My Substitute CEO Bride
Chapter 1405

Ice spikes and water pillars simultaneously shot toward Nash, but he had already walked out of the room and closed the door behind him. The ice spikes pierced through the security door, shocking Nash. These ice spikes were much harder than ordinary ice!

"Hmm... Did I forget something?" Nash muttered to himself.

At the same time, the sound of a baby crying came from the room.

Nash slapped his forehead. "Thank goodness, he's not my son, or I'd be such a failure as a father!" He opened the door and was met with a flushed Lumi glaring at him. "You didn't even take the child with you. Is this how a parent acts?" Nash chuckled awkwardly, took little Micah, and skedaddled away.

Behind him, Lumi was shaking her fist at him. Incorrigible man! He peeked at her! She had grown up without ever having a man spy on her, yet he had seen through her coat and peeked at her undergarments!

Nash carried Micah to Hera's room. How should he handle this child? He could not possibly carry him around all the time.

Just then, Skadi walked past in the corridor. When Nash saw her, he immediately called out, "Skadi!"

Skadi turned back, looking at Nash with confusion. "What's up?"

Nash smiled. "Could you help me take care of the baby for a couple of days?"

Skadi rolled her eyes. "Taking care of Yoyo alone is already tiring enough, and now you want me to take care of another baby?"

Suddenly, a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes. She turned around and sashayed into the room. "Well, it's not impossible, but you must help me refine a few pills!"

Nash immediately agreed. "Sure, what kind of pills do you want?"

Skadi's face turned slightly red. "Um, I want those... pills that can arouse martial artists!"

Nash knew Skadi's intentions and said solemnly, "I don't recommend doing that. Even if you two end up together, your future would be forced."

Skadi's eyes turned red with distress. "But I really like him! I've already decided that he's the one I'll marry!"

If Cillian were not so cold, she would not resort to such methods.

Nash pondered for a moment before saying, "I do have an idea..."

Skadi plopped herself down beside Nash excitedly. Just then, Cillian walked past and Nash said, "I've been busy lately, so I'll leave this child in your care for two days!"

Skadi nodded. "Don't worry, I'll make sure to take care of him well and keep him chubby!"

After sensing Cillian walking away, Nash then explained his plan to Skadi.

Skadi looked skeptical and pursed her lips. "Will this work?"

Nash replied confidently, "Trust me, it'll work!" He could tell that Cillian had feelings for Skadi, but he just could not get past the barrier in his head. Nash would not dare make any guarantees if it were Jaxon, but he was certain with Cillian. Skadi smiled and replied, "Then I'll go along with your plan. But who should I look for?"

Nash patted his chest. "Leave that to me!"

"Thank you, Nash!"

After Skadi left, Nash took out his phone and made a call.

...

In a beautiful countryside with picturesque mountains and rivers in the northwest region, there was a mansion that rivaled foreign palaces. There were hundreds of firm bodyguards stationed, ensuring tight security. Maverick was playing chess with his father with a phone in one hand and a white piece in the other. Suddenly, he was startled. "What's going on?"
