My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 75

Chapter 75 

If the Watson family managed to get on good terms with the Skye family, they would be able to remain a prestigious family for the next hundred years. 

However, he was curious about the relationship between the Lee and Skye family. 

Why did Theo address Mr. Lee as Grandpa? 

“You arrived just in time, Theo. Have a few drinks with the warden on your grandfather’s behalf!” 

Joseph grinned as he spoke. 

Theo leaned back into his chair and grinned, “Don’t worry, father-in-law. I’ll make sure the warden is in good company tonight!” 

Father-in-law! 

The corners of Walter’s mouth twitched. 

He glanced at Olivia from the corner of his eyes. 

Olivia was staring at Theo lovingly. 

Grant had a bitter smile on his face. “Mr. Lee, when did your granddaughter get married? Why didn’t we hear even a word about it?” 

All Mr. Lee did was grin at them. 

“My father has Alzheimer’s disease. You may direct any questions to me instead, Mr. Zell!” 

Joseph smiled as he explained, “It’s no fault of yours that you didn’t know. My daughter and Theo got married overseas…” 

Since Theo had managed to rush over today, he could take the chance to inform these old men of their marriage. 

He was also doing so to warn them to treat the Lee family with more respect in the future. 

The heads of the families all silently lowered their heads. Walter was grinning so widely, it seemed that his face was going to split into two. 

If the Lee and Skye family were connected this way, it meant there was a high chance the Watson and Skye family could combine forces! 

Theo raised his glass and began making a toast to the warden, “Warden, Among the four wardens, my grandfather has the highest respect for you, the warden of the Northern Territory. Let me drink this glass of wine on his behalf…” 

The warden raised an eyebrow. It was no surprise this young man was a businessman. 

If he was drinking his first glass on behalf of his grandfather, who else would he be drinking on behalf of his second glass? 

Was he trying to get himself drunk? 

It was a joyous occasion, and it would be unkind of him to not play along with the youngster’s games. 

Besides, this was the young master of the Skye family they were talking about. 

While raising his glass, he smiled and said, “I can’t hold my alcohol very well. Please go easy on me…” 

He had just finished his sentence when Nash’s voice rang out. “You can have three glasses…” 

The warden was not in excellent shape, and he was barely managing to walk without a cane after consuming some potent medication before leaving his house. 

Detoxifying poison medicine was usually quite mild, but it would have side effects if paired with large amounts of alcohol. 

The warden would be under pain that no ordinary person could withstand if that happened. 

“Three glasses?” 

“How’s that possible…” 

Theo turned to the person who had spoken before him. 

When he realized it was Nash, he grinned and said, “I worry the warden wouldn’t be able to enjoy himself fully if he only had three glasses. Let’s not stop him from drinking, and allow him to enjoy himself instead!” 

The warden roared with laughter, “Just you wait, young man. I’ll make you chug three full pints once I’ve recovered…” 

Theo chuckled. “All deal is a deal!” 

Stellar realized with a jolt that the warden seemed to enjoy talking to young people. 

It was the same when they were in the Northern Territory. The warden had often hung out with the young lower-ranking soldiers in their twenties. 

Was it because he was getting older? 

At Herman’s table. 

Helena asked excitedly, “Grandpa, did you hear that? The Skye and Lee family are connected through marriage!” 

Both the Lee and Skye family had nothing to do with her, but she was on good terms with the Watson family. 

If the Watson and Lee family were on good terms, wouldn’t that mean she stood a chance of befriending someone from the Skye family as well?
