218: Chapter 218

Chapter 218

Henry calmed down once Kate told him her reason. But that still didn't give him an ease of heart.  2

He still felt that Kate deserved the best, even in court. She went through so much, only to get humiliated when she wanted to claim what was hers.

All of those assets were the fruits of her work. She earned them fair and square, and that useless bastard wanted half of it because couldn't move his ass to get a job.

"You're punishing yourself, Kate," Henry said. "You're not dumb. You're just desperate because that bastard manipulated you into thinking that everything is your fault. So was your family. You have nobody to help you."

"But you have me now. You don't need to feel desperate for anything. I will protect you."

Kate chuckled. She gently rubbed his chest, which felt like an electrifying sensation that made him blush. He lowered his voice as he didn't want other tables to know what he was talking about, "W—What are you doing? We're in public. If you want to do it right now, let's go back to our apartment or the nearest hotel if you can't wait anymore."

Kate's light chuckle turned into a mischievous laugh, "Hihi, I just thought you're so cute and adorable, Henry."

"H—Huh? Cute and adorable?"

Henry never expected Kate to address those two words for him.

People called him a troublemaker, a monster, a bastard, or the best compliment he could get was handsome or tough.

Never did once anyone, not even his parents, call him cute and adorable.

"Mhm, you're so cute when you try to protect me. Your fierceness is also very adorable. That only makes me like you even more," Kate said lightly, not realizing what an impact she made for Henry.

Henry was stunned. He was speechless, and his heartbeat raced until he thought his chest would burst. 

Kate's words really caught him off guard. This was the first time someone called him cute and adorable, and that was from his beloved woman.

He knew that wasn't a suitable compliment for an athletic 6'3" man with muscle and intimidating eyes. In fact, he would absolutely hate it if someone else called him adorable.

But somehow, his heart felt so warm when he was with her. 

"Y—You really know how to make me feel something, Kitty," Henry said softly. His cheeks got even redder until he looked like a tomato with a blonde wig. "How am I supposed to argue when you call me cute and adorable?"

Kate chuckled as she noticed Henry's resolve began to weaken, "Then how about you listen to me for this one and allow me to act pitiful in the court so I can get that prenup annulled."

"Ugh, I still don't agree with it. But if you insist, promise me you will ditch Matt completely after you get all your assets."

"Isn't that obvious? I thought you were planning to propose after my divorce," Kate smiled. "And you don't need to tell me. Matt is already out of my mind."

"H—Hey, don't make it too obvious. I'm still planning a good proposal," Henry said. "But I'd be more than happy if you decide to ditch this idea of acting pitiful. I will compensate for all your lost assets with everything you want, okay?"

"Not a chance. This is my fight, and I will get what I deserve."

Henry sighed.

He loved Kate's fierce nature. She knew what she wanted and would not back down when she deserved it.

But at the same time, Henry hoped that she could relent after a few persuasion because Henry still hated the idea of seeing pitiful and vulnerable Kate in front of the others.

'There must be another way. I have to talk with Graham about this,' Henry thought. He was still pissed at that bastard who wanted his woman, but since Kate didn't plan on switching lawyers, then he had to cease their argument and work together to help Kate. 

"Well, since we're done with the prenup stuff, why don't we have lunch instead? I'm starving."

Erin was sitting alone in front of the fireplace. She covered her body with everything she had and used the bear pelt to warm herself. It was her last line of defense because she could bear this cold anymore.

She didn't know how long she had been trapped in this frozen wasteland, but she knew it had been long.

She became so thin after living in such a harsh condition, and she hadn't ever taken a bath. 

She lost all of her vigor as a young woman, and now she looked pale, unkempt, and gross. 

The door was opened when Erin was busy putting her hand near the fire. She turned around and saw Faro bringing the meat of a seal. 

Faro threw the food next to Erin and said, "Eat."

Erin stared at the seal meat in silence.

All this time, she had been eating nothing but fish and seals. Sometimes she grilled it. Sometimes she boiled it.

There was no fruit, no snacks, and, worst of all, no Starbucks. 

She felt so sick eating the same thing over and over, so she glared at Faro and asked, "More."

"More?" Faro chuckled and shook his head. "No more. No food."

Erin gritted her teeth. She opened the pelt that covered her chest area, showing her breasts that hadn't been touched for so long, "You can suck me. I want more."

Faro stared at Erin's breasts and laughed even harder, "Ugly. Not good. Bye."

With that, Faro turned around and slammed the door shut. 

Again, that was the answer Faro gave whenever Erin used her body for a favor. It was very frustrating because no man dared to call her ugly all this time, and no man would reject her! 

But now.

This middle-aged, average-looking man who wouldn't even hold a candle against Erin's previous affairs didn't want to touch her. It was so frustrating for her!

"Ugh, this is all because Kate is such a bitch!" Erin yelled. "I never hurt her, and I've always been a good sister to her, but this is what she did to me!"

Erin imagined Kate, who must be living the dream life with Henry, and her heart burned with fury, "Just you wait, you ugly bitch!"
