200: Chapter 200

Chapter 200

"Maybe the fault is not only in him," Kate sighed. "It's not easy when you date someone younger than you, I guess."2

Kate began to wonder what she should do in this situation. 

Obviously, she wouldn't submit and let Henry control her life just because he got jealous and insecure. But she should also find a way to appease his bitterness. 

Kate stared at the dark sea after the sun had set. It was quite windy outside, and Kate wondered if Henry would be alright since the storm was coming. 

"I need to call Michael, just to make sure that he watches over Henry. I don't want him to get in trouble or an accident because he got drunk."

Thus, Kate grabbed her phone and searched for Michael's contact number, but before she could call him, she suddenly got a text from none other than Graham Hubbard. 

—

From: Graham.

Just want to remind you that we will meet during brunch in La Fayette. I've discussed your case with my team and have a good idea. 

I can't wait to meet you again, Kate.

—

Kate gulped after she reread the text.

She didn't know if it was intentional or not, but Graham's text, despite sounding professional enough, had a flirtatious undertone beneath it. 

"No, this is just a coincidence, I don't think Graham intentionally sent a flirty text to me. Maybe it's just me who overthinks," Kate tried to deny. "After all, there is no way a man would fall in love after just one meeting, right? That's just crazy."

But Kate understood that she might be the cause of the rift between Graham and Henry, even though they were supposed to be old friends. 

"No, I have to fix this. I don't want to be the woman who ruined a long friendship between them," Kate said.

She was thinking of a good answer, and after a while, she finally texted back before calling Michael.

Henry drove to the nearest bar but then changed his mind halfway, thinking he needed to go far to find peace for himself. 

He was afraid that he'd change his mind once his mind got a little hazy after many drinks, and then he'd return home and confess how insecure he was to Kate.

His pride told him to at least swallow what his heart desired for now.

He ignored the heavy storm announcement from the radio and then drove downtown to one of his favorite bars downtown, Spyre 80.

He parked his car and went up for a drink. 

The guard at the front stopped him first and asked, "Membership, Sir."

Henry sighed and gave his membership card for this exclusive bar. He disliked having to keep so many cards in his wallet, but this one was important because the place was quiet, which he preferred.

He liked a quiet place when his mind was troubled.

The guard nodded and handed the membership card back to Henry. He gave the way for him, "Welcome, Mr. Grant."

Henry ignored him. He walked into the bar. He saw at least three young men that he recognized, they were all the young masters of their respective families, and just like Henry, they were usually careless with their spending. 

They had a lot of generational wealth and an elder brother or sister who took care of the family business while they partied and threw their money in an expensive bar like this, surrounded by at least two women on their sides.

'Too bad, I can't be like them anymore…' 

Henry's life turned upside down when he learned that his Big brother had died in a car accident. He thought he'd spend his whole life partying with his friends and vacationing around the world. 

And now… he was forced to have the role he didn't want.

'I love you, Big bro. But I can't help feeling a bit bitter knowing that you left me in this mess,' Henry thought. 'Now I can't let go of your death and what our Dad did to Mom. I'm not as amiable and kind as you, I want their blood because they killed you.'

Henry's lips thinned. He ignored all of those 'friends' and told one of the staff to give him the VIP room, so he could be all alone. 

"This way, Sir."

The staff guided Henry to one VIP room that would cost him at least ten grand just to stay for the night with all the drinks. But he didn't care. Money was never a problem for him.

Henry sat alone in the VIP room, waiting for his ordered drink. He rested on the long sofa and looked up, staring at the dim, purple light.

"I knew it, I shouldn't feel sad," he murmured. "Because whenever I feel sad, all those bad memories and this fury in my heart would burst open, and I can't wait to stab my father for killing James who just wanted to be with the love of his life, Kate."

Henry's mind then tracked back to Kate and their fights today. He sighed, "Am I too harsh on her? But I don't think so. She is beautiful, she attracts so many men, especially the ones who know her worth. If she keeps in contact with all of those bastards, sooner or later, she will fall into their embrace."

There was no way Henry would allow that to happen. He had already promised to be Kate's only one, so he also demanded the same from her.

He wanted Kate to be his only one as well.

Henry clenched his fist, thinking about Graham, who dared to set up a date with Kate behind his back.

"Heh, I guess I'm the idiot here. How come I fail to see that he will be interested in her? Graham is just like my brother. They have similar tastes, of course he will fall in love with Kate."

As Henry was busy cursing Graham in his head, the door was suddenly knocked, and a sexy woman wearing a black dress walked in.

She was carrying a tray with a bottle of whiskey he ordered and a glass with an ice ball in it

"Here's your drink, Sir. Do you want me to do anything else?"

Henry was stunned by the woman who came to his room, it had been a while since he last saw that familiar face, and he subconsciously muttered her name, "Mindy?"
