My Substitute CEO Bride
Chapter 1585

Wagner took a deep breath and then looked at his granddaughter with satisfaction, saying, "Well done. Actually, I was just testing you. I wasn't actually going to go up and toast them!"

After saying this, he seemed to remember something and whispered, "I heard you know the commander of the Celestial Dragon Squadron?"

Sammy did not need to ask to know what the old man was thinking. She solemnly advised, "Grandpa, I urge you not to have any ideas. The Roche family has already given us great benefits out of respect for Commander Calcraft. If we push our luck, it will only backfire!" A glint flashed in Wagner's eyes. "Sammy, I never realized how sharp you were before."

Sammy pouted. "That's because you used to focus all your attention on your precious grandson!"

Wagner glanced at his grandson, Houston, who was gnawing on a drumstick with greasy lips. He could not help but shake his head with bitter amusement, feeling extremely disappointed.

Houston was his second son's son. He was 16 years old this year, only one year younger than Sammy.

Nonetheless, the gap between them was self-evident.

Kaden was in a very good mood today.

However, as he was older now, he could not hold his liquor as well as he used to. He blacked out in less than half an hour.

Darius, Mikael, and the two retired old men took over the task of keeping him company.

Nonetheless, they were no match for Nash and Dallas.

They did not even need to use their true energy to make everyone suffer from the drinks.

The banquet lasted for two hours.

Then, Dallas organized the Divine Strategy Squadron to return to Capiton.

Nash also had Euria organize the members of the Celestial Dragon Squadron to return to the base.

Nash decided to stay in Munford for half a day more. It was also to let Yorick spend more time with his great-grandfather.

According to what he learned at the dinner table, Kaden's son and grandson had both sacrificed themselves for the country.

His daughter-in-law also passed away due to illness in previous years, leaving only his granddaughter-in-law and Yorick at home.

If he took Yorick away, the old man would lose another companion.

In the dim living room, only the ticking of the clock could be heard.

After pondering for a moment, Nash looked at Yorick, who was sitting opposite him in a daze. "Yorick, do you want to stay in Munford or go to Jonford with me?"

Yorick pursed his thin lips. "I'll listen to you, Master."

Nash's mouth twitched. "It's up to you!"

After giving it a thought, Yorick turned to look at the photo of his great-grandfather in his youth on the wall and said softly, "I want to stay in Munford. If I leave too, my great-grandfather will be very lonely.

"I haven't seen my own grandfather much, let alone my father.

"My grandfather raised me single-handedly, and he took care of all my needs. He also has this habit where he sits at the door every evening, staring at the end of the road until I come home. Only then does he have a smile on his wrinkled face. "I don't want to leave. I don't want to have my grandfather sit foolishly at the door every day, expecting me to come home!"

With tears in his eyes, Yorick looked at Nash. "Mr. Calcraft, I can't bear to leave my great-grandfather!"

Nash smiled and nodded. "Being filial is the foremost of all virtues. I haven't misjudged you. Then you shall stay in Munford. I'll set up an illusion array and a gathering spirit array in your home!"

"Thank you for your kindness, sir!" Yorick was grateful and teary-eyed.

Nash took out a large number of spiritual stones to carve the array patterns.

Since Yorick was alone, the space needed for the illusion array was not large.

Nash completed it in just two or three hours.

He placed a large number of spiritual stones in the illusion array to set up the gathering spirit array.

The array was arranged on Yorick's bed, and Nash taught him how to enter and exit the array.

Entering the illusion array, Yorick found himself in a roughly 20-square-meter grassland.

The blue sky, white clouds, and green grass made the air exceptionally fresh.

Holding the array pattern spiritual stone, he found himself back where he started.

"Isn't this just too unreal, Master?" Yorick was excited and thrilled.

"Sit cross-legged, close your eyes, and relax your whole body. I'll impart to you the techniques of cultivation and medicine!"
