Chapter 218
Henry calmed down once Kate told him her reason. But that still didn’t give him an ease of heart.
He still felt that Kate deserved the best, even in court. She went through so much, only to get humiliated when she wanted to claim what was hers.
All of those assets were the fruits of her work. She earned them fair and square, and that useless bastard wanted half of it because couldn’t move his ass to get a job.
"You’re punishing yourself, Kate," Henry said. "You’re not dumb. You’re just desperate because that bastard manipulated you into thinking that everything is your fault. So was your family. You have nobody to help you."
"But you have me now. You don’t need to feel desperate for anything. I will protect you."
Kate chuckled. She gently rubbed his chest, which felt like an electrifying sensation that made him blush. He lowered his voice as he didn’t want other tables to know what he was talking about, "W—What are you doing? We’re in public. If you want to do it right now, let’s go back to our apartment or the nearest hotel if you can’t wait anymore."
Kate’s light chuckle turned into a mischievous laugh, "Hihi, I just thought you’re so cute and adorable, Henry."
"H—Huh? Cute and adorable?"
Henry never expected Kate to address those two words for him.
People called him a troublemaker, a monster, a bastard, or the best compliment he could get was handsome or tough.
Never did once anyone, not even his parents, call him cute and adorable.
