Chapter 116
"Me? With another man? pfft–ahahah!" Kate laughed heartily as if that was the funniest joke she had heard in a week. "I’m not a rich, young, and handsome hunk who flirted with any living being on earth like you, Mr. Grant. Before you can catch me with another man, I’d catch you with at least ten more women first!"
Henry laughed as he found that joke funny, "You’re underestimating yourself, Kitty. Who knows how many men you can seduce with your beauty? You’re the most beautiful flower in a garden, and the bees can’t help themselves to get closer so they can get your sweet nectar."
"And you’re one of those bees?" Kate teased.
"No, I’m the bee swatter. I swatted them all, so I can have all of you for myself," Henry claimed. "Hmm, maybe I should burn the beehive as well, just to make sure."
They both laughed. This kind of cute tease, added with a ridiculous joke, thawed the awkwardness between them.
Kate and Henry felt much closer after that, and Henry asked, "Seriously, did I do something that hurt you last night?"
"Not at all," Kate said. "Don’t worry, you will be the first one to know if you did something that hurt me."
"I like that," Henry nodded. "Make sure to let me know if I accidentally hurt you. I want to make sure that you’re safe from anyone, even from me."
Kate felt that Henry’s words were a little off. But she tried to brush it off and changed the topic, "By the way, do you know that Michael asked me to tell Mai about our plan?"
