The Cherished Wife (Noelle and Charles) novel Chapter 583

"That's true. Ms. Nancy's condition has been quite severe lately, and although Mr. Clarrise hasn't done anything specific, her attitude toward Ms. Nancy hasn't been very good," James agreed that Henry and Nancy leaving for a while was for the best. "But is it okay for Mr. Henry to take care of Ms. Nancy on his own?"

"You don't need to worry about that. Henry can take care of his own wife just fine," Maxwell replied with a slight smile.

In truth, Henry had been his favored choice for a successor back in the day, but Henry's heart was not in it, and Maxwell had not pushed further. Later on, with Charles's emergence, Maxwell felt reassured.

The car sent by Charles was parked a little distance from the Hoffman residence—close enough for Henry and Nancy not to have to walk too far, but out of sight of the Hoffmans' household.

Ronald and Andrew got out of the car. "Mr. Henry, Ms. Nancy."

They quickly took the luggage. After helping Henry and Nancy get in, they started the car.

Henry's gaze fell on Ronald and Andrew. He knew Ronald, Charles's capable assistant, but the other man seemed unfamiliar. Andrew exuded a strong presence, but it lacked any menacing aura.

Having seen his share of the world, Henry could tell Andrew was skilled in martial arts. It seemed Charles had thought of everything.

"Mr. Henry, Mr. Hoffman is already waiting at Phoenix Tree Residence. How is Ms. Nancy feeling? Mr. Hoffman has arranged for a specialist from abroad to come and see Ms. Nancy, someone who has expertise in her condition," Ronald said.

"Mm," Henry nodded and poured a cup of warm water for Nancy. "Here, have a sip."

Ronald could not help but feel awkward watching Henry's tender care. It seemed he could not escape being the third wheel no matter where he went; he was already used to seeing his boss and Noelle, but he had not expected Henry to be the same at his age.

When they arrived at Phoenix Tree Residence, Ronald led Henry and Nancy inside while Andrew followed, carrying the luggage.
