Chapter 195
Over the last few days, Henry had been sulking.
Although Moneypenny had voluntarily apologized and admitted to what he did, he had been coerced and actually deserved sympathy.
However, Henry still allowed himself to be talked into splitting up Irene and Isaac’s marriage!
He had wanted someone to take care of Isaac, to give him a woman who can offer him a family
Only for everything to end up a mess!
He did not even want to imagine how Isaac would react once he found out that he and Moneypenny had a hand in his divorce, along with the kidnapping of his son!
What respect and kinship he held would vaporize, would it not?
“Honestly, what should I do now?” It was not as if Henry had gotten senile–Moneypenny had spent of his life serving him and more than proved his loyalty. He was not about to send him to the gallows over one mistake!
“Sir.” Moneypenny bowed reverently then. “Perhaps I should confess to Master Isaac…” “Forget it. Do you think you’d live with that temper of his? And with your withered body?” Henry snorted. “What has happened has happened–let there be no next time.”
“Don’t worry, sir. There won’t be,” Moneypenny promised.
“So, any leads on Irene Spencer?” Henry asked.
He was aware that Irene had been abducted on her way to get married too.
“No, sir. It’s an absolute mystery,” Moneypenny said, shaking his head. “The culprits left no traces at all, and I could not find out who they were at all!”
“Do you think it’s Isaac?” Henry mused.
Moneypenny considered it. “He does have feelings for her, but does he desire her so much that he doesn’t care if she was marrying someone else, and would take her even if it meant crashing a wedding?”
“Indeed. They were married for little over a year, and Irene had been missing for months as well. Even if he loves her, his feelings would not be that strong,” Henry guessed.
“That’s true. You know Master Isaac, and given how rational he can be, he would not get this obsessed over a woman,” Moneypenny concluded.
Henry thought about that a while, and decided that Moneypenny was being reasonable.
He had never seen Isaac resort to outrageous behavior over any woman thus far!
“That said, I find Ms. Spencer a little too headstrong if we want someone who can take care of Master Isaac. Won’t you agree?” Moneypenny said just then.
