Reborn on Wedding Night: Flirting the Cold Bigshot into Blushes-Chapter 398: Nancy Allen, Don’t Be Afraid, I’ll Let You Go

Chapter 398: Chapter 398: Nancy Allen, Don’t Be Afraid, I’ll Let You Go

After Nancy Allen lay down to rest.

Julius Shaw went to the study, sat alone for a long while, and took out the Ruby earrings from his pocket, staring at them with a complex expression.

...

Nancy Allen lay in bed for a long time.

When Julius Shaw called Basil Smith back and started contacting Ian Bailey, she got up and went downstairs.

Downstairs in the hall were Julius Shaw, Basil Smith, and Emma Lewis.

Looking at the serious expressions of everyone in the hall, Nancy smiled and said, "Don’t worry, everyone. I’m okay."

Emma Lewis had long wanted to go upstairs to see Nancy but held back, afraid of disturbing her rest. She hurried over, supporting Nancy and asked nervously, "Nancy, are you really okay? How come you’re suddenly vomiting again, even though you’ve been fine all this time?"

Nancy shook her head: "Maybe I just caught a chill yesterday, my stomach was cold."

Emma immediately complained to Julius Shaw: "How are you taking care of her? How could you let her catch a cold, don’t you know she..."

Nancy interrupted Emma: "Emma, I’m really fine. I’m hungry and want to eat something."

Hearing that Nancy was hungry, Emma immediately stopped complaining to Julius Shaw and said, "Hungry? Quick, prepare food. Let’s eat first and talk later."

Joyce responded and quickly went into the kitchen.

He brought out some food, which was obviously prepared in advance.

He didn’t serve it at the dining table but brought it to the coffee table in front of Julius Shaw.

For the past few days, it was Julius Shaw who had been responsible for Nancy’s meals.

Julius Shaw lowered his head slightly without saying a word, lost in thought.

Nancy proactively walked over to Julius Shaw and naturally sat beside him.

Julius Shaw’s hand, gently turning his ring, paused.

Joyce bent over and said, "Young Madam, I’ve prepared some appetizers. Let me know if you’d like anything else, and I’ll make it right away."

Nancy replied calmly, "This is enough. Thank you, Joyce."

Joyce quickly waved his hand: "It’s no trouble, no trouble."

Nancy and Julius Shaw both reached out almost simultaneously for the bowl and chopsticks.

Nancy’s expression froze slightly, she took a deep breath and withdrew her hand.

Julius Shaw picked up the bowl and fed Nancy as he usually did.

Nancy remained calm, eating obediently.

Everything seemed normal; this time, Nancy didn’t throw up, but she didn’t eat much.

Everyone felt like it was a false alarm.

Seeing that Nancy was indeed okay, Emma finally relaxed a bit: "Nancy, you scared me to death. It’s good you’re alright. If anything happens, you have to tell me, promise me you’ll call me."

Nancy replied gently, "Hmm, I’m fine. You’re so busy; you should get going."

Emma ruffled her slightly messy hair and nodded: "Yes, things are indeed a bit overwhelming lately. I’ll head off then."

Nancy got up to see Emma out. At the gate of Imperial Garden, Nancy whispered to Emma: "Take care of Sophie and the others. I haven’t been feeling well lately, so I haven’t visited them."

Emma recalled how Julius Shaw had previously threatened Nancy with Sophie and reassured her: "Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of them. I’ll call Sophie every day to ensure she’s alright."

Nancy nodded.

Emma left.

Basil Smith also had to go to work at the company.

Imperial Garden was the same as always.

Only Luna Summer, the personal bodyguard, felt something was off.

Taking advantage of the Second Young Master’s absence, Luna approached cautiously and asked worriedly, "Young Madam, is there something bothering you?"

Nancy shook her head.

Not giving up, Luna continued, "If you have any troubles, tell me. I can do anything for you. Our boss said I’m responsible for protecting you, and no one is allowed to hurt you, including the master..."

Nancy’s eyes shifted, as if she wanted to say something.

The next moment, the door opened, and Julius Shaw entered.

Nancy closed her mouth, and Luna, upon seeing the Second Young Master, scurried away like a mouse seeing a cat.

Nancy didn’t want to be alone with Julius Shaw at all.

She got up and walked out.

Julius Shaw asked, "Where are you going?"

Unable to stay calm, Nancy replied with icy words: "I ate too much and need a walk to digest it. Don’t worry, I won’t leave Imperial Garden."

Julius Shaw was silent, then nodded slightly.

Nancy walked out of the room. With Julius Shaw not forcing himself to follow, the suffocating pressure on her eased, allowing her to breathe normally.

Nancy walked out of the villa and sat on the hanging chair that Godfery Shaw had set up in the garden, looking at the distant sunset in a daze.

She knew Julius Shaw was an extreme madman capable of anything.

Nancy no longer saw herself as a savior. She once thought that agreeing to live with Julius Shaw and guiding him well would improve his mental state.

But the truth proved she wasn’t a savior. She couldn’t even save herself, so how could she save someone else?

She knew everything could stay peacefully calm if she resigned herself to being locked here like a canary.

But she couldn’t do it.

At this moment, all she wanted was to escape.

To get far away from Julius Shaw. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

She didn’t want to see Julius Shaw again; every time she saw that mask on his face, she would think of Godfery Shaw.

Remembering her time with Godfery Shaw made her feel sick about herself now.

After that day, she didn’t know where Godfery had gone.

This was clearly Godfery Shaw’s Imperial Garden; this was Riverwood City where he had lived for so many years, and now because of her, Godfery had left.

Nancy clenched her fists tightly.

She couldn’t stay here; she had to leave.

In fact, after that incident, Nancy seriously considered that if the person who had forced her was a stranger, she would be angry, would seek revenge, and would face it together with Godfery Shaw. Godfery was willing to die with her, why would he care if she was tainted or not.

But it couldn’t be Julius Shaw.

Because it would be the greatest insult to Godfery Shaw.

Nancy stared blankly at the sunset. After coming to her senses, she seemed to have lost her spirit. Under her seemingly calm gaze, there was a dead silence.

Nancy thought she hid it well.

But with all of Julius Shaw’s attention on her, how could he not notice her abnormality?

Julius Shaw guessed it.

He guessed that Nancy had come to her senses and knew who he was.

His first reaction was to confine her in Imperial Garden and not let her leave.

But Nancy’s vomiting made him afraid to do so.

Julius Shaw knew that if he did, Nancy would truly die.

He could accompany her in death.

But he couldn’t stop her from living...

He also saw Nancy’s desire to escape.

So he... gave her the chance to escape, to leave Imperial Garden.

Julius Shaw was in the study, handcuffing his left hand again to the old scars with cold handcuffs, the pain cutting into his heart.

Nancy, don’t be afraid, I will set you free.
