My Substitute CEO Bride
Chapter 973
She began telling Nash funny stories about her schooling days with
Ruby.
Nash listened quietly and laughed with her from time to time.
When she finished talking about their days in university, Jean abruptly
asked, âDo you know how your mom and dad met?â
âYes, my dad told me the story before!â Nash said as he nodded.
âIt was Valentineâs Day, and your mother and I were selling roses. We
made a bet that whoever made fewer sales would have to treat the
other to dinner. I set up shop at Divinity Mountain and sold everything
in less than half an hour.
âMeanwhile, your mother headed to Sagenâs town square and only
returned late at night⦠For the next few days, she kept heading out by
herself and even asked me to loan her some money several time
âThe Windsor family was already one of the Elite Families then, wh
the Snyder family had just risen up the ranks to become a Second
Tier Elite Family.
âThey were expanding their businesses, and there wasnât much free- flowing cash in their family. Hence, your mother did not have much money on her despite being an heiress.
âI did ask her why she needed so much money, but she didnât tell me
anything. It took me following her and finding out she was cozying up
with a man to realize she was in a relationship!

âTo be frank, your father was quite a bastard then. He was in a total slump after getting scammed of all his money, and your mother was the one keeping him alive. In other words, he was a kept man!â
A disgruntled expression appeared on Jeanâs face.
Nash laughed. âI didnât know that!â
Jean grinned victoriously. âI hired some people to beat him up after that, and he went to get himself a proper job!â
An odd look appeared in her eyes after that.
The corners of Nashâs lips curled upward slightly. âWhat happened
after that?â
After a momentâs silence, Jean shook her head and said, âYour father loved your mother greatly, and he would always spend his monthly
salary on her!â
Nash continued asking, âThen, when did you appear in their lives?â
A startled look appeared on Jeanâs face upon hearing that. âWhat
your father tell you?â
âHe didnât say anything, but I can tell there was something going o
between you two as well!
âHavenât you spent all these years unmarried because youâre waiting
for him?â
Nash had a half-smile on his face as he gazed at Jean.
âDonât get any ideas, Nash. Nothing happened between your father
and I!â Jean said gently with a firm look in her eyes.

âIâm not getting any ideas. I just want to listen to your stories!â
Nash spoke nonchalantly.
Jean lowered her head and remained silent for a long time.
âYou know, I can still guess parts of the story even if you donât share
anything. You had feelings for my father, but you kept those feelings
to yourself because of my mother!
âThe reason youâve become such an elegant and refined lady is because youâre trying to become more like my mother. Youâre trying
to turn into a woman whoâs my fatherâs type!â
Nash lit a cigarette and drew a long drag from it before checking the
time. It was already two oâclock, and it would take an hour to get to
Jonford. âLetâs turn back. Itâs almost time to head to the airport!â
The two turned and walked back to where they had come from.
Finally, Jean said, âBack then, your father often returned home late
night and drunk because he was trying to close business deals. I
couldnât stand watching your mother suffer, so I often hired men
beat him upâ¦
âHowever, no matter how much we beat him up, your father never
seemed to change. That really riled me up. One time, I accidentally hit
him too hard and broke his legsâ¦
Jean gave Nash an awkward look after saying that.
An odd smile appeared on Nashâs face.
He had never imagined something this interesting to have happened

to his fatherâ¦
4/4
âI took him to the hospital, warned him not to breathe a word about this to your mother, and hired one of the best doctors available to treat his legs. Your mother found out the very next day, and she nearly
severed ties with me over this.
âI wanted your mother to forgive me so badly that I used my
allowance to fund their lifestyles!
âWe went to a lot of cities together during that time. I enjoyed living such a carefree life, and I slowly developed feelings for your father. Back then, I thought I just viewed your father as a good friend, just like the way I thought of your mother as my best friend!
âI returned home after I ran out of money, but I just could not feel any
happiness. My brother came to have a heart-to-heart talk with me, and I told him everything.
âMy brother had a feeling I liked your father, and I had a huge argument with him over that. Both your parents were equally important to me, and I didnât think those feelings were at all
romantic!â
