CHAPTER 270: CHAPTER 270: FROM NOW ON, I CAN COME OUT ANYTIME

Nancy Allen didn’t notify Godfery Shaw and went straight to Cloudglow with a food box.

Prior to this, after Nancy Allen was frightened away from the Imperial Garden by Julius Shaw.

The so-called Julius Shaw’s expression changed repeatedly.

It was like a tug-of-war between two personalities, ultimately resulting in a bizarre transformation.

He sat alone in the room, muttering to himself.

At times, he spoke in a sickly sweet tone: "From now on, I will come out anytime."

Then he replied coldly: "No."

"My dear brother, don’t forget, you are me, and I am you. If Nancy doesn’t accept me, she doesn’t accept you. Your longing for her closeness now is something you stole."

"...I don’t trust you; you nearly hurt her again today."

"Brother, I didn’t mean to. Don’t you know? I am the one wholeheartedly for her. I’m not negotiating with you. Whether you agree or not, I will come out. You can’t suppress me."

There was a long pause.

Due to five years of self-harm and deliberate self-torture, a strange change occurred between the two personalities.

They seemed like a single soul with dual consciousness, capable of communicating and conversing.

The injury was merely a trigger. In the past five years, when Nancy wasn’t around, Julius Shaw didn’t want to come out, but now he really wanted to, and Godfery Shaw couldn’t stop him.

After a long silence, Godfery Shaw said in a deep voice: "Do not appear at night, and do not appear when she doesn’t want to see you."

"Okay."

The person in the room calmed down.

The sickly sweet obsession disappeared, and though the wound on Godfery Shaw’s arm hadn’t healed, he resumed his cold and assertive demeanor.

Meanwhile, Nancy Allen was at Ink Manor, listening to Hailey Smith tell stories.

Once Godfery Shaw steadied himself, he glanced indifferent at his wound and ignored it, then went to the company.

Seeing Godfery Shaw appear, Basil Smith let out a long sigh of relief.

If the eldest young master didn’t show up soon, he’d be worked to death.

However, this time when Godfery Shaw came to the company, many of his decisions took Basil Smith by surprise.

The eldest young master was actually starting to terminate some mergers and expansions.

Like a ruler who intended to unify the world, suddenly no longer so ruthless and aggressive, wanting to retreat to his own small domain.

Basil Smith didn’t even need to think to know that this was because of the Young Madam.

He was not dissatisfied at all; instead, he was a little happy.

The eldest young master’s relentless mode had instilled terror in many people. In the business field, doing things too extremely often wasn’t good, as it easily led to problems with everyone pushing against you.

Now that the eldest young master had restrained himself, it was actually a good thing.

However, Godfery Shaw just didn’t want to be so busy anymore.

He wanted to spend more time with Nancy Allen, rather than being stuck at the company.

By noon, Basil Smith was a bit melancholic.

The biggest problem for the eldest young master now was eating and sleeping.

No matter how meticulously prepared the food was, if he was busy, he’d refuse to eat.

As for sleep, there was no need to mention it. Five years ago, the eldest young master’s sleep was terrible, and those calming incenses had a lot of sleep-aid ingredients. Now, not even calming incense, sleeping pills, or hypnosis worked.

Every noon, whether busy or not, Basil Smith personally prepared the food cart.

He tried to choose food that the eldest young master liked, as eating a little more was good.

Meanwhile, Nancy Allen had already arrived at the foot of Cloudglow Building.

Looking up at the building, Nancy Allen sighed slightly; she had returned.

She walked into the lobby and removed her hat.

For a moment, the lobby fell into an unusual silence.

It felt like in the midst of hazy rain, a fairy appeared, removing her white veil, revealing her face.

Others might not recognize Nancy Allen, but people from Cloudglow Building certainly did.

After all, to them, Nancy Allen was nothing short of a legend.

Marrying the second young master, then after divorce, making the eldest young master pine for her.

Such a woman must be one of a kind in the world.

The momentum created by Amos Shaw back then made the entire Riverwood City aware of what happened that day, and people talked about it for a long time afterwards.

As Nancy Allen appeared, several receptionists recognized her immediately.

Seeing Nancy Allen heading towards the elevator, the receptionists didn’t know whether to block her or to lead her upstairs, but recalling the rumors that said she was a cold yet ruthless woman, to avoid trouble, they remained silent, pretending not to have seen her.

The security guard at the entrance hesitated for a moment, then suddenly stepped forward to stop Nancy Allen, saying slightly embarrassed: "Ma’am, are you looking for someone? You can’t just go in here."

The receptionist initially wanted to hint not to block her, but recalling that security guard Thomas Carter received favor from the top floor, they were secretly envious and said nothing, letting this fool offend someone.

Nancy Allen was stopped but didn’t get angry, pointed upstairs, and then at the food box in her hand, indicating she was there to deliver a meal.

Thomas Carter then asked, "Ma’am, who are you delivering the meal to?"

Nancy Allen thought for a moment, took out a notebook and wrote: "Basil Smith."

In some ways, Nancy Allen and Sophie Allen were indeed mother and daughter. Both knew that meeting Godfery Shaw might be troublesome, so they unanimously said Basil Smith.

Thomas Carter seriously looked at Nancy Allen’s face, then recalled that lovely little girl from days ago and suddenly widened his eyes, guessing: "Are you Sophie’s mom?"

Nancy Allen was taken aback, surprised that he knew Sophie. She nodded.

Thomas Carter laughed at once: "Why hasn’t Sophie come these days? Are you going upstairs? You don’t have to take the side elevator; take this one. Bob told me the password, I’ll take you up."

Thomas Carter’s straightforwardness never considered the fact that if Sophie was Basil Smith’s niece, how could Sophie’s mom come to deliver lunch to Basil Smith so intimately?

Nancy Allen couldn’t help but smile; Sophie was indeed delightful everywhere.

She wrote thank you in her notebook.

Thomas Carter’s face turned red with a sheepish grin: "No need to thank me; it’s what I should do."

Thomas Carter led Nancy Allen to the CEO’s exclusive elevator, and the receptionists watched in silence.

Clearly, this fool Thomas Carter hadn’t recognized who this woman was.

Why would he let her use the CEO’s exclusive elevator and smile so kindly?

Could it be that indeed fools have their blessings?

Nancy Allen entered the elevator and went straight to the top floor.

She exited the elevator and saw that this floor was quiet with no one around, possibly because it was lunchtime.

Was she late? Had Godfery Shaw already gone out?

Nancy Allen headed directly to Godfery Shaw’s office, intending to leave the food box there and then call him.

Thinking this, she pushed open the door to Godfery Shaw’s office.

Godfery Shaw abruptly raised his eyes, glaring fiercely at the person who barged in without knocking.

Nancy Allen paused, realizing Godfery Shaw hadn’t gone out to eat; it was just too quiet, making her think he wasn’t there.

She met Godfery Shaw’s gaze, completely unfazed, and walked toward him.

Godfery Shaw’s fierce gaze lasted only for a second before quickly subsiding. He wasn’t expecting Nancy Allen at all and seemed a bit dazed.

Nancy Allen walked over, placed the food box on a side resting area, then came to Godfery Shaw’s side. Naturally, she pulled the documents from his hand and leaned towards his face.

Godfery Shaw’s pupils quaked.

Was Nancy going to... kiss him?

Nancy Allen leaned in but it was just to whisper in his ear since she couldn’t speak: "What are you still doing here? I brought you food, come and eat."
