My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 268

Chapter 268 

Despite seeing Felicity standing very close to Nash, Hera still had a happy and excited smile on her face. She immediately pulled Yvonne aside for a chat. 

She believed that Nash was not the type to be easily swayed by other women. 

However, seeing the man she loved getting close to another woman did stir a hint of jealousy in her 

heart. 

“What is it? Do I know you that well?” 

Nash gave Felicity an annoyed look. 

“Ah… Never mind… Never mind… Hehehe!” 

Felicity realized that Nash did not want his family to know, so she awkwardly smiled and stayed 

silent. 

She had boasted many times in front of her grandfather, but none of it was ever true. 

This time, she could genuinely brag in front of him. 

Liam glanced at the time and said with a smile, “Laurie, James, it’s getting late. I need to return to the company to handle some matters. Let’s continue this another day!” 

Lauren nodded and responded, “Alright, Liam. Be safe on the road!” 

Not long after Liam left, Felicity felt a bit out of place. She soon bid her farewells and departed. 

James, on the other hand, began discussing Nash with Harrison. 

“Harri, who exactly is this Nash?” 

The more James saw of Nash, the more enigmatic he appeared. 

Especially when Mr. Deacon from the Special Security Institution’s Ninth Division shook Nash’s hand. 

He had noticed a hint of wariness in Judas’ eyes. 

What kind of person could make the head of the Ninth Division cautious? 

“Oh, him… He’s the son-in-law I picked up!” 

Harrison had drunk quite a bit with James that evening, and the relationship between the two had greatly improved. 

Seeing James address him more warmly made Harrison quite pleased. 

Moreover, he wanted to leverage James’ influence in the Mare family to encourage Lauren to visit her elderly parents. 

So, he told James about Nash owning the Skyes’ platinum membership card and how he had 

purchased the 7nm photolithography machine. 

After hearing Harrison’s words, James was genuinely surprised. 

He had not expected Nash to have such a background. 

He realized that he had been putting on an intimidating front before Nash earlier, only to find out he had been making a fool of himself. 

The night grew darker. 

Maria prepared the beds for James and Yvonne and then went home after her shift. 

Yvonne insisted on sleeping with Hera, leaving Nash alone in his room. 

At 3:00 am, in the deep silence of the night, a man in a suit slowly approached the back of the villa. 

One of his hands was pressed against the wall while the other held his belly. 

“Damn… When will this dysentery suffering end?” 

Having said that, he quickly dashed to a nearby green area to relieve himself. 

After three minutes of struggling, he frantically searched his pockets to find… 

He had not brought any tissue. 

Trembling, he reached out to pick some leaves. 

However, at that moment, a hand handed him a stack of tissues.
