He Stole Me From My Deadbeat Husband Chapter 304

"He has his own money, but I still did. It’ll be his Christmas present this year," Jas replied. "He’s already twenty-three years old and is still being spoiled by the family. I’m afraid he’ll have a hard ti when he starts working later."

Kate could imagine what hell would be unleashed by that spoiled brat by the ti he entered his father’s company.

"I hope he won’t work in Emperor Publishing," Kate murmured slowly, but Jas could hear it, and he laughed again.

"Now that I think about it, maybe I should let him work as an intern in our company later. He’ll learn a lot from you since you’re not as rciful," Jas said.

"That’s too much of a hassle, Sir. You know we’re swamped by so much work," Kate said, trying to save herself from the headache.

Jas was in a great mood as he kept on teasing Kate. He never said it, but he found Kate adorable when she was being honest to a fault.

"You’re too honest. My little brother will cry if he has to face you," Jas said.

Kate chuckled, "Well, I guess I can discipline him with an iron hand."

The atmosphere around them beca warr as they stared at each other. It had been a while since they had such intense yet warm monts together.

They had been so swamped with work for months that their faces were glued to the computer screen for hours daily.

Kate would lie if she said that she wasn’t attracted to Jas.

He was a stable, mature man who was dedicated to his job. He was also kind towards his staff, sotis too kind that Kate had to be the one reprimanding the staff who made mistakes.

He was also handso. Of course, Kate was still a normal woman who liked to see eye candy, as long as that eye candy wasn’t a lazy, useless, deadbeat husband.

"Katherine, have you ever thought of your life if you haven’t married your deadbeat husband?" Jas asked while staring at Kate with eyes filled with hope and expectation.

Kate briefly thought about it and nodded, "I’d dedicate my life to work and stay single. Maybe I’ll find a man while at work, but I won’t bet my luck since I have the worst luck ever, and for a woman like , my choice is limited to idiots who’d date an ugly career woman."

Kate said it half-jokingly, self-deprecating herself because she knew she wasn’t beautiful. She just looked decent at best, though with how many docunts piled up on her desk, she didn’t even care for her appearance.

Jas smiled, "I guess that ans I’m an idiot. But that’s fine because..." Henry leaned until his chin rested on Kate’s shoulder and then whispered. "Because this idiot thinks you are the most beautiful woman in his life. You shouldn’t make fun of yourself, especially when it’s not true, gorgeous."

—Flashback end—

Kate had a thin smile as she rembered Jas.

Now that she thought about it, he was very obvious about his attraction. He showed it many tis, and Kate wasn’t an idiot. Of course, she knew about his attraction.

But she was married to Matt, and she would never cheat on her married spouse unless he was the one who did it first. Then, the best they could do was to divorce, and she might end up with Jas after that.

’Oh, fate is so cruel for Jas...’

Kate sighed.

There was no point in recalling the past when the man already passed away. But she couldn’t help it.

She was thinking about Henry and how he seed to hide many secrets from her, even though Kate already exposed everything about her in front of him.

’Maybe he doesn’t see as an equal partner. That’s why he doesn’t trust ,’ Kate thought. ’Dahlia definitely hides sothing from as well. Her expression changed drastically when I asked for her blessing, even though she seed to be supportive of my pregnancy.’

She was kept in the dark for so long that she got tired of it. Henry didn’t seem to trust her even if she wanted to help.

"So, um... "What are you doing there, Ma’am?" Mai asked.

Kate glanced at Mai and thought it wouldn’t hurt to tell Mai about it.

"Henry and I visited his Mom."

"Mr. Grant’s mother is in the ntal hospital?"

...

"Yes," Kate replied. "But she’s not crazy. It’s... a long story. I don’t want to get into detail because it’s Henry’s privacy."

"I understand, Ma’am," Mai replied. "Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone about this."

"Thanks, Mai."

"Though, I’m curious about Mr. Grant’s mother," Mai said. "I an, we t with Marlon Grant a few tis in the main office, right? He is tall, and Mr. Henry Grant looks very similar to his father. I wonder what his Mom looks like."

"She looks more like Jas. She has light brown eyes and hair," Kate replied. "She has a kind smile and is also level-headed, just like him."

Mai frowned when Kate described Dahlia’s physical features, "Eh? She’s not a blonde?"

"No."

"That’s weird. Marlon Grant has dark brown hair, so I thought Jas Grant has his father’s hair color, while Henry Grant has his mother’s hair," Mai said. She started theorizing. "Hmm, maybe the bright blonde cos from one of his grandparents? It can be inherited from them..."

Kate’s body stiffened upon the realization.

She was so busy with the whole conversation with Dahlia and the secretive attitude from Henry that she missed such an important detail until Mai called it out.

Mai was right.

Kate saw Marlon Grant many tis in the main company, and he had dark brown hair. Henry looked almost like a perfect copy of his father. The only difference was their hair.

Henry had eye-catching platinum blonde hair that didn’t seem to be dyed because they had been living together for months, and Henry always had that hair color.

’If Marlon and Dahlia have brown hair, how could he get his blond?’
