Chapter 63: Chapter 63: Secret Admirer
Henry Hudson was completely perplexed.
But he gave a sigh of relief when he heard Sophie Allen was planning on divorcing.
His small gesture did not escape the watchful eyes of Justin Battleson.
The man’s deep dark eyes narrowed, his face darkened.
"Mr. Battleson, thank you again for bringing Charlotte to the hospital," Henry greeted politely once again, then turned his head towards Sophie Allen and asked with concern, "Charlotte, what happened to you? I rushed over directly without first consulting your doctor."
"If you’re so concerned about Sophie Allen, what is the nature of your relationship?"
At this time, a cold voice interrupted Henry’s words.
Henry turned his head to meet Justin’s icy gaze, a chill ran down his spine.
Justin’s aura, as always, was so powerful that it could make anyone retreat in defeat.
Henry coughed lightly, his face flushed slightly, his eyes evasive, and while his voice asserted with an air of justified righteousness, it held a hint of guilt:
"Charlotte is my junior in college, I care about her because we are very good friends."
Justin was very astute, naturally seeing through Henry’s lie at a glance.
Henry, whom he had watched grow up, always had no ill-intentions, obediently following his family’s set path step by step.
Compared to his good friend Oliver Hudson, despite being cousins, their character was entirely different.
However, he also noticed that Henry liked Sophie Allen.
This was something he had not expected.
"Oh, really?"
Justin didn’t raise an eyebrow, only countered with a question.
His mood, inexplicably, feeling somewhat better.
"Of course, my relationship with Charlotte is very good, just like you and my cousin." Henry replied with a smile, his eyes somewhat evasive.
Justin nodded slightly, confirming something in his heart.
Without self-confidence, Henry refused to admit to the truth, which meant that he was only suffering from unrequited love.
Or perhaps, it was a secret love.
Sophie Allen did not like Henry Hudson.
True to form, Sophie Allen’s taste was similar to Ryan Richard, who was indeed different from Henry.
One glance at Ryan Richard and you knew he was a flamboyant playboy, while Henry was a serious straight-taking scholar.
Thinking about this, Justin’s mood turned sour.
How could Sophie Allen’s taste be so bad?
She even liked such a frivolous man!
"Mr. Battleson, I’ve troubled you today, I’ll see you next month at the civil affairs office."
"Take care, no need to see you out."
Sophie Allen didn’t want to lose her temper in front of Henry, or perhaps it’s because she didn’t have the energy to quarrel over this matter.
So, her attitude was very cold, but also very calm.
Seeing her starting to rush people out, Justin’s face suddenly darkened.
However, forcibly staying was not the solution, this woman probably hated him to the core right now.
Not to mention, there was still an Evelyn Curtis between them.
With this thought in mind, Justin chose to leave.
But when he left, he also took Henry with him.
Sophie Allen’s face didn’t look good.
She didn’t know what Justin meant by taking Henry away, was he going to spill everything that had happened between them?
In her eyes, this man was capable of doing such a thing.
...
In the hospital corridor.
"Sophie Allen fainted due to overexertion and lack of proper nutrition. Make sure to remind her to eat and tell her not to overwork herself too much in tending to her adoptive mother."
Justin ordered seriously.
Henry was slightly taken aback, quickly composed himself, and repeatedly nodded in agreement.
Justin turned to leave, but Henry couldn’t help but stop him:
"Mr. Battleson, do you... care a lot about Charlotte?"
