Chapter 72: Where’s the Nagging?

A brief awkwardness settled between them.

Not wanting it to linger, he quickly added, “Let me help you pack.” Nnenna caught the flicker of uncertainty in his eyes and smiled at him, not out of politeness, but appreciation.

She had never owned much, neither in the hospital nor at the so called “home” waiting for her.

The housekeeper frowned slightly.

She reached out to press the button, then froze.
