My Substitute CEO Bride romance Capítulo 2339

"You little punk!" Clayton scolded, still reaching for Chuck's phone.

Meanwhile, Vizimir watched the two brothers playfully argue from his spot at the counter, where he was listening to a track by a contemporary master known by the stage name of Marcus.

"Oh, you're quite the connoisseur," Barther said as he approached the counter to pay his bill.

Vizimir waved him off. "Nah, I'm just a casual listener. I've heard that Mr. Malrose is quite popular lately."

Barther nodded.

"Yeah, I enjoy his music too. They say his songs are deeply connected to his own experiences. Even though his early years were filled with setbacks, they never dulled his edge. That's why he can still sing the kind of songs no one else dares to. That's what makes him a true master."

"Thanks for the insight, Mr. Barther."

"Haha, you're too kind, Mr. Vizimir. I just—hey, ow!" Barther's mother suddenly yanked his ear.

"What are you doing here? Hurry up! Your dad's about to head to work soon!"

"Yeah, yeah, I know." Barther grabbed the takeout and left the restaurant with his mother.

Up in the sky, Dusky watched everything unfold without saying a word.

Howl turned to him and remarked, "You're a lot like him, you know."

"Him?"

Howl nodded. "Yeah, you. You really went and changed their fates, didn't you? But are you sure this was the right thing to do?"

Dusky hesitated before responding, "I'm not sure. Even now, they're facing their own struggles. It's just the intertwining of luck and misfortune. I don't know if what I did was right or wrong, but... I just couldn't bear to see even worse things happen."

Dusky fell silent, still unwilling to leave.

Howl was puzzled and asked, "You're still not leaving?"

Dusky shook his head and then posed a question. "Howl, at the start, who did you think would become a god?"

Howl thought for a moment before answering confidently, "Chuck."
