My Substitute CEO Bride
Chapter 984

Chapter 984

Nash’s expression sank.

At that time, he was not very mature himself. He was just teasing Cassie, but she took it seriously.

“I’m already married…” Nash said in a low voice.

No matter whether Cassie was serious or not, he should still tell her that he was married to avoid any further misunderstandings.

The smile on Cassie’s face disappeared, and tears welled up in her Leyes. She sobbed. “You jerk… How could you dump me after you slept

with me?”

Nash was baffled. “We were just stargazing on the grass!”

His master had stayed in Cassie’s village for three months, and

during that time, Cassie would never leave Nash’s side.

They hiked together, fished together herded cattle together, and even lay on the grass together to count the stars!

At that time, Nash did not know that he was engaged, so he promised

to marry Cassie when she grew up.

Cassie lowered her head and remained silent for a long time.

Nash asked with mixed feelings, “Have you eaten yet? How about I

take you to grab some food?”

Cassie shook her head while warm tears dripped onto the back of her

hands.

Nash pressed his lips together and said, “You still have a long way ahead of you, and you’ll meet many good men. I believe that you’ll replace someone who will treat you like you’re his whole world!”

Cassie wiped her tears and choked. “So, you just think of me as your

little sister?”

Nash smiled. “We can be friends too!”

Cassie turned her head and asked, “What about your mistress?”

Nash’s expression sank. “Can you not be so immature?”

Cassie chuckled. “Relax, I’m just messing with you!”

Nash froze. “Were you messing with me on purpose just now too?”

Cassie lifted her chin arrogantly. “Of course. I’m the future queen of the Parasite Colony. All men will bow to me when they see me. What

makes you think I’d travel 2,000 miles just for a man?”

Then, she stopped joking and said solemnly, “I came to Jonford to

look for Abraham. He stole an egg from the Parasite Lord in the

forbidden area!”

“Abraham? Is he your uncle’s son?”

Nash was picturing a humble and honest man with a limp.

Six years ago, that man was about the same age as him.

He was the son of Cassie’s uncle.

The Parasite Colony worshipped the Parasite Lord. It resembled a

white maggot, had a lifespan of 70 to 100 years, and could grow up to

one meter long..

It secreted a green liquid that served as nourishment for the millions.

of parasitic bugs in the colony.

The Parasite Lord was hermaphroditic. Near the end of its life, it

would lay a single egg.

There were three Parasite Lords in the Parasite Colony until one of them was killed by a bomb during the war. It was unable to lay an egg because of its unnatural cause of death, so there were only two

Parasite Lords left in the village.

If they lost another Parasite Lord, the colony would lose a significant number of parasites.

They relied on these bugs to generate wealth, so a significant reduction in the parasite population would directly lead to an

economic downturn in the colony.

“That’s him, alright!

“He disappeared the same day as the Parasite Lord’s egg. After

contacting many people, my grandfather finally found traces of hir

Apparently, he came to Jonford half a month ago!”

Cassie looked a little dazed.

Grandpa told her that if Abraham refused to give in, she could kill him

with parasites. In short, she had to bring the Parasite Lord’s egg back

at all costs.

Nash was puzzled. “Isn’t Abraham an honest man? Why did he steal

the egg? Are you sure it isn’t a misunderstanding?”

Chapter 984

He had always thought that Abraham was a kind-hearted and honest

person.

Nash had even asked him what his dream was.

Back then, Abraham had said with certainty, “My dream is to become

a parasite specialist. I want to provide free medical treatment to those who can’t afford it, and I also want to teach those bad guys a lesson for bullying the poor!”

With such aspirations, Nash just could not wrap his head around why

Abraham would want to steal the egg of the Parasite Lord.

“Nashy, people change, don’t you think?”
