262: Chapter 262

Chapter 262

"I will," Henry replied firmly. "I will protect you and our baby. I promise."1

Graham felt that a knife had stabbed his heart. He was pissed to see Kate and Henry looking so harmonious. 

He silently hoped that Henry would eventually show his true skin to Kate. 

'That time for me to get close to Kate will come,' Graham thought. 'Henry is an immature kid who can't hold a relationship for too long. He will eventually leave her or cheat on her. And I will be the man by her side when that time comes.'

Thus, Graham left after excusing himself. 

Kate sighed as she saw Graham leave the room. 

She liked Graham as a friend because he seemed a mature and stable man who could connect with her.

But she had zero romantic interest in him. Because Henry was a fantastic man and full of passion, he knew how to surprise her, and he was also great in bed.

As a woman who had never experienced good sex for her entire life before she met with Henry, she couldn't help but get addicted to his touch. 

"Thank you, Kitty," Henry said. His emerald-like eyes were still staring at her intensely. 

"Hm? For what?"

"For choosing me," Henry said. "I'm super pissed off at Graham for trying to steal you, but I hold back because I don't want to stress you out during an important day."

Kate chuckled, "You don't need to thank me for that. I don't have any romantic feelings for him. I just want to ensure he knows I won't leave you."

Henry was still amazed by Kate's gesture just now.

He knew it was just a small gesture to show Graham she was HIS woman.

But it created a huge tidal wave in Henry's heart; he felt he had been recognized, and thus, he had to treasure their relationship seriously. 

Henry kissed Kate's hand and whispered, "I love you, Katherine."

Kate felt a jolt of electricity rushing under her skin. She lowered her head out of shame and murmured, "I love you too, Henry."

The air around them got hotter, Henry was about to kiss Kate's lips, but Graham walked in with Matt by his side before he could do that.

Kate quickly pushed Henry before he could get the kiss he wanted, much to Henry's annoyance.

"Mr. Grant, please don't touch my client before the trial. It's inappropriate," Graham said out of pettiness. "I'm here with Mr. Matthew Woods, as requested."

"Yo," Matt smiled from ear to ear as if he had already won the case. "Is this the waiting room for us? I thought this was a hotel room since you two are making love here! Hahahah!"

Henry glared at Matt, and the latter stopped laughing immediately.

After what happened two days ago, Matt's body had been conditioned to fear Henry. His instinct already told him NOT to mess around with Henry, or else he would get hurt or die and ditch in a random place. 

Kate smiled at Graham, "Thank you for bringing him in, Mr. Hubbard. You can leave now."

The room was filled with only three people now. Kate and Henry sat on the chairs while Matt stood near the door like a student being punished by his teacher. 

Kate understood that Henry must've spooked Matt enough until he didn't even dare to open his mouth. 

She tapped Henry's thigh to stop him from glaring.

"Why don't you sit here and talk with me, Matt? After all, we are about to get divorced soon. It'd be nice to have a chat before I completely cut you out of my life," Kate said. "Besides, I'm sure you must've been angry about me setting up a trap for your mother, right?"

Matt finally raised his head after Kate mentioned his mother.

Indeed, he was so angry at Kate, who dared to trap his innocent old mother until she got arrested. 

"You went too far, Kate," Matt said. "My mother is innocent. She did nothing wrong!"

"Nothing wrong?" Kate raised her brow. "You think selling my house's furniture is not wrong?"

"You earned way more than that!" Matt insisted. "Why are you so stingy and petty to your mother-in-law? So what if she wants to take a few pieces of furniture and sell them? You can just buy more, right?"

Matt shifted his gaze at Henry, hoping Henry would take his side after knowing Kate's bad side, "Mr. Grant, you should know that Kate is cruel enough to let the police arrest my mother, an old woman in her sixties! She is so fucking vicious!"

"I know," Henry replied curtly. "I've been watching over my woman's activity. I know fully well what she's doing. That's why I already predicted you'll meet me at the office."

"You should thank her. If she doesn't stop me from hunting you down, you'd be dead meat in a dumpster by now."

Matt shuddered. He knew Henry was dangerous, but he didn't expect him to be extremely vicious like Kate. 

He was very different from James, whom Matt met and talked to once. 

He was very amiable and kind. He also didn't even try to argue with Matt. 

Heck, he even gave Matt a thousand dollars to buy a new TV so Matt would let Kate go with him to an office party once!

"Don't be mean to him, darling," Kate patted Henry's thigh again. "I am truly sorry about what I did to your mother. How about I compensate for the damage I caused? I will give you one million dollars, but in exchange, you have to annul the prenup."

Matt's eyes widened.

Kate actually dared to offer him one million dollars in exchange for the prenup annulment.

'But why would I do that? I will get literally four to five million dollars as my divorce settlement!' Matt thought. So he shook his head vehemently, "No way. I will not annul that prenup!"

"Really? How about two million dollars then?"
