My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 1854

Marius shook, his eyes fixed firmly on Nash before him.

"Mr. Crimson, how do you do?" Nash greeted with a respectful salute.

Marius's eyes shimmered with tears of excitement. "Good, very good! You're no doubt a descendant of the Young family. Such majestic presence and strong features, you'll surely be able to bear the great responsibility of reviving the Young family!"

The three people beside Marius looked at Nash in astonishment. This was the Young family's only surviving descendant that their uncle had mentioned?

"Hank, go to the village chief's house and buy a sheep. We'll treat Mr. Calcraft to a proper lunch today!"

"Understood!"

Hank nodded and made his way toward a thatched house in the bamboo forest. This was where the village chief lived. There was a sheep pen behind the house where about ten sheep were kept.

Marius grabbed Nash's arm, smiling broadly. "Come, let me treat you to some freshly brewed fruit wine!"

When they arrived at Marius's residence, Marius instructed Xeno to catch fish in the stream and David to bring out tables and chairs from the house to the courtyard.

Nash and his companions sat down with Marius while David brought out a jug of fruit wine.

Marius poured the wine into a decanter and then into several glasses. "This is a handmade fruit wine. There are no additives at all and isn't something you'll find outside. The fruits were even imported from Italea!"

Nash raised his cup and took a sip. The wine carried hints of earth and green, with a sweet and sour taste mixed with the aroma of alcohol. It was rich and smooth, leaving a pleasant aftertaste.

Theo took a sip of the wine, savoring it before he commented, “Mr. Crimson, your brewing skills rival a master's. I've had many famous wines, but compared to yours, they fall short in taste!"

Marius chuckled. "Mr. Skye, you're too kind. Brewing is just a hobby for me. I'm satisfied as long as it's drinkable!"

After exchanging some pleasantries, Marius's expression turned serious as he asked, "Did Mr. Skye bring you here for the Young family's hidden treasure?"
