"But I am the other woman," Kate said. "You were engaged with that woman when you did it with . You showered with love until I was intoxicated, thinking that you were in love with ."
"You said that I am your only one and you’d marry as soon as possible," Kate said. "You said so many sweet words from your lips and fooled up until this point."
"B—But the engagent is all just a facade!" Henry said. "My father, he—he is a crazy old man with so much ego. He wants to marry a noble lady so it will continue our family legacy as a noble family from long ago. I was never in love with her, and she was never in love with ."
Henry rembered what Sarah had done to seduce him. He was disgusted, but at the sa ti, he was thankful for what she was doing because it was a wake-up call.
Now he realized that he couldn’t trust Sarah.
There was no way he’d trust a woman who lusted over after telling herself that she liked Jas more than him.
"Did you exchange an engagent ring with her?" Kate asked, still turning her back against Henry. She held back her tears as she knew she had been unreasonable.
Her logic told her that it wasn’t Henry’s fault because he was being forced into the engagent.
But her heart was hurting so bad that no logic could rationalize the pain.
She was the other woman, end of the story.
Henry fell into another silence, knowing Kate checkmated him.
Indeed, he exchanged an engagent ring with Sarah, but he only used it in front of his parents, so they were still convinced that they were still engaged and in a good relationship.
"You did, right? You have a ring for her," Kate sneered. She held her tears because she didn’t want to look pathetic. "You make a mistress, Henry. All this ti, I’ve always thought that I am a high-valued lady, earn my own money, and try my best to steer clear from unnecessary relationships, especially love."
"But you brought a new passion to ," Kate said with a shaky voice. "You make dream that we are ant to be together, and you see for my quality."
"But you turned into a mistress. I am nothing but a kept woman you fucked and knocked up because you aren’t in love with your soon-to-be real wife," Kate said.
"Kitty..."
Henry wanted to touch her shoulder, but she quickly brushed it off and said, "We’re done, Henry. I refused to be a howrecker and a mistress. I’m not a trash woman... that’s what I believed before you completely fooled ."
"I will leave your apartnt tomorrow morning. But if you want to leave now..." Kate was about to get up from the bed, but Henry pulled her back, ensuring she stayed.
"Don’t do this, Kate. This is our ho. You’re supposed to stay here," Henry said.
"As your mistress? No, I refuse," Kate said. "I will never be a kept woman, no matter what. What."
"N—No! You’re mistaken!" Henry thought he could speak slowly with Kate, allowing her to let the information sink in before he continued.
But seeing Kate’s reaction, he decided to co clean as soon as possible.
"Look, I went to her today and officially annulled the engagent. We are no longer engaged and are free to do whatever we want according to our wishes, and I wish to marry you, Katherine," Henry said, wishing this would be enough to make her feel at peace in his heart.
...
"I... I never touched her during our entire engagent, and I’ve never touched another woman after getting with you. You are truly the only one."
...
"P—Please understand, Kate. I was stuck in a hard place. I was under enormous pressure, and after Jas’ death, I lost my track," Henry said. "I don’t know what am I doing, I—"
"So you don’t know you are getting engaged with another woman after knocking up with a baby?" Kate sneered. "Oh, Henry, I really want to trust you but can’t. This is too much for ."
"But you promised that you’d accept no matter what..." Henry began to panic after realizing that Kate was about to slip from his grasp. He was so scared that he began hugging her even tighter. "Please, I am doing this for you. I do everything because I want to be with you..."
...
Kate realized that he was right.
She promised she would accept him no matter what, as long as it didn’t harm her and their baby.
And by all ant, he claid that he had annulled the engagent of convenience. So, nothing else could stop them from getting a blessing from Dahlia.
But she still had one question left for that.
"Who was your ex-fiancee? Did she accept the annulnt? Is she okay with it?" Kate asked. "I don’t want to be a woman that hurts other won and steals her man."
"Her na is Sarah, and it’s... an engagent of convenience," Henry replied. "We were childhood friends and got engaged because of family pressure. I wasn’t thinking clearly at that ti. All I wanted was to appease my father and stop him from pestering ."
"Sarah and I decided to put everything as a re official title, but we are finding love outside the arrangent. We’ve promised to break off the engagent once we found our loved ones, and I found you. That’s why I broke the engagent this noon after visiting the ntal hospital with you."
"So you don’t need to worry, Love. I am free from any entanglent now. I am yours completely."
"You haven’t answered my other question, Henry," Kate wasn’t appeased yet, knowing Henry was hiding many things from her. "How about your fiancee? Did she accept the annulnt without any protest? I doubt she will let you run free so easily, especially with the family status between you two."
