My Substitute CEO Bride romance Capítulo 1284

Surprised at the sudden question, Rosella asked, "Why are you asking about this now, Grandpa Zion?"

Yelzog and other Mystique Loyalty Realm martial artists were all looking at Nash.

Seeing their reactions, Rosella also turned to have a quick look. She thought he looked quite handsome and young, but that was all.

Rosella presumed Nash was of no importance, given he did not have a bodyguard escorting him.

Yelzog said grimly, "Ten years ago, our family faced a string of misfortunes, and nothing seemed to go our way. We were on the brink of destruction. It was then an immortal cultivator came to our aid.

"I still don't know how he did it, but he brought luck and prosperity, thereby transforming our family's fate. In just three years, our family became one of the top families. Anyway, the cultivator had a disciple, none other than the man we're observing.

"I remember kneeling before Tili Mountain for three days, pleading with the cultivator to allow his disciple to take you as his bride, but he outright rejected my request!"

Giving Nash another scan from head to toe, Rosella said with disdain, "Well, I'm glad he rejected. Otherwise, you'd be regretting it now! I mean, look at him! He doesn't even have a bodyguard!"

Letting out a sigh, Yelzog said with an unreadable expression, "Don't be so sure of yourself! He's that cultivator's disciple, after all. I'm sure there's more to this man than meets the eye!"

Rosella shook her head in disagreement as she said, "I don't think so. If he really is who you think he is, I'm sure he won't show up to this ceremony like this!"

Meanwhile, at the next table, Isadora found herself staring agape at what she overheard.

Yelzog had pleaded with someone to ask for their hand in marriage?! That man was none other than Nash?

Isaac, who also overheard their conversation, initially frowned at Yelzog's words but later breathed out a sigh of relief.

Unlike some others, he had done some digging on Nash.

Isaac knew that Nash's wife, Hera, had received tremendous support in her business and that she was about to be the top businesswoman in Jonford in less than three months.

It had taken Isaac three years to get to where he was now.

Letting out a sigh, Isaac leaned toward Isadora and said while keeping his voice low, "Listen to me, Dora. If Nash manages to survive whatever happens tonight, you must take him as your husband, do you hear me? You must.

"I don't care if he loves you or not, you must bear his child."

Isaac scoffed. "If that was the case, I'd have found one long ago. Why would I wait until now?"

A hint of realization flashed across Isadora's face as she asked in a whisper, "You know, Nash is also a famous doctor. Perhaps he could help you?"

Isaac nearly jumped up from his seat as he said angrily, "You listen to me, Isadora Sloan! I've only loved your mother, and she's the only woman I'll ever love for the rest of my life. And to address your concern, I had a vasectomy right after you were born!"

Isadora's eyes glistened with tears upon hearing what her father said.

Her parents were childhood sweethearts.

They attended the same kindergarten and had been together until university. They even co-founded a business together after graduating.

On the day Isadora was born, her mother went through a difficult labor. The doctor said her mother's life was in jeopardy, and they were presented with a dire choice—only one could survive, either the child or the mother.

Isaac had decided to save Isadora's mother, but she had adamantly refused, insisting on saving her child instead.

Although Isaac disagreed with her decision, he ultimately had no choice but to compromise.
