247: Chapter 247

Chapter 247

Kate hung up the call with a feeling of satisfaction in her heart. She was so glad that everything went according to her plan, and thus, she didn't need to worry about Mary for a long time.2

And for Matt?

"Graham said the court has sent a divorce notice to Matt's—I mean, your apartment," Henry said as he put the boiled bitter gourd on the table before sitting next to Kate. He put his hand on her head and gently pushed her to lay on his chest, which Kate liked doing during her pregnancy.

She began to crave Henry's natural masculine scent, and she was 100% sure this must be due to hormones because she never liked anything that didn't have jasmine tea or lavender scent before she got pregnant. 

"That's good," Kate grinned. "Ah, I want to see Matt's face when he got the divorce notice and the news about his mother in jail. Must be epic."

Henry said nothing.

He heard everything on the call between Kate and the Officer just now because Kate put it on loudspeaker. He felt that Kate was being very lenient to those ungrateful leeches.

He could've done something far more heinous than that, but he didn't want to interfere with Kate's joy.

She liked doing things her way, and as long as it didn't clash with his principle and didn't harm her and their baby, he would rather just watch over her silently, ensuring she was safe. 

Though, he had to admit that Kate had gotten even more fascinating in his eyes.

'She is truly a brilliant but cunning woman. She knows what she wants. She is perfectly tailored for me, and I will make sure no man is better suited for her than I am,' Henry thought. 

"Matt has about a week to answer the divorce notice and summon. But I think with his desperation for extra money, he will accept the divorce as soon as possible," Henry mentioned. 

Kate grabbed a boiled bitter gourd and began eating it like the tastiest food on earth. Henry shuddered, seeing her eating the gourd, "Why do you want me to boil a bitter gourd again? Isn't it… well, very bitter?" 

"Hm? Kind of, but I don't think it's THAT bitter," Kate replied. "And I don't know why I suddenly crave this food. I never liked it before. Maybe this is a pregnancy craving?"

"… I googled about pregnancy craving since last month, and most pregnant women crave sweets or something very caloric like pizza," Henry mentioned. "You've been craving many weird things, Kitty. You craved boiled bitter gourd, cold paprika, and extremely sour orange. Are you sure you're okay?" 

Kate shrugged, "Well, I don't know. Ask the baby, or maybe we could ask your Mom. Go ask her what food she craves when she gets pregnant with you back then."

Henry's gaze darkened instantly, and his good mood soured, but he tried not to show it in front of Kate. 

He would meet with his father tomorrow and eventually meet his mother. He hated both of them for what happened to James and preferred not to meet them.

But he had to find a way to save Kate and their baby, so he was going to propose another way to get Marlon's approval without handing Kate's baby to that twisted old man. 

His mother told him to bring Kate so they could meet her in person, but there was no way in hell Henry would ruin his budding love life with Kate.

"I haven't even talked to her for months," Henry lied. "But it's okay. We don't need her opinion. I will just help you with every pregnancy craving you have, okay?"

Kate sighed.

She often brushed up on the topic of family, and it always caused a bad reaction from Henry.

He did not like his family, and it was a problem for Kate.

Unlike her, whose family was nonexistent right now, Henry still had a complete family. So if they wanted to get married, surely they wouldn't exclude Henry's family, right?

"You can't keep ignoring them, Henry," Kate advised. "You're the next heir of your family. You have a lot of responsibility. Besides, I saw Mr. Marlon Grant a few times in the main office, and he looks like a good and upright old man. Reminds me of you, though."

"He reminds you of me? How?!" Henry subconsciously raised his voice, feeling offended when he was compared with a literal monster. 

"Just your face structure. You look like your Dad," Kate said lightly. "And why are you yelling at me? Did I upset you?"

…

Henry said nothing but muttered in the end, "I hate him. Please don't lump me with him."

"Henry…" Kate pushed herself away from him, and he felt at a loss when he couldn't feel Kate's body near him. She sat straight and stared at her boyfriend, "Do you want us to get married?"

"Obviously."

"Then we can't ignore your family," Kate said. "Do you really think we can get married without your family's blessing? I'm not some kind of mistress, Henry. I want to be recognized by your family, and I want them to know about our baby as well. You should introduce me to your family, or you will never put that ring on my finger."

Henry was put on the spot, and he hated it.

He wanted to tell Kate the truth about his family and the heinous plan that his father had, but it was so twisted that it would only scare Kate to death. She might actually run away and leave him alone.

But Kate was right.

His parents only acknowledged Sarah as his fiancée, so if he wanted to marry Kate, he had to introduce him to the family, even if he had to bear all the risks. 

'I will have to talk to them first, making sure that Kate wouldn't get hurt,' Henry tried to remind himself because this involved his beloved and their baby.
