he is young and impulsive, there is no guarantee that he will stay with me after a while. Men tend to get bored easily."

"Fair answer," Graham said. "Truthfully, I was shocked when he said he needs my help to divorce your husband, because he wants to marry you legally."

"He has been telling me the same thing over and over, as if he actually wants to marry me after I got my divorce paper," Kate said. "But then again, I'm unsure if he will stay true to his words or not. I'm too old for him, and I can't believe how rushed he is."

"He is impulsive, indeed. But you should know that he is not the type to break his promise," Graham assured. He observed Kate's expression. He also had a lot of curiosity towards this woman because James loved this woman so much. She was actually James' only one in his heart. 

And now, Henry was also infatuated, just like his Big brother. He got so possessive and rash. Henry lost some of this cunningness, and Graham thought it could be dangerous for that young man since his family wasn't exactly the kindest. 

Graham thought this woman must be some kind of slut who lured both James and Henry with her body.

But she dressed properly, had the aura of a professional lady, well-spoken and grounded. 

'But I think I understand James and Henry…' Graham thought as he stared at Kate's brilliant eyes. 

There was a phrase that eyes were the window of the soul, and that couldn't be more true for Kate.

She had this sharp look, giving her a tough persona of a cold lady. 

But if someone stared at her eyes longer, they would soon realize she had a lot of vulnerability behind her toughness. She looked like a lady that you wanted to protect, a lady that you wanted to love.

She made you want to spend more time with her, know her better, and give your shoulder for her to cry on. 

She wasn't a woman for those weak men because those weak men wouldn't even be able to break through her tough exterior. So for a man like James and Henry, who were both powerful and willful, a woman like Kate would be their perfect match.

'On top of that, she is gorgeous,' Graham thought. 'So this is what James and Henry see… no wonder they fell in love with her, because I might—'
