My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 2245

Lenyra should return to the company rather than live a miserable life with him in the wilderness. She was Fletcher's flesh and blood, so she definitely had a chance of inheriting the family's assets.

However, the moment Sterling agreed to Fletcher’s terms, Xenith ran away with Lenyra.

Nobody knew where they had gone.

Fletcher knew what his daughter was thinking. As long as he could secure Sterling on his side, she would definitely come back.

Therefore, he invited Sterling to the Northern Territory in the name of finding his daughter.

"That's what happened," Sterling ended his explanation.

Nash patted Sterling on the shoulder when he was done and said, "Mossy boy, are you being a fool? She has made herself so clear to you, and you still sided with her father?"

Sterling shook his head. "Master Nash, my current name is Sterling Wickham."

"Sterling Wickham?"

"Yes, I just want to be an ordinary person now. But it's also because of this that I'd feel I’m a burden to others. I don't want anyone to be hurt because of me. Maybe it's better for me to be alone like this, so that’s why I rejected Lenyra.

"As long as she isn't with me and she inherits the company, her future will be bright. She won't have to live a life of poverty with me. "

"S-Sterling?" Nash was a little surprised. He did not expect that the loss of strength would make the once dissolute young man become like this.

In other words, Sterling and Mosley were two different people from Nash’s perspective. Sterling no longer had the same temperament as before. He used to be unwilling to give up and dared to put up a fight. Now, he began to be afraid of everything about himself and the future.

Nash understood how Sterling felt. After all, nobody could always be as carefree as the wind. There would always be a time when one had to stop as one's responsibilities became heavier. This was probably why Sterling was worried.

"Do you like her?" Hera asked.

Both of them turned to look at the same time. Hera, who had been ushered away by Nash, had come over at some point.

Sterling was a little overwhelmed by this question.
