Chapter 24 Images of Catherine
“Yes, I want to be that bastard’s father.” Harry put his phone aside. A faint, cold smile played on his lips.
Jeremy laughed coldly. “Fine. As soon as you finalize the divorce with Catherine, I’ll make sure the child calls you Dad.”
“Then, we’ll wait until the child can say the word ‘Daddy’ before Catherine and I get the divorce certificate.” Harry hung up and tossed his phone aside.
He scoffed, crossing his hands behind his head. Did Jeremy think he could provoke him with this? Did he really think he was that stupid?
Jeremy stared at his phone after the call ended, and his expression turned grim. It seemed he’d have to work through Michelle instead.
He scrolled through his contacts and dialed her number. “Ms. Stone, let’s talk.

Not long after Harry ended his call, his phone rang again. It was Michelle. He composed himself before answering. “What’s wrong?”
“I had a nightmare and I’m scared. Can you come keep me company?” Michelle’s voice was
soft and vulnerable. She knew men liked this type of woman.
Harry looked at his face. It was marked with a clear handprint. He was in no state to be seen by
anyone,
least of all Michelle. “I have some things to handle. I’ll come over after.”
Michelle couldn’t hide her disappointment. “Can I come see you instead?”
“In a couple of days,” Harry replied, not wanting anyone to see that he’d been slapped.
Michelle bit her lip, forcing a smile. “Alright then.”
“Get some rest.” Harry put down his phone and repeatedly looked at the pregnancy report Adrian had sent.
He remembered sleeping with Catherine 35 days ago. They had always used protection. In their two years of marriage, he had never once considered having a child with her.
Except for during her cycle, their physical encounters had been frequent. It was the one area where they had an unspoken understanding amidst their otherwise silent marriage. He loved the sounds she made when they were together. He loved the sight of her face flushed with

The memory of her words, “how I rode you”, surfaced in his mind.

Harry’s throat tightened, and heat pooled low in his abdomen. When he closed his could almost feel the phantom sensation of their intimacy, the way her body would respond to him completely.
A low sound escaped him. His body ached with want.
With rough movements, he dealt with his physical need. His mind was filled with images of Catherine. His actions were urgent and desperate, as if reliving their most intense moments together.
But the thought that she had left his bed only to go to Jeremy’s sent fury through him. Had he not been enough for her?
Desire mixed with rage and possessive need built to a violent peak. With a suppressed groan, he found his release.
The room fell silent except for his heavy breathing. Slumped in his chair with his chest heaving, Harry stared at the evidence of his weakness. His expression was dark with self- disgust.
He was completely losing control. Here he was being so obsessed with thoughts of Catherine!
Frustrated, he threw his phone aside and drank deeply from his glass to suppress the turbulent emotions. Catherine meant nothing to him. He didn’t love her.
Meanwhile, when Catherine learned that Harry would wait until the child was born to get the divorce certificate, she silently gripped her cup tighter.
What if Harry later suspected the child was his and wanted a paternity test? Would he still let her keep the child?
Noticing Catherine’s anxious mood, Jeremy comforted her. “If you’re worried, we can go abroad to have the baby where Harry can’t find you.”
Catherine nodded. Her mind was racing. It was still early in the pregnancy. Her priority was keeping the baby safe. She’d been bleeding more frequently these days.
