314: Chapter 314

Chapter 314

Henry didn't pack anything as he prepared to leave for New York.  2

He simply grabbed his car key and left the apartment. He wanted to check on Kate again, but he was afraid that he had no strength to say goodbye.

So he opened the door and was greeted by Michael at the front. 

"Did you tell Mai about it already?" Henry asked. 

"Yes, she already moved in with me—in a separate room, of course," Michael said. His cheeks slightly reddened as he couldn't hide his joy. But he cleared his throat and tried to fix his expression, knowing that Henry must've gone through so much right now. "Did you tell Kate?"

"I told her about Sarah and the engagement," Henry replied. "I also told her about Sarah trying to seduce me and possibly going to find her and attack her."

"And her response is?"

Henry scoffed, "Do I really need to say it? She said that I made her a mistress."

"A mistress…" Michael sighed. "As much as I hate to say this, you should've known she is right."

"I know she is right, and I'm not trying to defend myself," Henry said. "Though the circumstances are different, she is still the mistress, and no matter how much I tried to coax her to forgive me, she simply turned her back on me. I don't know if she will ever forgive me."

Henry got depressed, thinking that Kate would never forgive him. 

But he believed that he could melt her heart eventually. He just needed time to prove to Kate how much she meant to him. 

"… I'm so sorry, Henry," Michael sympathized. 

"No, don't feel sorry for me," Henry refuted. "I did wrong by keeping her in the dark. That's why I will meet my cousin to make things right. And for the time being, please protect my woman. I will forever be indebted to you if you did the job right, Michael."

"I will ensure she won't get hurt," Michael assured. "You should leave now. The more you spend here, the more you may change your mind."

"Yeah, you're right."

Henry walked out of the apartment and went down with Michael.

Michael drove his boss to the airport for an early flight, and Henry departed at around four in the morning.

Kate woke up feeling groggy the next morning. She grunted as she yawned a few times, processing what happened last night.

And once her brain woke up, she turned around to check the empty spot next to her on the bed and muttered, "Henry…"

Kate wished everything was just a bad dream. She wished that Henry was still sleeping next to her, probably with his mouth open and snoring on top.

Henry was kind of goofy-looking when sleeping, but it was like a good thing to start a day for Kate. 

Unfortunately, what happened last night wasn't a nightmare. Henry tricked her this whole time.

She thought she was the only woman he had, and she was nothing but a mistress.

It took a while for Kate to process everything that happened last night, and once she was done with it. She got up and grabbed her belongings in Henry's closet. 

She stuffed it all inside a suitcase.

After making sure that everything was packed, she went to the bathroom and washed her face. She threw her toothbrush standing next to Henry's, and threw away all of her body care. She checked around the apartment and tossed every small thing she had until the apartment felt empty, just like the first time Kate entered this apartment. 

Unsurprisingly, she didn't find Henry anywhere inside the apartment. He was probably in the other apartment room, as he told her he bought the entire floor just for them so nobody would disturb them.

"It's better to just call him later. I don't want to have another fight with him in the morning," Kate said as she returned to the bedroom.

She dragged her suitcase to the front door and halted her step once she saw the overcoat that Henry often used.

She stared at it for a while and decided to grab it.

She sniffed the coat, and her heart felt warm, "It's his scent, and his warmth too…"

Thus, Kate decided to wear the coat, a little souvenir from her man, before she got a break from Henry for at least a week or even a month, depending on whether she could forgive Henry for lying to her. 

Nevertheless, she knew that she would return.

"I promise that I will be by your side for anything, as long as you're not trying to hurt me or our baby. So…" Kate took a deep breath and looked over her shoulder, staring at the apartment and murmuring. "I will return once I'm ready."

Kate opened the apartment door and walked to the elevator. 

Ding!

The elevator door was opened, and she was shocked to see the man standing inside the elevator.

"Michael?"

"Ah, Kate, good morning," Michael greeted. He bowed a little and noticed the suitcase behind Kate. "Where are you going?"

"… I'm going to return to my old apartment," Kate said. She wondered if Henry had told Michael about what happened last night or maybe Michael was just as clueless as she was.

'No, that's not possible,' Kate thought. 'Michael and Henry are best friends from similar backgrounds. They must've known each other for so long. He must've known about Sarah too.'

'So, in the end, Michael is no better than Henry. They are working together to fool me,' Kate sneered in her heart. 'I feel bad for trying to match him with Mai. She deserves much better.'

"Move back?" Michael frowned. He stepped out of the elevator and blocked the way out for Kate, so the elevator door was closed, and it went down. "I don't think you should be leaving, Ma'am. This place is the safest for you."

"Says who? Says the bastard who lied to me and made me his mistress?"
