Chapter 147
Henry sighed when Kate hung up the call after he said, ’I love you.’
He often threw those three words around like it was easy to say to plenty of his romantic escapades in the past, and all of them would reciprocate instantly.
But Kate was different.
She was very vigilant and was yet to lower her guard no matter how hard Henry tried to make her happy.
"Is this karma for me?" Henry wondered. "I threw those words cheaply in the past to many women I don’t like. But now I can’t even get Kate to reciprocate my feelings."
Henry wanted to laugh at himself.
He knew that he was being desperate.
He shouldn’t have said those words just now, but he couldn’t help it.
There was this itchiness in his heart, telling him to say it with the hope that Kate would say the same words casually as if they were an old married couple.
"I guess that means I still have to work harder so she will accept me," Henry said. "Maybe she’ll finally trust me after I kicked Erin out of her life, and helped her to get a fair divorce from her deadbeat husband."
He knew in the corner of his mind that he still had many problems and a mission to deal with, and it might endanger Kate’s life if he continued to pursue a relationship with her.
