My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 1040

Chapter 1040 

“Love can’t be forced. You’ve never truly loved me! 

“You’re only saying that to fill the void in your heart.” 

Cassie looked up at the endless night sky as she spoke softly. 

Nash was filled with mixed feelings. 

She seemed to know him better than himself, but she only got it half right. 

“Why else do you think I made that promise to you in the Parasite Colony?” Nash chuckled. 

Cassie turned to look at him in surprise. 

That year, she was 11, and he was 18. 

Around Nash’s second month in the Parasite Colony, he promised her, “Cassie, when you grow up, I’ll marry you!” 

It was because of that that her father always wanted her to marry Nash, but Nash’s master told them that he was already engaged. 

They parted ways six years ago, and when they met again, he had 

already become someone else’s husband. 

Nash stared deep into her eyes. “I did like you a lot at that time. If it weren’t for the blood feud, I probably wouldn’t have fulfilled my master’s engagement. I would’ve married you instead!” 

After saying that, Nash felt guilty. “I’m sorry I broke my promise!” 

Cassie was tearing up. 

He did like her, but he had no choice, 

Cassie blushed and said, “It’s okay, Nash. The fact that you liked me is enough!” 

Nash took a deep breath and said, “I’m not lying. If you survive this, I’ll definitely marry you!” 

Cassie leaned into him and kissed him. 

After listening to his words, she could really die without regrets now. 

Time passed like running water. 

Three hours passed in the blink of an eye. 

Cassie lay in Nash’s arms and said many things until her voice began 

to weaken and her breathing became short. The energy in her body 

began to wither away. 

Just then, a white crescent appeared on the east horizon. 

The magnificent morning sun was slowly rising, and the morning 

glow was like a thousand golden threads floating in the sky. 

Cassie’s heartbeat quickened, and her blood pressure rose. She knew 

that she did not have much time left, so she pursed her pale lips and 

reached out to touch Nash’s face. 

With a sweet smile, she said, “Thank you, Nashy, for spending the last 

moments of my life with me!” 

She lifted her hands halfway but ran out of strength. 

With bloodshot eyes, Nash grabbed Cassie’s hand and put it on his face. 

Her hands were cold, so Nash restored a little bit of true energy to warm her up. 

Cassie lightly parted her lips and said, “The sun is coming up soon… Watch the sunrise with me!” 

“Okay!” 

Nash nodded lightly and helped her up before letting her nestle in his arms again. 

The two of them watched the sunrise in the east. Neither of them spoke, and they just quietly listened to each other’s heartbeat. 

Not far behind, Eric, Jaxon, Hera, Melody, and Felicity all arrived. 

Hera was worried that something had happened to Nash, so she called Eric. 

When Eric heard that the two masters had gone out with Nash, he immediately contacted Jaxon and Felicity. 

Jaxon had also sensed the fluctuations of fighting in the west last 

night. 

He and Felicity finally found the place about an hour ago.
