My Substitute CEO Bride

After drying his hair, Nash sat on the sofa and took out his phone to continue browsing through the contact numbers.

When he heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom, he turned his head to look.

Unfortunately, he could not see anything.

He could not help but mutter, “We’re about to get married. Why is she still putting her guard up against me?”

He lowered his head and found a phone number saved as ‘Chatty Skye’.

As soon as he dialed the number, someone answered immediately.

“I’ve been waiting for your call like I look forward to the stars and the moon at night, Nashy. It’s been three years since we last saw each other, and my longing for you is like the surging river, continuous and overflowing, forever unstoppable like…”

“Shut up…”

“Yes, Sir!”

“Did you make any progress on the information I asked you to investigate?” Nash asked in a calm tone.

“I did find something, but…”

“Spit it!” Nash’s tone turned cold.

“20 years ago, a fire broke out in Young Family Village. At that time, Master Calcraft happened to be passing by Young Family Village while traveling down the mountain. He rescued two people from the fire, a child of about two years old and an old man! The following year, Master Calcraft came down from the mountain to practice medicine and brought along a toddler who had just learned to walk. From this, we can deduce that the child who escaped from the fire was you, Nash!”

“What about the old man?” Nash squinted his eyes and asked.

“The old man is none other than Herman Lewis!”

“Is there anything else?” Nash asked in a slightly hoarse voice. “An entire village was burned, and no one escaped. Someone must have wanted to eliminate everyone, right?”

“I haven’t found any information about that yet… If I do, I’ll inform you immediately, Nash!”

“Okay.”

Nash hung up the phone and slowly lay down on the sofa.

Ever since he could remember, he had thought that his master was his grandfather.

He had asked about his parents, but his master never said a word.
