My Substitute CEO Bride
Chapter 1578

"Oh, alright..." Sammy replied loudly.

After a moment's distraction, she sighed deeply.

In fact, it was her mother who urged her to come and look for Nash.

She slept with her mother last night and told her about Nash curing her illness.

Hearing that Nash had been kind to her, and Nash being a powerful figure himself, her mother asked about her feelings toward Nash.

Of course, Sammy had nothing but praise for Nash. Her mother noticed her interest in Nash and asked her to repay Nash...

Sammy could tell that Nash had no interest in her body.

In fact, she had already guessed the outcome before coming.

After all, with someone like Sienna, the nation's loved one, by Nash's side, how could he possibly be interested in a young girl like herself who had not come of age yet?

...

Nash arrived downstairs.

It was just past 7:00 am. In Munford, winter days started late. There was barely any light now, and there was fog today.

Through the hazy fog, one could see more than a dozen black cars slowly approaching.

There were Inspection Office cars escorting in the front and back.

Dallas and the top brass of the Divine Strategy Squadron had already arrived.

After the cars stopped, Mikael, the head of the Munford Inspection Office, personally opened the door for Kaden Copper.

Dressed in a suit, Kaden stepped out of the car slowly.

Everyone saluted together, and Nash also did the same.

The founding heroes who created the era of peace and prosperity deserved respect.

The people on Kaden's side also raised their hands in return.

He was in his twilight years and had old injuries in his waist, so he usually had to walk hunched over.

Yet at this moment, he stood tall with his head held high. He saluted with impeccable form.

The brief ceremony concluded.

Then, Kaden approached Nash with a smile. "Nashy, I hope I didn't disturb your sleep?"

Nash warmly shook hands with Kaden, feeling somewhat surprised.

"General Copper, you're too kind to have come over personally!"

"I'm getting older, so sleep doesn't come easy. As I thought about hosting you heroes today, I couldn't sleep even more. I was bored, so I thought about coming over to pick you up so we could have a chat over tea at my place!" Kaden's eyes were kind as he looked at Nash. It was as if he was seeing his own descendant.

That was when Nash noticed the sweat on Kaden's temples, and his straight posture from earlier was slowly slumping. His frail body even trembled slightly.

Using his Third Eye, Nash instantly noticed symptoms of muscle tearing in Kaden's waist, likely caused by the effort of standing up straight to salute just now. Nash's heart was stirred, and he said in a deep voice, "General Copper, your waist isn't well. Let me help you sit in the car. We'll head to your place now." "Alright, alright..."

Kaden nodded with a smile and let Nash assist him into the car.

"Come sit beside me!" Kaden said with a beaming smile.

Nash nodded and followed suit.

Gerbind leaned in close to Dallas and whispered, "Commander Calcraft seems to be getting better treatment than you, Mr. Cricton!"

"Be open-minded. Would this operation have gone smoothly without Nash? He's the hero of the day. What's wrong with a little favoritism?" Dallas rolled his eyes at Gerbind.

He was not going to be jealous just because Kaden favored Nash.

After all, Nash's excellence spoke for itself.

Besides, Nash was his grandson-in-law.

Which old guy would steal the limelight from his own grandson-in-law?

Darius approached and shook hands with Dallas, then invited him to ride in his private car.

Half an hour later, the group arrived at the Munford Shallowtail Villa District.

These were all old-fashioned mansions from the 1970s and 1980s.

Even 40 or 50 years ago, these houses would not be considered luxurious.
