My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 942

Chapter 942 

“What happened to that Grim Reaper-esque smile of yours? I remember the first time we met, you didn’t even care about my colonel status.” Stellar smiled surprisedly. 

“I didn’t know you then. Isn’t it normal to treat strangers and close acquaintances differently? You’re not putting on airs right now anyway,” Nash retorted with a smile. 

“Hahaha… You’re right!” Stellar laughed heartily, seemingly in a good 

mood. 

Philix looked at the people behind Nash and said, “Are these your 

friends?” 

“Felicity Snyder of the Snyder family, at your service!” 

Felicity took the initiative to introduce herself without waiting for 

Nash to do it. 

She was going to introduce herself as Deputy Snyder of the 

Inspection Office, but after giving it some thought, she figured that 

would be better to introduce herself as a member of the Snyder 

family. 

“Melody Stone, at your service!” 

“The Light guides. Jaxon, at your service!” 

Melody and Jaxon bowed and curtsied. 

“There’s no need for such formality!”

Philix waved his hands and smiled without the airs that a warden 

should have. 

“Really? Can I call you Philix, then? Our names are so similar that you 

almost feel like family to me!” 

Felicity said unrestrainedly. 

Philix stared at her intently, which scared her. “I… I was just kidding… 

“Hahaha… You’re quite endearing, young lady!” 

Philix laughed heartily. 

“I’ll take that as a yes, Philix!” 

Felicity casually put her arm around his. 

Melody was taken aback. 

That was the North Warden. 

How could she put her arm around his right after they met? If there was a sniper hidden somewhere, they would probably have their finger on the trigger right now. 

Philix did not mind. He looked up at the clock tower in the distance and said, “Come have a look at the clock tower with me!’ 

Felicity asked, “Philix, I heard that you always come to the clock tower in the town square when you’re in Sagen. Does the clock tower hold any special meaning?” 

She had always been a very inquisitive person, so she wanted to know the connection between the clock tower and the mighty North

Warden next to her. 

Philix put his hands in the pockets of his windbreaker and said slowly, 

“I’ll tell you a story later!” 

While they were chatting away, they arrived at the clock tower once 

again. 

Philix took his hands out of his pockets. He held half a pack of 

cigarettes. He took one out, put it in his mouth, and lit it up. 

His gaze gradually softened, and there was a hint of pain in his eyes. 

His look alone caused a wave of sadness to wash over Nash and the 

others. 

Philix stood quietly under the clock tower. 

Nash and the others accompanied him in silence. 

Once Philix’s cigarette had burned out, Stellar took the cigarette butt 

from Philix’s hand and threw it into a nearby trash can. 

Philix lifted his hand to touch the moss on the stone base of the 

tower. When his hands got to a certain part, he used his nails to pick
