Reborn on Wedding Night: Flirting the Cold Bigshot into Blushes-Chapter 338: If I Disappeared, Would You Be Sad?
After Nancy Allen asked this question, she lowered her head, not daring to look at Godfery Shaw.
She didn’t know what Godfery Shaw was thinking, only feeling that time was dragging at this moment, each second stretching long.
It felt like a long time had passed, but in reality, just a few seconds, when Godfery Shaw seemingly casually said, "Alright, it’s in the room, I’ll go get it for you."
Godfery Shaw walked forward and entered his room.
Only after Godfery Shaw was out of sight did Nancy Allen let out a long breath.
Even before she finished that breath, Godfery Shaw came out holding the jewelry box.
Nancy Allen instinctively held her breath.
Godfery Shaw, holding the jewelry box, walked up to Nancy Allen, looked into her eyes, and asked, "Nancy, if one day I disappeared, would you be sad?"
Nancy Allen suddenly became nervous, instinctively asking, "What... what did you say?"
Godfery Shaw suddenly chuckled, reached out to ruffle Nancy Allen’s hair, and handed her the jewelry box, saying, "Don’t be nervous, just joking, Nancy, rest early."
Nancy Allen looked at Godfery Shaw with worried eyes, feeling something was off.
Godfery Shaw gently nudged her shoulder, "Alright, hurry back to your room, or are you saying you want to stay with me?"
At this moment, Nancy Allen was truly worried about Godfery Shaw and almost wanted to say she’d stay with him.
But thinking that Julius Shaw might appear tonight, and if Godfery Shaw and Julius Shaw met, there might be a conflict and someone might get hurt, something she absolutely did not want to see.
Nancy Allen said seriously and sternly, "If you disappeared, I’d be very sad, extremely sad."
Godfery Shaw’s smile seemed a bit more genuine.
Nancy Allen looked back at each step as she returned to her own room.
This room hadn’t been occupied for a long time, it’s the master bedroom in the Imperial Garden, all newly renovated in pink, completely different from the style of the entire Imperial Garden.
After Nancy Allen returned to the room, she sat with a sullen face, unconsciously clutching the jewelry box in her hand.
Godfery Shaw must have known, known what Julius Shaw thought of her, which was why he would ask such questions.
Her indecisiveness, knowing there were problems but ignoring them, would only lead to more severe consequences over time.
Once Emma Lewis gets married, she must decisively resolve these matters afterward.
After contemplating for a long time, Nancy Allen took a bath and then sat on the sofa.
She didn’t go to bed because, without surprise, Julius Shaw would come to take the hand string tonight, and she didn’t want to encounter Julius Shaw in the bed; that kind of ambiguity made her uneasy.
Night had already fallen, with secrets hidden beneath the darkness that no one knew about.
As the night grew darker, Nancy Allen yawned, leaning against the sofa with her eyes slightly closed.
The next moment, she heard the sound of a lock turning, her drowsy eyes instantly becoming alert.
The door opened, and Julius Shaw came in.
Seeing Nancy Allen on the sofa, he smiled with a wicked charm, "Nancy, are you waiting for me?"
Nancy Allen did not respond, instead, handing the jewelry box on the table to Julius Shaw.
Julius Shaw seemed very expectant, taking the jewelry box and opening it. After seeing the words engraved on the hand string, his smile, though usually wicked, clearly showed happiness.
He rubbed the place where words were engraved on the hand string, murmuring softly, "Health and peace."
At that moment, Julius Shaw was very serene; he had finally obtained something that proved his existence, was no longer a shadow, no longer a mere appendage to his brother, no longer that crazy persona hiding forever in the dark, but an equal soul, and this hand string belonged solely to him.
Godfery Shaw, holding this hand string, suddenly squatted down, his eyes gradually reddening.
He looked so pitiful, like a beggar with nothing suddenly acquiring the most precious thing.
Nancy Allen’s defenses and vigilance crumbled instantly, she couldn’t harden her heart towards this Julius Shaw.
After a long time, Julius Shaw, holding the hand string tightly, looked up at Nancy Allen with reddened eyes and then smiled.
It was no longer that wicked, unstable smile, but a genuinely happy one.
He looked at Nancy Allen with a smile, then seriously said, "Thank you, Nancy. You are the only one who gives me gifts."
Nancy felt she couldn’t muster any anger anymore.
She felt Julius Shaw was really pitiful.
For five years in her previous life, Julius Shaw never appeared in the sunlight under his name due to his mental issues, he could only be confined, only hide, and occasionally protect and help her by using the identity of Godfery Shaw. No one cared about him, naturally, no one would gift him anything.
She even fearfully realized that facing both Godfery Shaw and Julius Shaw was perhaps not a matter of simple choice.
If she chose Godfery Shaw, Julius Shaw might die, might be forgotten by everyone, never cared for again.
If she chose Julius Shaw, Godfery Shaw, being so strong, might be fine?
She wasn’t worthy of anyone; she only hoped both brothers could be well.
Today’s Julius Shaw was particularly serene, putting away the hand string, saying, "It’s so late, Nancy, you should sleep now."
Nancy Allen didn’t move.
Julius Shaw continued, "Nancy, don’t worry, I won’t do anything, I’ll just wait here until you fall asleep before I leave."
Perhaps Julius Shaw was too serene, so serenely it seemed pitiful, Nancy Allen didn’t refuse anymore.
She silently climbed into bed, covering herself tightly under the blanket, she could feel Julius Shaw’s gaze, as if he was staring at her without blinking.
Nancy thought in such a gaze, she wouldn’t be able to sleep.
Yet, soon, she fell asleep.
Julius Shaw, too, was someone Nancy could truly trust!
To others, Julius Shaw might not be important; even to Godfery Shaw, he was merely another out-of-control personality he hoped would disappear, but to Nancy, it was different.
Five years in the previous life, five years was too long a time.
The one who, under the name Godfery Shaw, with a violent and fierce manner protected her, was Julius Shaw.
In the previous life, she couldn’t understand why Godfery Shaw’s personality would sometimes be indifferent and distant, and other times full of hostility.
Now she understood, that person was Julius Shaw.
After seeing her asleep, Julius Shaw walked over, stood by Nancy’s side for a while, and bent down to touch her earlobe before, as promised, silently leaving.
The next day.
Upon waking, Nancy Allen immediately scanned the room.
Seeing no one, she got out of bed.
Nothing really happened last night, Julius Shaw just took the hand string and left.
While washing up, Nancy Allen stared blankly at the reflection in the mirror.
The earrings on her earlobe had changed from emeralds to pink diamonds.
Looking at the dazzling pink diamonds, suddenly, it was as if Nancy understood something.
These earrings seemed like Julius Shaw forcibly marking his territory, claiming a part of her.
This part didn’t belong to Godfery Shaw, it was his.
Nancy Allen sighed, shaking her head to dispel the thoughts from her mind.
Today she had to continue with her model work, tomorrow was Emma Lewis’s wedding, and she decided to put aside these matters for now.
After washing up, Nancy Allen changed her clothes and went downstairs.
Master Fan was already waiting at the modeling desk.
Godfery Shaw was also waiting for her.
Seeing her arrive, Godfery Shaw waved at her, "Nancy, come over quickly, breakfast is all your favorite dishes today."
Her steps paused for a moment, then she continued walking towards Godfery Shaw.
Godfery Shaw sat there, gently waving at her.
She walked step by step towards him, yet the pink diamonds gently swaying on her earlobe felt like a desecration to Godfery Shaw.
