Chapter 971
My Substitute CEO Bride
Chapter 971
At the grand luncheon, Felicity put her phone down and gave Jean a curious look. âThe most influential individuals in both the business and political spheres are at my house, Madam Windsor. Donât you think itâs a little inappropriate for you to be here?â
The elegant-looking woman seated at the head of the table smiled demurely. âIâve never been to Snyder Estate ever since your aunt
passed!â
Felicity glanced at Nash before she then asked, âMadam Windsor, can
I ask you a question?â
âYes, go ahead!â
âYouâ¦â
Felicity thought the question was slightly awkward and did not know
how to begin her sentence.
âGo ahead and ask whatâs on your mind. I donât bite!â
Jean put her cutlery down gently.
Felicity drew in a deep breath and summoned her courage to ask, â
Rumor has it that you were once a nun. Is that true?â
Jean gave Felicity a startled look. âWho said that?â
âSo, does that mean this isnât true?â
âItâs not true!â
âThen, why arenât you married?â
âCan I refuse to answer this question?â
Jean had a rueful look on her face. However, she did not seem
offended.
Felicity shook her head and said, âNo, you must answer it!â
Jeanâs eyebrows began knitting themselves together slowly.
Then, Nash spoke up, âDonât interrogate her, Felicity. Weâve all got
secrets weâd like to keep to ourselves.â
Felicity stuck her tongue out. âFine, Iâll stop asking questions!â
Jean picked up her wine glass and changed the subject. âMr. Calcraft, Iâd like to thank you on behalf of the Windsor family for ridding Sagen
of its troubles!â
Nash smiled as he also picked up his wine glasses. âI didnât have
much to do with that. Itâs all thanks to the Northern Territory Warden
You should thank him instead!â
An odd look appeared on Jeanâs face when the Northern Territory
Warden was mentioned.
Nash did not ask any questions and downed his wine in one go.
After lunch, Nash asked Felicity for her help in booking several plane
tickets for a return trip to Jonford.
Felicity booked tickets for a flight at three in the afternoon.
Jean asked the housekeeper to prepare some fruits and tea.

While having dessert, Felicity asked, âMadam Windsor, what sort of person was my aunt like?â
She was asking that question on behalf of Nash.
She knew Nash was at the Windsor home because he wanted to
know more about his mother.
Jean perched on the couch elegantly, a look of reminisce appearing in her eyes as she said, âShe was a kind, gentle, and sensible lady. I used to describe her as a ray of sunlight because she would bring warmth to every place she went!â
Felicity sighed. âI can imagine just how popular she must have been back in the day!â
Jean chuckled. âThe number of love letters I was asked to pass to her was enough to fill several large bags. The rich and handsome heirs of the business and political spheres were interested in her.
âThe current governor of Sagen actually spent two years trying to woo her, while the current patriarch of Capitonâs Zuniga family actually ran
away from home for her!â
Eric could not help clicking his tongue after hearing what Jean said. Do you have any pictures of her? Iâm curious what she looks like!â
After a momentâs silence, Jean retrieved a wallet from her LV handbag and took a colored photograph out of it. She handed the
picture to Eric.
There were two gorgeous-looking women in the photograph.
One was in a white dress and had a cream-colored round hat perched

on her head. Her hair was braided into two braids that hung down her chest, and she had a gentle smile on her face.
Her smile was one of the most beautiful things one could ever lay
their eyes on.
The other person was wearing a long green dress, and her hair was also braided into two braids. She was using her fingers to poke her cheeks and had crossed her eyes to make a funny face. She seemed
adorable.
Eric handed the photo to Nash and said appreciatively, âIndeed, sheâs beautiful. Thereâs an air of elegance about her!â
Nash took the photo and could not help grinning when he saw his mother in her youth. âNo wonder she gave birth to a son as good-
looking as I amâ¦..â
âDonât get all cocky⦠Youâre not even half as good-looking as Jaxon
is!â
Felicity grabbed the photo from Nashâs hands and was stunned by
her beauty. âSheâs gorgeous⦠As expected of the Snyder familyâs
wonderful genes!â
