Chapter 978

When Nash saw Hera’s middle finger, he laughed and asked, “Where

did you learn that from?”

“Is this even something that needs to be learned? Isn’t it an

international hand gesture?”

Hera replied breathlessly.

Nash sighed. “Will you be mad since I caused you to lose a 300- million-dollar business deal?”

Hera wrapped her arms around Nash’s neck and said, “No, of course not. I actually despise him. I already told him I had a husband, but he still kept badgering me and inviting me for dinner. I was already getting ready to throw hands!”

Nash smiled a satisfied smile. “Next time, just throw hands if anyone.

ever rubs you the wrong way. Don’t forget you’ve got a powerful

husband supporting you from behind the scenes!”

Given his current relationship with three of the Five Elite Families in Jonford, nearly all of the chips needed in Jonford could be given to Baroque Group for production.

Meanwhile, his grandfather had already spoken to the other families in Sagen. They had agreed to have Baroque Group handle all the orders in Sagen.

Not to mention, there was Universal Group too.

Baroque Group would need to expand its business to be at least ten

times bigger than it currently was to handle all these orders.

Hera wriggled about on Nash’s back. “It’s so wonderful to have such an amazing husband!”

“In which aspect am I amazing?”

“In all aspects imaginable!”

Hera closed her eyes bashfully. There was a joyful smile on her face

as she said, “Do you think God sent me such a wonderful husband

because I saved the universe in another life…”

Nash said in a low voice, “I owed you too much in that life, which is

why God arranged for us to meet in this life!”

They walked out past the gates as they spoke.

Nash paused. “Should I have gone to the parking lot instead?”

Hera whined, “No. You made me cry just now, so your punishment is to carry me home!”

Nash sighed. “Thank goodness I had three tonic formulas just now. Otherwise, carrying you home on my back would’ve been difficult!”

“Gosh, no wonder you suddenly became so strong all of a sudden. Turns out it’s because you took medicine!

“Gosh, you’re still young, but you’re already relying on medicine to

keep our sex life active? Are you sure you can do it?”

Upon realizing there was an opportunity for her to tease Nash mercilessly, Hera began laughing heartily.

Nash had a gloomy look on his face as he said, “I crafted 12 of those

tonic formulas, and I only had three of them just now!”

Hera immediately wiped the smile off her face and said cutely, ” Alright, I’m sorry, my dearest husband!”

The road was quiet.

The street lamps were glowing.

The shadow of Nash carrying Hera on his back slowly elongated.

While they journeyed, he told Hera the story about Wolf and Rue.

Then, he added another character, Jean, into the story.

Tears brimmed in Hera’s eyes as she listened to the story, and she wrapped her arms around Nash’s neck. “Honey, let’s never get

separated, alright?”

Nash tightened his hold on Hera as well. “Of course. I’m waiting for the day we’re so old that I can wash your dentures for you!”

“We’re straying from the topic. What I want to ask you is, what do you think Jean is thinking of now?”

After all, Nash was a man and did not understand the intricacies of how women thought. Hence, he wanted to ask Hera for her advice.

“Hm… I think Jean is unable to forget the fact that one of them is her best friend. Wolf and Rue are a match made in heaven, and Rue is best friends with Jean. She will always be a third wheel in their relationship.

“If she claims Wolf as her own, how is she supposed to explain things to her deceased best friend?” Hera murmured as she lay on Nash’s

back.

“It’s like she has a grave in her heart for someone she still thinks is alive. Jean likes Wolf, but she can’t get over the mental block she’s set up for herself. Thus, she has decided to keep those feelings. buried forever and remain single until the end of her life!”

Nash fell silent as he listened to Hera speak. His footsteps slowed,

and he felt a wave of confusion wash over him.

As the son of the story’s main characters, he was impressed by his father’s ever-lasting loyalty to his mother. However, he also wished his father could spend the rest of his life with his godmother.

He did not know if thinking that way was being disrespectful to his mother.

Hera leaned forward and gazed at Nash’s face as she asked softly, This Wolf guy you’re talking about is your father, isn’t it?”

Nash had a startled expression on his face. “How did you know? Did Melody tell you?”
