Reborn on Wedding Night: Flirting the Cold Bigshot into Blushes-Chapter 285: Emily Allen’s Indifference

Usually, Nancy spoke to Godfery Shaw this way, which had previously scared the bodyguards quite a bit, and the Allens weren’t much better off.

A delicate flower openly teasing the great demon king.

Even though everyone called him little Shaw, they really didn’t dare to be too rude or too close to Godfery Shaw.

Just then, the maid outside called out, "Ma’am, young master Emily Allen is back."

Emily came back from school with his backpack on, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Nancy. His eyes flickered slightly, but he kept a cold expression and didn’t approach.

Because of Nancy’s accident back then, Emily, who didn’t talk much to begin with, became even less willing to speak.

Clara Goodman broke the silence: "Alright, now that Emily is back too, let’s eat first, we can chat after eating."

There were too many people, so they divided into two tables for dinner.

Naturally, uncles and uncles were at one table.

Nancy’s family and Godfery Shaw were at another table.

Then, the usually silent Edward Allen suddenly stepped forward and pulled Nancy away from Godfery Shaw’s side, placing her next to Emily, and said righteously, "Emily hasn’t seen his aunt in a long time, Nancy should sit next to him."

Godfery Shaw raised an eyebrow.

Nancy, however, nodded.

She felt she owed Emily.

When she first woke up, she always wanted to reach out and understand Emily more, but Emily didn’t want to get close, and even became more distant after Nancy woke up, coldly applying to study as a boarding student.

Nancy felt helpless and thought she’d ease into it, so when she felt a bit better, she went to Riverwood City.

Emily didn’t say anything.

Edward Allen sat on Nancy’s other side, deliberately preventing Godfery Shaw from sitting next to Nancy.

Godfery Shaw sat between Mr. Allen and Mrs. Allen.

Everyone’s attention was on Godfery Shaw, after all, today’s meeting was arranged for him.

Nancy’s eyesight was blurry, and she couldn’t speak, so it was inconvenient to pick up dishes. She simply ate plain rice.

Sitting on Nancy’s left, Edward Allen listened to the smooth conversation between Godfery Shaw and the parents, seeing smiles appear on their faces. Edward Allen felt like his whole army was defeated, leaving only him, eating with a thief-guarding expression, naturally not noticing Nancy beside him.

Nancy wasn’t annoyed, having eaten something earlier and feeling a bit full, she quietly ate her plain rice.

But Emily couldn’t help but glance at Nancy from the side.

Emily’s feelings towards Nancy were complicated. He once regarded her as his only support, but Nancy left him.

He didn’t want to trust her like before, but also didn’t want to see her living poorly.

Emily discontentedly shot a look at Godfery Shaw over there.

Godfery Shaw met Emily’s gaze.

Since many years ago when Emily secretly let Godfery Shaw into the house every night to guard Nancy as she slept, there was a tacit understanding between them. At this moment, Emily understood. Godfery Shaw wanted him to take care of his aunt.

Emily hesitated internally before picking up the public chopsticks to serve some food.

Suddenly, Nancy found dishes in her plain rice, all her favorites. She paused for a moment, then continued eating.

Mr. Allen and Mrs. Allen were aware of the issues between Emily and his aunt. Seeing Emily taking the initiative to serve food to Nancy, they also felt relieved.

However, in the next moment, Emily suddenly said, "I’m full, I’m going to do my homework, everyone take your time eating."

Emily put down his bowl and chopsticks, ready to leave.

Nancy turned and grabbed Emily’s hand, writing with her right hand: "I’m full too, I’ll go watch Emily do homework."

Everyone’s first reaction was, what homework can you watch if you can’t see?

But having been warned, no one mentioned the fact that Nancy couldn’t see.

Nancy wasn’t completely blind, just saw mostly blurs, but she could distinguish general directions and stairs without exposing herself.

After writing, Nancy stood up, holding Emily’s hand and walking.

Emily intended to shake off Nancy’s hand, but her eyes couldn’t see. If he let go, she’d surely fall.

Emily led her upstairs with a sullen face, and Nancy followed him upstairs.

Emily seemed determined to ignore Nancy. Upon arriving upstairs, he went straight to his desk to start on his homework.

Nancy sat to the side. After a long time, she silently whispered, "Emily."

The room was too quiet. Emily and Nancy sat very close, and although Nancy didn’t speak loudly, Emily could hear clearly.

The pen paused on the paper, then continued writing.

"I’m sorry."

The sound of the fountain pen scratching the paper stopped.

After a while, Emily finally spoke, "You have nothing to apologize for. I was never your responsibility."

"Back then..."

"I don’t want to talk about the past anymore. I’m fine now; you don’t need to worry about me. You can go, I need to do my homework."

Nancy lowered her head.

When she first saw Emily, he had suffered years of abuse, slightly autistic, lacking a sense of security. So young, yet he would take the initiative to care for others because he wanted to feel needed.

When Nancy went to her deathbed, she knew Emily would be sad, but she had no choice.

Carrying too much burden, she couldn’t find a way to live on, but these things couldn’t be explained.

Nancy stood up dejectedly, attempting to find her way out of the room but accidentally kicked something on the floor.

"What are you doing!" Emily shouted.

Emily ran over, pushing Nancy, and she fell straight down.

Emily froze.

Nancy silently said, "I’m sorry."

Emily suddenly felt very irritable, pulling Nancy up and loudly saying, "I told you I don’t need your apology, go downstairs to your family’s joy, don’t care about me, I have nothing to do with you!"

Emily grabbed Nancy, took her downstairs, and then turned, heading back to his room.

Emily returned to his room and squatted by the fallen flowerpot.

The pot was old, holding wilting orchids.

It was actually the plant from Nancy’s home back in Riverwood City.

The orchid had wilted recently; Emily wondered if it was because it was too sunny, and so moved it back to his room.

The pot wasn’t broken, and Emily put the scattered soil back into the pot, staring at it for a long time.

Often, the more one insists on disconnection, the deeper they actually care.

Nancy was downstairs, a little sad, feeling even more heartache for Emily.

Physical injuries heal easily; the ones carved into another’s heart are hard to erase.

Take it slow, try bringing Sophie Allen next time.

Sophie was so likable, Emily would surely like her.

Godfery Shaw saw Nancy come downstairs and got up to walk to her side.

Nancy, feeling upset, said to Godfery Shaw, "What should I do, I’ve hurt Emily."

Godfery Shaw gently rubbed Nancy’s head: "Don’t worry, we’ll figure out a way to make up for it together."

Mr. and Mrs. Allen only saw the two of them very close, feeling that what’s done is done, they had no choice but to accept him as a son-in-law.

Godfery Shaw and Nancy stayed over for the night.

Nancy initially wanted to stay with Godfery Shaw.

Edward Allen, ever the third wheel, spoke up again: "Tonight, I’ll stay with Godfery Shaw, I want to have a long chat with my brother-in-law."

The way Edward Allen emphasized ’brother-in-law’ was very pronounced.
