My Substitute CEO Bride romance Capítulo 744

Nash frowned slightly.

He opened his Third Eye and looked at Maria, only to see a black and red mist surrounding her body.

He thought, ‘Is this the Ghoul Evil?’

Nash recalled in his mind that when he was 13 years old, his master brought him to kill a thousand-year-old ghoul.

The afflicted person was surrounded by an evil presence.

The Ghoul Evil resided in the body of a living person and grew by absorbing the person’s breath flow. When it grew to a certain level, the ghoul could take back the Ghoul Evil to increase its own strength.

Hera noticed Nash was frowning while staring at Maria. She asked in confusion, "What's wrong with Maria?"

Smiling, Nash said, "Nothing. Let's go back inside. Oh, please make me some pasta!"

Hera arched her eyebrows and nodded. "Sure, I’ll make you my best bolognese!"

The two returned to the living room.

Meanwhile, Maria was busy in the kitchen.

When Hera was walking to the kitchen, Nash said, "Hera, please ask Maria to come out."

"Okay."

Hera responded without looking back.

After a while, Maria came out and asked anxiously, "Mr. Calcraft, are you looking for me..."

After working here for so long, Mr. Calcraft had never looked for her. She was worried that she would lose her job now that he suddenly wanted to see her.

Nash pointed to the sofa and said with a slight smile, "Maria, please have a seat."

Maria shook her head. "I'm fine with just standing. Mr. Calcraft, please just say it if there’s anything on your mind!"

"We'll talk after you sit down. You're my elder, so I'll treat you as one. When juniors talk to their elders, why should the elders stand while the juniors sit?"

Maria was moved by Nash's heart-warming words. She sat on the sofa but still felt uneasy in her heart.

Nash saw that Maria was nervous and said in a gentle tone, "Maria, don't be nervous. I just have a few questions to ask you."

Maria raised her head happily. "What do you want to ask Mr. Calcraft?"

Looking solemn, he asked, "Where did you go last night?"

During the day yesterday, he did not notice any Ghoul Evil on Maria.

Maria stood up and walked to the kitchen.

Nash bit his right index finger to draw some blood before drawing a rune on his left palm. He then shoved his palm to Maria's back.

An invisible spell shook away the ghoul from Maria's body.

Maria suddenly felt a lot more relaxed all over. Stretching her neck, she said to herself, "Why do I feel so much better?"

It was probably because Mr. Calcraft had shown his concern for her. Everything would be better when he was in a good mood!

At this time, Hera came out with the hot bolognese pasta and some chowder. "My dear, it's time to eat!"

Nash came to the dining table with a smile. He had not eaten anything at all. He was so hungry that he picked up his cutlery and started to wolf down the food.

Hera sat on the chair across from him, resting her chin on her hands. She said with a smile, "You must be hungry. Help yourself."

Nash said vaguely, "I’ve been too busy to eat."

Hera pouted and said, "You still have to eat. What if your body is affected?"

Nash took a sip of hot chowder before saying with a smile, "I'm healthy as a horse. I’ll be fine even if I don't eat for ten days!"
