My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 416

Chapter 416 

What he said hurt Melody’s feelings. 

She quietly lowered her head. 

When Finn noticed, he gave Nash a displeased look. “Nash… you’re being too harsh!” 

Nash realized he had not watched his mouth. He smiled as he said comfortingly, “I wasn’t thinking before I spoke, Melody… I’m sorry!” 

Melody had an alluring figure and gorgeous-looking features. 

Naturally, she had attracted the attention of countless men. 

If she wanted to, she could get married to over a dozen men as long as she agreed to give her hand in marriage. 

As for why she still had not been in a relationship… It was probably because she had not found the right man for her yet. 

After all, she was a president with a several-billion-dollar net worth. She was well-versed in martial arts as well. It made sense for her to have extremely high standards. 

Melody forced herself to smile. “It’s alright…” 

Nash scratched his head, unsure of what to do. “I’ll find some time to introduce you to a couple of men who’d be an excellent match…” 

He knew countless young and talented men. One of them might help take Melody off the market. 

Melody pursed her lips. “It’s alright… I’m interested in someone!” 

Finn cleared his throat and grinned. “Is it me? Could it be me?” 

Derek also placed a hand on his face, which he personally found to be extremely good-looking. However, his hand landed right on a patch of stubble. 

Melody rolled her eyes at Finn. “Are you sure you want to be saying that? Why don’t you take a good look at how you look first?” 

Finn clasped his hands against his chest, a pained expression on his face. “Melody… That hurts me greatly. After all, I’m the very last disciple that Master Path of Northdale Mountain accepted… 

“Whenever I visited an elite family, they’d be more than happy to have me marry their treasured daughters… You should be more perceptive!” 

Melody grinned. “Go on, then… Let me know when you’re getting married. I’ll give you a cash gift of 20 million dollars!” 

The corner of Finn’s mouth jerked upward. 

That woman had absolutely no interest in him! 

As they spoke, the solemn expressions slowly vanished from everyone’s faces. 

After nearly half an hour of walking, the dirt on the ground began turning loose. 

It felt like they were walking on cotton instead of on solid ground. 

Bradley raised a hand and motioned for them to stop. 

Nico frowned. “Grandpa… what… what’s going on?” 

“We’re in a swamp!” 

Bradley had a solemn expression on his face as he muttered to himself, “The heavenly eight- angle trigram recorded the southeast position as being a divine trigram position. It was also stated that there would be a swamp in said position. 

“And here we are, standing in a swamp!” 

Derek frowned, “Grandpa Perry, why are you mumbling to yourself? Hurry up and come up with a plan!” 

Bradley looked ahead and said, “We can continue our journey… We’ll only stop if the mud begins flowing!” 

To be on the safe side, he said, “Nico and I will go scope out the surroundings. Everyone else, stay here and wait for us!” 

Nico’s face paled. “No… I won’t go… I don’t want to die just yet!”
