On the other hand.
In Percy''s mansion.
Percy held Nina''s hand and went to the cloakroom.
“What are you doing bringing me to the cloakroom in the middle of the night?" Nina looked at him
smilingly with a tender look in her eyes.
"To pick out clothes for you," said Percy as he opened the closet.
Nina noticed that there were many new clothes inside, so she asked in surprise, "Did you buy these for
me?"
"Yes, these clothes are suitable for more special asions, so I had someone send a few pieces over.
Have a look and see which one you like?" Percy said. He understood Nina''s style. If she was not
working, she would wear more casual andfortable clothing.
However, those clothes were not suitable for a dinner party.
"What special asion..." Nina looked through the clothes. The clothes he filled the closet with were
festive and seemed like they were for more formal asions.
"A birthday party," said Percy as he picked a pink one and held it in front of Nina.
The pink color made her features even more delicate and beautiful. When their eyes met, his heart
skipped a beat.
"What birthday party? Is it your friend''s?" Nina took the clothes and held them close to her body,
thinking that it was for his friend''s birthday party.
"No, it''s the Crawford family. It''s Louis'' mother''s birthday," Percy said.
Nina suddenly shoved the clothes at him. "You can go alone. I''m not going."
She remembered Susan''s arrogance and how she had made things difficult for Bianca, which was why
she did not have a good impression of her.
Plus, they must have invited the Mallory family.
If she attended with Percy and bumped into the other members of the Mallory family, it would not go
down well. The Mallory family would think of their reputation and not say anything on the spot, but they
would secretly make her suffer.
Nina did not want to give Percy a hard time either.
“They invited me and you." Percy took out the other clothes and handed them to Nina. “So, you can
pick one.
“Why did they invite me? I''m not close to Susan..." Nina wondered without moving an inch.
“Because Old Master Mallory had said before that you''re his goddaughter, so he has to put up a facade
even if it''s fake. Old Master Mallory had mentioned to me beforehand that it''s a separate invitation."
Percy held each garment up in front of her after seeing her not move at all.
Nina understood that separate invitations and attending with Percy were two different things.
Old Master Mallory admitted to her being his goddaughter in front of so many people just to save her
from some trouble. It would not make sense for her to not go.
Even if that meant bumping into the Mallory family.
If she chose not to go, she would embarrass Old Master Mallory.
Old Master Mallory had done so much to help her, so she should return the favor too.
Nina took the light pink one Percy held just now and asked him, “What do you think of this one?"

“It''s nice. This color suits you." Percy''s eyes sparkled as heplimented her.
In his eyes, Nina was the prettiest woman and no one couldpare to her.
“Really?" Nina looked in the mirror. It was simple and nice. It was a festive color too, perfect for a party.
“How fitting. I had the staff pair some essories too," said Percy as he held her hand and walked to
the dresser. Then, he opened a jewelry box.
Nina was usually pretty careless. She came into the cloakroom twice today, yet she did not realize that
there were so many new things in it.
The pearl essories caught her eye at first nce.
“So pretty," she said.
“Yup, they suit you. Wear them to the birthday party tomorrow," said Percy as he lifted an essory
and put it on Nina.
It was a new style of pearl ne, so it was suitable for young people. The more Nina looked at it in
the mirror, the more she liked it.
“I like it even more now." She kissed Percy''s lips.
Percy''s eyes became deep as he held onto her waist tightly, and his voice became hoarse as well.
“Nina, I haven''t bought anything for you in a while because I was busy. I''m sorry."
“It hasn''t been long. You bought me a lot of snacks the other time," Nina remembered everything he
had ever done for her.
Each time was worth remembering.
“Those were just some small stuff." Percy touched her neck and the white pearls that made her delicate
swan-like neck even more exquisite.
He had the urge to kiss her and leave a mark.
“It''s gettingte." He lightly blew beside her ear.
Nina felt ticklish all over and shrunk her neck as her body temperature kept rising.
“Help me take off the ne. I''m afraid of destroying it in my sleep." Her face was flushed as she
touched the pearl ne.
"It''s indeed really easy fragile. Let me help you." Percy took off the ne and carried the woman in
front of him.
"Ah..." Nina did not expect his actions to be so direct.
"Let''s go rest," Percy carried Nina into the bedroom.
It was nighttime. The wind and snow outside were making a racket.
However, the temperature inside kept rising.
Two people in love were whispering their love for each other into each other''s ears in their own ways.
It was the following afternoon.
Luca was busy arranging the documents in her office. Once she was done with the files, she could
submit them to the relevant organizations for patent application.
Zoey was familiar with the process, so she did not have Mo help her.
She could do it with just Rhett and Zoey''s help.
Her phone rang with Aunt Neile''s name disyed on the caller ID.
"Aunt Neile, what is it?" Luca picked up the phone and asked.
"Ms. Craw, we have a problem here. Can youe back home for a moment?" Aunt Neile sounded
anxious.
"What problem? Are the kids okay?" Luca thought of the three children at home first thing and asked
worriedly.
"I can''t tell you on the phone. It''s better if youe back.." Aunt Neile was stammering as if she was
hiding something.
Luca had a bad feeling, so she immediately put the documents back into the safe. "I''ll go there right
now."
She immediately hung up and called Warren. "Warren, can youe to T Corporation? I need to use
the car."
"Ms. Craw, I''m in the downstairs parking lot," Warren replied.
Luca frowned. Was Warren always in the parking lot? However, every time she got out of the car, he
would drive away.
"Okay, I''ming down now." Luca put on her coat and walked out of her office. She walked to the
assistants'' office and said to Zoey, "Ms. Davis, I need to go out for a while. Please apply leave for me."
