After sending everyone away, only Hudson and Isabel remained in the room. He would almost forget about such a lady in his house if he hadn't run into her here.
It wasn't that he had a bad memory, but that he was too overwhelmed with recent matters to think about women.
He chose to keep Isabel initially because she was indeed valuable, and also because she was too beautiful to be dispensed with.
Hudson was a normal man. It would be impossible to say he had no thoughts when he encountered a beautiful woman.
However, reason told him that while it was permissible to toy with the woman before his eyes, if he fell in love with her, it would lead to big trouble sooner or later.
Hudson didn't believe that his charm could be so great that a woman who had grown up in the slums would truly fall in love with him.
