Chapter 38
"I thought that things would get better after I married him. I planned on just being a good wife at home and supporting him in his career while taking care of our children," Kate said. "But reality is often disappointing, and now I realize that my dream of becoming a normal housewife is impossible."
"Impossible?"
"Well, yeah. My marriage is done for. There is no way that I will ever return to Matt after what he did to me," Kate said. Henry almost said out of instinct that it wasn’t entirely impossible for Kate if she still wanted to be a housewife.
Because they could be together if she wanted to.
In fact, that might be a good thing to say right now because it would definitely give him a plus point in Kate’s eyes, even though he might be a bit insincere.
But before he could say it, Kate added, "And I don’t have any plan to remarry. It’s too traumatizing."
"..."
Henry zipped his mouth after that.
He thought it was foolish to almost say he wanted to marry her. Because he never promised something as serious as marriage to a woman before, what made Kate so special from any other woman to make her worthy of his commitment?
Besides, Henry remembered his family and how marriage had ruined everything in their lives. He clenched his fist under the table and lowered his head, "You’re right, marriage is traumatizing."
Kate stared at the man in front of her in silence as she studied the pained expression on his face.
