Henry calmed down once Kate told him her reason. But that still didn't give him an ease of heart.
He still felt that Kate deserved the best, even in court. She went through so much, only to get humiliated when she wanted to claim what was hers.
All of those assets were the fruits of her work. She earned them fair and square, and that useless bastard wanted half of it because couldn't move his ass to get a job.
"You're punishing yourself, Kate," Henry said. "You're not dumb. You're just desperate because that bastard manipulated you into thinking that everything is your fault. So was your family. You have nobody to help you."
"But you have me now. You don't need to feel desperate for anything. I will protect you."
