310: Chapter 310

Chapter 310

Michael got tense knowing Henry would be absent for weeks or even months.  2

He might be able to handle Sarah because he believed that she would probably act more subtly even if Sarah turned out to be evil.

But Marlon was a whole different difficulty.

Because Marlon was very aggressive and somewhat unpredictable, who knew what would happen next if he decided to go and kill Dahlia or Kate?

"I can handle Sarah, Sir. But I don't think I can handle Marlon," Michael replied honestly, knowing it was better to be honest rather than overestimate himself and end up putting Kate or Dahlia in danger. "He is crazy and crafty at the same time."

"Don't worry, even though I won't be with Kate physically, I will reinforce the security around her. I'll make sure to surround her with plenty of invisible bodyguards. I will also change the usual cleaning lady to a trained woman enough to subdue a man in case she gets attacked."

"I'll also put CCTV in every spot I can imagine, inside and outside the apartment. I have to ensure that Kate and our baby are completely safe."

Michael was not surprised by Henry's dedication, but he was still amazed by how much Kate had changed Henry for the better.

He had such a destructive and nihilistic view of what would happen in the future before he met with Kate and realized he wanted to settle down with her and their baby instead of sacrificing them for power.

"Then, there is nothing I can suggest, Sir. I will protect Kate and Dahlia with my utmost strength. Good luck with your trip to meet with your cousin in New York," Michael said. "Though, before you leave, I think you should do something important first."

"And what is it?" Henry thought that he had set up everything to protect Kate. The only thing he hadn't done was to call his cousin for the second time to check if he was available. After all, he was so busy, and he'd spend it with his pregnant wife when he wasn't.

Which was completely understandable in Henry's perspective. Because he'd also do the same, he'd rather spend his free time with Kate.

"You haven't told Kate you're leaving," Michael said. "You can't keep her in the dark like this, Henry. She is carrying your baby. What if she got too stressed and had a miscarriage?"

Henry's face paled the moment Michael mentioned miscarriage.

He might be trying to hide from Kate right now, but that didn't mean he wanted her to get too stressed out and end up hurting herself and their baby.

"But she will ask me many things, and I'm not ready to tell her about all the shitty things I planned for her before," Henry said. 

"You don't need to tell her everything, just enough to make her feel safe and loved," Michael suggested. "I'm not sure which one would give her that safe and secure feeling, but that is what you must think about before you leave, Henry."

Henry knew that Michael was right.

He had to do something before he left so Kate wouldn't be distressed. Even if it was just a few weeks or months, it would be hell for Kate because he would be absent in her life.

"Trust me, Michael. It also pains me knowing that I can't be with her for the time being," Henry said. "But I get it. I will do something. You can leave now."

Michael nodded, but before he left, he confiscated all the alcohol bottles, filled glasses on the table, and put them on the food trolley. 

"Hey! Those are my drinks!"

"I forbid you to drink anything until you're done talking to your woman," Michael said, acting like a good friend in front of Henry. "The last thing I want to do is to drag the drunk you to the apartment, only for you to blabber about unnecessary things in front of Kate… or Mai. I don't want more problems. We have enough."

Michael opened the door, and before he left, he said, "Remember, Henry, this is advice from a friend. I want you to tell Kate anything that is enough to give her peace of mind. She doesn't deserve to be distressed because of the shitty thing you planned before."

Michael walked out of the room and closed the door, allowing Henry to think about what he should do next to appease Kate.

"Ah, should I just meet her? But even if I do, how could I answer many of her questions?"

Thus, Henry decided to spend the night in his club, doing nothing but thinking.

Kate spent the whole day getting distressed about what happened in the morning. After she failed to get the blessing she wanted from Dahlia, Henry simply refused to talk to her and hadn't come home yet.

Kate checked the wall on the clock.

"Almost midnight," she murmured. She began frantically calling Henry's phone again, but Henry blocked her, and none of her texts went through.

"Oh, Henry, why are you doing this to me? You're going to make me cry…" Kate said.

It took an hour of nonstop texting and calling until she gave up. She was tired of many things that happened today and didn't want to harm her baby by getting overly stressed by things she couldn't help.

So she went to bed at one o'clock, thinking about Henry repeatedly until she got drowsy and fell asleep.

Kate was in a deep sleep until she felt a big body lying right next to her, and a strong hand gently wrapped around her stomach, intertwining his fingers into hers.

Kate gasped as her heart jumped for a second but soon recognized this feeling of familiarity as Henry began breathing on her nape and ear. 

"Are you awake, Love?" Henry asked. 

"Henry, you—!"Kate wanted to turn around and face Henry, but her man quickly buried his face on her shoulder and locked her in place, ensuring that Kate couldn't see his expression right now.
