My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 973

Chapter 973 

She began telling Nash funny stories about her schooling days with 

Ruby. 

Nash listened quietly and laughed with her from time to time. 

When she finished talking about their days in university, Jean abruptly 

asked, “Do you know how your mom and dad met?” 

“Yes, my dad told me the story before!” Nash said as he nodded. 

“It was Valentine’s Day, and your mother and I were selling roses. We 

made a bet that whoever made fewer sales would have to treat the 

other to dinner. I set up shop at Divinity Mountain and sold everything 

in less than half an hour. 

“Meanwhile, your mother headed to Sagen’s town square and only 

returned late at night… For the next few days, she kept heading out by 

herself and even asked me to loan her some money several time 

“The Windsor family was already one of the Elite Families then, wh 

the Snyder family had just risen up the ranks to become a Second 

Tier Elite Family. 

“They were expanding their businesses, and there wasn’t much free- flowing cash in their family. Hence, your mother did not have much money on her despite being an heiress. 

“I did ask her why she needed so much money, but she didn’t tell me 

anything. It took me following her and finding out she was cozying up 

with a man to realize she was in a relationship!

“To be frank, your father was quite a bastard then. He was in a total slump after getting scammed of all his money, and your mother was the one keeping him alive. In other words, he was a kept man!” 

A disgruntled expression appeared on Jean’s face. 

Nash laughed. “I didn’t know that!’ 

Jean grinned victoriously. “I hired some people to beat him up after that, and he went to get himself a proper job!” 

An odd look appeared in her eyes after that. 

The corners of Nash’s lips curled upward slightly. “What happened 

after that?” 

After a moment’s silence, Jean shook her head and said, “Your father loved your mother greatly, and he would always spend his monthly 

salary on her!” 

Nash continued asking, “Then, when did you appear in their lives?” 

A startled look appeared on Jean’s face upon hearing that. “What 

your father tell you?” 

“He didn’t say anything, but I can tell there was something going o 

between you two as well! 

“Haven’t you spent all these years unmarried because you’re waiting 

for him?” 

Nash had a half-smile on his face as he gazed at Jean. 

“Don’t get any ideas, Nash. Nothing happened between your father 

and I!” Jean said gently with a firm look in her eyes.

“I’m not getting any ideas. I just want to listen to your stories!” 

Nash spoke nonchalantly. 

Jean lowered her head and remained silent for a long time. 

“You know, I can still guess parts of the story even if you don’t share 

anything. You had feelings for my father, but you kept those feelings 

to yourself because of my mother! 

“The reason you’ve become such an elegant and refined lady is because you’re trying to become more like my mother. You’re trying 

to turn into a woman who’s my father’s type!” 

Nash lit a cigarette and drew a long drag from it before checking the 

time. It was already two o’clock, and it would take an hour to get to 

Jonford. “Let’s turn back. It’s almost time to head to the airport!” 

The two turned and walked back to where they had come from. 

Finally, Jean said, “Back then, your father often returned home late 

night and drunk because he was trying to close business deals. I 

couldn’t stand watching your mother suffer, so I often hired men 

beat him up… 

“However, no matter how much we beat him up, your father never
