202: Chapter 202

Chapter 202

"I know that it was just a drunken and horny talk from her. But I can't simply shrug it off. Her words pierced deep into my conscience."  0

"That fateful night becomes an event I can't forget. She becomes my white moonlight, the woman that I want to spend my life with," Henry confessed. His voice began to tremble as he muttered a simple yet powerful sentence;

"She shakes the cubicle in my heart."

"Cubicle?" Mindy asked, as she didn't understand what he meant. 

"Yes, I have always trapped my heart within this small cubicle, making sure that nobody can touch it, that's why I have so many ex-girlfriends, yet loved none of them."

Mindy already knew that fact. So she wasn't surprised at all.

Henry had so many lovers before, but he always felt distant. Even during sex, he was a great bed partner, but he lacked a touch of love.

He felt more like a sex machine than a human in Mindy's eyes. 

So she was genuinely happy to know that the sex machine was actually a human who could feel love.

"And Katherine is the one who broke that cubicle?"

"Yes," Henry nodded. He stared at the ball of ice floating on his whiskey and added, "That night, she assured me that everything will be okay, that I am her only one, and she will accept me and all of my problems. We're two broken humans embracing each other tightly, and that's the happiest moment in my life."

"Despite knowing that it's a drunken talk, by the time I reunited with her and embraced her again, I could feel all of those lingering feelings flooding inside me. I lost all of my will to hurt her, and falling deeper as I know her better when we're both sober."

"I took her to my favorite sunset watching spot, and I fell in love even deeper because of how gorgeous she is. Her red and wavy hair swayed as the wind blew it gently. Her eyes are the same color of the sunset, it's brilliant and soft at the same time. She is tough, yet so serene when you take a closer look," Henry said as he described Kate's beauty. 

Mindy was stunned by how much love Henry emanated as he kept talking and talking about Kate. For an unknown reason, the usually impulsive, rash, and good-for-nothing handsome man became some sort of poet when he described the love of his life. 

"Oh, did I ramble too much? Sorry, imagining her gives me this joy, so I can't help to keep praising her," Henry chuckled lightly. 

"You're so in love, Henry. I can't believe this," Mindy said. "I really thought that you're a bastard without a heart."

"Hahah, even I thought so too before I met her," Henry said. "Sorry for being an ass when we dated before, Mindy."

"No need to say sorry, just like what I told you before. I dated you knowing all the risks," Mindy shrugged it off. "But I wonder, if you're so in love with Katherine, then why are you here, accompanied by a hostess like me? Shouldn't you be with her? I'm pretty sure she will get jealous if she sees us together."

Henry's mood turned somber instantly. He had a bitter smile as he replied, "We had a fight, and I'm here to relax because I don't know if it's me or her who's in the wrong."

"Ah, then do you want to talk about it?" Mindy asked. "I mean, it's up to you, but maybe you can get an outside perspective if you talked to me or with someone else."

Henry was considering it for a moment. He wasn't the type to share his personal life with a random hostess.

But Mindy wasn't 'random,' and she didn't seem to hold any grudge against him. 

So he drank the entire whiskey from the glass to muster his courage, "I recently introduced her to one of my business partners and friends. I thought that he would be able to help her sort out her problem."

Henry didn't want to share the detail of Kate's divorce and Graham's involvement, but this should give enough insight for Mindy., 

"I didn't expect them to click so quickly, and they get close in less than a day," Henry said. "They are like minded, in their 30s, and both are mature, while I'm just an impulsive, rash, and insecure kid in Kate's eyes."

"I know I am insecure, I mean, she is absolutely gorgeous, and I'm afraid that she'd attract too many men who want her," Henry said. "So when she told me that she set up a brunch with that friend of mine without inviting me or asking for my opinion, I exploded."

"And you accused her of cheating, right?" Mindy guessed. 

Henry's eyes widened, "How did you know?"

"Because it's obvious that'd be your next step," Mindy replied. "You said that you're insecure, and I know you'll begin accusing her of infidelity because in your mind, you think she sees you as inferior, not good enough for her."

"But maybe it's all just in your head, Henry," Mindy said. "Maybe she is really just having a normal meeting with your friend. You said to yourself that a business friend of yours can help her problem, right?"

"But you don't get it, Mindy. I can see it in his eyes, he is interested in my woman!" Henry insisted. "And Kate doesn't even understand how beautiful she is. She doesn't understand how many men want her, and I won't let her leave me!"

"Look, Henry, you can't control someone else's desire. That friend of yours might be in love with your fiance, but as long as she stays true to you, then she will never cheat."

"But how can I be sure if she'll stay true to me?"

Mindy rolled her eyes. She thought she was teaching a teenage boy how to process his feelings right now.

But she got it. Henry must've been overwhelmed by his feelings since this was the first time he fell in love so deeply.

"How can you be sure? Treat her right, and she will show you how deep her love can be."
