My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 444

Chapter 444 

Old Herera went to the edge of the coffin and pulled out one of the bodies. 

There were tears in his eyes. 

It felt like a million needles piercing his heart. 

If not for his Art of Skeletal Identification, he would not have been able to make out Zain’s corpse. It would have been nearly impossible to tell which corpse his grandson was. 

After putting clothes on Zain, he tied the body onto his back with some rope. 

A few minutes later, the domed coffin lid began to rise. 

Nico sniffed and said with a puzzled look on his face, “That’s strange… It seems like… there’s nothing outside?” 

He knew what the Undead Corpse King and deathworms smelled like. 

Although there was still a faint smell lingering in the air, it was left over from before. 

Nash raised his deep pair of eyes, stared at Nico, and asked, “Are you sure there’s nothing outside?” 

He was ready to fight to the death, but now Nico had told him that the Undead Corpse King was no longer outside. 

“I’m positive… I’m sure that the Undead Corpse King and deathworms aren’t outside!” Nico said with confidence. 

“Could it be that the Undead Corpse King was scared of Mr. Nash and ran away with the deathworms?” Finn grinned as he flattered Nash. 

“We’ll see when we’re outside!” 

Nash did not dare to relax a single muscle. 

“Tsk…” 

Out of nowhere, Derek gasped. 

‘Who the fuck just grabbed my ass?’ he thought. 

Out of the corner of his eye, Derek glanced at Melody, who was next to him. 

The coffin was very spacious, but to build up everyone’s confidence, they had all huddled together. 

Melody was closest to him. 

He believed that it must have been her. 

‘Could it be that Ms. Mel has fallen for me? Looks like I’ll say goodbye to my single life soon! My mom will be overjoyed if I can bring such a rich and beautiful woman home!’ A lewd smile sprawled across Derek’s face as he was immersed in his thoughts. 

Nash and Finn noticed that something strange was going on and both looked at Derek. 

Melody had just noticed Derek peeking at her. She could not help but frown and ask, “Why are 

you smiling so obscenely?” 

“No… It’s nothing…” 

Derek dropped his smile. 

He thought that it must be embarrassing for Ms. Mel that Mr. Nash and Finn had noticed because he was careless about his actions. 

Suddenly, the hand on his butt grabbed harder. 

Derek was already breaking into a cold sweat from the pain, but he gritted his teeth and dared not to make a sound. 

‘It must’ve been the incident earlier that made Ms. Mel angry. It’s a secret affair, after all, I get it…’ Derek said to himself. 

Melody was increasingly aware that something was wrong 

She quickly took a step across toward Nash. 

Derek was instantly puzzled. 

as wrong with Derek. 

‘It’s not Ms. Mel? It can’t be that mischievous little girl, Heidi, right?’ he questioned himself. 

He turned to look at Heidi, who was next to him. 

However, Heidi gave him a look of disgust and walked over to Melody. 

‘What the hell?’ Derek cursed internally. 

He glanced to his left and right before turning around to take a look. 

Behind him was the inner wall of the bronze coffin. 

In order words, there was no one around him.
