219: Chapter 219

Chapter 219

0Two weeks had passed since their last meeting with Graham, and Kate had been impatiently waiting for the good news. 

Graham promised to make things easier for her, and though she didn't know what kind of help he could give, she was already impatient to file for divorce. 

"Kitty, you don't need to cook for breakfast. Let's just order it," Henry said as he saw Kate prepare the ingredients for breakfast.

He was worried that Kate would push herself too much and harm their baby in the process.

"This is the fifth time you said that this week," Kate mentioned. "Don't worry, Henry. I'm pregnant, not dying. I won't die just because I cooked some light breakfast for us."

"But still…" Henry walked towards his woman and hugged her from behind. He kissed her earlobe and continued, "I just don't want anything bad happening to you and our baby."

Kate smiled, "Well, me and our baby are hungry right now. So if you don't mind, release your tight hug and let me cook breakfast."

Henry sighed. 

He released his hug and sat, staring at Kate, who was busy preparing a few ingredients. 

He felt a burden in his mind because he had been withholding information about Kate's divorce from Graham.

He was still waiting for Kate to relent and change her mind, thinking that acting pitiful and dumb in the court was not worth the assets because all the money that Kate would lose if the prenup didn't get annulled was laughable in Henry's eyes.

He could give her a hundred times her lost assets.

But Kate was very stubborn, much to his grievance.

"So, what do you think? Do you still want to annul the prenup?" Henry asked.

Kate paused for a second before continuing her cooking preparation, "Obviously. I'm waiting for Graham to come with the good news. I can't wait to divorce that useless man as soon as possible."

"Kitty, can I do anything to make you forget about the prenup?" Henry asked. "I still can't allow you to be pitied in court…"

…

"This is my fight, Henry. You can't change the decision I made," Kate said. "After five years of feeding that useless bastard, I can finally leave and find a better man who'd love me wholeheartedly."

…

"Alright, since you're so stubborn about it, I guess I can't do anything to stop you," Henry said pitifully. "I already got the news from Graham. I met him a few days after our last meeting to ask about another way to get your prenup annulment."

Kate's body moved on its own when Henry mentioned the divorce, "Is it my time to go to the court?"

"Yes, today is the right day for you to file for divorce because he has been working in the background to make the divorce favorable on your side," Henry said truthfully, knowing hiding it would only hurt Kate in the long run. "I will accompany you if you want to go today."

Kate noticed the bitterness in Henry's eyes. He had been truthful about it, but that didn't mean he completely agreed with what Kate was doing. 

Kate didn't understand this pride of a man Henry had been preaching about for at least a week. He insisted that his woman shouldn't be perceived as weak by anyone, especially in public.

Shouldn't Henry be happy if Kate wanted to handle her divorce in her way without giving him a headache? She thought most men wanted their wives to be independent and relied less on them.

'Or maybe because I grew up surrounded by incompetent men my whole life. My dad was a wolf in sheep's clothing. He was a predator, and I got him arrested because I refused to play along with my Mom's blind act.'

'My first and only boyfriend was Matt, and he is a walking disaster. He is selfish, lazy, and manipulative. He never said anything about pride for a man or acted on it. After all, he leeched on my money for five years without feeling ashamed…'

Kate wondered if she was being unfeeling and insensitive towards Henry again. 

'Ah, as expected, I am unfit to be a good housewife for someone like Henry,' Kate thought. 'I'm not meek and sweet and way too stubborn for my good.'

Kate also felt distressed knowing that she couldn't be the dream 'woman' that Henry wanted, even though he was actually her dream man. 

But she didn't want to ruin the joyous occasion by fighting with Henry in the morning. Thus, she turned around and began to cook for breakfast again. 

They finished their breakfasts and prepared themselves to go to the court.

"Kitty, are you ready?" Henry asked as he combed his hair to the back. 

Since there was no answer, Henry walked into the room and saw Kate checking all the documents required to file for a divorce. 

There was a bulk of documents, and Kate was sorting them out.

"Wait, you have everything prepared this whole time?" Henry asked.

"Yes, I've been waiting for this moment, Henry. I've prepared everything since the moment I packed up my stuff and left the old apartment where Matt and I lived before," Kate replied without looking at Henry as she was busy putting all the documents needed in her bag.

After she was done, she grabbed the bag and turned around, smiling at Henry with an assuring smile, "Let's go. I can't wait to break free from that useless bastard."

**

They drove to the state court that Graham had pointed out. He said he had done something in favor of the speed of the divorce. 

Henry parked the car and was greeted by the sight of Graham's car parked not far from their position. 

"Hmph, it seems that he already expects us to be here today," Henry sneered, still having a feud with that bastard who covered his woman. 

Kate chuckled, held his hand, and said, "Can you be civil with him just for today?"
