When Nash saw Heraâs middle finger, he laughed and asked, âWhere
did you learn that from?â
âIs this even something that needs to be learned? Isnât it an
international hand gesture?â
Hera replied breathlessly.
Nash sighed. âWill you be mad since I caused you to lose a 300- million-dollar business deal?â
Hera wrapped her arms around Nashâs neck and said, âNo, 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!â
Nash smiled a satisfied smile. âNext time, just throw hands if anyone.
ever rubs you the wrong way. Donât forget youâve got a powerful
husband supporting you from behind the scenes!â
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 Nashâs back. âItâs so wonderful to have such an amazing husband!â
âIn which aspect am I amazing?â
âIn all aspects imaginable!â
Hera closed her eyes bashfully. There was a joyful smile on her face
as she said, âDo you think God sent me such a wonderful husband
because I saved the universe in another lifeâ¦â
Nash said in a low voice, âI owed you too much in that life, which is
why God arranged for us to meet in this life!â
They walked out past the gates as they spoke.
Nash paused. âShould I have gone to the parking lot instead?â
Hera whined, âNo. You made me cry just now, so your punishment is to carry me home!â
Nash sighed. âThank goodness I had three tonic formulas just now. Otherwise, carrying you home on my back wouldâve been difficult!â
âGosh, no wonder you suddenly became so strong all of a sudden. Turns out itâs because you took medicine!
âGosh, youâre still young, but youâre already relying on medicine to
keep our sex life active? Are you sure you can do it?â
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, âI crafted 12 of those
tonic formulas, and I only had three of them just now!â
Hera immediately wiped the smile off her face and said cutely, â Alright, Iâm sorry, my dearest husband!â
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 Heraâs eyes as she listened to the story, and she wrapped her arms around Nashâs neck. âHoney, letâs never get
separated, alright?â
Nash tightened his hold on Hera as well. âOf course. Iâm waiting for the day weâre so old that I can wash your dentures for you!â
âWeâre straying from the topic. What I want to ask you is, what do you think Jean is thinking of now?â
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.
âHm⦠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.
âIf she claims Wolf as her own, how is she supposed to explain things to her deceased best friend?â Hera murmured as she lay on Nashâs
back.
âItâs like she has a grave in her heart for someone she still thinks is alive. Jean likes Wolf, but she canât get over the mental block sheâs set up for herself. Thus, she has decided to keep those feelings. buried forever and remain single until the end of her life!â
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 storyâs main characters, he was impressed by his fatherâs 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 Nashâs face as she asked softly, This Wolf guy youâre talking about is your father, isnât it?â
Nash had a startled expression on his face. âHow did you know? Did Melody tell you?â
