CHAPTER 365: CHAPTER 365: LIFTED HIGH

Godfery Shaw, upon hearing that someone was targeting Nancy Allen, transformed almost like a wolf king awakening, carrying a sharp sense of danger.

Clement quickly said, "We haven’t been able to confirm who did it yet, but indeed, there’s someone steering public opinion, repeatedly trying to influence it toward the Young Madam."

"Have Anna assist you in the investigation. I need to know who dares to make a move against her."

"Yes, we will conduct a thorough investigation immediately."

"I understand, you may leave."

Clement bowed his head and exited the room.

Godfery Shaw looked at the small face nestled against his chest, which was slightly flushed. She continued to sleep peacefully.

Nancy, don’t be afraid, I won’t let anyone harm you.

Nancy was sound asleep, unaware of anything.

An hour later, Godfery Shaw gently called Nancy to wake her.

"Nancy, wake up."

"Hmm? Have they arrived?" Nancy woke up groggily, snuggling against Godfery Shaw’s chest, as if acting spoiled.

"Yes, they’re waiting for you downstairs." Godfery’s voice was soft, as if he feared a louder noise would surprise the drowsy Nancy.

Nancy rubbed her eyes and sat up, looking at Godfery Shaw in front of her, and the handsome face that seemed to blur the lines between dream and reality.

Bold and drowsy, Nancy leaned up and kissed Godfery Shaw’s cheek.

He’s really good-looking.

Godfery Shaw froze, like a wooden sculpture.

Currently, Nancy didn’t reject him, allowing herself to be held and moved around, allowing close feeding, but all were initiated by Godfery Shaw, with Nancy seldom showing affection.

Secretly, Godfery Shaw didn’t actually believe Nancy’s words about starting over together and never leaving again.

Nancy belatedly realized what she had done.

Her face flushed as she got up from Godfery Shaw’s embrace, put on her plush slippers, and walked out with feigned composure, "Godfery Shaw, stop dazing, hurry up, everyone’s waiting."

She just knew that watching Godfery’s face every day, one day she would inevitably be tempted.

This man, Godfery, looks like an exiled immortal, how could anyone resist after seeing him often?

Godfery Shaw touched his face, unable to suppress a smile at the corners of his mouth, and got up to follow Nancy downstairs.

Downstairs.

Everyone who came days ago competing for Nancy with Godfery Shaw was present.

But at this moment, Godfery was in good spirits, saying nothing.

Joyce had already set up a large table of dishes, warmly inviting everyone.

Sophie Allen smiled as she saw Nancy coming downstairs, her big eyes curving into crescents, happily running toward Nancy.

As she was about to fall into Nancy’s embrace, Godfery Shaw intercepted her, lifting Sophie Allen up, "Don’t pounce around, Nancy’s not well, you might knock her over."

Sophie obediently let Godfery hold her and concernedly asked Nancy, "Mom, are you feeling better? Are you still uncomfortable?"

Nancy reached out and pinched Sophie Allen’s little face, shaking her head.

Emma Lewis called out from the other side, "Hurry, come eat, we’re just waiting for you two. No reason for hosts to keep guests waiting, dying of hunger here."

Godfery Shaw and his little family sat over.

Joyce was smiling kindly from the side, "Everyone start eating, if you like anything, tell me, I’ll make it right away."

Everyone started eating, all in high spirits.

Godfery Shaw was happy because of Nancy’s closeness earlier.

Others were happy because Nancy was going to paint again.

It’s been five years since Nancy stopped painting, and they didn’t hope to see her paint again one day. For them, this was like a rebirth for Nancy.

Bringing joy and anticipation.

Robert Reed was so delighted he didn’t emphasize eating quietly without talking.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was very lively.

Joyce turned her back, quietly wiping the corners of her eyes, the Imperial Garden hadn’t been this lively for a long time.

Godfery Shaw had always been alone, from childhood to adulthood, always alone.

Things are really good now.

Everyone was noisy and bustling, even Godfery Shaw tolerated this tumult, always beside Nancy, helping her with food.

If it weren’t for Nancy being shy, not allowing him to feed her in front of so many people, he would directly feed Nancy.

The usually decisive big figure, fell in love with feeding.

Watching his little rabbit eat bit by bit brings a sense of achievement.

After finishing the meal, everyone looked nervously at Nancy.

The result was Godfery Shaw breaking the tense atmosphere, "Just full, not suitable for exertion, let’s go for a walk."

Everyone thought it made sense too, painting isn’t something done in three to five minutes.

Today, the two-person stroll of Godfery Shaw and Nancy turned into a group walk.

The Imperial Garden was indeed very large, to circle the entire estate by car would take some time.

A group chatting and laughing.

The only grumble from Godfery Shaw was that Nancy was surrounded by Emma Lewis and Edward Allen, a while later, it turned into Mr. Allen and Mrs. Allen encircling Nancy.

Everyone took turns surrounding Nancy with concern and questions, leaving Godfery Shaw squeezed to the back.

But seeing Nancy’s ever-present smile, Godfery Shaw decided to overlook this slight dissatisfaction.

Only Emily Allen didn’t join the crowd, walking alongside Godfery Shaw.

A big and a small there, both speaking less, forming a stark contrast with the liveliness in front.

After a long while, Emily asked, "Will you stay beside Aunt like before?"

Long ago, still living in the old district, Emily and Godfery Shaw had their own tacit understanding.

Back then, Emily knew that with Godfery Shaw around, Aunt could sleep well, so every night when Godfery Shaw secretly came, Emily would leave the door open for him, the two silently guarding Nancy together.

Godfery Shaw suddenly reached out and ruffled Emily’s small head, "I will."

The two fell silent, speaking no more.

Up front, Emma Lewis boldly exclaimed, "Since Godfery Shaw reorganized the outskirts of Imperial Garden, I must say, the taste of the handmade wine here is really nice."

Having said this, Basil Smith quietly tugged Emma Lewis’s sleeve.

Emma hurriedly shut her mouth, only then realizing that Nancy had unpleasant memories related to this vineyard.

But Nancy smiled and proactively said, "The wine is indeed good, I’ll ask Godfery Shaw to send some to everyone later, the tea here also has some distinct flavors, all worth a try."

Emma Lewis cautiously glanced at Nancy.

Nancy calmly said, "I had Godfery Shaw rebuild the greenhouse."

Emma sighed in relief, everyone relaxed, no longer worried about saying the wrong thing.

They fear Nancy may have shadows from what happened five years ago, but the greenhouse has been rebuilt, indicating she has let go.

Mr. and Mrs. Allen couldn’t help but glance back at Godfery Shaw, actually quite satisfied with this son-in-law.

No matter how cold and domineering Godfery might be outside, he’s on the verge of spoiling Nancy to the heavens.

Everyone bantered and walked toward the orchard.

There were many fruit trees here, Emma Lewis made a fuss about picking fruits, and then quickly climbed onto a tree, earning applause from Sophie Allen.

The atmosphere was so good today, everyone was very relaxed.

Victor also climbed onto the tree, picking fruits and handing them to those below.

Nancy looked on with some envy.

Her health isn’t good, unable to climb trees and leap around like everyone else.

Suddenly, Nancy felt her body lighten, she was lifted high, a shiny apple right in front of her, she could reach out and pick it.

Nancy was stunned.
