Chapter 386
"I won’t allow that," Henry stated firmly.
"Why not?" Kate asked. "I haven’t contributed anything to our relationship. I think I should have my fair share of burden, right?"
"And I won’t allow it!" Henry raised his voice. He lowered his head and kissed Kate on the lips. It was gentle at first, but it became heavier and more possessive as he hugged her even tighter.
Henry finally let go of Kate’s lips once Kate began to struggle to get some air.
"W—What has gotten into you?!" Kate yelled while she tried to inhale deeply. Her face was red. She was caught off guard by Henry’s sudden kiss.
"I’m sorry, Kitty. But I... I can’t allow you to pay for anything," Henry said. "It’s a matter of pride!"
"Pride?" Kate frowned. "Did your pride get hurt because I wanted to pay?"
"Obviously!" Henry nodded. "I want to prove myself worthy to you. I want to be your man, and naturally, I want to make sure you don’t need to do anything!"
"But my contribution—"
"My God, Katherine, you’re carrying our baby. You are my anchor in life! You’ve contributed enough for me!" Henry insisted. "So please, don’t embarrass me any further. Giving you a comfortable life is the least I could do for all the things you’ve done for me."
"I am your man. I’m responsible for your safety and everything else," Henry said. "Just sit back and relax, okay?"
