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, “Do you know how your mom and dad met?”

“Yes, my dad told me the story before!” Nash said as he nodded.

“It was Valentine’s 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.

“Meanwhile, your mother headed to Sagen’s 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

“The 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.

“They were expanding their businesses, and there wasn’t much free- flowing cash in their family. Hence, your mother did not have much money on her despite being an heiress.

“I did ask her why she needed so much money, but she didn’t 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!

“To 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!”

A disgruntled expression appeared on Jean’s face.

Nash laughed. “I didn’t know that!’

Jean grinned victoriously. “I hired some people to beat him up after that, and he went to get himself a proper job!”

An odd look appeared in her eyes after that.

The corners of Nash’s lips curled upward slightly. “What happened

after that?”

After a moment’s silence, Jean shook her head and said, “Your father loved your mother greatly, and he would always spend his monthly

salary on her!”

Nash continued asking, “Then, when did you appear in their lives?”

A startled look appeared on Jean’s face upon hearing that. “What

your father tell you?”

“He didn’t say anything, but I can tell there was something going o

between you two as well!

“Haven’t you spent all these years unmarried because you’re waiting

for him?”

Nash had a half-smile on his face as he gazed at Jean.

“Don’t get any ideas, Nash. Nothing happened between your father

and I!” Jean said gently with a firm look in her eyes.

“I’m not getting any ideas. I just want to listen to your stories!”

Nash spoke nonchalantly.

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

“You know, I can still guess parts of the story even if you don’t share

anything. You had feelings for my father, but you kept those feelings

to yourself because of my mother!

“The reason you’ve become such an elegant and refined lady is because you’re trying to become more like my mother. You’re trying

to turn into a woman who’s my father’s type!”

Nash lit a cigarette and drew a long drag from it before checking the

time. It was already two o’clock, and it would take an hour to get to

Jonford. “Let’s turn back. It’s almost time to head to the airport!”

The two turned and walked back to where they had come from.

Finally, Jean said, “Back then, your father often returned home late

night and drunk because he was trying to close business deals. I

couldn’t stand watching your mother suffer, so I often hired men

beat him up…

“However, 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 legs…

Jean gave Nash an awkward look after saying that.

An odd smile appeared on Nash’s face.

He had never imagined something this interesting to have happened

to his father…

“I 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.

“I wanted your mother to forgive me so badly that I used my

allowance to fund their lifestyles!

“We 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!

“I 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.

“My 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 didn’t think those feelings were at all

romantic!”
