Kate and Henry went inside a car with Michael as the driver and Mai sitting next to him. Their suitcases were in a different car with Dahlia’s subordinate, Dahlia insisted that half of her n needed to follow them to New York for a just in case situation.
Dahlia stood at the main door, staring at Kate and Henry’s car that was about to leave. She didn’t want to admit it, but she felt sad knowing she’d be all alone again, just like when she was in the ntal hospital.
She had grown really fond of Kate. She was truly a perfect daughter-in-law.
Katherine was attentive, smart, and polite without any hint of mockery underneath. Unlike Sarah, Kate was genuinely a good wife material.
On top of that, Katherine could hold any conversation with Dahlia. A big plus because Sarah seed to only show interest when Dahlia talked about high society social gatherings and business.
’Maybe one day, when everything has been settled, with Marlon and Sarah gone, we can finally live in one big mansion together,’ Dahlia imagined a good life where she could play with her grandchildren.
Yes, grandchildren, not just one.
She just knew if Henry and Kate ended up together, they would have many children. She based her prediction on how wild the noise Kate and Henry made when they had sex last night.
She couldn’t help but smile, ’Well, I’ve always wanted to have a lot of grandchildren.’

"So, everything’s ready, right?" Henry asked Michael to make sure.
"Yes, Sir. Hawthorne’s subordinates will drive this car from the airport straight to New York. Madam Hawthorne said the subordinates will find their own housing near the apartnt building we lived in, so they will be ready to protect Kate if there is an ergency," Michael replied. He intentionally used Madam Hawthorne instead of Grant because Dahlia claid she wasn’t part of the Grant family anymore.
"Henry, are you sure it’s safe for us to go on a flight?" Kate asked. "I’m worried Marlon’s n might be in there."
"Don’t worry about that. I’ve cleared everything before I bring you to the airport," Henry replied to calm her down. "Marlon may have a lot of influence in California. But he is not all-powerful. He has no contact in Michigan, and his search scope in New York is limited."
"R—Really?" Kate rembered the scary pervert who had ambushed her before. It was so traumatic that she beca anxious whenever she rembered about Marlon.
"Trust ," Henry said while holding her hand. "Take a deep breath and relax, Kitty. I am here with you. I won’t let you get hurt."
Kate followed Henry’s instructions. She took a deep breath and relaxed.
"Okay, let’s go then. I’m ready to start a new life in New York," Kate said. She looked at Henry as if she was clinging her hope to him. "I’m ready to start a new life with you, Henry."

The flight from Michigan to New York only took one and a half hours, and it took two hours for them to reach their new apartnt.
Kate stayed silent the whole ti as she entered the private elevator with Henry, going straight to the highest floor.
As they walked out of the elevator, she realized she would live in a penthouse. Thus, Kate couldn’t help but comnt, "Wait, I thought we would live on the sa floor as Mai and Michael."
"Oh, they are living three floors under," Henry said. He grabbed Kate’s waist and unlocked the penthouse door with his other hand.
Henry grabbed the door handle and smiled at Kate before he opened it, "And we will live in this penthouse, for now."
Henry pushed the door open, giving Kate a full view of the luxurious penthouse they would live in.
"Wow—this is amazing," Kate murmured while looking around the penthouse. She wasn’t exactly a woman who demanded luxury. But she couldn’t help being awed by the penthouse.
It was spacious with all the top-quality build materials and furniture. The penthouse also had a big balcony with downtown New York as view; it was beautiful, and Kate couldn’t wish for more.
But this kind of view, and a penthouse in the middle of New York...
"So, do you like it?" Henry asked. "This is Phoenix Tower, in the heart of New York. It’s a great spot and very safe too, since reaching the penthouse requires an access card, and the security is much better than our previous apartnt."
Henry looked so proud as he listed all the benefits of this penthouse they would live in. It was indeed a big achievent because not many young n could achieve this kind of success.
But Kate was still worried, "Did you buy this penthouse?"
"Oh—well—uh..." Henry looked guilty. "I’m renting it, for now..." Henry thought that Kate wouldn’t like how he needed to rent the penthouse. After all, he bought all of his apartnts in California. Unfortunately, he had drained most of his savings to help expand his new company, so he was left with very little and could not buy this penthouse imdiately. "D—Don’t worry, Love. I’ll purchase this penthouse as soon as possible. I just need more ti."
Kate sighed, "That’s not what I an, Henry. I’m just wondering how much you must pay to rent or buy this luxury. This luxury is unnecessary."
"The cost is nothing compared to your safety!" Henry claid, not wanting his beloved to worry. "Don’t worry about this, Kitty. This penthouse is just pocket change for ."
"... if it’s just pocket change, you would’ve bought it, not renting it," Kate said. "Just tell how much you have to pay for it. I will cover the cost per month. I have enough savings in as well."
Henry’s eyes widened when Kate offered to pay the monthly rental fee. He was hurt, but not because he got offended.
But because he felt so useless.
Henry wrapped his hands around Kate’s waist and pulled her closer. He stared at Kate, who didn’t seem to mind spending so much money just for them to live.
"I won’t allow that," Henry stated firmly.
