Chapter 75
"You’re the first woman I’ve allowed into my apartment," Henry replied from the side as he returned fully dressed.
Kate jumped from surprise. She immediately looked to the left and saw Henry leaning on the wall. He wore an oversized shirt with a black boxer briefs covering only half his thigh.
He crossed his arms and stared at Kate, who had been enjoying the view of the magnificent sunset for a while. His emerald eyes gazed intently at her and said, "You’re the only woman I have ever allowed to enter this apartment."
"Really?" Kate asked. She found that unbelievable. "Not even your past lovers?"
"I lived in a dorm with my friends when I was in university," Henry said. His mood seemed to darken as he talked about this. "I purchased this apartment a year ago, and I don’t bring any of my hookups here."
"In fact, I never allow anyone except the housekeeping to enter this place," Henry added. His gaze softened as he stared at Kate. "I guess you could say you are my first guest."
"That’s unfortunate," Kate commented, returning her gaze to the window pane. "The view from this apartment is breathtaking. You should bring someone special here to spend the evening and watch the sunset with."
’That’s why I allow you in, Kate. I want to watch the sunset with you every evening,’ Henry said in his heart but dared not to utter it because he didn’t want her to give him the cold shoulder again, he hated every moment of it.
Henry sat on a smaller seat, separating himself from Kate because he knew he couldn’t control himself if they got too close.
