Reborn on Wedding Night: Flirting the Cold Bigshot into Blushes-Chapter 426: He Calls Himself Godfery Shaw

Nancy played with Sophie for a while and chatted with Emily.

She didn’t stay too long at the Ink Manor before returning to the Imperial Garden with Hailey Smith.

She was mainly worried that if she stayed away too long, Julius Shaw might cause some trouble.

When she got back to the Imperial Garden, Nancy saw Julius Shaw reading in the study.

She anxiously checked Julius’s wrist and leg, and only felt relieved when she found no injuries.

Suddenly, Julius reached out and hugged Nancy, saying dully, "I want a portrait too."

Julius has always been someone who never cares about saving face.

If he wants flowers, a portrait, or anything, he will directly ask for it.

Unlike Godfery Shaw, who, no matter what he wants, would only endure it with restraint; if you give it to him, he’d be delighted, if not, he’d never insist.

Nancy softly said in his embrace, "Alright, in a few days it’s your birthday, I’ll paint a portrait for you as a birthday gift."

Julius tightened his hold on Nancy.

In a few days, it will be my brother’s birthday.

And his birthday was the day he first met Nancy as a child.

Julius, with a kind of suppression, said, "Alright."

Nancy smiled and said, "It’s still early today, the strawberries in the orchard are ripe, let’s go pick some."

Julius trembled slightly, for some reason, he was now very afraid of going to the orchard to pick fruits.

Nancy sensed Julius’s stiffness but acted as if she hadn’t noticed, gentle as if she had a heart of stone.

Julius replied, "Alright.

Sometimes, he almost felt like he was his brother.

...

Godfery Shaw hadn’t celebrated his birthday for five years.

This time, he actively sought out Basil Smith.

No one knew what the two discussed.

The next day, Basil began preparing for the birthday banquet.

The Imperial Garden became lively.

For the past five years, Godfery hadn’t celebrated his birthday.

This year, suddenly wanting to hold one, of course, it had to be taken seriously.

Even the whole of Riverwood City became lively, everyone was wondering what gifts to send.

Nancy seemed isolated from all the excitement, staying by herself in the studio these past two days.

She had never painted Julius Shaw, nor ever thought of painting him.

When Nancy picked up the brush, her mind was filled with Godfery’s smile, Godfery’s gentleness, all about Godfery.

But the one who wanted this painting now was Julius Shaw.

Godfery Shaw and Julius Shaw were different, which left her unable to start painting for a long time.

Locked herself in for two days, still unable to start, until the birthday, there was no time left.

Nancy gritted her teeth and began to paint.

As the brush touched the paper, she made an effort not to think of Godfery, forcing herself to think of the current Julius Shaw.

A handsome figure gradually formed on the paper.

When Nancy painted, she was fully immersed.

As the picture gradually became complete, Nancy’s expression grew tender, as if adding the final touches to the eyes of the portrait.

With one stroke, Nancy snapped out of her trance.

The person in the painting looked at her tenderly, as if their eyes contained a repressed, restrained love.

Those were Godfery’s eyes.

Nancy felt a sudden panic.

Then there was a knock on the door: "Young Madam, are you in the studio? The birthday banquet is about to start, it’s time to leave."

Only then did Nancy realize it was already evening, and the birthday banquet was about to begin. She quickly packed up the painting and responded, "I’m coming out now."

Nancy left the studio, seeing everyone waiting in the hall.

Julius Shaw had changed into formal attire.

Basil and Hailey were also dressed sharply.

Emma Lewis was mingling with Basil and Hailey... like three brothers.

Nancy apologized, "I took a bit of time, wait for me a moment, I’ll change quickly and come down."

Basil said, "Young Madam, there’s no need to rush, the stylist is already here and the gown has been brought over, we’ll be a bit late, it’s fine, nobody dares to object." 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Nancy shook her head, "No trouble, there’s a gown in the dressing room upstairs, I can change myself."

