My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 1455

Tatiana lifted the blanket for a peek, and her pupils shrank. Something was bound to go wrong with how much she had drunk. She closed her eyes, recalling what happened. She had seduced Nash, and quite boldly too.

"Ah! I can’t face anyone now!" Tatiana pulled the blanket over her head, feeling utterly embarrassed.

“You were asleep for quite some time. You must be hungry, right? Come on, get up and eat something.” Nash did not dare look at Tatiana, feeling somewhat guilty about his drunken behavior.

“I... I’m not hungry yet...” Tatiana said from under the blanket. Immediately, her stomach protested. Her already hot face turned even redder.

Nash ladled out a bowl of chowder and set it aside to cool while he continued eating barbecue and drinking beer. Tatiana peeked at Nash through a gap in the blanket, her mind a tumult of emotions.

After a long while, Tatiana finally got dressed under the covers. She then walked to the table with messy hair and sat down. Looking at the steaming bowl of chowder, she smiled softly. “You can cook too, huh?”

“Do you look down on me?” Nash replied with a smile. “I started cooking on my own when I was five. While I can’t make any of those famous dishes, I can easily whip up some home-cooked food!”

Tatiana scooped a spoonful of hot chowder into her mouth. It was perfectly seasoned and was not fishy at all. “You’re a pretty good cook,” she complimented him, then began eating the chowder by the spoonful.

Tears slid down her cheeks and into the bowl. How wonderful it would be to stay with him forever. Sadly, like those wealthy heiresses, she too was just a tool for an arranged marriage by her family. When she was five, her great-grandfather had already set up a marriage contract.

While Nash looked to be focused on the grill, he was looking at Tatiana from the corners of his eyes. Seeing her tears, he could not help but sigh internally. She probably regretted what happened.

Tatiana said nothing more, and the atmosphere was as oppressive as it could get.
