Chapter 248
Kate got no answer from Henry, which somewhat annoyed her, "Henry, do you hear me?"
"Hm..." Henry nodded, but he didn’t seem in a good mood.
Henry mentioned a few times how bad his family could be, and she understood that well because she also had a bad family.
’But no matter how bad they are, they won’t do something extreme. Of course, they won’t rip my stomach open and take the baby away, right?’ Kate guessed. "I don’t need your parent’s inheritance money. I have my own, and I am certain I can get another job in case I have to resign from the publishing company."
"I just want recognition. At least let them know they have a grandchild and a soon-to-be daughter-in-law," Kate said. "Simple as that. I won’t ask for anything more."
"... I will think about it," Henry said half-heartedly. He tried to appease Kate, but it didn’t seem to work because Kate could read him easily.
Kate got up from the sofa and said, "Remember, Henry, I’m not your secret mistress, and I don’t want to be treated as such. If you want to marry me, you must be serious about me, including introducing me to your family."
"If you’re not serious about me, then..." Kate paused for a moment. She curled her lips. She felt hurt just by imagining Henry, who didn’t want her. She turned around so Henry didn’t see her dramatic tears. "Then we can just part ways. I never expect you to take responsibility anyway."
Kate stood in silence for a while. She could feel Henry’s eyes staring at her back with such intensity. She wished Henry would hug her, embrace her from behind and kiss her.
