My Substitute CEO Bride

“That’s for the best! Such a man isn’t worthy of your love!” Skadi said coldly.

“Boo-hoo… I love him so much!”

Hera had hoped that Skadi would comfort her.

Instead, Skadi immediately doused her hopes.

She felt as if her heart was shattering.

“What I said is the truth! Nash Calcraft is an emotionless, cold-blooded creature… It’s dangerous for you to be with him!”

Skadi did not reveal to Hera about Nash’s identity as the Smiling Grim Reaper.

After all, he had been kind to the Zabels and Lewises, and Hera genuinely liked him. Keeping some of his reputation intact was the least Skadi could do, given their acquaintanceship. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

“Do you know something?” Hera asked tearfully.

Skadi had mentioned Nash being emotionless. Did she know about Nash’s affairs with other women?

“Do you

know as well?”

Skadi was surprised as well.

Hera had not been to Imperial Summer Manor the previous night. If Skadi’s grandfather had not told her, she would not have known about Nash’s identity as the Smiling Grim Reaper. How did Hera find

out?

Both were talking about different matters, yet their fragmented sentences seemed to fit together.

“I know everything… I’ve already moved out of Royal Bay…”

Hera felt that every breath she took was painful.

“Why? Why did he deceive me?”

Hera lost control, crying hysterically.

He was just fulfilling a marital promise.

The truth was that he already had another woman in his heart.

“Come on… Hera, stop crying! You haven’t even officially registered your marriage, so you guys are not legally married. You don’t even need to divorce!”

Skadi tried to console her gently.

Hera hung up the call, burying herself in her blanket while weeping.

All the memories she shared with Nash flashed through her mind.

Meanwhile, Yvonne pursed her lips.

It seemed… the situation was getting worse.

What should she do?

Should she admit her mistake?

Then again, what did she do wrong?

Bringing a woman home late at night, was he not afraid Hera would get jealous?

As for that woman, she went to another man’s home so late at night. She must have been trying to seduce Nash.

Yvonne humiliated her to help Hera drive her away. What was wrong with that?

Thinking this, Yvonne patted her chest reassuringly and comforted Hera. “Hera, don’t cry…. I’ll always be by your side!”

Inside the villa at Royal Bay, Nash, Melody, and Finn were having dinner.

Maria expressed her concerns, “Hera should’ve been home from work by now. Why hasn’t she returned? Could something have happened to her?”

Finn chuckled and said, “She came back once and then left again.”

After saying that, he sneakily glanced at Nash’s expression.

Maria looked at Melody and smiled bitterly. “Did you two have a fight?”

Nash nodded. “Yes, there was a misunderstanding.”

Maria showed a half-smile. “Young couples need time to adjust… It’s normal for women to be sensitive when they’re passionately in love. As a guy, you should be more thick-skinned. Just say some nice things tomorrow and make up!”

Nash gave a wry smile. “I understand, Maria. I’ll call her later to explain everything.”

After dinner, Nash asked Maria to prepare guest rooms for Melody and Finn.

Maria prepared some fruits for dessert and went to make the beds.

“Melody, what did you want to say about my father just now?”

Melody had mentioned Nash’s father, Wolfgang. But their conversation was interrupted by`

Hera’s arrival.

“Your father’s still alive. My grandmother said that on the day of the Youngs’ gathering, Wolfgang wasn’t in Young Family Village!

“I initially wanted to spend some money to look for him, but my grandmother stopped me!”

Melody had thought she had informed Nash about this but then recalled their conversation was interrupted by Hera.
