My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 1503

Today was the third, so the day after tomorrow was the fifth. Nash closed the invitation, his expression shifting between cloudy and clear. Had Tatiana not said that with the Thousand Illusion Array Disc, she would not need to honor that marriage agreement?

Could the Thoran family be pressuring the Cricton family? Why would the Cricton family fear the Thoran family when they had the Divine Strategy Squadron and the Northern Territory as part of their background? Doubts filled Nash’s mind as his heart was thrown into turmoil.

“Commander, will we go?” Lumi asked with sparkling eyes. She was unaware of his relationship with Tatiana. She just wanted to seize the opportunity to go out and have fun with her commander.

“We’ll go,” Nash replied expressionlessly. “Bertram, Regulus, and I will attend the wedding the day after tomorrow.”

Lumi’s face fell as she asked pitifully, “Can my sister and I come along?”

“If you want to come, then come,” he replied indifferently. With that, he turned and left, leaving everyone else looking at each other in confusion.

“What’s up with the commander?” Angelic wondered out loud.

“Could he be involved with the Crictons' daughter?” Wendy guessed.

…

At the Divine Strategy Squadron base in Capiton, all the high-ranking officials had received wedding invitations from the Cricton and Thoran families. They all congratulated Dallas, who responded with a forced smile.

It should have been a joyous occasion, but Dallas could not bring himself to feel happy. After all, Tatiana was his granddaughter, and he wished for her to marry for love. However, it seemed like she was not fond of the lad from the Thorans.

Rosarch Cricton was a stubborn man set in his ways, making it difficult for any decision to be changed once made. Concerned about Tatiana being 'stolen' by outsiders, he even insisted on moving the wedding date forward.

The search for the Thousand Illusion Array Disc was meant to allow Tatiana to refuse to marry into the Thoran family. Against all odds, she actually found it.

Now, Rosarch claimed that the disc and the Thorans’ Thousand Image Array Bead were integral to one another. They would form a true divine artifact when combined. To co-own this artifact, Tatiana had to marry into the Thoran family.