Emma chimed in, "How can that be, you’re the main character today, you must make a grand entrance."

Nancy was puzzled, "What main character?"

Emma immediately closed her mouth.

Basil explained, "The main character is the master’s birthday, standing by the master’s side, of course, you are the main character."

Emma nodded quickly.

Nancy looked at Julius Shaw, seeing his expression of agreement too.

Seeing everyone insist, she did not refuse.

Her dressing room had many gowns, most of them were simple.

But the stylist had brought a very glamorous gown, and Nancy let them dress her up.

By the time everything was done, Nancy was almost falling asleep.

She yawned, eyes misty with sleep, as she picked up the huge dress hem and went downstairs.

Everyone waiting downstairs was stunned.

The glamorous gown, layered skirt, hair styled up, with flowers adorning from head to skirt, and a few strands lazily brushing her cheeks.

She looked like a princess from a castle, stepping gracefully down a floral staircase, walking towards everyone.

Nancy had attended some events and banquets, but her outfits were mostly simple, never this extravagant.

No one expected that under such lavish attire, it would have this effect.

Her glamour did not overshadow her natural aura.

All the brilliance seemed to turn into mere embellishments for her beauty.

Nancy yawned again and softly asked, "What’s wrong, aren’t we leaving yet?"

Everyone snapped back to reality.

Julius’s face didn’t look good, but thinking about receiving Nancy’s painting today, he suppressed his possessiveness.

This Nancy made him want to hide her from everyone’s view; he wanted to keep his princess forever locked in a castle, but he dared not...

Everyone set off.

Nancy and Julius sat side by side in the backseat of the car.

Nancy was truly sleepy and started nodding off as soon as she got in the car.

Having a tendency to doze off, getting up early in the morning, and being focused on painting in the studio all afternoon had already made her tired.

Julius gently let Nancy lean on his shoulder and just watched her.

If Nancy were awake, she would notice Julius’s eyes were purely tender, just like Godfery’s warmth.

Soon they arrived at the hotel.

The car stopped, Hailey rushed over to open the door.

Groggy with sleep, Nancy frowned and moved but did not wake.

Julius put his finger to his lips, signaling Hailey to be quiet.

Then picked up Nancy and got out of the car.

Hailey gaped slightly, wanting to be like a loyal minister in a TV drama and advise the second master that this is not good; with so many guests watching, the young madam should be awakened.

But Hailey also thought, loyal ministers usually die early, so choose to keep quiet, the young madam should get more rest if she’s tired.

Julius carried Nancy into the banquet as if no one else was around.

As the main character of the banquet, coming later than everyone else, but no one dared to voice any objection.

Seeing this lord carrying a woman in upon entering, the venue fell silent but stared in surprise their way.

What was going on?

Nancy, buried in Julius’s embrace, had her face obscured.

The venue was dead silent at this moment, but Nancy woke up because there were too many unfamiliar auras.

Nancy is a sensitive person, prefers to keep her distance from most people and things, not willing to get too close, these strange presences woke her.

Nancy opened her eyes, first seeing Godfery’s face.

Her gaze blurred, like being in a dream.

In her dream, she longed for a future with Godfery.

In her dream, Godfery tenderly called her Nancy.

Nancy leaned close to this face, affectionately rubbing her cheek against it.

The guests around drew a sharp breath.

The surrounding sounds brought Nancy back to reality.

Realizing where she was, Nancy fully awakened.

She pushed Julius, and he set her down.

Like a delicate princess floating in the air, her regal feet touched the ground, her luxurious dress, exquisite makeup, adding a noble laziness due to just waking up.

A breathtaking beauty.

At that moment, Julius reached out and took Nancy’s hand, announcing in front of everyone, "On this occasion, I have an announcement to make: Nancy, she is my wife, the only mistress of the Imperial Garden!"

Nancy abruptly turned to look at Julius.

He referred to himself as Godfery Shaw!
